I am interested in exchanging information on the family of Thomas Tuckwiller, Sr., of Shenandoah Co., Virginia. The following information is taken from letters I have received over the years, so I cannot vouch for all of it but it may give clues pertaining to this family.

Thomas Tuckwiller, Sr.

1768, May 25 Entry obtained by Thos Takewiller in the Late Proprietor's Office for about 400 acres #963, surveyed 1 Nov 1787, actually 119 acres [Shenandoah County Survey Book 1785-1794].
