Tombstone Tuesday – Churchwell Branch Tucker

January 6, 2009 Tonia Kendrick

Churchwell Branch Tucker was my four-times great-grandfather.  He married Rosamond and they had ten children.  They are buried just south of Spring Place, Murray County, Georgia at the cemetery of New Prospect Church, where C. B. was an active member during his life.

This stone has deteriorated badly in the last few years.  I found a photo at Find-a-Grave from a few years ago and the stone was still upright.  When I took the adjacent photo a few months ago, the stone had broken and is now lying flat on the ground.

Fortunately, the inscription is still quite legible and reads:

C. B. Tucker
Born
Apr. 30, 1805
Died
Aug. 11, 1882

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
