The Tuckers: Meet the descendants of America's first African family

This month marks 400 years since the first documented, enslaved Africans arrived in English North America. The weekend events kick off at the Tucker family cemetery. It’s believed to be the burial place of some of the descendants of the first enslaved Africans to come here. Jericka Duncan reports.

    I have the same sentiment. I have not been able to trace my African ancestors back that far, but I am getting close after 20+ years of research. But what gives me so much pride is knowing that I come from people who lived through some of the most horrific inhuman situations I could possibly imagine. I think that if they could see us now they would all hold their heads high. Just knowing that we have survived.

They are perfectly aware of the weight of words.

    DaGuy WhoKnowz yes, I believe this too especially seeing articles of native Americans reclaiming their ancestry as they were reclassified as "black or African slaves". Also the understanding that parts of the Grand Canyon have pyramids too, and areas that cannot be accessed by the public, which could be considered as wanting to hide the truth to suit the distorted narrative. As well as the understanding that the world was considered by some geologists to be one complete land mass called Pangea, with South America being connected to the African continent, as fossils of the same animals have apparently been found in similar areas if they were to be connected today. So interesting. Just a shame that there is so much information that is out there but people rather not do the thinking, and let the media narrative think for them.

And still now we as there descendants don’t get to be apart of the American Dream. We are just as American as anyone else.

We still own land that used to go not the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station but was stolen. But the land still is there also near BUSCH GARDENS. The family is also related to the Roberts of Norfolk that eventually helped to return Africans to Africa, to establish the country Liberia. A one reading this, you will find this information online. The church, St Johns Baptist Church in Williamsburg, Va holds our ancestors. Surnames related to the Roberts are Norcross, Hundley, Wynn, Randall. Also free people of color.

    So may feelings as I watch this. Ambivalence. Hesitance. And suprisingly, a sense of loss. Knowing this black family has tangible history and a cemetery and pictures, seeing the photos of their ancestors who walked this American soil hundreds of years ago...It makes me realize what I lost as a result of slavery. Our ability to trace our roots to the original immigrant family (in our case, forced immigration) is severely impaired as black people. I'm glad this family has this. May they continue to chronicle their history which is the beginning of our history as black Americans. It also serves as a bridge back to our African roots. Sad that we have to claim the entire continent because we don't know which country our families came from. But that's ok. My eternal home in the future is more important than my earthly roots anyway. Jesus gives me peace amongst the pain intertwined in our history and our current situation.

    What a lucky family the Tuckers are despite all the horrors of slavery, they are able to go back in time, really back in time to trace their roots of their ancestors, and one of the first slaves in America 👏, i will definitely give them a visit if i ever get a chance, 👍❤️. Pura Vida

    The first enslaved Africans arrived in North America in 1526 in South Carolina. They settled with Native Americans. The first recorded enslaved birth was recorded in St. Augustine Florida in 1606 a year before Jamestown waa even founded. Black history in the US is older than english history in the US. Always remember that. Schools in America will teach you more about european jewish holoaust, than it will teach about it's own, concerning Native Americans and Native Black Americans. This is literally why its so ridiculous when racist people say things to Native Black Americans like "go back to Africa" like really??? 99 percent of our ancestors were here before most others and our ethnicity was literally CREATED in America. This is part of the reason why its also insulting when people say dumb stuff like "we are a nation of immigrants", ummmmm no we are NOT. Native Americans, and ETHNIC African American/Native Black American/ADOS ancestors did NOT immigrate here. The only groups who's ancestors didnt come to America "seeking a better life" or looking for the "American Dream" as a matter of fact they WERE the dream to some. Love this story

The oldest African American histories are actually in FLORIDA, people tend to forget that Blacks were present during Spanish colonial times over 100yrs BEFORE Jamestown was even founded.

    To the Tucker Family of Virginia, do you have Tucker Ancestors that lived in Fulton, Missouri? (Callaway County? ) I have some written information I kept from an Estate Sale in Columbia, Mo. (Boone County) that I thought was interesting & important. Lillian Tucker was, I believe, an Aunt or Cousin of the folks who had the sale . The things I have were going to be discarded after the sale was over. I also have a picture in a glass framed broach of a man. I believe the writing on the glass said 1843. It has been erased due to the moving around of these articles through the years. Awaiting replies.

    I would like to know where they got that information from, since I am doing a family tree ; otherwise, nobody would probably know that the name Tucker existed. The earliest Tucker that I have is Deliverance Tucker (her last name) Harrington, born in 1662, died in 1782 ; in the Rhode Island area. Also, I know of a Joseph Tucker that lives near me that is White.
