     Richard was named executor and an heir in the will of his father, dated 25 Mar 1861. He was to receive $6,000.22
     Richard married first Jane Eliza Hester, daughter of William O. Hester and Henrietta Rogers, on 3 Oct 1864 in Christian Co., KentuckyG.8,9,10
     Richard and his bride apparently took a bridal party to Louisville to celebrate their marriage. His sister Martha was among the members of the party.23
     He was a farmer as a young man.24,25 In 1865 and 1866 Richard and his brother Paul, with J. G. Davis, operated a business at 322 Main in Louisville, G as wholesale grocers and commission merchants under the name of Tuck, Davis & Co. Richard was in Christian Co. and Paul in Louisville. Advertisements soliciting consignments ran in a number of newspapers, including the Macon, Georgia, Weekly Telegraph in Sep and Oct 1865 and Brownlow's Knoxville Whig in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the spring of 1866.26,27,28

Falling into Bankruptcy --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     On 5 Sep 1867 Richard executed a two-part mortgage to his brother-in-law, Thomas Herbert Elliott. Richard mortgaged his interest in his father's estate in exchange for Thomas acting as security for a note for $3,094 to Mathen Downey, and he mortgaged all his property in Christian Co. as security for a note for $739 to Thomas.29
     On 26 Feb 1868 Richard filed a petition for bankruptcy in the Federal court in Louisville, KentuckyG.30 On 16 Nov 1868 W. D. Ritter, assignee under Richard's bankruptcy, transferred his interest in his father's estate to Thomas Herbert Elliott and Permelia S. Walton. No details were provided as to why the transfer was made in this fashion. For reasons not now clear, on 8 Mar 1893 Thomas paid Richard and his wife $385 for a quit claim deed to ratify this transaction.31
     Richard and Eliza appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Hopkinsville, Christian Co., KentuckyG, enumerated 18 Jun 1870, reporting real estate valued at $1,000 and personal estate of $500. Their daughter Lulie was listed as living with them, as were two Black domestic servants, Ella Boyd, age 17, and Harrison Lawton, age 12.32 In the 1880 census Richard's occupation was listed as "cooperer," the meaning of which is unknown.33

Moving to Memphis, Then Nashville --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     Richard and Eliza moved to Memphis, Tennessee, by 1891, as we find him listed in the city directory that year, residing on Poplar Blvd. They apparently lived in a number of places in the few years they lived there, including on Cox Ave., at 151 Third, and back on Poplar.37,38,39
     Richard was a clerk at Tennessee Wire and Iron works in MemphisG by 1891. By the next year he had become a collector, working for Peter F. Collier, a publisher, at 67½ Jefferson.40,41

     Richard appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee, at 316 Cedar G, enumerated Jun 1900, apparently sharing his dwelling with E. J. Wickware, a lawyer.46
     In NashvilleG he operated the National Education & Employment Bureau, at 11 Twin Building. In 1896 he was listed as the manager, and after that as the proprietor. By 1898 he had moved the business to his home, first on Cedar and about 1903 on Cherry. From about 1900 to 1902 he also operated a business under the name of R. W. Tuck & Co. from his home, but the nature of the business is unknown.47,48 He seems to have discontinued use of the name of business after 1904, but continued to operate as an employment agent out of his home, which by this time was on 5th Ave. The business seems to have not been doing well, or perhaps he was reducing his participation in a partial retirement. In 1907 his occupation was listed as "furnished rooms," and in 1908 as employment agent and boarding house.49,50
