H. M. RUCKER, banker; P. O. Paris.  This gentleman was born in 1820, in
Scott County, Ky., son of Lewis D. and Margaret (Goddard) Rucker, both
natives of Kentucky.  The grandsire on his father's side, came from
Virginia, locating in what is now Woodford County, about the year 1775.
The Goddard family are among the early settlers in Kentucky.  Michael
Goddard, the maternal grandsire of Mr. Rucker, was born in the State
as early as 1782, and was from that time forward identified with the
interests of this State; Lewis D. Rucker removed to Scott County shortly
after his return from the war of 1812, remaining there until his death,
which occurred in 1867.  His wife preceded him in 1836; but three
children were born them, who came to maturity: H. M., Margaret, and
Catharine, who married William J. Rusk, and settled in Louisiana.  The
subject of these lines was early in life placed upon his own resources;
while a lad of thirteen he began making provision for himself.  By
economy and perseverance he saved enough means to enable him to enter
Georgetown College, graduating there ere he became of age.  Soon after
his graduation, he taught four years as Professor of Mathematics, at
Bowling Green, this State, after which he returned Georgetown, where he
subsequently engaged in teaching and merchandising, making this his
home until he came to Paris, in July, 1854, when he entered the Deposit
Bank of Paris as clerk, in which capacity her served until 1857; since
has been cashier of the same.  He has been successful in his business
relations, having secured a competency for himself and family, and withal
has been liberal in hi contributions to all benevolent enterprises.  Since
twelve years of age he has been a member of the M.E. Church, of which his
father was for many years identified.  In 1849 Mr. Rucker was married to
Frances S. Scott, of Jessamine County, daughter of Thomas B. and Frances
(Sappington) Scott.  Mr. Scott's father was a surgeon in the war of the
Revolution.  Thomas Scott's mother's maiden name was Durbin, prior to her
marriage.  Mr. Rucker has two sons, Henry and William.  The former resides
in Coffey County, Kan., attorney-at-law; William is at home with his
parents.
