History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 617. [Scott County] [Georgetown City and Precinct] GREENUP STUCKER, retired, P. O. Georgetown; was born and raised in Scott County, Ky. His father, Jacob Stucker, was a native of Pennsylvania, born Aug. 11, 1764, and died June 11, 1820. When about eighteen years old he came with his mother, two brothers and one sister to this State, which was not then clear of Indians. They were so plentiful at that time, and so vicious, that often times on his going to the spring for water they would shoot at him, sometimes shooting into the fence so near to him that the splinters struck him. He was in the fort which stood in sight of the residence of his son, our subject, on land now owned by Mr. John Osborn. He became a great Indian hunter, and was the associate of Vallandingham. He and his son James were in the war of 1812, in Colonel R. M. Johnson's regiment. He was Captain of a company and in all the campaigns. He married Miss Betsey Rogers, of this county, in about 1788; she bore him eleven children, all of whom are now deceased, except our subject. He accumulated an estate of three hundred acres and was a successful farmer. Greenup Stucker was born Sept. 30, 1808, and was raised and educated in pioneer manner. At the age of fifteen years he learned blacksmithing with his brother William. He worked as journeyman a number of years, almost abolishing the pursuit of his trade since the war. He has never married. Stucker Osborn Rogers = PA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/scott/stucker.g.txt
