Notes
Marriage
Jan and Theodora departed from Bremen on a ship named Bremen, arriving in New York on 7 May 1866, and settled southeast of Graafschap, MI. By 1873 their farm consisted of 140 acres worth about $1,200 (map of farm). Her brother Henry also worked on the farm.In 1880, the Tukker farm (listed under two names, Jan Tukker and Jan H. Tukker), consisted of 180 acres worth $6000 and producing $1300 of goods per year (corn, oats, wheat, potatoes, and eggs). It was populated by 5 horses, 21 cattle, 4 sheep, 4 pigs, and 100 chickens. There was also an apple orchard.
By 1895, the farm grew to 220 acres, though by 1913 it had returned to 140 acres.
The Tukkers were a well-respected Christian family in the community, and the east-west road just north of their land came to be known as "Tucker Road." When older, the couple moved in with daughter Gertie in East Saugatuck, MI, where they both died.
