Jurist; born in Port Royal, Bermuda, July 10, 1752; graduated at the College of William and Mary in 1772; studied law, but entered the public service at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, planning and assisting personally in the seizure of a large amount of stores in a fortification at Bermuda.
He commanded a regiment at the siege of Yorktown, where he was severely wounded.
After the war he became a Virginia legislator, a reviser and digester of the laws s in 1786 which led to that of 1787 that framed the national Constitution.
He was a judge in the State courts nearly fifty years, and of the court of appeals from 1803 to 1811.
In 1813 he was made a judge of the United States district court. Judge Tucker was possessed of fine literary taste and keen wit, and he was a poet of no ordinary ability.
He wrote some poetical satires under the name of Peter Pindar; also some political tracts; and in 1803 published an annotated edition of Blackstone.
