4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Content Tucker was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts on 12 March 1695, the daughter of Abraham and Hannah (Mott) Tucker[1]. She was their third child of seven. The birth record for Content Tucker in the Dartmouth, Massachusetts Vital Record book says:
"[TUCKER], Content, d. Abraham [Abraham (s. Henry) and Hanna (second w.), C.R.3], Mar. 12, 1695."
Content married Benjamin Wing on 18 October 1722 in Dartmouth[2]. Benjamin Wing was the son of Matthew and Elizabeth (Mott) (Ricketson) Wing. The marriage record in the Dartmouth Vital Record book says:
"WING, Benjamin, s[on]. Matthu of D[artmouth] and Content Tucker, d[aughter]. Abraham of D[artmouth], 18th, 8 mo., 'called October," 1722, C.R.3'"
Benjamin and Content had five children born between 1724 and 1734, all born in Dartmouth and recorded in the town vital records.
Content's father, Abraham Tucker, wrote his will in November 1724, and died in March 1725. The will mentions Content twice[3]:
"... it is my will that if any of Either of my three daughters Last mentioned shall dye before before she or they come to the age as aforsaid, that then her or their Legcee or Legacies shall be paid in Equall Proportion thereof to the survivors of my Seven Daughters namely Mary Russell, Elizabeth Barker, Sarah Wing, Content Wing Joanah Tucker Ruth Tucker and Hannah Tucker or Their Legal Representatives in case any of them be dead.
"... further my will is yt after all my Debts & above mentioned Legacies Paid & Satisfied then what shall shall be Remaining of my Personall Estate both Stock & household goods & Paper money of any theire may be at my decease not herein above disposed of shall be Equally divided amonst my Seven Daughters yt is Mary Russel Elezebeth Barker Sarah Wing Content Wing Joannah Tucker Ruth Tucker & Hannah Tucker or theire Legall Representatives in case any of them be dead."
This family worshipped in the Society of Friends meeting in Dartmouth.
There is no death or burial record for Content (Tucker) Wing. She may have died soon after the birth of her last child in 1734, and definitely died before her husband married, secondly, to Rhoda Rogers in October 1739.
