John Wesley Tuckness was a teamster and was delivering goods to Ft. Scott, Kansas in 1874 when he was shot by a bandit. One of the boys was with him. I don't remember which one right now, but I think it was Richard Henry. The bandit returned the wagon, John Wesley's body, and the boy back home before fleeing. John Wesley's wife, Nancy Dodd, died 02 September 1877 and the children were split up.
