Note: Book- History of the Rucker Family and Their Descendants - Ephraim Rucker was born in the early 1700s or perhaps late 1690s, most likely in England; possibly in Virginia. He lived in Culpeper (later called Madison) County, Virginia.

Ephraim was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

Will of Ephraim Rucker, Madison County, Virginia, Will Book 1, Dated September 24, 1796, Proved December 28, 1797
The balance of my estate I lend to my beloved wife, Margarett Rucker, to be peaceably enjoyed by her during her natural life and after her decease . . . to be sold . . . and the money arising . . . I give to my son, Angus Rucker, one seventh part . . . also the whole tract of land whereon I live . . . to my son, Elliott Rucker . . . to my son, John Rucker . . . to my daughter, Tabitha Gaines . . . to my daughter, Mary Vawter . . . to my daughter, Tomagen Rucker, John Booten, her son, Ambrose Booten, her son, and Anna Rucker, her daughter, and Elizabeth Minor, Joseph Minor and Mary Early to be apportioned between them as follows, one third part of that seventh to my daughter, Margarett Morgan, on other third part to her son, Elliott Minor, and one other third part equally divided between her son, Joseph Minor and her daughter, Mary Early . . . appoint my sons, Angus Rucker, Elliott Rucker and John Rucker, executors . . . this 24th day of September 1796. Test: James Redish, George Allen, Joseph Bradford.
At a court held 28th December 1797 will exhibited and proved and ordered to be certified, and upon the motion of Angus Rucker and John Rucker a probate thereof granted to them. At a court held 23rd September 1802 will exhibited and fully proved and ordered to be recorded.
Know all men . . . We, Angus Rucker, John Rucker, William Blakey and Joseph Bradford . . . bound in the sum of ten thousand dollars . . . 28th December 1797. Condition of the above that Angus Rucker and John Rucker do make a true and perfect inventory. At a court held 28th December 1797 bond acknowledged and ordered to be recorded.

Note: David Vawter's wife has been a source of confusion for many years, and a lot of researchers have thought David Vawter married Mary Rucker, daughter of Ephraim Rucker. W.T. Vawter made this mistake in his Sons of American Revolution application. And they didn't know the difference.
To recap: Ephraim Rucker's daughter Mary Rucker married William Vawter. Ephraim's sister Mary Rucker married William Offill. And their daughter Mary (Offill) married David Vawter. If you read the Rucker Family Genealogy carefully, they are correct. Peter Rucker is the father of Mary Rucker Offill, and our line.

Note: Peter Rucker was issued naturalization papers in 1704, so it is estimated that he came to this country about 1690. Probably on the ship The Rising Sun. Family legend states that Peter and a few others were able to swim to shore or cling to driftwood after the ship wrecked off the Virginia coast near the mouth of the James River.

Mary Rucker's brother, Ephraim had a daughter, Mary Rucker, who married William Vawter, and the two Marys have caused a lot of confusion.
MARY OFFELL (Offill, Offil, Offal) is our line, and she married DAVID VAWTER.

"The Rucker Families" by Sudie Rucker Wood (1932) provides information about the descendants of Peter Rucker. It does not go farther back.
