Tennessee was born around Mount Comfort, Washington County, 29 August 1856. She is the daughter of Mary Kifer. Her father and circumstances of her birth are unknown. In the census and in many trees posted online, she is listed as a daughter to Martin and Rachel Kifer, but she is actually their granddaughter. ("Tennie" is my great grandmother and this is something our family has known, so I am posting this in hopes that those "trees" can be corrected. Vicki Campbell Barge) She married Pleasant Ballard Tucker Jr., 24 October 1886 in Washington County, AR.
