Stuckberry
This name definitely connects Delaware with Hyde County. In 1697
John Stuckbury lived in Lewes and was assigned a property there named
Robert's Choice; he served on petit and grand juries for several years,
and appeared in Sussex Co. court records re litigation. He also
appeared as witness in a marriage at the home of William Clark, first
husband of Honour, who later married Thomas Bedwell. Bedwell became
Clark's executor. In 1685 William Clark had been a witness at the
marriage of John Tuxbury to Elenor Richards.
Later in Hyde County John Stuckbury lived between John Morris
and Henry Gibbs on Lake Matamuskeet and in 1756 was conveyed 100 acres
by James Clayton on the lake below his plantation. (This John Stuckbury
was likely a descendant of the original John Stuckbury of Lewes.)
Stuckberry's name was spelled in both states in a variety of
ways: Tuxbury, Stokesbury, etc.
