[Ref, 3;248] Also on that date, it was ruled that the estate of Robert Tucke of Hampton, late deceased, who died intestate, was to remain in the hands of the widow for her use. At her death, it was to be divided equally between the three children, Robert Tuck, Elizabeth Tuck and Mary Sanbourn, and the grandchild John Tuck, the son of Edward.

John appealed. [Ref, 5;148] On 14 Oct 1673, the aged widow Tuck complained that John Sanborn, the administrator of her husband's estate, did not provide her with the necessary comforts. John was ordered to pay out some of the estate to her. [Ref, 5;240]
