The historic marker in front of the Tuckerton Borough Hall tells about Tuckerton’s history, including that it was named for Ebenezer Tucker. [1] Tucker is believed to have been a Revolutionary War soldier who served under General Washington at the Battle of Long Island. [2]
He served as a judge in Burlington County before moving to what is now Tuckerton, N.J., where he was engaged in the shipbuilding business. He served as a Congressman almost a half century after the Revolutionary War. He served in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Congresses (March 4, 1825-March 3, 1829). [3]
Tucker died September 5, 1845, and is buried in Tuckerton’s Old Methodist Cemetery.
