Daniel Tucker

Captain Daniel Tucker (baptized 10 April 1575, died 10 February 1625) was an English colonial sea captain, member of the Virginia Company, member of the Somers Isles Company, treasurer of the Jamestown Colony and the notorious second Governor of Bermuda.

Tucker was cape merchant (treasurer) in Jamestown during the Starving Time, and developed habits of extreme discipline.

Tucker was not reappointed governor, but was replaced by Nathaniel Butler, a privateer. Although Tucker left the colony, the overplus land remained in the possession of his family for generations. This was the estate known as The Grove where Colonel Henry Tucker still lived during the American War of Independence.
