The Life and Times of Ambrose Rucker
Edited by Mike Rucker

Just as Ambrose Rucker' s family has grown and evolved, so too has this article about his life. Michael P. Rucker wrote the original version and sent it to Sidney 0. Dewberry for comments. After contacting several relatives, a wealth of knowledge and interesting information about Ambrose and his family came to light. Sid worked with Jim Parsons, a professional writer, to incorporate this data into Michael's original story. Michael's edited version is what is presented here.
