   James Stucker, farmer, Covington, was born in Scott county, Kentucky, in
1825, and is the son of Valentine and Lydia (De Haven) Stucker, both natives of
the same county, from which place they moved to Fountain county in 1835. The
early life of James was spent mostly in his native place, as he did not come to
this county until 1845. His father, after residing in Fountain county for three
years, returned to Kentucky, where he died. His mother is still a resident of
Fountain county, and resides in Covington. Mr. Stucker, though now one among the
leading farmers of Troy township, began life for himself poor, and dependent
upon his own resources. He now has a finely improved farm of 480 acres, on which
he has erected a dwelling at a cost of $3,000, and a barn that cost $1,800. In
1845 he was married to Miss Martha Blue, who was born in Ohio in 1827, and is
the daughter of Richard Blue, who came to Fountain county about 1835. They have
a family of four children: John, Mary (now wife of S. Balden), Thomas and Lydia.
