Amy Penn Flippin Tucker

Title: Amy Penn Flippin Tucker
Description: Photograph of Amy Penn Flippen Tucker 1840-1925. Amy Penn Flippin Tucker was the matriarch of the Tucker family in Surry County, seen here in about 1880. Born in September 1840, research done by the family indicates Amy and her 6-month-old daughter Sarah were sold to someone with the surname Flippin as slaves were called by their owners' surnames. The 1860 Slave Schedule of the US Census lists Raleigh White Flippin with a female slave, aged 17, a male aged 13, and a girl 6 months. Whether he is the correct owner may never be known. There were 1,222 slaves listed in Surry County that year, down dramatically from the 1 ,867 slaves living in the county in 1850.
