Although Edward Tuck was born in Exeter, his immigrant ancestor, Robert Tuck, the first of the family in this country, was one of the original grantees and settlers in Hampton. Robert Tuck's grant was on Rand's Hill (where the Gen. Moulton House is), and there he conducted the first ordinary in the town. An "ordinary" was an inn for the convenience and refreshment of travelers. The country permitted him to sell "wine and strong water" until his death in 1664. Robert Tuck was the third town clerk and served several terms as selectman of Hampton.
