About William Tucker
Captain William Tucker was an English-born colonist and mass murderer. He settled in Jamestown of the Colony of Virginia in the early 17th century. He was a military commander. In 1623, in retaliation for the Indian massacre of 1622, Tucker offered a toast during a supposed negotiation with members of the Powhatan Confederacy. The wine was mixed with a poison prepared by physician John Pott. The wine killed hundreds of Native Americans and another 50 were slain during the event. Tucker owned land with his brothers-in-law and was a member of the House of Burgesses, a commission of the peace, and was appointed to the Council.
