The 1880 census revealed his mother had married James Trice and they were still living in DeSoto County, Mississippi on the farm next to his grandfather, John Tucker. Household members: James Trice (28), Mary Trice(29), William Trice (10), David Trice (6), orphan, Jos Tucker (3) and orphan, John Tucker (1).
John David Tucker's obituary in 1958 revealed he was survived by his half brother, Joe Trice. Looking at the 1880 census there are two possibilies (1) William and John David were listed on the 1880 census as Trice which was common those days to use the step father's name until grown. Joseph and John Tucker may have been orphans which later were adopted and given the Trice name. (2) The census taker misunderstood which boys had the Tucker name.

As a child, he spent a lot of time with both of his grandfathers, John Bowen Tucker and Aaron Whittaker.
