NOTE1850
Old Dan Tucker
By H. G. T.
In a little book entitled *A Thousand Facts in the Histories of Devon and Cornwall*, p. 50., occurs the following passage: "The first governor [of Bermuda] was a Mr. Moore, who was succeeded by Captain Daniel Tucker." Does this throw any light on the popular negro song— "Out o' de way, old Dan Tucker," &c.?
