Thanks Kevin for the nice mention of my book on the Tuckers.  You're 
correct that the Tucker-Coleman Papers are incredibly rich with much 
material left to be mined.  

St. George Tucker married Frances Bland Randolph in 1778.  However, 
she was born in Virginia in 1752.  Thus, Henry St. George Tucker and 
Nathaniel Beverley Tucker do not count as "Virginia-born famous men 
whose parents were not BOTH born in Virginia".
