After the Revolution, he lived in Bristol, Maine and died there in 1833. On June 27,1946, State Regent Barbara Weston Heywood marked the historic spot where once stood the home of Commodore Samuel Tucker in Bremer. The bronze tablet on a boulder of Maine granite was unveiled by Gail Griffin, a direct descendant of Commodore Tucker.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\nHERE STOOD THE HOME OF COMMODORE<br \/>\nSAMUEL TUCKER BORN MARBLEHEAD, 1747<br \/>\nDIED, BREMEN, 1833.
