It looks so far like Gregg's claim is that Tuck did found the first Republican organization anywhere. We don't have to accept it, but the third mention of NH in the intro may be unfair.

Inter-Library Loan will take a while; but the sources to this article say he claimed that Tuck formed a "Republican Party" in 1853. Ripon was in February 1854.

Tuck did not join the GOP in 1853--he was a Free Soil party member in 1854 according to New York Times report at the time. The Republican party did NOT run a ticket in NH in 1854 or 1855 state elections. Tuck joined the GOP in 1856. Let me know when the book arrives!

Yes, it sounds like a bit of NH nationalist nonsense - hey, that alliterates; but the nationalists are making a wider claim than the article admits. That doesn't mean it's true; in fact it makes it harder for it to be true.

Guitarist descendant
Tuck's distant descendant Hallam Tuck, is the lead guitarist in the indie band Tunnels. Their first album "Continuation of the Tomorrow Word Itself", is available on Kichwa Tembo records. Hallam also enjoys riding a ten-speed bike around Hudson, New York. —Preceding

New Hampton School vs. Hampton Academy
In the article it states that Tuck attended Hampton Academy but the link goes to the New Hampton School. I'm not convinced New Hampton School was ever called Hampton Academy. Is a citation available? I'll check alumni archives at New Hampton School.
