Samuel Tucker (1721–1789) was an American colonial politician who served as a Freeholder in Hunterdon County, New Jersey during the colonial period, and later as President and Treasurer of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey during the American Revolutionary War.[1] During this period, the colony converted to an independent state in 1776 after the ouster of Royal Governor William Franklin and the election of the independent state's first governor, William Livingston.[1][2][3][4]
