Ronald, one of my Morrison buddies has folklore in his family that his Morrison line was Tuckahoe Dutch. So I am always looking out for the use of the word. I am reading Waddell's Annals of Augusta County tonight and here is what is said on page 27:
At an early day, the people living on the east side of the Blue Ridge received the soubriquet of Tuckahoes, from a small stream of that name, it is said, while the people on the west side were denominated Cohees, from their common use of the term "Quoth he" and Quoth her" for "said he"
