The ancient Teucrians were a tribe of people that inhabited Troy and became the Trojans. King Teucer is the mythical founder of the Teucerians who lived in Teucria, now the region and area around Troy, Antonia (Turkey). There was also another Trojan named Teucer who was the half brother of Ajax, they both fought in the Trojan war.
It's interesting to note that from a linguistic standpoint Teucer is anglicized to Tucker. It's also of interest that the Trojans as well as their ancestors the Teucrians were Indo-European (R1a) and could be of Thracian descent. After the fall of Troy the people of Troy fled and there is speculation some fled to the Black Sea area, from hence it is thought this is the ancestral home of the vikings.
