Searching for Richard Tuckwells in or near the Gloucestershire area brought up the Richard in Sapperton and one in Faringdon with dates possible. As you say the Richard in Sapperton also was buried there, so that only leaves the one in Faringdon that could be RT of the NSW Rangers.
This puts his birthdate at Abt. 7 Mar 1760 in Faringdon

On a recent visit to the Australian Royalty web site, I noticed your Editors note and the message from Tony Preston (19 October 2016) in respect of Richard Tuckwell and details of his birth and parents.
Date of Birth – 1750 – The Gravestone Inscription showing his age 69 years – I am sure that this a transcription error when creating the headstone relocated to the Pioneers Cemetery at Bunnerong. I have a copy of an entry in the Register of Burials kept at the Registrar Generals Office issued on 22 February 1938 which clearly shows Richard’s age was 59 at his death on 24 March 1820. If his birth occurred prior to 24 March, his year of birth would be 1761 and if birth occurred after 24 March then his year of birth is 1760. Either way, it becomes questionable whether this Richard is the Richard referred to in the transcript of the Register Book of Eastleach Turville showing that “Richard, son of William and Mary Tuckwell was baptised 25 June 1959”. I have a copy of this document from Gloucestershire Archives.
In relation to the Richard Tuckwell who died 27 May 1801, aged 41 years – his date of birth would need to be between 28 May 1759 and 25 June 1759 to exactly match the entry in the Register Book above.

On 24 April 1782, Richard was appointed an ensign in the Buckinghamshire Regiment of Militia, also known as the 2nd Regiment of Militia, which was commanded by Colonel Earl Temple. The regiment was made up of several companies and Richard Tuckwell was appointed to the Company commanded by Major Henry Tompkins. The Buckinghamshire Militia was located, when Richard joined it, near Portsmouth at the South Sea Camp.
On 20 May 1789, Sir George Yonge, Under-Secretary to the War Office, outlined in a letter to the Treasury, a plan to relieve the garrison of royal marine light infantry, which had accompanied Governor Arthur Phillip to Botany Bay in 1788, and replace it with a corps of foot. The following warrant for raising the New South Wales Corps was duly issued:
WARRANT FOR RAISING NEW SOUTH WALES CORPS
George R.
Whereas we have thought proper to direct that a corps of foot shall be forthwith raised, which is intended to be stationed in New South Wales, to consist of four companies, with three serjeants, three corporals, two drummers, and sixty-seven private men in each, with the usual commanding officers. These are to authorise you, by beat of drum or otherwise, to raise so many men in any country or part of our Kingdom of Great Britain as shall be wanted to complete the said corps to the above-mentioned numbers.
Given, &c., 5th June 1789, in twenty-ninth year of our reign.
By his Majesty's command,
Geo. Yonge
To our trusty and well-beloved Francis Grose, Esq. Major-
Commandant of a corps of foot to be herewith raised.
Richard is shown in the 'Muster Roll of His Majesty's New South Wales Corps of Foot' for 203 days from 5th June to 24 Dec 1789 inclusive as having been recruited as a sergeant in the Corps on 20 June 1789 by Captain Nicholas Nepean. The muster was certified correct on 26 January 1790, at Chatham Barracks, where Major Grose and his Company, but not the rest of the Corps were then located. This same Muster Roll lists Richard as embarking on 26 January 1789, for where is not stated.
In the 'Account of Subsistence' of the New South Wales Corps from 5th June to 24th Dec 1789 and of 'Levy Money for Recruits' raised during the same Period, Sergeant Richard Tuckwell is shown for the 188 days from 20 Jun to 24 Dec 1789, as being paid £9-8-0. Richard was thus paid one shilling per day, the normal rate for sergeants in the Corps, and thus had an annual salary of £16-5-0.

On 27 November 1790 a marriage licence was granted by the office of the Bishop of Winchester for Richard, who was listed as a bachelor and "of the New South Wales Rangers, quarter-master and sergeant, and of H.M.S Gorgon", to marry Elizabeth Wareham, a spinster of Alverstoke. On 28 November 1790, in the Church of England of St Mary, Portsea, a suburb of Portsmouth, Richard duly married Elizabeth. The marriage register reads:
No. 347} Richard Tuckwell residing on board his majesty's Ship the Gorgon in an extraparochial place adjoining to this parish, Bachelor and Elizabeth Wareham of the Parish of Alvestoke in the County of Southampton, Spinster ~ were Married in this Church by Licence
this 28th Day of November in the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and ninety

Richard travelled to the colony aboard the ship Pitt. Aside from Richard, the Pitt also bore Elizabeth Buckner (nee Budden) and her husband Reuben Buckner. Elizabeth was free, but Reuben Buckner was a convict. He had been convicted at the Quarter Sessions for the County of Sussex, held at Lewes on 5 May 1791, and sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for a period of seven years.
At the time of the Pitt's sailing, Elizabeth Buckner was about sixteen years of age; Richard Tuckwell was about thirty.
The 'Pitt' had been built in the Thames in 1780. She was a ship of 775 tons and when Richard Tuckwell embarked on her on 17 July 1791, her master was Edward Manning and her surgeon a man by the name of Jameson.
The Pitt sailed from Yarmouth Roads on 17 July 1791. The Pitt's passage was protracted, she did not reach Port Jackson until 14 February 1792, 212 days out from Yarmouth Roads. Since Richard was at sea, he would not have been unaware that his wife had a daughter Elizabeth christened on 14 October 1791 at the Church of England of Holy Trinity, Gosport, just west of Portsmouth.
The journal of George Thompson, who sailed in the Royal Admiral, May 1792 records that of the 450 that came from England in the Pitt only twenty nine were alive six weeks since at a general muster.
Reuben Buckner does not appear in the Return of those Convicts who have died or run from the 'Pitt', but this Return lists only those who either escaped or died whilst attempting to escape. No mention of Reuben Buckner in New South Wales appears on musters or other documents and one can assume, because of the high death toll amongst convicts on the Pitt that Reuben Buckner died, probably soon after landing in 1792.

This was a common law partnership. Richard was still married to Elizabeth Wareham, who remained in England when Richard sailed for the colony aboard the ship 'Pitt'. A son was born to Richard and Elizabeth Budden on 19 Apr 1793, so they must have formed a relationship either on the ship 'Pitt' en route to the colony or shortly after the ship arrived in the colony on 14 Feb 1792. Elizabeth Budden's husband Reuben, died on the voyage or shortly thereafter.

Richard was granted, by Lieutenant Governor Francis Grose, 25 acres in the District of Concord on 24 December 1793. The annual quit rent was 1 shilling and was to commence five years after the date of the grant. The name of Richard's property was Grantham Farm. It was bounded on the east and west by roads, to the north was Richard Hudson's Langstaff Farm and to the south William Day's Whilkes Farm. The grant of Grantham Farm was later cancelled for unspecified reasons and an "equivalent" given by Governor King. This cancellation must have occurred after 28 September 1800 the day King officially assumed the governorship of the Colony and probably did no more than recognise the fact that Richard Tuckwell had by September 1800 moved to the .
Interestingly, Lieutenant Governor Grose, in reporting on the land grants he had made to the Right Honourable Henry Dundas in a communication dated at Sydney on 30 April 1794, records that Richard Tuckwell was the "Quarter-master-serjeant" of the N.S.W. Corps. When Richard had moved from Sergeant to Quarter-master-sergeant is not known, but doubtless he appreciated the extra sixpence per day in pay.

Annual quit rent 1 shilling commencing 24 Dec 1798

Being bounded on the north side by Langstaff farm, and on the east and west sides by a road of one hundred feet in width.
Cancelled and an equivalent given by Governor King.

The Muster Rolls of His Majesty's N.S.W. Corps of Foot note that Richard was discharged from the Corps on 23 April 1794.

Richard was listed as having settled on land on 24 Dec 1793 at Mulgrave Place on the . He had 30 hogs and 46 acres sown with wheat. All members of the household (Richard, one woman and three children) were off stores, ie, not being victuallised by government.

The 'List of Settlers from Discharged Marines, Soldiers of the New South Wales Corps and from His Majesty's Vessels serving on his Station, with the Quantity of Ground Cropped, Stock &c, 1801', showed Richard holding 100 acres, 50 of which were cleared and 24 and a half of which were sown with wheat and maize. Richard had 10 goats and 36 hogs and his household consisted of 7 persons and was off stores.
Hugh Mulhall, a convict who had come on the ship 'Britannia' and George Deadman who had come on the ship 'Hillsborough' and Griffith Griffiths, who had also arrived on the ship 'Hillsborough' were listed as being off stores because they were with 'Sgt Tuckwell' in the district. Presumably they were convicts assigned to him.

The survey of Land & Stock held by Free Settlers, and Emancipated or Expired Convicts in 1802 showed Richard as having 30 acres of purchased land at Mulgrave Place, 26 acres of which were clearede, 18 acres sown with wheat and 7 acres with maize. Richard had 4 male and 3 female goats, 6 male and 8 female hogs, and 18 bushels of wheat and 50 acres of maize in hand. Richard's entire household consisting of himself, one woman and four children and one free servant were all off stores.

The muster of 1806 showed Richard as possessing 30 acres by purchase at Giles, Lower Creek. 6 acres were sown with wheat, 2 acres with barley, half an acre was devoted to an orchard/garden, 5 and a half acres were pasture and 16 were lying fallow. Richard had 7 male and 17 female sheep, 2 female hogs, 18 female and 5 male goats and was holding 2 bushels of wheat in hand. All of his household including himself, one woman, 6 children and one convict, were off stores. The convict was Patrick Quirk, who had arrived on the 'Atlas' from Ireland in Oct 1802 and had been assigned to Richard.
Samuel Marsden prepared a list of women in the colony based on the 1806 muster. The list categorised women as either married or as a 'concubine'. He listed Elizabeth Buckner as a concubine, and noted that she had 6 'natural', ie illegitimate children, three of either sex.

The Court of Civil Jurisdiction on 14 Feb 1806 heard the case 'Marsden v Mason'. The Rev Samuel Marsden, a not infrequent litigant, was suing Martin Mason for defamation. Marsden claimed that Mason by his public utterances 'wished to poison the public mind' against him as a Magistrate and had frequently been heard to 'traduce' [slander] both his public and private character.
Martin Mason presented to the court a list of witnesses he wished to call. On the list was the name of William Tuckwell, Richard Tuckwell and Elizabeth Buckner's son. The court decided that Mason merely wishes to protract the court of justice as the list of witnesses was long and some on it were 'H.M. Service at the out settlements'. The court ruled that Mason should confine himself to witnesses who were within reach of the Plaintiff, Marsden to summon.
The case was eventually awarded in favour of Marsden. William Tuckwell was never called to testify.

Richard was a signatory to a letter in the handwriting of John Macarthur, calling for the arrest of Governor Bligh. On 26 Jan 1808, Bligh was arrested. A letter was written to Governor Bligh by George Johnson and co-signed by 83 officers, including Richard Tuckwell, dated 27 Jan 1808.

The 'Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser' of 29 May 1808 carried the following advertisement:
'To be Sold by Private Contract, a part of a Lease-hold Allotment of Ground, 40 feet in front and 120 feet in depth, very eligible situate at Pitt's Row, between the residence of Captain Bunker and the House of R Tuckwell; of whom particulars may be had.'

The marriage was witnessed by Henry and Charlotte Lane and Edward Abbott JP performed the ceremony. Richard signed his name to the parish register and Elizabeth made her X mark.
Richard and Elizabeth re-married on 2 Feb 1810. This second marriage was required because all marriages which had taken place during the period of the Rum Rebellion was deemed void. The pages of the register of St Philips at Sydney for the period of the rebellion were heavily scored and the word 'illegal' sometimes more than once, has been written across each of them, in what judging by the handwriting was written in haste.
At his second marriage to Elizabeth, Richard was described as a butcher of Sydney and a widower. Elizabeth was recorded as a widow of Sydney. The marriage was by licence and the ceremony was performed by the Reverend Mr William Cowper, assistant Chaplain. Witnesses were R.J. Robinson, Ann Robinson and Thomas Taber, the parish clerk.

On 4 Jun 1809, 'Mr Tuckwell' appeared on a list of subscribers in the Sydney Gazette to fund the enclosing of the burial ground at Sydney. He donated one guinea. The same paper carried news of the flooding of the River. It reported that 'from the Green Hills over the South Creek as far as Tuckwell's Lagoon near the Red House was a sheet of water'. Tuckwell's Lagoon was probably near the site of his farm, hence the name. The Red House was located on Mangrove Creek.
Windsor was originally called 'Green Hills' and was originally settled in 1794 when 22 settlers took up land and a road from Sydney was constructed.
ON 28 Dec 1809 Richard was granted 100 acres at St. George. It was between today's Penshurst Road and King Georges Road. At the time of the grant, the area would have been covered with very thick mainly ironbark forest. The following day he was granted a lease on 65 roods in Pitt Row, in Sydney Town by Governor William Paterson. The annual quit rent was 10 shillings per year for 21 years commencing immediately.
All grant during the Rum Rebellion were declared invalid on 29 Jan 1810. Richard applied to Lachlan Macquarie for a regrating of his land on the same day:
'May it please Your Excellency
The petition of Richard Tuckwell most humbly sheweth
That Your Petitioner had His Grant of One Hundred Acres of Land given him by His Honour Lieut Governor Paterson, as well as a Lease of the allotment of Ground in Pitt-Row, Greater Sydney, Petitioners present residence. That Petitioner has every reason to believe the goodness and condescension of His Honour Lieut Governor Paterson in doing so arose solely from the consideration of Petitioners having been so long (near eighteen years) resident in the Country, having a large family (six children) to provide [for] and ever supporting a fair character.
That Petitioner understanding that said Grant and Lease are illegal, have, in Obedience to Your Excellencys commands, delivered the Deeds of both Grant and Lease in to the Secretary.
That Petitioner follows the occupation of a Butcher, in which, and by honest Indsutry he is endeavouring to bring up his family in Virtuous pursuits.
Petitioner therefore under the Cheering hope and persuasion that Your Excellency is Benevolently disposed to Encourage the honest and Industrious of large family, most humbly presumes to solicit Your Excellencys condescension to a renewal of said Grant and Lease and Your Petitioner - will as in duly bound.
Ever pray
Richd Tuckwell
Sydney 29 January 1810'

On 16 Mar 1811 (and repeated on 23 Mar and 30 Mar 1811) the Sydney Gazette carried the following:
'All persons having any just Claim or Demand on Richard Tuckwell, of Pitt street, are requested to present the same immediately for liquidation; and all those indebted to the said Richard Tuckwell are in like manner requested to settle their Accounts, as he intends to shortly leave the Colony. And whereas Elizabeth Tuckwell, the wife of Richard Tuckwell, has absconded from her Husband, Family and Home, without just provocation or cause whatever, he hereby requests that no Person whatsoever will give her Credit on his Account, as he will not be aNew South Waleserable for any debts she may contract after the date hereof.'
The Gazette of 23 March 1811 announced:
'To be Sold by Private Auction, that desirable Situation, the property and present Residence of Mr Richard Tuckwell, No. 106 Pitt-street, Greater Sydney, who is about to quit the Colony, comprising a good House, detached kitchen, yard, garden, well and other conveniences, well adapted for Business, and too well known to require further elongation, held under Lease near 8 years of which are unexpired. For particulars apply to the Proprietor on the Premises.'
The numbering system in Pitt Street has changed. In 1811, 106 Pitt Street lay on the wast side of Pitt Street between Liverpool and Bathurst Streets, on a site later occupied by the Ebenezer Chapel of the Australian Methodists.
Richard never sold his leasehold. He was at 106 Pitt Street in 1813.

"And whereas Elizabeth Tuckwell, the wife of Richard Tuckwell, has absconded from her Husband, Family, and Home, without just provocation or cause whatever, he hereby requests that no Person whatsoever will give her Credit on his Account, as he will not be answerable for any Debts she may contract after the date hereof."

Governor Macquarie heeded Richard's request for a renewal of his grant and lease. A grant of 100 acres at Botany Bay, ante-dated, like many other grants to 1 Jan 1810, the day that Governor Macquarie assumed the Governorship of the colony, was given to Richard on 18 Oct 1811.
The annual quit rent was 2 shillings and was to commence on 1 Jan 1815. To the south of Richard's grant lay the property of Dr Robert Townson, MD (Gottingen), LLD (Edinburgh) and to the west the farms of John Burgin and Richard Podmore (both in the New South Wales Corps before being granted land). The grant to Richard was conditioned upon Richard not selling it within 5 years. Richard was also required to cultivate 15 acres and reserve the use of a public road as well as 'all timber as may be deemed for for Naval purposes.'
Richard's lease of 65 roods in Pitt Street was also ante-dated to 1 Jan 1810. The lease was expected to run for 21 years and the annual quit-rent of 17 shillings and sixpence was to commence immediately. Richard's leasehold was bounded on the north by Captain Bunker's lease, to the east by Roberts leasehold and on the west by Pitt Street. The lease was conditioned upon the building of a 'dwelling house' 36 feet in length and 14 feet in width. The Government reserved the right of 'Improving the Street' with such part of the land as it may require.

On 7 Aug 1813, Richard's name appeared on a list, published by Governor Macquarie of 86 people who had licences for the 'sale of wines and spirituous liquors by retail' for the present year.
Richard also advertised on 12 Jun 1813 in the Sydney Gazette for a 'baker who understands his Business' for immediate employment.

The Sydney Gazette on 4 Jul 1818 carried a list of those holding spirit and beer licences for the year ending 21 Feb 1819. William's name is recorded in this list, the keeper of the 'Sailor's Return' in Essex-lane, Sydney.

The St Philips register records Richard as having died Friday 24 Mar 1820. His death was probably wrongly notified in the Sydney Gazette of 25 March 1820 as taking place on Thursday 23 Mar.

"On Thursday evening died at his house in Pitt street Mr. Richard Tuckwell..."

Died 21 Mar 1820 [see burial below]

The unseemly haste in probating Richard Tuckwell’s will before Richard had been buried, probably was connected with the less than favourable behest his widow received and the dispute that ensued.
The following appeared in the Sydney Gazette of 8 April 1820:
Notice. – The undersigned having been appointed Executors to the late Richard Tuckwell, of Pitt-street, Greater Sydney, request that all Claims against the Deceased may be forthwith presented to Mr R. Jenkins, of George-street, Greater Sydney, and all those indebted are requested to settle their Accounts without delay.

Also, a good HOUSE in Pitt-street, adjoining the Premises of Captain Brooks, the late Mr Tuckwell’s -

Undaunted, Elizabeth Tuckwell nėe Sidebotham placed the following in the Sydney Gazette of 6 May 1820:
ELIZABETH TUCKWELL, widow of the late Mr Richard Tuckwell, Butcher, begs Leave to acquaint her Friends and the Public in general, that the Business is still carried out by her at the Residence of her late Husband, No, 106 Pitt-street, where she hopes to meet with a Continuance of favours.
In the Sydney Gazette dated 30 September 1820, an advertisement for the Pitt Street property placed by one of the Executors, Simon Lord:
On the premises, on Monday the 6th October next, by Order of the Executors (if not previously disposed of by Private Contract),
All that valuable HOUSE and PREMISES, No. 106, Pitt-street, Greater Sydney, late the Residence of Mr Richard Tuckwell, deceased.

The Premises are well worthy the Attention of any Person desirous to pursue the Slaughtering Business, having been well established in that Line many Years past, and possess every possible Convenience.
Elizabeth Tuckwell nėe Sidebotham failed in her bid to continue the business and the 1820 Muster shows her as being “In the Colony” at the “Govt Factory”.

The parish register of St Philips Sydney records that Richard was interred on Sunday 26 Mar 1820. A day before, on 25 March 1820, Richard’s will was probated. The nett value of his estate was £1000-0-0. His remains were laid to rest in the Church of England Portion of the Devonshire Street Cemetery.
Richard is also recorded as having died 21 March 1820 aged 69 years on his gravestone. (Also interred at the same site was Martha Mary Weavers who died 13 Jan 1829 aged 5 years.)
Their remains were exhumed in 1901 to make way for Central Railway Station. Their remains are now at Pioneer Memorial Park, part of Botany Cemetery.

Mr Richard TUCKWELL died 21st March 1820 aged 69 years
also Martha Mary WEAVERS died 13th January 1829 aged 5 years
