Born in Germany, he was the son of an officer in the French army. In 1835 he had sailed to Tasmania after working for a time in London. He established himself as a wine merchant in Hobart. Two years later he moved to Port Phillip, establishing one of Melbourne's first stores. In February 1838 he also opened Melbourne's first bank, an agency for the Derwent Bank of Hobart. this merged with the Union Bank, of which Rucker became a Director. His enterprises seemed lucrative, and he bought land extensively. Insolvencies were embarrassingly common in Melbourne in 1842-43. But financial failure did not prevent men like Rucker, Welsh, Fawkner, Were or Patterson from starting in business once again. By the end of the decade Rucker had re-established himself as a wine and spirit dealer in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, though he was never to scale the same heights of fortune again.
