Apostrophy?

The sentence below is my example… where does the apostrophy go in the last name?

Jim Tucker’s father is here.

Does the apostrophy go here: Tucker’s

Does the apostrophy go here: Tuckers’

Since you are talking in the singular – Jim Tucker is just one guy – the apostrophe in the first example is correct. If you had said, “The Tuckers’ father is here” – indicating a family of Tuckers whose father is visiting – the second would be correct.
