Surnames: Lucas and Green Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FBB.2ACE/980.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Connie, after viewing the info you sent me, the obit for John Lucas is correct; however, the Mattie Lucas obit is not correct. She died in the early '60's and I have attempted to get a copy of her death certificate, but was sent one for another person of the same name. If she is buried in the same cemetary as 'Uncle' John Lucas, perhaps a stone marker would indicate her birthdate and year of death. Was there a 1900 US federal or state census? I think she was born in Letcher County in about 1888 and had a younger sister named or nicknamed Betty. If there is any other info that maybe useful in your research, please ask me. In your earlier reply, you indicated a book about Letcher Co that might contain useful information?
