Their children were John, William, Charles, Samuel and Daniel. John married Ann (no surname we've found yet). Their children were John and Jeremiah (that we know of). Jeremiah married Sarah (Sally) Willis Ingram and they moved to Union Co., SC. Their children were William, Ingram, Willis, John, Jesse, George, Peggie and Sallie (that I can substantiate, anyway). My husband Jeff's grandad, James Blount (or Blunt) is one of Jeremiah's boys' children, but I haven't been able to find the connection yet -- the family member that sent me the information didn't specify which son it was, and was not in good health at the time, as has since died. I do know William, Willis and George moved to Lawrence Co., TN in the early 1800s, and that Ingram went to KY about the same time. James Blount ended up in Dyer Co., TN in the late 1800s, where Jeff's dad is from. James B. was married to Sarah Cunningham in Lawrence Co., TN in 1863. Well, now that you know more than you ever wanted to about our branch, I will let you go...but let me say it's such a thrill to see that the research I've been doing is correct.... I like the webpage -- great graphic! Thanks much for sharing your information. Dixie Lucas

Hi Lora, Look at http://expage.com. It's so easy to use...see my website at http://expage.com/page/eakley Good luck! Barbara

After reading so many wonderful web pages that others have done, I'm interested in creating one myself. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get started. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I do have one on family tree maker but I'd like to make looking through it simpler and add a few of my own touches. Many thanks for the help. Lora

Hi all, Do visit my new Virginia Connections website. It has 24 surnames including LUCAS of Brunswick/Surry Co VA. Happy hunting... Barbara Visit my Virginia Connections website http://expage.com/page/eakley

Looking for the origin of the Gibson County, IN Lucases who came to IN before 1820. They appear to have come from VA, but uncertain as to which part. The given names of the Gibson County Lucases were Zachariah, Fielding, Francis, and Oliver. A Fielding, Zachariah, and Francis Lucas appear at the same time in the Spotsylvania County, VA census. This grouping of names seems to suggest that the two families are related. Is anyone familiar with either the Gibson County or Spotsylvania County Lucas families?? Thanks, Craig J. Woods

LUCAS, GREY, SHIELDS, CORL, ROKES --- Utica, NY, Hartleton, PA, Pettis County, MISSOURI Does anyone know of, or is anyone a descentant of, Robert Lucas who came to the United States from Ireland in 1801 to marry his cousin Mary Ann Grey. Our great Aunt wrote the following in 1905 about the family. "Robert Lucas came to America in 1801. His brother John had preceded him a few years and lived near Utica, New York. John was married to his cousin, Jane Grey and they raised a large family some of whom moved to Canada. John wrote to his brother Robert of the advantages of this country had over the north of Ireland, which was their native country. And as their uncle Robert Grey, with his family had come over in 1800 and settled in New Berlin, Pennsylvania, Robert Lucas thought he would try it too. A great inducment being his engagement to his cousin, Mary Ann Grey, whom he married some time after he arrived in this country."

Indiana some time ago. I find I have material on that family. Please get in touch. Russell Brown rusbrn@istmacon.net

page 4 . Lucas for on June 3 1673 Lucas was found guilty being drunk again, but the court released himm with a warning. on June 1 1675 the court tried a new tactic, and when Lucas was charged for being distempered with drink, the court noted, "it being soe oftens and that hee hath borne several particular punishments gradually, and can not be reclaimed, it was ordered concerning him , that all that sell drinke be strickly ordered and prohibited to lett him have none." But on Oct 30 1675 Lucas, for reviling some deceased magistraates and for being drunk, was sentenced to be whipped at the post, which was accordingly done. He died as he lived, and on Jan 6 1678/9 a couoner's jury reported that Thomas Lucas, "being very ancent and decreped in his limbs, and it being very cold, and haveing drunk some drinke, got a violent fall into a ditch , in a very dangerous place, could not reover himself, but bruised his body , and lying all night in the cold, soe hee came by his end." When he died, some of the color must have gone of of Plymouth .-- found in Book Plymouth Colony page 161 and 162 sent to me by Barbara Hoffman Dufee // carolyn _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

more of lucas page 3 On Mar 3 1663/4 Thomas Lucas was publicly whipped for being drunk a third time: Hee was senteanced formerly for being drunke the third time nevertheless the execution there of was {resouted} until hee should bee found drunke againe, which was inflicted on him as aforsail," On Mar 30 1664 he was charged with abusing his wife and Stephen Bryant and George Bonham each put up 5 for his appearance at court . on June 8 1664 Lucas was sentenced to sit in the stocks for swearing. On June 9 1665 he was sentenced to be imprisioned for twenty four hours for swearing by the wounds of God. on Oct 3 1665 Thomas Lucas was fined ten shillings for being drunk. On mar 2 1668/9 he appeared in court to answer the charge of abusing his wife and children. He promised reformation, and, his wife testifying that since his presentment he had not abused them as aforesaid, the court cleared him with an admonition. On June 7 1670 Lucas was fined three shillings four pence for striking Samuel Jenney. Again it can be seen that the court was not seeking vengeance, but the case of Thomas Lucas it finally appeared to abandon it efforts to ward deterrence, _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

thought it might be to long to send in one. page 2 John Wood and George Bonham each up up 10 to assure his appearance at the next court, but on the same day Lucas presented himself at court distempered with drink , and for his unseeming behavior both in words and gestures he was committed to prison and fined forty shillings. Though no duration of imprisment was given, it can be understood to be shorter, and probably was only a day or so. He broke his bonds for good behavior when on May 7 161 he was found with Ann Savory, wife of Thomas, at the time of public worship on the Lord's day drunk and under the hedge in an uncivil and beastly manner, and he was to appear at the next cout. On June 10 1661 his sureties lost some of their money when the court called his bond of 20 foreiit, but on further consideration remitted 10 of the same. On Mar 3 1662/63 Thomas Lucas , "it being the third time he hath ben convicted and sentanced in the Court for being drunk," was sentenced to be bublicly whipped; demonstrating rather clearly its concern for deterence, not vengeance, the court ordered the the sentence be stayed "until hee shalbee taken drunke the next time and then hee is to bee forthwith taken and whipt, without further presenting to the Court." Though the court seemed to have difficulty in keeping count it apparently was referring to the higher seriousness of be found drunkk three or more times. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Hi Alma and all. I finally found the original that Barbara Hoffman Dufer sent to me in April 1994. I am skippiong some of it. What may appear to be cruelty in punishment was actually the application of the re quirement of justice to economic feasibility. In the early yeaars there is seen the punishment of tieing one's neck and heels together, though later whipping or sitting in the stocks were more common forms of physical punshmenrt . This was more expediency than thirst for cruelty. A community living just above the subsustence level did not have surplus wealth to invest in penitentiaries for long-term prison sentences. Monetary fines were a frequent punishmen, too, but there was a limit as to how much money clould be extracted from the more havbitual offenders, such as Webb Adey or Thomas Lucas. As a case in point, Thomas Lucas was fined ten shillings on Oct 2 1658 for being drunk the second time. On Oct 6 1659 he was fined ten shillings again for being drunk. On Oct 2 1660 Lucas was fined ten shillings for being drunk twice. On Mar 5 1660/61 Thomas Lucas was found being drunk a third time, but this time he was sentenced to find sureties for his good behavior. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I am also looking for the LUCAS surname in Broome, Chemung, & Stueben counties of NY. Though my search starts somewhat later than Carolyn's. I can't help but wonder if there is something bogus about the Pension Records of my g grandfather William B. LUCAS. According to the Civil War Pension Records of William B. LUCAS; he was born in Hartford County, CN, in 1810, had been married 3 times by 1865. 1st wife is unknown, 2nd wife was given as Elizabeth born in England in 1820 (30 in 1850 Census, NY, Steuben, Painted Post, which gives 1812 as his birth date), third marriage (my g grandmother) was to Elizabeth SAWYER. the 3rd marriage record also lists 1810 as his birth date. He also can be found in the 1865 NY State Census Steuben, Campbell 2nd District. The only death record we can find is the pension record (28 Oct 1885) where his wife filed on behalf of their two children, William (Willie) LUCAS and my grandfather Francis Marion LUCAS. She had remarried by that time. He is recorded as being served with the 35th NY, May 8, 1861, - to Feb 1863, discharged in good health, with no wounds, (1865 Census, IV. Additional inquires relating to officers and enlisted men who have been in the military, page 6, line 18). Also see History of Steuben County, NY, 1879, page 215). William B. LUCAS' enlistment record shows him to be a 40 year old widower on May 8, 1861. It is generally believed that he may have lied his age to get into the fight. William (Willie) LUCAS disappears without a trace. Any help or ideas will certainly be appreciated.

I have been reading so much about the VA Lucas families, and I thought I would add my Lucas. I have no idea who Morgan's parents or siblings were, but an old story handed down through the family is that he was in some way related to Gov. Robert Lucas of Ohio. I have found no link. It is possible that he is related through the Reeds who were associated with Robert Lucas. Sarah Jane Lucas married Joseph Reed, Catherine Ann Lucas married Arthur O'Hara Reed, my husband's line, and Minerva Lucas, my grandmother, the daughter of John Edward Lucas, married Samuel Reed. This makes my husband and I double third cousins. My mother told me many years ago that the Reeds and Lucas's had intermarried for many years. The Reeds are descended from a William Reed, b. 1786, in Ireland or at sea, and Margaret Keller, b. 1805, in Ohio. I really wish someone could help on this Lucas (or Reed) family. I've been searching for years. Shirley Reed reedsa@kbhr.com or misskitt@bright.net MORGAN LUCAS was born Abt. 1811 in VA, and died June 1859 in Franklin Co., OH. He married REBECCA MCEOWEN September 28, 1832 in Franklin Co., OH by James Graham, J.P.. Children of MORGAN LUCAS and REBECCA MCEOWEN are: i. CATHERINE ANN LUCAS, b. September 05, 1834, Franklin Co., OH; d. June 29, 1903, Richwood, Union Co., OH (bur. Wesley Chapel Cem., Columbus, OH). ii. SARAH JANE LUCAS, b. Abt. 1837, Franklin Co., OH. iii. CHLOE LUCAS, b. Abt. 1842, Franklin Co., OH; d. March 31, 1877, Franklin Co., OH. iv. JOHN EDWARD LUCAS, b. August 25, 1846, Franklin Co., OH; d. September 03, 1908, Franklin Co., OH (bur. Wesley Chapel Cem., Columbus, OH). v. JONATHAN LUCAS, b. May 17, 1850, Franklin Co., OH; d. April 26, 1914, Franklin Co., OH (bur. Wesley Chapel Cem., Columbus, OH). vi. ELLEN LUCAS, b. Abt. 1857, Franklin Co., OH; m. JOHN TOY. Believed to have moved West.

Eric, Came through ok. Very interesting and I too would like to graft the Gov. onto my tree. But alas, due to some destroyed records, my tree goes back only to Ira Lucas, b1774 in ? and married Lucretia Hartwig "of Vermont" who also was born abt 1774. They moved to western NY where they raised a family of three sons and seven daughters. There was an old family story relating to Ohio. Someone (an older brother of Ira?) was captured by Indians when fairly young and subsequently taken to Ohio. After several years when trust had been earned, he one day mounted his pony and rode east, eventually finding his family again. But then maybe many families have such a "story." In any event, my thanks. Richard Cass Lucas
