To my Fellow Lucas Searchers: In searching my James William LUCAS b. 1871 on 48 acres spanning both Shelby and Franklin Counties, KY, have found deeds (6 of them) all listing primarily his mother, Elizabeth Catherine (BEAN) Lucas, and referencing her husband, called at different times first, John LUCAS, then J.M. LUCAS. I believe this to be James William LUCAS' father James Milton LUCAS. Can anyone shed any light on this difference in naming from John (listed first), then J.M. listed from thereon out? Were the names interchangable or did she marry his brother? The only way I've even come this far was by a trip from AZ to Ky. Hopefully, I can do this a little simpler from here on out. Other names referenced in these deeds include RANKIN, PEMBERTON, SACRA, BEAN, McKEE. Perhaps also NATION. If anyone sees anything familiar, let me know, please. I'll certainly help you as well if I can. Judy Nordburg hootser@Cyberhighway.net
