Terri: I just wanted to add another message to your already very high stack of papers. I also wanted to post my querie again since it's been awhile. My wife's family was from Belmont Co, OH. Her Lucas line is Sarah Ann Lucas b 31 Oct 1818 Belmont Co who m James Hughes b ca 1812/18 PA. Her parents were William Lucas b ca 1794 who m Temperance _______ . This William is number E5 on page 133 of Anabell Kemp's book. The daughter Mathilda who m John Lees listed under them is wrong. Claude Lucas who helped Kemp with the book did some research for me regarding Sarah Ann and found out her siblings and her were put up for guardionship when her father (and maybe mother) died in the Winter of 1824. Samual Lucas b 1768 (number 92 on page 131) and John Pryor, Jr (page134, 170, 171) were appointed as guardians. Sarah's siblings were Samuel b 17 Jan 1813, John Nelson b 17 Sep 1815, Elizabeth Anna b 12 Nov 1816, Mary Ellen b 27 Nov 1817, Temperance b 29 Apr 1823, and William b Aug 1824. I have not researched these people to see who they married and if they had children or not. William's lineage is John Lucas b 1760 who m Rachael Duvall, William Lucas b 1730 who m Sarah Higgins, Charles Lucas b 1692/3 who m Elizabeth Evans, and Thomas Lucas b ca 1650 first in America who m Dorothy ______ . I was told differently when I first started this adventure and for over 5 years persued the Governor Lucas line and eventually decided it wasn't my wife's line. I am interested in what line your's is. Eric A. Johnson Yorba Linda, CA varnivarni@aol.com Researching: Lucas, Hughes, Gatten, Vaughn in Belmont Co, OHIO
