On 10/12/97 Lori Highland asked about Robert Lucas, the Ohio Governor. I was told along time ago that my wife was related to this Lucas family. Just about the time I started gathering info on him, I found info that proved my wife was related to the Lucas family that was published by Anabel Kemp back in 1964. Below are two of three items that I have on him. The third is buried somewhere in my records and I will post it when I can send a search party out to find it. The first is taken from Anabel Kemp's Lucas Family printed 1964, page 37. The paragraph is taken directly and is as follows: Edward Lucas migrated to Frederick Co, Md, where he stayed for a short time and then removed to Frederick Co, Va, where he took an active part in the Tuscarora Meeting of Friends, and was later a member of Hopewell M.M. of Friends. He had 17 children. His son Edward located near Shepherdtown, Berkeley Co, Va, and he is said to have been the ancestor of the three Lucas brothers, Samuel, Thomas, and Richard, who settled at Camp Cat Fish, just north of Gist's Point on the west side of the Monongahela River in what was then the northwest part of Augusta Co, Va. The descendants of these three brothers later located at Rice's Landing, Greene Co, Pa. (See Horn Papers.) His son William, Rev War soldier, who mar Susannah Barnes both d in Lucasville, Scioto Co, Ohio. He is the ancestor of Governor Robert Lucas who was Capt in the War of 1812 of the 19th Ohio Infantry and promoted in 1813 to Bridgadier General. He was the 9th Governor of the State of Ohio. He died in Iowa City, Iowa, Feb 7 1953. William Lucas' dau Susannah mar a Robert Buckles. She is not to be confused with Susannah Lucas dau of Thomas and Anne Keene Lucas who also mar in Berkeley Co, Va, a Robert Buckles. (Anabel did her homework!) The second item I found was a family group sheet I received from Accelerated Indexing in SLC, Utah many years ago. It was produced by Mrs. Herbert Hall, Calif, 1982 and is as follows: William Lucas Rev War b. 18 Jan 1743 Shepherdstown, Jefferson, Va (now WVa), d 2 July 1814 Lucasville, Scioto Co, Ohio m. 1767 Shepherdstown, Susannah Barnes, b 8 Oct 1745, England, d 4 May 1809 Lucasville, Ohio William's parents were Edward Lucas II and Mary Darke 12 children with at least 10 born in Shepherdstown: 1.
