I can't solve your later problems not having followed that line but I can add some information in case you don't have it. >Descendants of Jean Lucas > > 1 Jean Lucas 1630 - >... +Elizabeth Rollaire 1635 - Those birth should be circa for her, 1631 for him - source: Palatine Families of New York, Henry Z. Jones [1985] >.... 2 Francois Lucas 1663 - b. Aug 8, 1663 Otterberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; d. after Nov 1741 Somerset, NJ >.......... +Marie Baudouin 1668 - b. March 29, 1668 Otterberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; d. c 1709-10 either in England or onboard ship crossing Atlantic. Was with him when he arrived in London from the Palatines May 3, 1709 but not when he arrived in NY in the summer of 1710 - Kittle, MacWelty [books on the Palatine with long names - let me know if you want them after the holidays] >........... 3 Frantz Jacob Lucas 1697 - baptised Dec 3, 1697 in Seckenheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; d. after Oct 25, 1752, probably in Somerset County, NJ >................. +Jannetje Aten 1704 - baptised April 18, 1704, Brooklyn, Kings County, NY >.................. 4 Aaron Lucas 1721 - married Sarah/Saertie. >......................... 5 Abraham Lucas 1735/36 - married Sarah, last name could be Robinson, Glover, Gaddis depending on who you believe >................................ 6 John Lucas 1765 - b. prior to 1765 probably in NJ, md. July 21, 1790 in Nelson County, KY >...................................... +Mary Bennett >....................................... 7 Sarah Lucas 1797 - 1876 >............................................. +Alexander Wilson 1792 - 1860 My descent is from Aaron's brother Thomas. I don't have more on Aaron's line. I have a line back beyond Elizabeth Rollaire if you are interested -- altho it is probably not a topic for this Lucas list. Merry Christmas.
