I believe several people (including myself) have been looking for mentions of Lucas in Giles Co. in Mrs. Kemp's book. I have yet to find a copy to look for myself but would like to share with you a short paragraph from The Lucas Family Genealogy by F.F. Lucas in 1973 concerning Mrs. Kemp's book. "What started out to be a complete history of the Lucas family was greatly shortened and simplified by the discovery that Mrs. Annabelle Kemp of Hollywood California had in 1964 compiled and published a book entitled "Lucas Genealogy". We found however that she had omitted from her book coverage of the many members of the Lucas family who lived along New River in Virginia. Mainly in what is now Giles County. We found that Mrs. Kemp spent several months in this area doing research work on the Lucas family. But were unable to locate her notes. Mrs. Kemp died in Hollywood California December 27, 1968". That paragraph suggests that the Lucas of Giles may be connected to the Lucas in her book but for an unknown reason was left out. Perhaps her notes were lost or the book was getting to big. Who knows. The other book I mentioned above is my family and begins with Madison Haines Lucas who was the son of Susanna Lucas. He moved his family to Hamlin, Lincoln Co., WV in 1870. If anyone would like information on that family, I'll be happy to share. Happy hunting. Lora
