Dear Lucas Researchers--I'm looking for the ancestors of James Lucas, born May 21 1744, m Charity (_____), born Feb 20, 1749. They resided in Corinth VT at least from the 1780s, when land records bearing his name occur. Their children, recorded in Corinth town records but not necessarily born there, were: Sarah, b Mar 30, 1768 Jennea, b 27 Nov 1769 Betty, b Feb 3, 1772 Susanna, b May 1, 1774, d 30 Jun 1846 (m Moses Wallis) Thomas, b May 18, 1776, d May 18 1853 (m Mehitabel, had dgtr Dorothy) Benjamin, b 1779 Molly, b April 22, 1782 James Lucas m 2nd Rebecca Huckins 20 Mar 1787 and had dgtr Rebecca. He died 8 Sept 1825 in Corinth VT. Since Corinth didn't exist in 1744 when he was born (it was founded in 1764), he had to have come there from elsewhere. Anyone with a loose James, born in 1744, probably somewhere in New England? Thanks, Michele
