-- [ From: Shirley Thielbar * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Will post the lineage I am researching again. I have other information on LUCAS's which I can not connect from Schuyler Co.and McDonough Co., Illinois. Perhaps, someone reading this information will have some information to share and we both will come out with additional knowledge .. WILLIAM R. LUCAS was born about 1839 in either Franklin Co., PA or TN. I say this because I have resources that give both states and am waiting on Military papers from the National Archives. He enlisted in the Civil War August 1861 at Littleton, Schuyler Co., Ill. (Co. A, 10th MO Inf). He died 17 Sept 1897 in McDonough Co., Illinois. William R. married HARRIET WAYMACK BARBER 30 April 1865, McDonough Co. She had been previously married to Samuel Barber who died in 1861. William and Harriet are listed in the 1870 and 1880 census for McDonough Co., with children: Christine Barber Millie Barber Armenia LUCAS Mary W. LUCAS Nancy E. BARBER 1880 list children: Armina LUCAS Mary M. LUCAS Rosa B. LUCAS William A. LUCAS James L. LUCAS Prior to the 1870 Census I am unable to link anything up on William R. Lucas. Have a lot of information on Harriet Lucas. Armina J. LUCAS was born abt 1867 in Colchester, McDonough Co., Illinois . She married Truman W. Willis 3 July 1884 in McDonough Co. Mary M. LUCAS was born about 1868 in Illinois Rosa B. LUCAS was born abt 1873 in Missouri and married Walter Hornbuckle 26 May 1890 in McDonough Co. William A. LUCAS was born abt 1875 in Illinois James Luther LUCAS was born 12 Dec. 1876 in McDonough Co. and died 19, Nov. 1939 in McDonough Co. He married Cassie Lambert 17 Oct 1899 in McDonough Co. James Luther and Cassie are where I fit in as a descendant of William R. Lucas. If any of this looks or sounds familiar, please contact me. I am at a dead end until I receive William's Military records. I know there were Lucas's in Schuyler Co., as well as McDonough Co. and am hoping some of them may connect. Shirley HPHT86B@PRODIGY.COM Goes like this starting with me: Shirley Thielbar, Earl Steele, John and Ada LUCAS Steele, James and Cassie Lambert LUCAS, William and Harriet Waymack Barber LUCAS.
