Hi Debby: I hope this is who I'm looking for. I have a William LUCAS who died in Hardin County, Kentucky in 1803. His first wife was my ancestor and, of course, we don't know her name. He married 2nd, a Mrs. Catherine DARLING in Jefferson County, Kentucky. He must have been born around 1750 or so because he would have been married to his first wife about 1768 or 1769 because Elizabeth was born about 1770 and her brother, Cornelius, was born 15 September 1771 and Nancy was born 1773. The other children were by his second marriage to Catherine DARLING....Abraham and John. I have seen several references to a William LUCAS in Orange County, Virginia and in old research papers, it always said William LUCAS was from Virginia. Wouldn't it be neat if we could "connect" these two guys together! What does your will say....what are the children's names? A lot of times, they used the same names over and over, as you know! My Elizabeth, daughter of William, married 1st a Lawrence JEWELL who died shortly after they were married. She married 2nd, my ancestor, James McMURTRY 8 April 1800 in Mercer County, Kentucky. Their son, William was born 20 February 1801; Nancy born 4 April 1804 and James born 21 October 1807. My ancestor, William McMURTRY married Ruth CHAMPION in Crawford County, Indiana 23 November 1826 and they eventually moved to Henderson, Knox County, Illinois where William was very active in everything....even was Lieutenant Governor under Governor French. So....what do you think? Maybe there are some others out there who can help us fill in the gaps, Debby!!!!! I sure hope so. This is getting exciting! Jan Lund
