Hi Folks! I am looking to connect with any descendents of James and Celistia (POWERS)LUCAS who were living in Deering, Cumberland, ME during the 1880 census. James is listed with the following sons: William J., Augustus, and Charles L. There is also a woman by the name of Abbie KAIN LUCAS living with him and his family. She is listed as "other" relation to him. I don't have access to later census' at this time. He owns a brick yard at the time of the census. Is there such a thing as a business directory for this time and place? His place of birth is listed as Scotland, although I have documentation that he may have been born in Ireland. He is 42 at the time of the census. I have found one of his grandsons, James Callendar LUCAS--son of Augustus Hamil & Maggie Jane(CALLENDAR) LUCAS. He died in 1980 in Westbrook, Cumberland, ME. I am especially interested in finding more information about his son, Ira Powers Lucas, b. abt. 1874 in Deering, ME(He must have been born after the 1880 census). I have never been able to locate his birth certificate. He married Grace Mabel HALL in 1906 in Rochester, NH and had a second marriage to Rosa MARDEN. Thanks for any help!
