I appreciate the research that has gone into "sorting" the Lucas family in
Clay county. I hope somewhere along the line, you might tie the John Lucas
family into your research.
1850 Clay county, Cass township, shows the following:
12 18 John Lucas 49 Male Carpenter North Carolina
Jane Lucas 38 Female North Carolina
William Lucas 18 Male North Carolina
Thomas Lucas 16 Male Indiana
George Lucas 14 Male Indiana
Reuben Lucas 11 Male Indiana
Lucinda Lucas 9 Female Indiana
John Lucas 3/4 Male Indiana
The 1860 Clay county, Cass Township shows Jane Lucas as head, with sons,
William, Thomas, George, Reuben, & John in the household.
Can anyone identify the father of John Lucas (b abt 1809 North Carolina) or
Jane (b. abt 1811, NC. Maiden name unknown)?

Hi Pat,
I've finally gotten the Randolph County NC Lucas families sorted out.
Is it possible that the George Washington Lucas who bought 40 acres of
land from Nathan Goodwin (Godwin) in Putnam County, IN in 1839 was NOT the
George Lucas, son of George Lucas who died in 1836?
I have determined that the George Washington Lucas who bought this land
from Nathan Goodwin (Godwin) in 1839 Putnam County, IN is the son of
William Lucas of Randolph Co., NC. This George was born 1798 and died Feb
1879. Remember he is the George who bought land in section 15 of township
12 North, range 6W according to the Clay County, IN tract records and blm
records? The reason I believe this is more plausible than the George Lucas
who died in 1836 is because this George Lucas who died in 1879 was the
FIRST COUSIN of Sarah Latham Godwin, Nathan Goodwin / Godwin's wife (or it
is possible this Nathan Goodwin / Godwin was Sarah and Nathan Godwin's
son).
So maybe I am descended from this Lucas family afterall :)
