Mr. Lucas fraces his genealogy back through seven
generations. Originally the family resided in Eng¬
land, its members being staunch adherents of the
Established Church. Atan early date, they removed
to Ireland, where the great grandfather and grand¬
father of Mr. Lucas were born, The tollowing
anecdote has been preserved relating to the great,
great, great, great grandfather :—
‘Some robbers, prowling through the neighbor¬
hood in which he resided, saw a light in his house,
only. One climbed upon the shoulders of another,
and peeped through the small opening at the top of
the shutter and found that the whole family were on

if we were all as well employed as old John Lucas, it
would be a great deal better for us.”
The robber was hanged a short time after for the
fession from the scaffold.
A branch.of the Lucas family removed to New
York State, but, at the close the Revolutionary War,
preferring British rule to Republicanism, emigrated
with other Loyalists to New Brunswick, where Mr.
Lucas’ father was born. |
