Chapter XXVIII Genealogy and Biography
[A biography of Daniel Bedinger Lucas 1836-03-16]
In the sanguinary annals of Indian warfare of that age, and in the still more desctructive campaigns of the old French war, in one of which Braddock fell, and in another, Washington became a prisoner, Edward Lucas and several of his brothers distinguished themselves by numerous feats of daring courage and bodily strength in hand-to-hand conflicts with the Indians. In Capt Morgan's celebrated company, which at the first drum-beat of the Revolution, marched a "bee-line to Boston", Edward Lucas was first lieutenant. ... [Edward] left a son Robert, who was born 1766 in that part of Berkeley county, Va., now forming Jefferson county, W. Va. This Robert left issue three sons, Edward, Robert, and William Lucas, the last named father of Daniel Bedinger Lucas.
