Chapter XXVIII Genealogy and Biography
[A biography of Daniel Bedinger Lucas 1836-03-16]
Mr Lucas is a lineal descendant of Robert Lucas of Deverall, Lingbridge, of the county of Wilts, England, who was among the first settlers in the province of Pennsylvania. His name is found in the ancient registry of Burks county, where he arrived, as we learn from that valuable chronicle, "the fourth of fourth month 1679" in the good ship "Elizabeth and Mary" of Waymouth.
His wife, Elizabeth, and their children arrived nine months later in the sailing vessel "The Content" of London. Robert Lucas was a member of the first assembly under Penn's charter of 1682. He signed the acceptance of this great bill of rights, "at Philadelphia, the second month, 1683". He was a member of the Pennsylvania assembly of 1687 and 1688, and died during the session of the latter year. He was a considerable land-owner, his farm lying upon Falls river in Burks county, in the parish of that name. He left a son, Edward, who was a supervisor in 1730 of Falls township.
