​​Captain John Lucas, founder of Lucasville, Ohio
 
His Story is Our Story

Ohio Historical Marker inscription:
​
John Lucas (1788 - 1825), son of William and Susannah Barnes Lucas, came to present-day Scioto County from Virginia circa 1802. His brother, Robert Lucas, was a War of 1812 hero, two-term governor of
Ohio (1832-1836), and the first territorial governor of Iowa. John volunteered for service and commanded a regiment during the War of 1812. Upon the death of his father in 1814, John inherited much of his family's property in
Scioto County, and it was on a portion of this land that he would establish the town of Lucasville on August 7, 1819.
He and his wife, Mary Lucas, ran a tavern in Lucasville until his death in 1825.
He is interred in Lucasville Cemetery.

​

I am bound to them,
though I cannot look into their eyes
or hear their voices. 
I honor their history. 
I cherish their lives. 
I will tell their story. 
I will remember them.
