LUCAS.
This name does not occur, so far as is known, among the first planters of any of the early towns in this state. In the list of the inhabitants of New Haven, 1643, is found the name "Mr. Lucas," and his estate is estimated at 400 pounds, and six persons in his family.
481
EARLY GOSHEN FAMILIES.
An old book used by Thomas Allen Lucas, in 1820, containing various records and accounts, contains the following entry:
" James Lucas, in 1620, was a land-holder near Manchester, Eng., and held an appointment under the government similar to our trial Justice. His son THOMAS JAMES, d. in Boston, about 1650, and one of his sons, THOMAS AUGUSTUS, d. at sea, in command of a vessel about 1665. This Capt. Lucas had a s., THOMAS, b. in Boston in 1640, who d. in Middletown in 1737, and whose s. THOMAS, Jr., b. in 1700, near Boston, d. in Middletown in 1749; and it was a s. of this last named Thomas, Jr., who was also a Thomas, Jr., that settled in Goshen in June, 1754." The two last named were land-holders at M., on west bank of the river, as appears on " Middletown Land Records, Lib., fol. 135." "35 p. of Middletown, eighth book of Records." 1735-1755.
V. THOMAS LUCAS (s. Thomas, Jr., Thomas, Thomas A., Thomas J.), b. at Middletown, probably; m. Mary Allen of Middle- town. She was sister of Deacon Thomas Allen, who, it is believed, gave the one silver cup that was in the old communion service, owned by the church in Goshen. They removed from M. to Goshen in 1754. Their children, with the exception of the youngest, were born in Middletown. They both died in Goshen. His first pur- chase of land was seventy acres, of Moses Lyman, on the north part of Beech Hill, April 2, 1754. On his removal here he brought with him his six children. also Anna Bone, as hired girl or nurse. They lived at first in an old log house that had been " palisadoed " against the Indians. The next spring they removed to a house on East Street, owned by Timothy Deming of Wethersfield. Here their youngest child was born and was carried by Anna Bone, on the Sabbath, to the meeting-house for baptism. The family resided on East Street about two years, while their house on Beech Hill was being built. They were both members of the church at Middletown, under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Russell.

LYMAN.
I. From a record made by John Eliot, called "the Apostle to the Indians," upon the records of the Roxbury Church, it appears that RICHARD LYMAN came to this country in Nov., 1631, with his wife Sarah and children, Robert, Phillis, Richard, Sarah, John. Richard L. and wife united with the Roxbury church. He removed to Hartford, Conn., in the year 1635, lost his cattle on the way, and was sick and suffered much during the winter, not being prepared for the cold weather. On the stone pillar in the burying- ground of the Center Church, Hartford, are inscribed names of the first settlers, and among them is the name of Richard L. There can be little doubt that he was one of the first members of the church under the pastorate of the Rev. Thomas Hooker.
II. JOHN LYMAN (s. of Richard), b. England, 1624. Came with his father's family, first to the Mass. Colony and thence to Hartford in 1635 or 6. Married Dorcas They had ten chil- dren: Elizabeth, Sarah, John, Moses, Dorothy, Mary, Experience, Joseph, Benjamin, and Caleb, whose births, with the exception of the eldest, are recorded at Northampton, Mass. He was the first en- sign of the Northampton militia, which office he held many years. He had command of the Northampton soldiers at the " Falls Fight " with the Indians, above Deerfield, May 19, 1676.
