Thos Lucas, Sr., and his second wife, Dorothy, and their children were members of St Barnabas Episcopal Church in Queen Ann Par, Prince George Co. This church is one of the oldest in that county and was erected in 1704 from St Paul's Church in Calvert Co. St Barnabas is located 7 miles north of Upper Marlboro on the Largo Road, then 1 1/2 miles east near Leeland.
In the last will of Thos Lucas, Sr. made in Prince George Co, Md, 8 Oct 1721, proved in that county 26 Feb. 1722 he leaves "one shilling each to the four children of his first mar out of his natural affection I do bear for them." He appoints his 2nd wife Dorothy as Executrix, she to have his dwelling plantation during her lifetime, then by reversion to his eldest son by his 2nd mar, John Lucas. "John to pay his younger brothers, James and Samuel each 500 pounds of tobacco this to go towards buying each of them land it being his desire that all of his sons shall have the benefit of their labor when they reach the age of 18 years; then when all his debts are paid the balance to be divided among all of his children of his 2nd mar."
