THOMAS LUCAS OF PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, MARYLAND AND DESCENDANTS
Thomas Lucas, planter, of Prince George Co, Md, is said to have been born in Eng about 1650 ; family tradition is that he came directly to Md from Little Saxham, Suffolk, Eng, arriving on the ship "Providence of Falmouth" in the year 1668; William Prescott, Master of that ship. Records of Md show on 16 Feb 1671, Thomas Notley, merchant of St Mary's Co, appeared in the courts of Md, with proof of the right to claim 5650 acres of land in that State (it being due him for having transported 24 persons to the Providence to inhabit) one of whom was Thomas Lucas, Sr. (Libre 11 folio 537; also Libre 16, folio 411, Land Office, Annapolis, M d). This Thomas Notley came to Md from Dorset, Eng. Thomas Lucas settled on 250 acres of land in Prince George Co, which land was a portion of the tract called "Largo" and consisted originally of 1031 acres and had been granted to Col Ninian Beall in 1685. This land was originally in Calvert Co, Md until Prince George Co was erected from part of Calvert Co in 1696 . Just whe n Thomas Lucas acquired this property has not been determined as the old Calvert Co Court House records were destroyed by fire in 1882. Beall sold 431 acres of this tract to John Dorlett ; 100 acres to Christopher Thompson and 250 acres to Daniel Daniellson, the latter one of the passengers on the "Providence of Falmouth" in 1668 with Thomas Lucas. (Ren  Rolls libre 4 , folio 323.) Christopher Thompson also took a patent on a tract of land call ed "Whitelaine " on 31 March 1685, which tract was then in Charles Co, Md, later part of Prince George Co, Md. Thos Lucas also purchased 20 acres of the tract called "Graiden" on 13 June 1704 from Philip Gittings for the sum of 20 pounds sterling, including "all of the houses, buildings, gardens and orchards." This tract of "Graiden" was granted originally to Col Henry Darnall in 1686 . In 1703 Darnall sold it to Philip Gittings and the tract then consisted of 269 acres. In 1717 Philip Gittings sold 249 acres to Francis King; the deed states "all of this tract except the 20 acres Gittings had sold to Thomas Lucas, Sr." The tract of "Graiden" is located just north of Thomas Lucas' 250 acres and adjoins the tract of "Northhampt on" on the east, which land belonged to Thomas Spriggs, Sr. (Libre EC. folio 193, P.G. Co deeds.) Wit: to the deed of "Graiden" from Gittings to Lucas were John Jackson and Chas Ridgley. Deed recorded 6 July 1704.
