According to The History of Yalobusha County Mississippi, John was born on Thicketty Creek, waters of the great Broad River, in Union District, South Carolina.
John and his father, Thomas had both purchased land in Warren County Tennessee by 1812 but did not move right away. John, his wife, son, John "David", and parents migrated to Tennessee from South Carolina about 1817, just after daughter Elizabeth Ann Lusk died. In Tennessee, eight more children were born to John and Rachel.
After the birth of the 10th child, by 07 November 1835, John and Rachel had moved to Alabama, most likely Fayette County, where John's sister Betsy Lusk Steen and her husband were living, as well as David and Loucinda.
By 1840, they had moved again, this time to Choctaw County, Mississippi, where their second son TDJ Lusk and his wife Nancy Pennington were to live following their marriage in 1841.
In 1850, John and Rachel moved from Choctaw County to Lafayette County, where they lived near his sister, Betsy Lusk Steen, and her family in Paris.
