I still do not know what the relationship might have been between John Lucas and this Robert Lucas. But I did come across the name of a Col. Robert Lucas buried in the Lucas Family Cemetery at Elmwood Estate in Sheperdstown, West Virginia.
He was the brother of Mary Lucas Lucas, wife of John Lucas. Birth date was listed as 1795 and death in 1880. This would have put him at age 17 during the War of 1812. It is possible that he went to Scioto County along with his sister and was a part of his brother-in-law's company (which also might have given him the title of "Colonel" as he is listed as at the cemetery.
He never married.
