Captain John Lucas: Founder of Lucasville, Ohio
From "Military History of Scioto County from 1812-1865."
"Captain Lucas returned from the war after he was released, as he and his company had been part of the forces surrendered by General Hull. there was little of his life to attract attention after his return home, having, like the rest of his command, retired to private life.
"In 1819 he laid out the town of Lucasville on a portion of his farm, and opened and kept the first tavern in that village or hamlet. he continued in the business until 1825 when death put an end to his earthly pilgrimage.
