There Was a Robert Lucas in John Lucas' Company, But Probably Not the Ohio Governor

Looking at the roster of John Lucas' 1812 company, I see there is a listing for a Robert Lucas.  Was this the future Ohio governor?

He was listed as a private, so I doubt he would have been the Robert Lucas who became Ohio governor. Since the other Robert Lucas held ranks in the militia as an officer, it is doubtful that he would be a private.   Perhaps this Robert was a son of John Lucas?
