Thomas is the son of Abraham and Mary (Kelsey) Lucas. He was born about 1787 in Washington county, Pennsylvania. He would move to Kentucky with his parents and siblings about 1789, and later on to Ohio. He was named after his grandfather, Thomas Lucas. On 29 June 1809, he married Sarah Hoblit in Richland township, Highland county, Ohio. He, Sally, and eight of their children, moved to Illinois.
"Thomas and Sarah owned two tracts of land in Ohio before moving to Illinois. It was probably in 1825 or 1826 that the Lucas family migrated to Illinois. One record reports that the Lucas family moved to Illinois in 1825, living two years near Athens (now Menard, then Sangamon county), thence to Fancy Creek in Sangamon county for a few months, thence to Logan county (then still Sangamon county) in 1827 or 1828. It is known that the migration had been made prior to 1830 to Logan county by all (the Lucas) except his father's son Jabez who came later.
"Thomas Lucas died in 1831, and is probably buried in an unmarked grave in Steenberger cemetery. Letters of Administration on his estate were granted to Abraham Lucas as Administrator on 15 Oct 1831 by the Sangamon County Court. The administrative bond was signed by William Copeland, Michael Mann, and John Turner. William Copeland was made guardian of the minor children. Thomas died owning two tracts of land totaling 160 acres and being located 4 miles south and 1 mile west of Mt. Pulaski.
