He was Burgess of Rappahannock Co, Virginia where he settled in 1657 or 1658; was a Justice and occupied many offices of trust and distinction. He is believed to have been of the same family as Sir Thomas Lucas, Justice of Surrey and Middlesex, and a descendant of Baron Lucas of Crudwell, Eng, of the 24th Century. He is said to have been a man of wealth, for in his will he leaves family jewels of diamond rings and pearl necklaces. (See Amer of Gentle Birth by Pittman & Walker vol 1, p 68.)
