About John Lusk

He built flat boats and floated his produce to market in New Orleans. He also was a breeder of race horses and other fine stock; and he was very wealthy. In 1849, he sold his lands and came with his sons except Robert to South Missouri." (Letter from Tom Lusk to Cal Lusk, ca. 1940's)
