Nathan Lusk, Immigrant

Notes

• Will of Nathan Lusk: Augusta Co, Va Will Book No.1 Page 118, dated Sept. 14, 1748. The will names wife, Elizabeth, son John, daughter Agness, wife of Matthew Young, son James Lusk, and son James Lusk listed as Executor. Witnesses: Patrick Martin, Patrick Cook, Martha Martin. The Will proved: 16 Feb 1748 by Patrick and Martha Martin.
• The Lusk family was Scotch-Irish and apparently came to America from the Ulster Province of Ireland. There is a manuscript in the Archives of Nashville, TN that states that they arrived in Lancaster County, PA and that William Lusk, Sr. and William Lusk, Jr. were living there as early as 1730. We have the following Lusk's listed as warrantees of land in Chester County, PA: John Lusk, 200 acres, 18 September 1736; Robert Lusk, 50 acres, 20 February 1739; 211 acres, 7 February 1742 and William Lusk, 20 acres, 22 May 1745. (PA Archives Series III, Vol. 24, p.84-85)
• There seems to be no question that Nathan Lusk of Augusta County, VA was a brother of John and William Lusk of Chester County, PA.
• Also, I believe Robert Lusk of Chester County, PA was a brother of John, William and Nathan Lusk.
