I am interested in information about the family of Marsham LUCAS (9/5/1801-6/24/1898) in Warren County. I believe he was born in Kentucky, moved to Warren County in 1830, and was instrumental in laying out the town of Monmouth. I believe his wife, Cynthia Ann WHITMAN (3/2/1805-10/17/1837) died there, as did Marsham. Some of their children, including my great great grandfather, Albert Whitfield LUCAS (10/24/1827-4/6/1893), his brother, Thomas Hartzwell LUCAS, and sister, Sarah Elizabeth LUCAS (1/28/1830- 1871), crossed the plains to Polk County, Oregon, in 1852. Albert's wife, Elizabeth Frances MURPHY (10/28/1832-1914), and father-in- law John Ecles MURPHY (10/16/1806-1876), crossed the Oregon trail together. Albert and Thomas, together with several other men from Monmouth, Illinois, laid out the town of Monmouth, Oregon, in Polk County, and founded Christian College, which is today Western Oregon State College. I have a great deal of information about the families in Oregon, but would like to know more about Marsham and his wife, as well as the rest of the family that remained in Illinois. Any such information would be greatly appreciated.
