• Notes

  They lived at Vernon Co., MO., where Lucas was the Justice of the Peace. On Feb. 2, 1864 Lucas was out in the field with a yoke of oxen dragging down weeds with a heavy log. Three of his small sons were up on a bluff watching and saw several bushwhackers coming. They ran to tell their father but he did not think they would bother a peaceful old man so he did not try to escape from them. One of them asked him where he was from and when he answered Missouri they shot him. They rode off and when they turned around at his cry for a drink of water, returned and stabbed him to death. The next year Goolie returned to Clarksville, Ark., with her 4 sons, one dying on the way, all born at Springfield, MO Ancestry.com post Apr 23, 2022 by Bill_Felkins https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/collection/1030/tree/32381514/person/18312124260/media/a2f7d278-0cdc-430c-8a38-46ee3cde9a85?queryId=45b7b99b-3547-4f40-80fe-428fc374c828&_phsrc=Sml7&_phstart=successSource
