Lucas died August 25, 1949 Emmanual Duggar died April 30th, 1919 MARRIAGES O.Ray Lucas was married Nov 12th, 1915 Mary Ann Hicks was married Aug 1, 1847 * *(Note MJB: This was date Mary Ann WRIGHT married Lewis F. HICKS, in Crawford Co. GA.) Note: This Bible was much worn, and was falling apart, but at some time was rebound. Records seem to have been sporadically kept, with very few marriages recorded, and these not always in their appropriate section..Newspaper obituaries have been kept between some of the family record pages, adding to the problem of yellowing and fading. We have always referred to this as the Lucas Bible, but the earliest entries were for a Wright family. These are in a different hand, and are quite faded. At present I am assuming that these were the kin of Saluda Hicks, who married James Turner Lucas. Saluda was the daughter of Lewis F. Hicks and his 2nd (or 3rd) wife Mary Ann Wright. The death of Mary Ann HICKS is recorded as Feb 20th, 1865. If this is the mother of Saluda Hicks, then she died a year before Saluda's marriage.
