Thomas Lusby, of Ireland, settled first in Illinois, and in 1800 he
moved and settled in Portage des Sioux, St. Charles County.  He was
married to Fanny Scott, and they had one child, Elliott, who was the
first white child born in Portage des Sioux.  Elliott married Avis
Lewis, of Kentucky, and the names of their children were: Julia A.,
William W., Sarah, Margaret, Thomas, Louisa, Mary, Ellen, Samuel,
Fanny and Joseph, and in addition to these there were three who died
in infancy.  When Mr. Lusby was married he borrowed a dollar to pay
the parson; and, having no horse, he raised his first crop of corn 
with an ox.
