Biographical History
South Carolina family of English descent. Jonathan Lucas (1754-1821) was a millwright who emigrated from England to Charleston, South Carolina about 1790. He invented new types of rice pounding mills and water mills and installed them throughout the rice regions of South Carolina. In 1817 either he or his son, Jonathan Lucas (1775-1832), built the first steam rice mill. John Lucas (1815-1887) was an Orangeburg (S.C.) building contractor and architect. John Lucas built the Colleton County (S.C.) jail and later moved to Orangeburg to build its jail.
