John Lucas (1755-1830) was a Patriot of the American Revolution. He faced the opposition of the Tories when he applied for a land grant in 1778 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He assumed great risk from the Tories when he voted in the 1779 Dobbs County election. The above certificate indicates the first recognition of the acts of patriotism by John Lucas by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
