This is an open message to those where I previously had a chain of messages ongoing earlier regarding possible connections between the (black) Lucas family from Loudoun Co., VA and the (white) families of Dodd; Heaton; and Kennan. In-between preparing a commandant from Art Thomas, (smile) on another project, I am spending time on the families named herein. As much as possible, I'll post online because of the possibility that one of you will be able to tie-in some of the information with my own discovery. However, not to take up space for others in this space, perhaps, we may have a need to communicate individually mainly because I think better with other parties are involved. Please let me know what if any would be best for you. Bye, Jane
