Jforetuorb

It is especially apt that the Iowa Society Sons of the
Revolution should have their headquarters upon the Father
of Waters — the good old Mississippi — and at Davenport.
Here came the first pioneers of this grand and good state,
settling a narrow strip only the equivalent of what is now
two counties in width, the whole length of the Mississippi
Valley within the state, with Dubuque at the north and
Burlington, our first capital of the state as it now stands,
in the south, with Davenport one of the oldest of these
cities midway between.
It was a far cry from the first point of entry into Amer
ica for these pioneers to come hence to this beautiful valley.
The records of the various families concerned in this
book tell us that among the earliest settlers in the Delaware
Valley was one Robert Lucas, who landed at Burlington,
N. J., on the 4th day of April, 1679. At Doylestown, Penn.,
near there this good old man lived to his allotted three
score years and ten, and his son as well.
As the Delaware Valley filled up with the many settlers
from across the ocean, the Indians confining any spreading
out toward the North, the east side of the Delaware being
already settled, the mountains lying to the west, the younger
generation, and the third generation it was then, moved
on west and south and settled in the beautiful Shenandoah
Valley at the mouth of the Rattlesnake Run in what is now
Jefferson County, West Virginia. There two generations
lived and took part in the glorious battle for American
freedom from British rule.
The Revolutionary War being over, Wm. Lucas, who
had been captain of a company of local troops, and private
in the 11th Virginia Line Regiment, great-grandson of this
original Robert, with his family of grown young men and
women, again turned their eyes toward the west and after
careful deliberation and selection, went through the Cum
berland Gap and settled near the mouth of the Sciota River
in southern Ohio.

4 S>ons( of ttie Slebolutton
One of the younger sons of this family was Robert Lucas,
one probably not intended for the life of a farmer or an
artisan of any kind, but more fitted for a life of public
utility. This Robert Lucas spent the early part of his life
in Sciota County, starting in public service as a surveyor,
then as a lieutenant of militia, passing through the various
grades of army life, until at quite an early age for so high
a rank, he reached that of Brigadier General of the first
Brigade of Ohio Militia.
His ambition had been, since early manhood, to become
an officer in the United States regular army, and at the
breaking out of the war of 1812 he saw this hope gratified
and received a commission as captain in the 19th infantry
and a few months later, the records at Washington tell us
he was given that of Lieutenant Colonel.
Robert Lucas never took advantage of this regular army
appointment, for his state needed him more than the well
filled and well trained regular army did, so he went into
that long, tedious and troublesome war as a private in one
of the Ohio companies selected from his brigade and sub
mitted to the general Government for use during the war.
It is probable that his rank was recognized by the author
ities at Washington, for history tells us that his service
throughout the war was that of an advisory officer and
scout and he never at any time was with the company that
he had organized.
The war closed and he then returned to his old rank
in command of the Militia Brigade. Service therein not
being consecutive and not requiring all of his time, we see
that he turned his attention to politics, and it was not long
until we find him a member of the Ohio Legislature and only
a little later twice Governor of that state.
We are now coming to a point in political history where
affairs in Ohio took a great turn and the party which he
had fought for so long, becoming firmly entrenched in
power. Robert Lucas' efforts were rewarded by an appoint
ment from President Van Buren as Governor of the new
Territory of Iowa and in the summer of 1838, leaving his
family on his beautiful farm near Lucasville, he passed

jforetaiorl) 5
down the Ohio and up the Mississippi and took up at Burl
ington the government of this grand and good old state.
No words of mine can add to all that has been said of
Robert Lucas, the soldier, citizen and pioneer, and who is
only brought into this story to show the trend of emmigra-
tion through and across America in the nearly 200 years
since his family and those of his contemporaries landed
in America. Governor Lucas lived alone at the capital for a short
time only and then his relatives and friends began follow
ing him into this garden spot called Iowa. His nephews and
nieces, their cousins and friends, followed him out and
settled in the vicinity of Burlington, Iowa City and Mus
catine and taking these families and those collaterally allied
with them, it is easy to be seen what a great connection he
brought with him, and intermarried among these young
people were the sons and grandsons of a large number of
Revolutionary soldiers.
Robert Lucas has, in the Iowa Society, eleven great-
grand and great-great-grand nephews and could we have
time to search out the other cousins, it is probable that the
number could be increased to twenty or more. It is for
this reason that these few remarks have been made about
our first Governor.

(general ^ocietp of tfie ^onss of ttje 3l^ebolution

IT BEING evident, from a steady decline of a proper
celebration of the National holidays of the United
States of America, that popular concern in the events
and men of the war of the Revolution is gradually declining,
and that such lack of interest is attributable, not so much
to the lapse of time and the rapidly increasing flood of
immigration from foreign countries, as to the neglect on
the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform
their duty in keeping before the public mind the memory of
the services of their ancestors and of the times in which
they lived ; therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolu
tion has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the
men who, in the military, naval, and civil service of the
Colonies and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or
counsel, achieved the independence of the country, and to
further the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the
birthday of Washington, and to prominent events connected
with the war of the Revolution; to collect and secure for
preservation the rolls, records, and other documents relat
ing to that period; to inspire the members of the Society
with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers; and to pro
mote the feeling of friendship among them.
The General Society shall be divided into State Societies,
which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in
their respective By-Laws, and oftener if found expedient;

IO £>onst of tije i^ebolutton
and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution
of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures
for carrying them into effect adopted.
The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose
a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Registrar, a
Treasurer, a Chaplain, and such other officers as may by
them respectively be deemed necessary, and a Board of
Managers, to consist of such officers, and other members, as
may be provided by their respective Constitutions and By-
Laws, all of whom shall retain their respective positions
until their successors are duly chosen.
Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annually
or oftener to the other State Societies a circular letter call
ing attention to whatever may be thought worthy of ob
servation respecting the welfare of the Society or of the
general union of the States, and giving information of the
officers chosen for the year ; and copies of these letters shall
also be transmitted to the General Secretary to be preserved
among the records of the General Society.
The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting
their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the
Society; judge of the qualification of their members, of
those proposed for membership, subject, however, to the
provisions of this Constitution ; and expel any member who,
by conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or
by any opposition to the interests of the community in
general or of the Society in particular, may render himself
unworthy to continue in membership.
In order to form funds that may be respectable, each
member shall contribute, upon his admission to the Society
and annually thereafter, such sums as the By-Laws of the
respective State Societies may require ; but any of such State
Societies may provide for the endowment of memberships
by the payment of proper sums in capitalization, which
sums shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the
income only of which shall be expended.

Conaitittttton 1 1
The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held
every three years, and special meetings may be held upon
the order of the General President or upon the request of
two of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist
of the General Officers and a representation not exceeding
five deputies from each State Society, and the necessary
expenses of such meeting shall be borne by the State So
cieties. The following amendment to the Constitution was pro
posed at the meeting of the General Society held in Denver,
Colorado, April 19, 1899, to be voted on at the next regular
meeting :
"Strike out from the seventh paragraph of the Constitu
tion of the General Society the words: 'of the General
Officers, and a representation not exceeding five deputies
from each State Society,' and insert the following: 'of two
delegates from each State Society, and one additionl dele
gate for every one hundred (100) members or major frac
tion thereof, and on all questions arising at meetings of the
General Society, each delegate there present shall be entitled
to one vote, and no vote shall be taken by States.' "
At the regular meeting a General President, General
Vice-President, General Second Vice-President, General
Secretary, Assistant General Secretary, General Treasurer,
Assistant General Treasurer, General Chaplain, General
Registrar, and General Historian shall be chosen by a major
ity of the votes present, to serve until the next regular
general meeting, or until their successors are duly chosen.
At each general meeting the circular letters which have
been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be con
sidered, and all measures taken which shall conduce to the
general welfare of the Society.
The General Society shall have power at any meeting
to admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and deter
mine all questions affecting the qualifications for member-

12 ^oni of ti)t l^bolutton
ship in or the welfare of any State Society as may by proper
memorial be presented by such State Society for considera
tion. Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, of
good character, and a descendant of one who, as a military,
naval, or marine officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, in actual
service under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies
or States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining
always loyal to such authority; or a descendant of one who
signed the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as
a member of the Continental Congress or of the Congress
of any of the Colonies or States, or as an official appointed
by or under the authority of any such legislative bodies,
actually assisted in the establishment of American Inde
pendence by services rendered during the war of the Revo
lution, becoming thereby liable to conviction of treason
against the government of Great Britain, but remaining
always loyal to the authority of the Colonies or States, shall
be eligible to membership in the Society.
The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to
the General Secretary a list of the members thereof, to
gether with the names and official designations of those
from whom such members derive claim to membership;
and thereafter, upon the admission of members in each
State Society, the Secretary thereof shall transmit to the
General Secretary information respecting such members
similar to that herein required.
The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a
badge suspended from a ribbon by a ring of gold ; the badge
shall be elliptical in form, with escaloped edges, one and
one-quarter inches in length and one and one-eighth inches
in width ; the whole surmounted by a gold eagle with wings
displayed, inverted ; on the obverse side a medallion of gold
in the centre, elliptical in form, bearing on its face the
figure of a soldier in Continental uniform, with musket
slung; beneath, the figures 1775; the medallion surrounded

obverse, and also in gold, bearing on its face the Houdon
portrait of Washington in bas-relief, encircled by the legend,
"Sons of the Revolution;" beneath, the figures 1883; and
upon the reverse of the eagle the number of the badge to be
engraved; the medallion to be surrounded by a plain gold
border, conforming in dimensions to the obverse ; the ribbon
shall be dark blue, ribbed and watered, edged with buff,
one and one-half inches wide, and one and one-half inches
in displayed length.
The insignia of the Society shall be worn by the members
on all occasions when they assemble as such for any stated
purpose or celebration, and may be worn on any occasion
of ceremony; it shall be carried conspiciously on the left
breast, but members who are or have been officers of the
Society may wear the insignia suspended from the ribbon
around the neck.

H

^onS of tijt l^ebolutton

The custodian of the insignia shall be the General Secre
tary, who shall issue them to members of the Society under
such proper rules as may be formulated by the General
Society, and he shall keep a register of such issues wherein
each insginia issued may be identified by the number thereof.

The seal of the Society shall be one and seven-eighths
inches in diameter, and shall consist of the figure of a
Minute-man in Continental uniform, standing on a ladder
leading to a belfry ; in his left hand he holds a musket and
an olive-branch, whilst his right grasps a bell-rope; above,
the cracked Liberty Bell ; issuing therefrom a ribbon bear
ing the motto of the Society, Exegi monu-mentum aere peren-
nius; across the top of the ladder on a ribbon, the figures
1776 ; and on the left of the Minute man, and also on a rib
bon, the figures 1883, the year of the formation of the So
ciety; the whole encircled by a band three-eighths of an
inch wide; thereon at the top thirteen stars of five points
each; at the bottom the name of the General Society, or
of the State Society to which the seal belongs.
On occasions other than the meetings for any stated
purpose or celebration, members may wear a rosette of the
prescribed ribbon and pattern in the upper button-hole of
the left lapel of the coat.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL

0ht
^on« of tfje jReboltttion

Written for the Iowa Society by Rev. Samuel Francis Smith, D. D.
Praise to the brave and true.
Men prompt to dare, and do.
To do, or die;
Blazoned on history's page.
Men for their stormy age.
Fearless the fight to wage;
Scorning to fly.
They, with prophetic eye. But forward, onward still.
Saw, through the lurid sky. They of the iron will
The goal they sought, — Pressed, undismayed;
A nation of the free, A nation's love they claim,
A land of liberty, Born to immortal fame.
Stretching from sea to sea. What lustre lights each name,
0 glorious thought! Never to fade.
They hailed the coming state, Hail patriots! whose brave hands
Patient to toil and — wait. Over these free, fair lands
Suffered and bled; Their flag unfurled;
Death strode o'er hill and plain, Men by all times admired,
With hunger, cold, and pain. To noble deeds inspired,
Hope rose, — to sink again. By whom "the shot" was "fired.
Till years had fled. Heard 'round the world."
O sons of noble sires.
Who amid war's dread fires
To triumph rode, —
With countless blessings fraught.
Proud of the deeds they wrought.
Cherish the land they bought, —
The gift of God. — Samuel Francis Smith.
