On the descendant of Robert Lucas, I found some things that should be useful for anyone working out who that might be. Here is some research done by someone who was looking into this family. Apparently Robert Lucas' sons George and Napoleon were twins and were illegitimate. They don't come up on ancestry.com as Robert Lucas' children, but clearly they were as documented elsewhere. Here's the research by that person, showing who each of those children married and their children and children's spouses: http://news.rootsweb.com/th/read/LUCAS/1997-01/0853713458 https://archive.is/q0QZP

And then also I found proceedings of the Masonic Grand Lodge of San Francisco in 1897 - a William Thomas Lucas was Grand Master and there was also a Frederick William Lucas. I haven't connected them to governor robert lucas, but there's a lot of them around and procreating in the 19th century, so there could be a connection, and obviously the freemason thing makes it interesting given the subject matter. https://archive.org/stream/proceedingsofmwg1897free/proceedingsofmwg1897free_djvu.txt https://archive.is/tP6Xy

Nicely done. Check my latest posting to see the pedo connection between the guy behind the Joe Patterson account and pedo shit. Upvote for the cause if you agree.

Here's genealogy for HRC http://www.wargs.com/political/rodham.html

About a third of the way down this name appears

**2010 Pierre Lefebvre ** * Ste-Trinité, Bois-Guillaume, Rouen, Normandie [now Seine-Maritime], France, ... [between 1648 and 1652] + Laprairie, Québec, 4 April 1694 m. Laprairie, Québec, 4 Sept. 1673

Wasn't that the name of one of the Clubs in DC?

Haven't had a chance yet to cross check names from Spiky Aube list --

Also other reports on her family tree I haven't had a chance to scan as yet - from search: https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylc=X3oDMTFiN25laTRvBF9TAzIwMjM1MzgwNzUEaXRjAzEEc2VjA3NyY2hfcWEEc2xrA3NyY2h3ZWI-?p=geneology+for+hillary+rodham+clinton&fr=yfp-t&fp=1&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

ON EDIT: Other than the two Robt. Lucas sons who were illegitimate -- George and Napoleon -- there may be some other parts of the trail that are misleading. Seems there is disagreement with genealogists about her paternal grandmother reported by Hillary as Hannah Jones Rodham (Welsh) versus genealogists' claim that her paternal grandmother was Mary Bynum Jarnagin (Tennessee-Colonial ancestry)

Also may be further room for confusion as Huffington Post article below suggests that genealogists got one-quarter of HRC's family tree wrong:

One of Rodham Clinton’s grandmothers was a woman named Hannah Jones who was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania around 1882. If you’ve been doing genealogy for even a short time, you know to be cautious whenever you encounter a name like Jones, which happens to be the most common surname in Wales, the birth place of Hannah’s parents. Names like Jones, Smith, Johnson, Brown, Miller and Williams are a punch-line in the family history world — guaranteed to provoke a reaction from a seasoned audience — because we all know how much effort it can take to sift through the abundance of records featuring these names to find the ones we’re looking for.

So it’s astonishing that no one had taken the time to make sure that they had identified the correct Hannah Jones. As it happens, there were two baby girls born with this name in Scranton around the same time, and the other one left a more conspicuous paper trail. It’s not surprising that some researchers fell into the trap of picking the wrong one, but it’s mind-blowing that everyone did.

If everyone got a quarter of Hillary Clinton’s tree wrong, what about yours? Are the names adorning your family tree really your ancestors or just crowd-sourced fiction?
