Father: Jeremiah LUCEY (1800-1897)
Mother: Bridget DOYLE (1815-1885)
John moved with his parents to Indiana, then Freeport, Illinois, and then
Clinton Co., Iowa for several years. John was an adult when his parents
moved to Boone Co., but John apparently moved there with them also since
that's where John married. At some point, John and his family settled
in Crawford County, Iowa, where they resided for a long time.
John had lived in Crawford County until a few years before he died
when he moved to Nebraska with his family. The family moved to
Nebraska in 1906.
John wrote an early
history of St. Joseph's parish in De Witt. The Lucey's were members
of that parish from its very beginnings. As part of that history,
John wrote that he
``was in the first confirmation class ever in De Witt, October 1859,
the Bishop being Bishop Smith.''
