John Baptiste Charles Lucas
John Baptiste Charles Lucas
(August 14, 1758 – August 17, 1842) was a French-born member of the
U.S. House of Representatives
from
Pennsylvania
. After meeting
Benjamin Franklin
, Lucas was so inspired—and so impatient with class injustices in France—that he sailed to America. Armed with a
letter of introduction
from Franklin, Lucas was made a federal
land grant
judge by
Thomas Jefferson
, then elected to the
U.S. House of Representatives
. He eventually resigned and moved to
St. Louis
, reportedly in part because he and his wife, Anne, missed French society.
