TOMS RIVER CONNECTION?
This may or may not be a tie with Toms River and Dover Township Mark Luker. Mark came to America from England in 1685 on a ship named FALCO"N with two brothers Thomas and William. Thomas came from German, via England with his parents. He married the Chief's (Sachum) daughter, (Mary Ann) had a child named him Thomas, who married the Chief Sun Cloud's daughter (ANN) (lot of information available from Ocean Co.Historical society in NJ. Monmouth Co.Historical society in NJ on Luker's in NJ area) Other very good sources are: George McDaniel. [email protected]. Vera Goodman Luker's book (Dallas and out of print) said. "Two brothers Mark and William came to NJ from England 1685. Footnote states Mark could have been here in 1644 and settled in Shrewbury, NM; tom went to Goose Creek; William married Alice Roose."
