Their American Story
Our most recent Luce ancestor, Sarah Jane, was, we believe, descended
from a New England Yankee family whose English forebears had arrived in
North America in the early years of the Puritan migration. Originally
from Gloucestershire, they settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, moving
into Vermont by 1790.
From Vermont, the Luces moved on to Livingston County in western New
York state, where Sarah Jane's father Warren S. Luce worked as a laborer
in the town of Geneseo. In the summer of 1836, he married Margaret MacGregor,
a Scots immigrant, in Geneseo. Their first child, Samuel Warren Luce,
was born in 1838 and Sarah Jane in 1842. In 1865 their mother Margaret
died and Samuel took his family west into Wisconsin bringing sisters Sarah
Jane, Cordelia J. and F. Lucina along. Their father Warren remained in
Geneseo, where he remarried, living there until his own death in 1899.
