Life
- 1762–1800 (this is based on the evidence below)
One source says he lived from 1762 to 1800[1], and another source verifies that he was born at this date[2], while later Latter-day Saint sources say he was born in 1726[3][4]. 1805[5] and 1820[6][7] are also sited dates of importance to him, somehow.
Works
- Lucas
- Modern sources generally say this tune is attributed to him, and not definitely his. Loads of old hymnals list him as being the composer, however, without additional notes.
- Swanwick
- It should be noted here that one source says a John Lucas wrote a tune called Swanick[8] (not Swanwick), which may or may not be the same tune.
