Marion Francis Lukens was born in Harrison County, Ohio on December
     27, 1858. As a young man he moved to Missouri, where he was a neighbor
     of Frank and Jesse James. He always claimed the James Boys were not 
     such bad guys. Frank and Jesse sometimes stopped by his barn to feed
     and water their horses, then Frank and Jesse would go to the house
     and tell them they wanted dinner and they would leave money in the
     feed box.
        In 1883, Marion married Anna Eliza Wilson, Anna's father, Perry
     Wilson, was killed by bushwhackers in 1864 during the Civil War.

     Nashville, Kansas. They lived in a sod house. Marion and Anna's first
     child, Lucy Alice, came with them to Kansas. Twelve other children
     were born here. They were: George Washington, Lorena, Julia Ann, 
     Perry Conway, Louise, Chester Frank, Mary Elizabeth, Earl Alenander,
     Evelyn Sadie Cora, Minnie Rachel, Joe W., Marion Francis, and Glen
