Other stones found commemorated John Mc. and Abel, infant sons of Thomas and Mary (nee Felwellan) Lucas, and their infant grand-daughter Sarah E. The gravestones had been unearthed about 5 feet below the surface during excavation for the pool in 1971. The house built nearby in 1970 was owned by Patricia Parry until 1982. In August 1989 the Hamilton Spectator Documented the discovery of a human skull just across the street by workers laying a sewer pipe. Despite Mrs Gudgeon's possession of letters from her Van Norman relatives, referring to their visit in the 1890s to the family burying ground, near a chapel or school house located at the foot of Walkers Line, where they saw the graves of Elizabeth Van Norman and the Lucas Children and youth, the regulator of Ontario Cemeteries, Clement Lefebvre, \"discounted the notion of a nearby cemetery.\" \"The discovery of one skull isn't enough to justify the expense involved in an archealogical search, Lefebvre said. 'Maybe if we found two or three bodies, maybe at that point we would go in.\"\" Mrs Parry Documented that \"the [pool] excavation didn't go that deep in the shallow end, so more bones could be under there.\" ... Also, work crews had hauled away two truck loads of fill before the Parrys noticed the headstones. McMaster University anthropologist Shelley Saunders, who examined the skull, said the evidence supported a need for a provincial policy for researching such finds. \" It's a matter of our heritage. So much information can be lost.\" Elizabeth Miner and Ephraim Van Norman (1762 - 1851) had 5 Children and youth. The eldest, Isaac (1784 - 1877), was the father of William (1807- 1850), who built \"PIne Hall\" in 1848. The Lucas infants were great grandsons and a great-great-granddaughter of Robert Land, the original settler of what was to become Barton Township and the City of Hamilton. \"Betsy\" spoke German and her family name may have been spelled Mynor, according to her great-great-great-granddaughter Vicki Gudgeon."},{"label":"Creator","value":"Mel F.
