"LUCE FAMILY
The biographical sketch of Henry1 Luce in Vol. II, Annals of W.T., pp. 54-6, makes no definite mention of the English origin of this family and the author regrets that the somewhat extended researches made by him since that time have not resulted in conclusively establishing the parentage of the ancestor of this pioneer. The results of these researches, however, afford much hope that the real clue to the early home of Henry Luce has been followed almost to a successful conclusion and the results will now be briefly stated: A descendant of the Long Island branch of the family through Eleazer (6) b. 1800, has left the following definite statement of family tradition regarding his ancestors:
"My great great great great grandfather Israel Luce lived and died in Wales. My great great great grandfather Henry Luce was born in about 1645 and brought up in Wales. He married Remember Munson.[Her name was Remember Litchfield. The name Munson is not known on the Vineyard and it may be the name of the wife of the traditional Israel Luce of Wales, as family loie usually mixes facts and generations.] He sailed with his wife and three children to America in 1676, and landed and settled in Martha's Vineyard, Mass. where he reared a family of seven children."
While this statement contains several errors, it gives the only definite reference to a locality from which the Luce family may have originated. There is also a tradition that the family was of French origin with the intimation that it was originally De Luce. Of this possibility there is, however, not the slightest evidence obtainable, as far as the author knows, and the Welsh origin of the family is nearer confirmation as will be explained. The name of Luce in this country is confined exclusively to the descendants of Henry Luce of Tisbury and with one exception, no other person of the name of Luce settled in New England prior to 1750. That exception exists in the person of one "Harke" Luce who was a resident of Scituate in 1643, twenty years before the appearance of our Henry Luce in the same town. This singular baptismal name of "Harke", which the author now believes to have been a copyist's error for a similar name, has proven to be a clue to an English family of the name of Luce living in the west of England in 1600 near the border of Wales. The name of "Harke" Luce appears but once in the records of Scituate in a list of those able to bear arms in 1643, and an examination of thousands of English surnames of that period in English documents fails to disclose it, or one near enough like it to be mistaken for it except Harker or Hawke. In one county of England the family name of Luce has been found, namely: Gloucestershire, which borders on Wales and whose chief city is Bristol, the great seaport from which so many emigrants sailed for their future homes in New England.* A family of Luce lived in the parish of Horton, county of Gloucester, as early as 1550 and they are found there and in a number of surrounding parishes for a century and a half afterwards. Of this Horton family one Abraham Luce married 8 Oct. 1604 Cicely Darke, and this name is believed by the author to be the name originally copied in the Scituate records as "Harke", and Darke Luce of 1643 is offered as the possible progenitor of Henry Luce of the same town 1666. If not, he was a probable near relative who influenced the migration of Henry Luce and all the surrounding circumstances make this the nearest probable origin of the Vineyard family in the matter of their English home. It should be stated, however, that Abraham and Cicely (Darke) Luce had no child named Darke and the name of Darke does not occur on the parish records of Horton. The similarity of the names, Harke and Darke, is too great to be ignored when combined with the rare name of Luce, and while researches so far made have failed to uncover a Henry Luce in the parish of Horton, the adjoining parishes still unsearched may reveal the lost record of his baptism.
Horton is but sixteen miles in a direct line from the Welsh border, and it is of general knowledge that thousands of people of Welsh origin are to be found in the parishes of Gloucestershire; thus the traditional story that Henry Luce was a son of Israel Luce "of Wales" is helped by the discoveries made by the author concerning this Gloucestershire family living so near to the Welsh border. Strengthening proof is added in the naming of Israel (4) a son of Henry (1). See remarks on the English origin of the BEVAN FAMILY in Addenda.
1. Henry Luce, b. abt. 1640; res. Scituate (1666), Rehoboth (1668), came to T., abt. 1670, where he lived until his death which occurred between May 1687 and Mch. 1689.
*The author during recent visits to England found Luce families in Cornwall, Devon and Kent, all of them having Henry as a Christian name. Scituate, Mass. was largely settled by emigrants from Kent and in the parish of Lyminge that county is recorded in 1614 the marriage of a Henry Luce. It is here noted as a reference for future investigators, but the family in Gloucestershire seems to offer the probable solution."
