CAPTAIN JOHN LUSK MDX ENGLAND / HOBART TAS/JERSEY
A Jane Elizabeth LUSK was my husband's Great Great Great GrandMother b:in London on 30th September 1803,and was the daughter of John LUSK and Jane JARRETT. She was married to a Richard Fleming HILLAS (son of Fleming HILLAS and Mary DAMES of Whitechapel MDX).

I have been able to trace many of his voyages to Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) from England, which were in the early 1800's.
