As the son of a windmiller, he received only two years of schooling, then learned the miller's trade.
Later he moved to Wust and married there.
However, Johann Georg Friedrich Lucas was determined to become a teacher and requested a scholarship from the King of Prussia, which he received.
Since 1818, school inspector Wagner taught him in Altenplathow and since he was very presentable, he was soon able to take up a position in Lühe near Möckern. Then he became cantor and third school teacher in Gommern and in 1820 cantor and school teacher in Altenplathow near Magdeburg.
After the death of his first wife, he went to Genthin, where he married again. [3][4]
