Lucretia (Doy) Blanck was the daughter of Dr. John Doy and Jane (Dunn) Doy. Lucretia Doy was born in England. The Doy family later emigrated to Canada, and then to Rochester, New York.
In 1854 Dr. Doy, an ardent abolitionist, was in the First Emigrant Aid Company party to arrive in Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas Territory. His family followed about three months later. Their 160-acre claim was about 3 miles northwest of the town of Lawrence.
Dr. Doy and his son, Charles participated in many of the Free-State battles in Kansas. In January 1859 he and his son were captured by pro-slavery men about 12 miles north of Lawrence, K.T. as they tried to lead thirteen freedom seekers on an Underground Railroad journey to Holton, K.T. He and his son were imprisoned in Missouri. John Doy was later rescued from jail by ten Lawrence men, "The Immortal Ten."
Lucretia married Aaron Elmer Blanck who preceded her in death. She was a resident of Battle Creek, Michigan. At the time of her death in March 1903 she had been living in a rooming house in Boston, Massachusetts while she was taking art classes in Boston.
