Notes
for THOMAS
LUCKETT:
Thomas Luckett maintained his seat in Upper Port Tobacco Hundred, where he
was a tax payer in 1783, with the following tracts--"Quick Dispatch"
of 15 acres with one good dwelling; "Semmes' Support" of 40 acres;
"No Dispute" of 48 acres with one good dwelling; and "Luckett's
Outlet" of 24 acres. These tracts were acquired during the Revolutionary
War, inasmuch as up to the year 1774 Thomas Luckett paid no quit rents to the
Lord Proprietor. On
May 16, 1770, Thomas Luckett and Benjamin Jameson were sureties for Elizabeth
Kerrick, of Charles County, the administratrix of Hugh Kerrick. And on January
16, 1775, he and Philip Murray filed bond in the amount of œ200 for Walter
Gherrick, the administrator of Elizabeth Kerrick. In
1778 Thomas Luckett took the Oath of Allegiance and Fidelity to the State of
Maryland in Charles County, his signature appearing on the list of "His
Worshipful Robert Young Returns". [5] According
to the census of 1790, Thomas Luckett was the head of a family, he and another
man being over the age of 16, 1 boy under 16, 6 females, and 11 slaves. He
died intestate in Charles County. His widow Mary was issued letters of
administration, while the inventory of his personal estate, taken in April 1797,
showed property given to his five children at the time of marriage, but since
returned to the estate. The final account was rendered April 15, 1797, by his
widow, and distributed to her and nine unnamed children. John Griffin and Thomas
Luckett were the bondsmen. On
April 10, 1797, an indenture made in Charles County showed that Benjamin Luckett
and Elizabeth his wife, Barton Robey and Priscilla his wife, John Semmes and
Sarah his wife all of Nelson County, Kentucky, James Oldham and Elizabeth his
wife, Thomas Luckett and Mary his wife, Anne Luckett, Joseph Osborne Robey and
Valinda his wife, Hezekiah Luckett, and Henry Luckett, all of Charles County,
Maryland, deeded to Elizabeth Keith, of Alexandria, Virginia, a tract of land in
Charles County called "All Dispute", being a portion of Zachaiah Manor
which by patent of November 30, 1797, had been granted to Benjamin Luckett,
Elizabeth Oldham, Priscilla Robey, Thomas Luckett, Sarah Semmes, Anne Luckett,
Valinda Luckett, Hezekiah Luckett, and Henry Luckett, heirs of Thomas Luckett.
Hezekiah Luckett was given the power of attorney for the residents of Nelson
County. [Source:
