Thomas Hussey Luckett
(Abt, 1735 - Bef January 27, 1800)
"Thomas Hussey Luckett, son of Ignatius and Jane Luckett, was born in Port Tobacco Parish, Charles County, Maryland. The name of his wife is an unsettled problem, and it is not improbable to assume that there was more than one. He mentioned an Elizabeth Douglas, the aunt to his son, John Douglas Luckett, and from this remark it indicates an alliance with the prominent Douglas family of Charles County.
"Children of Thomas Hussey Luckett:

"On March 18, 1754, Thomas Hussey Luckett, Jr., conveyed to Ignatius Luckett "Montague's Mount" and "Montague's Addition", containing 250 acres, which were adjacent to "Luckett's Addition". No wife waived dower.
"His name first appeared upon the Debt Books of Charles County in 1763, when he remitted quit rents on 44 acres of "Luckett's Benefit", and continued to do so until the Revolutionary War. After the death of his mother, he inherited "Moore's Ditch", and thus assumed the rents for this tract. At the tax list for 1783 he was seized of 302 acres of "Moore's Ditch" and "Luckett's Benefit", lying in Port Tobacco Lower Hundred.
"Thomas Hussey Luckett manifested his allegiance to the cause of the Colonies during the Revolutionary War and took the Oath of Fidelity in Charles County. His name appears upon the list of the "His Worshipful Walter Hanson's Returns". [4] About 1789 Thomas Hussey Luckett left the scene of his childhood and settled in Fauquier County, Virginia. It was recorded in 1798 that on December 29, 1789, Thomas Hussey Luckett and James Cox "who were formerly inhabitants of the State of Maryland who did remove from thence removed certain negroes from Maryland to Virginia to the land purchased from Nathaniel Ashby". Seven slaves were brought by Luckett and five by Cox.
"On January 25, 1790, Thomas Hussey Luckett purchased from Nathaniel Ashby and Peggy his wife, of Frederick County, Virginia, 321 acres of land which John Manzy, of Fauquier County, deceased, had willed to his daughter Peggy, "now Peggy Ashby". In 1791 he purchased additional land.
"The will of Thomas Hussey Luckett was dated January 6, 1800, and probated in Fauquier County, Virginia, on January 27, 1800, by Daniel O'Near, David Wickliff, John Peters, and Samuel Cave. His heirs were sons Thomas Hussey, John Douglas, Thomas, William, Richard, and Ignatius; daughters Chloe Tounge, Eleanor Cox, Nancy Luckett, and Mary Luckett. His two single daughters were devised 107 acres of land and equal portions of the dwelling house. Ignatius also received 107 acres of land. The executors so named were his son Ignatius, James Cox, and Joshua Tounge who were also named the guardians of his minor children--Nancy, Mary, William, and Richard. He also mentioned Elizabeth Douglas, the aunt to his son, John Douglas Luckett." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
