Ignatius Luckett
(January 30, 1689 - March 29, 1735)
"Ignatius Luckett, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hussey) Luckett, was born January 30, 1689, according to court record, at the head of Port Tobacco Creek, Charles County, Maryland. His baptismal name is not only a well known Catholic one, but was popular among the Romanish families of Southern Maryland. It was undoubtedly given him as a tribute to Ignatius Matthews, a stepbrother to his mother. He married Jane (???).
"Children of Ignatius and Jane Luckett:
1. Ignatius Luckett married Margaret (???).
2. Samuel Luckett married twice.
3. William Luckett married Susannah (???).
4. John Luckett married Eleanor Maddox.
5. Elizabeth Luckett.
6. Anne Luckett.
7. Charity Luckett.
8. Thomas Hussey Luckett.
9. Notley Luckett.
"Ignatius Luckett on March 10, 1714, purchased from Michael Ashford, of Stafford County, Virginia, for 7,000 pounds of tobacco the tract known as "Moore's Ditch", lying on the west side of Zachiah Swamp and adjoining the land of George and Robert Goodrick. On October 7, 1731, he purchased from Thomas Morris, Carpenter, of Charles County, and Sophia his wife for 3,000 pounds of tobacco a moyety or half interest in the tract "Small Hopes" lying on the west side of the Wicomico River. The deed of conveyance was witnessed by Robert Hanson and Henry Hawkins. In 1732 Ignatius Luckett patented the tract "Luckett's Level".
"The will of Ignatius Luckett was dated March 29, 1735, and proved in Charles County on April 16, 1735, by Francis Goodrick, John Hanson, and Thomas Hussey Luckett. He named his wife Jane, the executrix, and devised her 250 acres of "Moore's Ditch" during life then to their son Ignatius II. Samuel was devised the residue of the above-named tract, it being 250 acres. William and John were willed jointly 100 acres of "Luckett's Level", 100 acres of "Square Adventure", 50 acres of "Small Hope", also the interest in 200 acres of land which the testator held bond of his father-in-law (step-father) John Hanson. Thomas Hussey was bequeathed L60 for the purchase of land. Elizabeth, Anne, and Charity were all bequeathed personalty. One-third of the personal estate was bequeathed to his wife, with the residue being divided among his eight children.
"In May 1735, an inventory of the personal effects was made, with John Hanson, Jr., and Thomas Hussey Luckett signing as the kinsmen. John Williams, of Prince Georges County, and Thomas Hawkins, of Charles County, were the sureties for the widow and executrix, Jane Luckett.
"The widow of Ignatius Luckett lived many years after his death. From 1753 to 1755 she paid quit rent on 196 acres of "Montague Addition" and "Montague Mountains", and 54 acres of "Luckett's Addition", but in 1755 her son, Ignatius, assumed the rents on these tracts while she paid the rents on 250 acres of "Moore's Ditch" and continued to do so until 1772.
"She negotiated her will in April 1765, bequeathing her entire estate to her son Notley. The instrument was not admitted for probate in Charles County until April 7, 1775." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
