Individual Details
Lt. Samuel Luckett
(June 12, 1756 - October, 1828)
"Samuel Luckett, son of Ignatius and Margaret Luckett, was born, June 12, 1756, in Port Tobacco Parish, Charles County, Maryland. Before 1775 he married Monica, the daughter of Clement Kennedy.
"Children of Samuel and Monica (Kennedy) Luckett:
1. William Luckett.
2. Francis H. Luckett.
"During July 1776, Samuel Luckett enlisted in Captain John Hoskins Stone's company of the Flying Camp, Smallwood's Regiment, and participated in the early campaigns around New York. He was discharged in Philadelphia early in December and returned to Charles County, where on December 10, he enlisted as a private for three years in the First Maryland Regiment, commanded by Colonel John Hoskins Stone, his former captain. Most of the time, however, he served as sergeant. At the expiration of his enlistment, December 27, 1779, he returned to Charles County, where he later served as ensign and then first lieutenant in the company of Captain Francis Mastin, of the militia.
"As early as 1784, Samuel Luckett was a communicant of Durham Parish, and in 1801 he subscribed 7 shillings for support of the rector.
"On June 18, 1785, Samuel Luckett conveyed "Frog Nest", of 183 acres and certain articles of personal property to William Cox and Benjamin Benson who were his bondsmen for the inspectorship of the tobacco warehouse at Chickamuxon. On April 18, 1786, Samuel Luckett and Monica his wife sold "Frog Nest", with improvements to Lott Mason for 14,152 pounds of tobacco.
"On March 6, 1787, to satisfy a judgment, Samuel Luckett, Planter, mortgaged to Robert Ferguson, Merchant, of Port Tobacco, for �118/19/--land in Durham Parish consisting of the following tracts--"Luckett's Slipe", "Luckett Hazard", "Luckett's Addition", and "Luckett's Chance", all containing 400 acres which had been willed by his father, Ignatius Luckett. On March 8, two days later, he sold to Henderson, Ferguson & Gibson, Merchants, personal property consisting mostly of household effects.
"His first wife died sometime before 1790, inasmuch as the census for that year shows him the head of a household in Charles County, with two boys under the age of sixteen but with no women. He subsequently married Elizabeth Cox, according to the statement of his granddaughter, who was born May 9, 1769, in Charles County.
"Children of Samuel and Elizabeth (Cox) Luckett:
3. Susannah Luckett married (???) Parnell.
4. Mary Luckett married (???) Elms.
5. Samuel Luckett, born Mar. 2, 1801.
6. John L. Luckett, born May 19, 1803.
7. David Luckett married Sally Ann Creek.
8. Nancy Luckett, born Jan. 13, 1808, married (???) Creek.
9. Anna Ware Luckett, born June 17, 1811.
"On October 20, 1806, Samuel Luckett conveyed to Ignatius Luckett for $250 "Frog Nest", "Slipe", and "Aspinal". This is perhaps the approximate date of his leaving Maryland for Kentucky. In Barren County, that State, during May 1818 he applied for a Revolutionary pension.
"He stated in his application that he was crippled in the left shoulder and foot and in the right hip, and was unable to pursue his occupation as farmer. The injuries, he asserted, occurred at Kemble's Farm in New Jersey, when he was constructing quarters for the soldiers.
"On October 6, 1825, he received a land grant from the State of Kentucky for 215 acres lying on Seage's Creek in Barren County.
"He dated his will April 17, 1828, it being proved in Barren County, in October 1828. He named his wife Elizabeth, and the following children--Anne Ware Luckett, David Luckett, William Luckett, Frances H. Luckett, Samuel Luckett, Susanna Parnell, Polly Elms, John L. Luckett, and Nancy Creek." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
