"Thomas Hussey Luckett, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hussey) Luckett, was born in Charles County, Maryland, at a date later than 1693. By 1717 he had married Elizabeth, the daughter of Robert and Juliana (Goodrick) Price.

"Robert Price dated his will December 6, 1714, and devised his daughters Elizabeth and Mary by his second and last marriage his entire landed estate. Some two years later, June 19, 1716, William Cantwell, one of the witnesses to the will of Robert Price, died without issue, and among his devisees were Elizabeth Price, Hussey Luckett, and Juliana Price, widow. Thus, at this date it is known that Elizabeth was still a maiden. But on December 23, 1717, Juliana Price, widow, conveyed to Thomas H. Luckett, Gent., for natural love and motherly affections which she bore to Elizabeth Luckett, wife of Thomas H. Luckett, and daughter of the said Juliana Price, 200 acres of "St. Patrick's Hill", lying on the west side of the main branch of the Creek of Port Tobacco, which had been devised to Elizabeth by the will of Robert Price, of Charles County, deceased, father to Elizabeth Luckett.

"Children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Price) Luckett:
1. William Rhody Luckett married Mary Anne Semmes.
2. Elizabeth Luckett married John Jenkins and Samuel Green. Issue: (Jenkins) Monica; Sarah; Susannah; Eleanor; Thomas; John Baptist; Edward; Mary Anne; and Elizabeth.
3. Anne Luckett married Jeremiah, son of Jeremiah and Mary Adderton, and secondly George Jenkins.

"About 1738 Thomas Hussey Luckett conveyed to his daughter Anne and her husband Jeremiah Aderton for love and natural affections land at Chinquamuxon.

"On December 12, 1716, Thomas Hussey Luckett, Gent., conveyed to Robert Hanson, Gent., for the consideration of 8,000 pounds of tobacco "Montague's Mountains" lying on the south side of St. Michael's Creek, formerly called Chingamuxon Creek. The deed was witnessed by William Mills and William Theobald, but no wife waived dower. Some years later he sold to Thomas Hussey Luckett, of Ignatius, another portion of this tract and also "Montague's Addition".

"On November 17, 1724, Robert Hanson resold "Montague's Mountains" of 200 acres to Thomas Hussey Luckett, and at the same time conveyed "Montague's Addition" of 100 acres, and "Aspinal Chance" of 119 acres, all lying on Chingamuxon Creek. The conveyance was witnessed by Gustavus Brown and George Dent.

"On August 4, 1725, Thomas Hussey Luckett conveyed to Thomas Skinner "Milerre" originally granted to George Godfrey on July 2, 1669, lying on Chingamuxon Creek. Elizabeth Luckett, his wife, relinquished her third. The witnesses were Thomas Stone, Joseph Harrison, and Step Evans.

"He negotiated three land patents--"Luckett's Addition" in 1730, "Wadestone's Addition" in 1747, and "Luckett's Benefit" in 1761.

"In 1751 Thomas Hussey Luckett and Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer were bondsmen for Thomas Simpson, the administrator of Anne Clarke. On November 31, 1765, he and George Jenkins witnessed the will of Thomas Simpson, and likewise on May 14, 1766, they gave bond for Elizabeth Simpson, the daughter and administratrix of the said Thomas Simpson.

"On July 15, 1766, Thomas Hussey Luckett and William Rhody Luckett conveyed to Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer for �195 "Wade Stone", lying near Goose Bay in the Potomac River of 200 acres, and also "Wade Stone Addition", containing 22 1/2 acres, improved property. At this time no wife joined in the deed.

"Thomas Hussey Luckett died intestate in Charles County about 1767, when letters of administration were issued to his son William Rhody Luckett. On July 11, same year, an inventory of his personal effects was filed and appraised at �216/5/6. George Jenkins and John Jenkins signed as the next of kin and Rhoda Luckett appeared as the administrator. On December 1, 1769, the proceeds were distributed to the three heirs--William R. Luckett, Elizabeth Jenkins. and Anne Jenkins. Henry Hagan and Thomas Semmes were the bondsmen." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
