John Luckett
(Abt, 1729 - Aft 1762)
"John Luckett, son of Ignatius and Jane Luckett, was born in Port Tobacco Parish, Charles County, Maryland. His wife was Eleanor, the daughter of Walter and Elizabeth Maddox. She and her sister, Phoebe Brown, signed the inventory as "next of kin" of their deceased father's estate in July 1778, and she shared in the final distribution in February 1779. Furthermore, in May 1778, she signed the inventory of the estate of her deceased brother--Walter Maddox, Jr.
"Only one child of John and Eleanor has been proved, that is, Ignatius. (q.v.)
"On March 29, 1738, John Luckett and his brother William bought "Hussey's Addition" or "Green Land" from their grandmother and her husband, John Hanson.
"On March 14, 1750, as John Luckett, of Charles County, Planter, he conveyed to William Luckett, for 1,000 pounds of tobacco "Square Adventure", lying on the northwest branch of Zachia Swamp, formerly surveyed for George Goodrick, and "Luckett's Level" on Port Tobacco Creek, adjoining the land of Francis Goodrick, and "Small Hope" on the west side of Wicomico River as laid out for Henry Moore on August 3, 1665. Eleanor Luckett, his wife, waived all dower rights, while Thomas Stone and Robert Yates witnessed the transaction.
"John Luckett paid quit rents on 200 acres of "Greenland" through the year 1762, but after that year his name no longer appeared on the Debt Books.
"John Luckett was not the head of a family in Charles County according to the first census. No administration nor settlement of his estate has been found in Charles County." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
