Hezekiah Luckett
(Abt, 1774 - November, 1859)
"Hezekiah Luckett, son of Thomas and Mary (Griffith) Luckett, was born about the year 1774 in Port Tobacco Parish, Charles County, Maryland. In 1797 as a resident of his native county, he acted as attorney for his brothers and sisters of Nelson County, Kentucky.
"In the early 1800's he was a member of that Catholic group which migrated from Maryland to Marion County, Kentucky. Among the families which joined in this movement were Alvey, Spalding, Mudd, Beaven, Mattingly, Abel, Edelen, Carrico, and Semmes--all old and staunch Roman Catholic families of Southern Maryland. One of their towns was named St. Mary's after the first settlement in their native State.
"In 1815 Hezekiah Luckett was granted 55 acres of land on Pottenger's Creek, which was followed by 196 acres in 1816, and 300 acres in 1831, extending beyond the Washington County line into Nelson County.
"At the census of 1850 Hezekiah Luckett was living on his farm in Marion County with his wife Elizabeth, aged 75 and born in Maryland, and Josephine Lennarts, aged 19 but born in Kentucky." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
