"John Luckett, son of William and Charity (Middleton) Luckett, was born about 1751 in the Lower District of Frederick County. Sometime before the Revolution he married Molly Anne (???), born about 1755.

"Children of John and Molly Anne Luckett:

"At majority John Luckett removed to Loudon County, Virginia, where during the Revolution he commanded a militia company of that county and participated at the seige of Yorktown.

"According to the tax list of Sugar Land Hundred, Frederick County, Maryland, in 1783, John Luckett was seized of "Congor" and "Disappointment", 40 miles from Georgetown on which were located three log houses and two tobacco houses. On March 9, 1785, as a resident of Loudon County, Virginia, he deeded these tracts to Thomas Hussey Luckett. Molly Anne Luckett, his wife, waived her right of dower.

"On October 17, 1787, he conveyed to Stephen Newton Chiswell, of Montgomery County, land known as "Accord", originally patented by William Cumming and James Edmondson, of Prince Georges County, and by them deeded to John Willcoxen who by will devised it to John Wilcoxen, alias Windsor, and by him conveyed to William Luckett.

"The will of John Luckett was dated November 24, 1783, and admitted to probate in Loudon County, Virginia, on November 25, 1793. He named his wife Molly Anne; his four sons Phil Hussey, Samuel Noland, William Merony, and John Middleton; and his daughter Sally Luckett. His widow and brother Levin Luckett were appointed executors." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
