Mary Stacker Luckett

(June 4, 1872 - Aft 1937)

"Their eldest child, Mary Stacker Luckett, was born at Eddyville, Kentucky, on January 4, 1872, but as a young girl moved to Clarksville with her parents. Her early training, like most Southern girls of that day, was with private tutors, but later she attended Miss Belle Peers' Finishing School at Louisville.

"On December 14, 1899, she married William McClure Drane, born May 23, 1866, in Clarksville, the son of William McClure and Amelia Washington (Haddox) Drane, early settlers of Clarksville. The paternal ancestors of Mr. Drane were of Maryland but had figured in the early settlement of Tennessee. He was graduated from the Southwestern Presbyterian University and was early engaged in banking, but later associated himself with the foundry and implement business. His death occurred suddenly on May 24, 1931.

1. Roberta Luckett Drane, born Mar. 11, 1911, attended Sweet Briar College and Vanderbilt Univ.; married Nov. 16, 1935, Hilliard Officer Wood, of Nashville.

"Mary (Luckett) Drane is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution as well as the Colonial Dames of Tennessee through the Maryland services of her ancestor, Colonel William Luckett, of Frederick Town. She maintains (1937) her residence at Clarksville." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
