William Luckett

(Abt, 1728 - Abt, 1759)

"William Luckett, son of Ignatius and Jane Luckett, was born in Charles County, Maryland. His wife was Susannah (???). Only one child--Samuel--has been proved.

"On March 29, 1738, he and his brother John, both described in the deed as sons of Ignatius Luckett, deceased, and residents of Charles County, purchased from John Hanson, Gent., for the sum of L60 "Hussey's Addition" which had been resurveyed under the name of "Green Land", in the woods at the west side of the head of Port Tobacco Creek. Elizabeth Hanson, the wife of John, waived her dower rights, at which time Robert Hanson and Samuel Hanson, Jr., witnessed the transfer.

"On August 16, 1751, William Luckett, described as "Planter of Charles County" sold his portion of the above-named tract to his brother John Luckett for a consideration of �100. Susannah Luckett, his wife, acknowledged the conveyance, while Thomas Stone and Walter Hanson witnessed the transfer.

"In 1753 William Luckett paid quit rents on "Small Hope", of 51 acres, "Square Adventure", of 100 acres, and "Luckett's Level", of 100 acres. Rents were regularly remitted under his name until 1763, when in that year and continuing to 1773 they were paid under the tenant of "heirs of William Luckett".

"In 1754 William Luckett and Thomas Smoot, Jr., both of Charles County, were sureties for Francis Ware, the executor of Francis Ware, to the bond of L1,000.

"William Luckett died intestate. In 1759 the inventory of his personal effects was taken and appraised at �122/12/4. Letters of administration had been issued to Susannah Luckett, the widow and administratrix, on February 15, 1759, when Francis Ware and Thomas Hussey Luckett, Jr., exhibited bond. John Luckett and Thomas Hussey Luckett signed the papers as next of kin.

"By June 1764, his widow had become the wife of Cornelius Maddox who completed the administration. The balance of L137/18/10 showed no distribution to the heirs." (The Lucketts of Portobacco, by Harry Wright Newman, 1938.)
