Fought in Nanticoke Indian War, 1678 Samuel received 30 pounds of tobacco for his participation in this war. This is significant because proves that he was in the colonies and was young and strong enough to fight. He was not yet 30 years old. Six years later, he witnessed the will of Colonel William Chandler and purchased 6 pounds of tobacca from William Smoot. page 6, The Lucketts of Portabacco by Henry Wright Newman

SAMUEL LUCKETT:

 Settled in Maryland before 1678.  Samuel was a member of the Maryland Provincial Court during 1696, he signed a Petition to the King as a member of the Provincial Court and as a Civil Officer of Charles County. Since Catholics could not hold public office indicates that he was a member of the Church of England.

At the Prerogative Court held in Charles County during 1684, "Appeared Samuel Luckett of Charles County who intermarried with the relict and administrator of John Gardiner and showeth that he never intermeddled with goods". Here proof exists of his marriage to the widow, and also for the belief that he had interfered with the estate of her deceased husband. (Harry Wright Newman)

When Samuel died his estate was valued at 829 pounds, 13 shillings, 3 pence and included 7 white indentured servants but no slaves.

Notes for ELIZABETH HUSSEY: Elizabeth was a Roman Catholic, as was her mother, and all four Luckett sons were brought up in the Catholic faith.

Elizabeth's father, Thomas Hussey, entered the Province as an indenture, but was styled Gent. This indicates that he was "a scion of the English gentry". His signature is found on documents which proves that he was educated --an accomplishment not always attributable to many of the early settlers. He became one of the interesting characters of the early days and once wrote to Lord Baltimore that he had been robbed by the Indians "of alle but the clothes on my bodye". He contracted numerous marriages, and while it is not clear whether he professed the Roman or Anglican faith, it is known that his second wife was a Catholic, the religion which was imparted to their two daughters.

Thomas Hussey died at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and by his will, proved October 14, 1700, he devised his grandson and namesake, Thomas Hussey Luckett, 1,310 acres of land at Chingamucon (Chicamuxen) which lay in Durham Parish, the western-most portion of the county.

Luckett and Hussey Research in Port Tobacco

His four sons were William, Samuel, Thomas Hussey, and Thomas. No known justification is apparent for the first name--William. Samuel was his namesake, while Thomas Hussey was the full name of his father-in-law. But the fact that he named his youngest son Thomas Hussey when one was already baptized Thomas is important. In those days the naming of children was significant and they were not given because they met with the fancy of the parents. One son was most assuredly named after the paternal grandfather, and it is not believed to be William. It was most likely Thomas, a name common to the Lucketts of County Kent, England.
