Note: Newman's "The Lucketts of Portobacco" (1938) states that the surname Luckett comes from the name Luke. Luckett is said to be of Norman-French origin, and legend tells that one Locard went to England with William the Conqueror in 1066. The most common derivatives of the name are Luckett and Lockett, both surnames that were common in Kent, England as early as the 1530s.

Marcelle D. Hoskins's "Samuel Luckett of Maryland: Some of His Descendants" (1990), which is lifted largely from "The Lucketts of Portobacco" by Harry W. Newman (Washington, 1938), contains the following:
"The first record of our immigrant ancestor, Samuel Luckett, which we have found, dates 1678, when he received 830 pounds of tobacco for his participation in the Nanticoke War. Man power was not conscripted for this war and we surmise that only young, adventurous men served. This would provide a basis for estimating Samuel's age; therefore, an estimate might place his birth about the year 1650. No ship's passenger list has been located which shows Samuel's arrival in this country.
No record has been found telling us that Samuel Luckett applied for his 50 acres of land which was due each settler upon declaring his intent to make his home in Maryland. An assumption could be that he paid his own way to Maryland. Newman has suggested that Samuel may have been sent by his father to promote the family business in London and/or Bristol.
In March 1684, at Port Tobacco, Maryland, Samuel witnessed the will of his neighbor, Colonel William Chandler, an early and wealthy planter, who had migrated from Virginia. In August of that same year, he purchased from William Smoot of Wicomico, for 5000 pounds of tobacco, the tract of land 'Johnson's Royke', formerly laid out for George Goodrick.
Samuel Luckett was married to Elizabeth Hussey, widow of John Gardiner, ca 1684. On 24 Nevember 1683, she had been granted letters of adminstration on the estate of her deceased husband. At the Perogative Court held in Charles County, Maryland, during 1684, '...appeared Samuel Luckett of Charles County who intermarried with the relict and administrator of John Gardiner and showeth that he never intermarried with goods...'
..."Among the records in the Archives of Maryland can be found many land transactions attributed to Samuel Luckett. In the year 1696, the record shows that he was a member of the Provincial Court and signed a petition to the King of England [William III] as a civil officer of Charles County. This would establish him as member of the Church of England since beginning with the reign of William and Mary, all members of the Catholic faith were barred from holding office.
At the time of Samuel Luckett's death he owned at least 1100 acres of land which were willed to his three oldest sons, Samuel, Thomas, and Ignatius, and his wife; he gave Elizabeth a tract of land called 'Smoot's Chance', and to the youngest son, Thomas Hussey, who had become the beneficiary of his grandfather Hussey, he gave Personalty. The residue of his estate was bequeathed to his wife and children which included 'money due to me in England and elsewhere...'"

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty-fifth day of March Anno Domini one thousand and seven hundred and five.
Samuel (his mark) Luckett
Witnesses: Phillip Briscoe, Joseph Venom, Michl Waterer

The inventory of Samuel's estate was appraised Aug. 23, 1705 by Capt. Phillip Briscoe and Michl Martin. This appraisal also names Samuel's date of death as April 23, 1705. It is a very large estate worth over 500 Pounds. Included in the appraisal are 7 negro slaves and 8 white or mulatto indentured servants, all valued at 253 Pounds.
The Roby (Robey) records show Sarah Hines Luckett as daughter of Samuel Luckett. What proof?

Note: Samuel Luckett is probably not Sarah's father. Unless he was married earlier and Elizabeth is his second wife. There is not much good information about Sarah.

Note: The maiden name for Onah, (Oran, Orah or even Oneath) was probably not Page as previously supposed. It could have been Macdoneal or some similiar spelling. The search goes on.

No proof, although one son was named Elzaphan and called Elzy.

Note: 1840 Jefferson Co. Ind. census:
Mary West, head of household - 1 male 20-30, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 50-60
She is on the same page with James Glover, Mary Ann West, Daniel West, Thomas West and Joseph Coleman.

Note: Martha's father was a full blood Choctaw Indian. Her mother was probably 1/2 Choctaw.

"Whats in a Name?"
When my mother's father, my g.father, a full blood Choctaw Indian, was a schoolboy in Okla., one of his teachers asked him his name at the beginning of school. Grandpa told him "Pitisitycubby" (spelled phonetically). The teacher exclaimed that, that was too hard to spell & pronounce, so he said, "Here, take my name! " So, grandpa took the name McCasson as his own, Samuel Henry McCasson.
