Notes:

~ In his book, “The Lucketts of Portobacco”, Harry Wright Newman details some of the history of Thomas Luckett, the father of this Benjamin and names each of the nine children produced by the union of Thomas Luckett and Mary Griffin.
~ Property deeds for the Benjamin Luckett estate show that his last wife's name was Henrietta.
~ Property deeds for sale of dower land (Thomas Luckett to EJ Durbin, 1843) shows that Benjamin Luckett's last wife was named Henrietta. It also showed that Benjamin died on his property in Union County, Kentucky, not in Nelson County, Kentucky.
