  • Notes 
    • Richard was born in 1672 in London, England. He immigrated in 1692 to Maryland. He was living between 1692 and 1703 in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. He was living in 1703 in Prince George Co., Maryland. He died in Sep 1733 in Prince George Co., Maryland. Between Sept 15 and Oct 29. He was a clerk, bookkeeper and farmer in Maryland. Richard came to Maryland consigned as a servant for 4 years to Major Henry Ridgely, a merchant near the head of the South River. Although no Anne Arundel Co., land records have bee found of Richard owning land, he did appear in several probate court cases as an estate appraiser or bondsman. Six of his children appear in the All Hallows vestry records, and an eight year old child, Mary Temple, was bound over to him to serve until she was sixteen. In 1708 Richard Duckett pruchased one hundred acres of Robert Tyler in Prince Georges Co., for the sum of 40 pounds. The land was a part of "Tyler's Discover," lying between the tracts called Enfield-Chase and Cat-tail's Meadow. Present day highways 50, 301 and 197 roughly outline the piece, about 12 miles east of Washington, D.C. Much of it is now developed into a housing area called Collingwood Manor. It could more truly have been named "Duckett's Dissapointment", for in 1727 Richard and Charity, unable to pay to the Episcopal pastor of Holy Trinity Church, Jacob Henderson, a long-stand debt of one hundred and eleven pounds sterling, forfeited the entire estate "as also all singular and personal estate..of what nature, kind or quality whatsoever...cows, calves, sheep, bedding, pewter...or other goods or chattels." Harry Wright Newman, "Mareen Duvall of Middle Plantation," published by the author, Washington, 1952, found in the Prince Georges Co., Historical Society library says on page 48: "One March 4, 1726/7, Richard Duckett and Charity his wife redeemed a mortgate (from Rev. Henderson) on Duckett's Hope." He was married to Charity Jacob on Jan. 5 or 26, 1698/99 in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland.
