      A footnote about Francis Luck names his wife Sarah, their 3 sons and 7 daughters. "His house was in the eastern part of the county at a point now known as "Lucks", though the mansion house has long since disappeared. The place was noted for its elaborate and beautifully laid out gardens, which surrounded the house; unfortunately these too have disappeared."
