Luckland Cemetery
Also known as Barbers Quarter Cemetery
Chaptico, St. Mary's County, Maryland, USA
The place was was a present from Lord Baltimore to Dr. Luke Barber. Dr Luke Barber, the progenitor of the Barber family in Maryland, he came to Maryland in 1654.
Dr. Luke Barber probably changed the name of his land from Barber's Quarter, which was probably so named by Lord Baltimore at the time of the gift, to Lukeland. Luckland was a corrupted form of Lukeland. How it was changed to Felicity is not known. It remained in the Barber family in its entirety from the 1650's to the 1950's.
During that time there has been more than one owner named Luke Barber, for there is an entry in the St. Marys County Deed Records of 1820 showing that Luke Barber and Susan Barber deeded the land for the old Bethel church for one dollar.
Both the Bethel Church and the large red brick mansion which stood on the high plateau are now gone. The latter was destroyed by fire about 1950. The clubhouse for Wicomico shores stands near the site of the old mansion.
