  • Notes 
    • Lucy Flukker's mother was born Hannah Waldo, the daughter of Brigadier Samuel Waldo, who had owned a 576,000 acre patent of land thirty miles square, encompassing parts of what are now Waldo and Lincoln and all of Knox Counties along with all of the islands within 3 miles of its border.

      Lucy was a member of the young fashionable set of Boston prior to the Revolution. The young officers and their ladies used young Henry Knox's bookstore in the heart of Boston as a social gathering place. It was there that Lucy Fluker met Henry Knox.

      She was the daughter of the powerful Tory Secretary of the Province, and from their elite company Knox gleaned manners, style, a greater measure of acceptance and a devoted wife.

      Throughout the War, Lucy traveled with her husband whenever she could. The family moved 14 times in the 19 years of their marriage, and during that time she gave birth to 13 children. In 1794, when her husband left public service, they moved to Thomas Town, Maine, where they built a home which they named Montpelier. Today it is a museum to General Henry Knox.
