Born in Prince George's County, Maryland, Duckett graduated from Princeton University in 1790, and read law to enter the Bar. He had a private practice in Prince George's County, and from 1793 to 1795 was an assistant clerk to the Maryland House of Delegates, before himself becoming a Delegate to that body from 1796 to 1800. He was then on the executive council of the State of Maryland from 1801 to 1806. On February 28, 1806, President Thomas Jefferson nominated Duckett to a seat on the United States Circuit Court of the District of Columbia vacated by Jefferson's elevation of William Cranch to the Chief Judge position on that court. Duckett was confirmed by the Senate on March 3, 1806, and received his commission on March 17, 1806. He served on the court until his death, in Prince George's County. References
