LOCKETT PATCHWORK

A genealogist, like a quilter, spends years collecting little bits & pieces. Some are old, some brand new. Some are hand-me-downs, some quite expensive. Some are plain, some very exciting. These cherished bits & pieces are organized, reorganized, brought out to be admired, put away to rest, and all the while growing in number. Above all, a genealogist, like a quilter, dearly dreams of the day when all the bits & pieces will come together to create a beautiful family heirloom.

THE LOCKETT FAMILY HISTORY

As best as can be determined, there was only one Lockett living in Virginia in 1667, THOMAS LOCKETT. One son JAMES died in 1709, thus leaving only two sons, BENJAMIN and THOMAS II, to carry on the Lockett name. But this one small family, like America itself, has produced thousands of descendants. Today they can be found in all parts of the county and in all walks of life.

~THOMAS LOCKETT 1645-1686~

Although it is widely assumed that Thomas was born in Virginia, there is, as yet, no documentation to prove it. The earliest document to mention Thomas Lockett is a deed transferring a headright from Thomas Osborne to Thomas Lockett, dated November 5, 1667. I assume this land was the dowery of Thomas's wife, Margaret Osborne. It is not known where this acreage was, but I do know that Thomas Osborne lived in Coxendale, Henrico County, on Proctors Creek and James River. His plantation was called Batchelers Bancke.

It is my opinion that Thomas Lockett lived in today's Chesterfield County, just north of Colonial Heights. Some publications have him much further west, in the current Powhatan County, but I believe this plantation came to the Locketts in later generations.

Reasons for my opinion are as follows:

1. In 1683 Thomas bought land from Priscilla Baugh Farrar. This land was described as "on Appomattox River between the Spring and Deep Bottom" formerly owned by William Baugh. Baugh owned land at the head of Perristoyle Creek at a place called "spring bottom".

2. According to an old map Peirces Stile Creek Ferry was between Powells Creek and Swift Creek on the Appomattox River, just west of its joining the James River.

3. In Thomas' will he left land between the spring and the Deep Bottom joining Peirles, Henrico county known as "Scotland Hills".

4. On another old map there is a Pierceys Plantation on the Appomattox River west of Powels Brook.

5. Bristol Parish was formed in 1643 "to begin... at Powell's creek on the westward side of the Appomattox River".

Thomas and Margaret had six children, Benjamin, Thomas II, James, Susan, Elizabeth, and Mary. As of now, little is known about Elizabeth Lockett Standly or Mary Lockett Mitchell.

BENJAMIN LOCKETT 1669-1730

The oldest son of Thomas & Margaret inherited "Scotland Hills" Benjamin and Winfred Pride Lockett's heirs continued to live in this area for several generations. One of their grandsons, James Lockett (William, Benjamin) was a soldier in the French and Indian War. He died in 1759, but I do not know if it was war related. Their children were Deborah, Jane, William, Francis, Charles, and Benjamin, Jr.

BENJAMIN LOCKETT, JR Little is known of Benjamin, Jr. except that he had a son named Richard who married Mary Logwood and lived in Bedford County, Va. They had 12 children; William, Winifred, Richard, Mabel, David, Edmund, Daniel, Jeremiah, Josiah, Rodah, Jesse, & Archibald.

DANIEL LOCKETT 1766-1825, married Betsey DeForest, and moved to Wythe County, Va. Daniel was a minister, performing many marriages in his lifetime. It seems he only occasionally made it to the county courthouse to record these marriages. Sometimes a dozen or more were recorded with the same date. Makes you wonder about some of your own data! Daniel and Betsey raised four children; Richard, Salley, Edmund, and Louiza.

Richard Lockett 1794-1868, oldest son of Daniel, married Jane Hamilton and raised Eliza E, Margaret J, Sarah Ann, James H, & Daniel Gilberth. In 1834 Richard and his family left Virginia for the wilderness of Illinois. They were one of the original families of Georgetown, Vermilion Co, IL. Through the generations his descendants have remained in and around this midwestern area. His 4th greatgrandson has many interesting facts about this branch of the Lockett family. Contact: William Lockett

Edmund Lockett was the youngest son of Daniel. He married Eliza T and had 8 children: Benjamin F, James W, Samuel D, Louisiana, Sarah, Hickerson, David, & Martha. Edmund became an Iron Master at Cripple Creek Forge. In the 1850 Census of Wythe County, VA. he had a capital investment of $2,000 in the iron factory and employed 12 men. His son James W. tried to rebuild the forge after it was severely damaged in the Civil War. Unfortunately he went bankrupt doing so and had to flee to Texas, where he died a broken man. His widow and heirs were even named as defendents in a lawsuit stemming from these debts.

WILLIAM LOCKETT 1772-1853, married Louisa DeForrest, 1767-1849 (sister of Betsey) and moved to Kentucky where he was a minister also. Their daughters were: Elizabeth 1797-1866 m. Elisha Franklin, Mary (Polly) 1800, Matilda D. 1803-1867 m. Rev. Lewis Parker.

Lemuel Lockett was William and Louisa's only son. He married Margaret Woods in Wayne Co., KY in 1834. Their children were: Mary, Sarah, William A., James, & Margaret. Dr. William Archibald Lockett's grt-grt granddaughter has more info on this Kentucky branch. Nancy Lockett

JOSIAH LOCKETT 1765-1840 married Jincy Jeter and moved to the newly acquired West. They settled in Sumner County, Tennessee. Among Josiah's grandchildren was William H. Lockett, Jr. who is being researched by his grt-grt-granddaughter Mildred Fournier

Another of Josiah's grandchildren was Tillman Jeter Lockett. He moved even further west and helped found Lockett, Texas. He is being researched by James Wilks

SUSAN LOCKETT 1675-?

The only daughter of Thomas and Margaret that I have any information on was Susan, b. 1675. In 1689 she married William Griggs II of Charles City County, Virginia. They lived at "The Graces" and had three children. William Griggs was related to the Featherstons, Burwells, & Hightowers. More on these families can be viewed at Connie Moretti.

THOMAS LOCKETT II 1673-1745

The second son of Thomas and Margaret was born 1673. After his brother James died, Thomas II became sole owner of the "Manor Plantation" (including Thomas I's house). After part of Henrico County became Goochland County in 1727, land north of the Appomattox River became available for grants. Thomas II acquired his share; according to County records approximately 1500 acres on both the north and south sides of Butterwood Creek. Close neighbors were Halcoat & John Pride. During his lifetime the Lockett family gained some  wealth, as indicated by the inventory after his death which reported some pewter pieces and several books, which were very rare in the region.
Thomas II married Martha Osborne, niece of Margaret Osborne Lockett. They had two sons, Thomas III & Joel, and two daughters, Lucy and female. After Martha's death, Thomas II married Elizabeth and had another son, Gideon, and daughter,Hannah.

JOEL LOCKETT ?-1768 was the second son of Thomas II and Martha Lockett. He married Mary Thedisse Joel inherited all the land on the northside of Butterwood Creek. He in turn left the property to his son, Benjamin. Upon Benjamin's death he left it to his brother, Royall.

GIDEON LOCKETT ?-1808 was the youngest son of Thomas II and Elizabeth Lockett. He inherited the "Manor Plantation". In 1790 Gideon deeded his property to sons, Benjamin and Stephen.

THOMAS LOCKETT III 1700-1775

The oldest son of Thomas II and Martha continued the westward move acquiring more & more property. He went as far West as Prince Edwards County, Va. He and Judith Townes had 10 children; James, Stephen, David, Osborne, Martha, Elizabeth, Abner, Lucy, Mary, & Jacob. After the Revolutionary War, several of his children moved away from Virginia.

JAMES LOCKETT 1731-1800
The first born of Thomas III and Judith married Susannah Dupuy in 1753 and they had four sons; John, James, Joel, and Britain. Susannah died in the late 1850's. After her death, James took his sons and moved to Johnston Co., North Carolina. For some unknown reason, he changed his name to LOCKHART once in North Carolina. Also, James married Hannah Hawkins Smith and they had eight more children. They were; Stephen, Osborn, Benjamin, Thomas, Cary, Elam, Patsey, and Edith.

JOHN LOCKETT/LOCKHART 1754-1824 oldest son of James and Susannah married Mary Sturdivant in North Carolina. They had 6 children; Tabitha, John, Joel, James, Margaret, and Susannah They moved to Lincoln County, Georgia. About 1810 Mary died and John married Mary "Molly" Simpson.

PHILLIP LOCKETT ?-1848 married twice, first to Jane Trotter in 1809. Their Children were Ann, Eliza, Frank, Howard, Jane, Lucy, and Thomas. Caroline Wainwright Harper was Phillips second wife, but there is no data on any children they may have had.

ELIZA J. LOCKETT 1816-1887 married William B. Williams and left Virginia for Warren Co., North Carolina. Eliz and William were destined to became the grt-grt grandparents of Gail Swain who will be happy to answer your questions on these North Carolina Locketts.

THOMAS J. LOCKETT 1813-? and wife, Euphemia H. A. Agnew had four daughters and one son, Robert Addison 1838-1922. As a young man Robert had a great desire to "Go West". He moved to Oregon! Thanks to Robert and his wife, Mary E. Owens there are many Locketts descendants living in Oregon today. One of their great-grandsons has traced this branch of the Lockett Tree. Need more details? Keith Hawn.

STEPHEN LOCKETT 1733-1794
The one son of Thomas III and Judith who continued to live in the area throughout his life. Stephen married MARY CLAY and started a plantation on Sailor's Creek in Prince Edwards County, Va. There he built his plantation, "Elmwood", and raised his family. His house still stands today, although it is unoccupied and deteriorating.

Her grandson is researching the family today. John Burk

OSBORNE LOCKETT 1769-1836, son of Stephan & Mary inherited the homestead and lived there all his life. Osborne studied law under Chief Justice Marshall; acquired vast acres of land; had a cotton gin, a grist mill, & barges. He was an important and wealthy man. According to the 1996 Prince Edward County map, the taxing district around Sailor's Creek is the "Lockett District" and Spring Creek in the western part of the county was renamed "Lockett Creek". He married AGNES BRANCH SCOTT, whose family claimed descent from French nobility. Most of their children left Virginia and a number of the children and grandchildren achived very prestigeous lifes.

GEORGE WASHINGTON LOCKETT 1813-1880, oldest son of Osborne and Agnes. He married Elizabeth Watkins Vaughn in 1837 and they had 13 children. About 1840 they moved to Missouri.

JAMES STEPHEN LOCKETT 1820-1895, inherited from Osborne and Agnes a large portion of the homestead on Sailor's creek. His house, "Piney Grove", built in 1858, was the site of the Sailor's Creek Battle during Lee's Retreat and the last days of the Civil War. The house still stands and has a momument in the front yard dedicated by the Daughters of the Confederacy of Nottoway Chapter. James; his wife, Mary Clark; 3 daughters; and 1 son had to hide in the basement during the battle. Although daughter Mary Orie Lockett was only 6 years old at the time of the battle, she was able to tell the story to her granddaughter, Virginia Lockett Morris who still lives close to the old house and took me to see it, along with the family cemetery.

David was one of the first sons of Thomas III & Judith to move away from the homestead. In 1759 he married Sallie Lucy Winfrey and in the same year patented 360 acres in Albemarle County, Va., two years later that portion of the county became Buckingham County. In 1777 he became a private in the 1st Company of Colonel Gist's Virginia regiment. By the end of the Revolutionary War he was a lieutenant. After the war he received a Bounty Grant in Wilkes County, Georgia. At the time of his death David owned 550 acres on the Ogechee River. By that time that part of the county had changed to Warren County, Ga. His sister, MARY LOCKETT GIBSON, a widow, was living on David's land and he willed 50 acres to her. His other sister and brother, MARTHA LOCKETT BASS and JACOB LOCKETT, also lived nearby. David & Sallie's children were: Solomon, Thomas, Abner, David, Winfrey, Reubin, Doctor, and Sallie.

SOLOMON LOCKETT 1760-1836
The oldest son of David & Sallie married Martha Aford and settled down on the Williams Creek, Warren County, Ga. The children of Solomon & Martha were Warren who died as a young man, Cullen who became a doctor, Cynthia who married Abner Chapman, and Uriah who may have been killed by Robert Flewellen in a duel.

JAMES LOCKETT, the oldest son of Solomon and Martha, began the westward move in Georgia. He married Sallie Darden in Warren County in 1810 and moved to Jones County, Ga. In 1816 he became Justice of the Peace. According to the taxes, James became a wealthy man; owning land, slaves, and "Pleasure Wheels" carriages. In 1824, James and two others deeded land for the Planters Academy. No children have been located from this marriage. But in 1840 he remarried to Hettie Humphries Cottrell and had one son, Solomon Humphries Lockett. James & Hettie built a fine house in Clinton, Jones County, Ga. Two years after the marriage James died. The house named, Lockett-Hamilton House stands today in Old Clinton and is on the list of historical sites in Jones County, Ga.

Thomas was the second son of David & Sallie. He lived on the Rocky Comfort Creek in Warren County, Ga. In 1794 he married Betsy Sims. She died some time after that and he married Temperance Rogers in 1810. There is some discrepancy as to the number of children, but I believe there were ten.

CULLEN ROGERS LOCKETT, son of Thomas & Temperance, married Harriet Martha Ivy in 1835. Their children were Senia, Thomas Solomon, Susan, Chloe Martha, Mary, Sansel, Clara, & Abner J.

One of their daughters, Chloe Martha Lockett married George E. Guy and their daughter Harriet Guy married William P. Jones. Harriet Guy Jones' grandson is researching this branch of the tree. For more details  Gene Jones

ABNER LOCKETT 1764-1828

The third son of David & Sallie Lockett was the first to leave Warren County, Ga. As the western boundry of Georgia moved, so did Abner. He and wife, Patsy Rees/Reese* particpated in the 1805 Land Lottery of Hancock County, Ga., then Jones County, and finally Monroe County, Ga. In 1822 Abner was a grand juror in the First Superior Court of Monroe County, Ga. Children of Abner & Patsy were: James, Hugh, Polly, David, Abner, Solomon, & Martha.

IMPORTANT NEW DATA Until now Abner Lockett's wife, Patsy's maiden name has been a mystery; but I have come across evidence that she was the daughter of James Rees/Reese 1733-1823, son of Hugh Rees/Reeseof Bristol Parish, Va. James married Nancy Holloway 1746-1824, lived a short time in Camden SC, and then moved to Hancock Co., Ga. by at least 1794, when he witnessed a deed. Both James & Nancy died in Hancock Co. According to James's will, his children were: James, David Joel, Patsy (married to ? Lockett), and Mary. Now we know why Abner and Patsy named their second son Hugh Reese, a name repeated several times through the generations. I will keep you posted!

JAMES LOCKETT 1795-1844
James was the oldest son of Abner & Patsy Lockett, probably born in Hancock County, Ga. He married Rebecca Barron in 1821 in Jones County, Ga. (James' sister, Polly Lockett married Rebecca's brother, Willie Barron.) James & Rebecca's early homestead was at Mims Crossing, Ga., a station on the Central of Georgia Railroad (later named Loraine). Later they moved to Culloden, Monroe County, Ga. James & Rebecca had 6 children; James, Jr., William, Benjamin B., Solomon, Abner M. and Sara Ann. James died in 1844 and Rebecca lived on for many years, until 1870..

In 1825 he married Sarah Woodward in Monroe County, Ga., moved to Merriwether County, Ga. and a few years later they settled in Dadeville, Tallapoosa County, Alabama. In 1857 he became the Tallapoosa County Sheriff. Hugh was a very tall man, 6'9" and it has been said that he wore a stove-pipe hat which made him look even taller. Hugh & Sarah had eight children: John Lusfy, Orren Woodward, Martha A., Hugh Reese, Winfield Jackson (died in 1863 at Port Hudson, La. during the Civil War), David Rodney, Mary C., and Elizabeth (married John Knox).

Winfield Jackson Lockett 1896-1937, was Hugh & Isabella's first child. In 1896 he married Martha Slemmer Dunnam and continued the 200 year tradition of farming, which was no small feat with a family of 11 daughters and 2 sons. They lived near Maple, Collin County, Tx. Actually, the property was on the county line with Grayson and Collin Counties. The house was in Grayson County and the fields were in Collin County. The town of Maple consisted of a Methodist Church, a blacksmith shop, a doctor's office, and a shop or two. Unfortunately, Maple no longer exists. "The doctor's office became a smokehouse for later Locketts."

Delta Minnie Lockett 1906-1988, one of the daughters, married Joseph Elliott in 1925 and they continued to work the Lockett farm until WWII, when they moved to Gunter, Grayson Co., Tx. where Joseph Elliott sold farm equipment.
