Hi Colene.I have found a nice website on Col Locke. It is http://www.ncmarkers.comhttp://www.ncmarkers.comHis is Marker L-61. There is also a nice essay on him. I will send you the copy of the will to your snail mail if that's OK. I grew up in Salisbury NC and roamed about so much of the countryside where he lived and fought, such as Grants Creek and Sherrils Ford. We owned property adjoining Grants Creek.During the Civil War, Col. Locke's ggg grandson, my great-grandfather, was Matthew L. Plummer. He fought in many of the same areas as his illustrious relative-different war, different cause. Nancy
