LOCKER/WITT
I recently found this information:
MALINDA JANE WITT born 1828, Crittenden, AR married SAMUEL LOCKER (middle initial listed as E or R)
I also located this info:
1850 Census Missouri Township, Ouachita Co., AR
(roll 28, pg 70) 12/23/1850
Samuel E. Locker, 29 yrs., Farming, born in TN $300.00
Malinda, 24, TN
Frances, F 4, AR
John W.,1 yr., AR
John Heron, 27, M., Laborer, NC
I believe that SAMUEL LOCKER is my second great granduncle who was the son of SAMUEL S. LOCKER (1789, NC -- 1868, Texas) and Frances Hereford (1800, possibly KY -- ?) married about 1818, near Memphis, TN.
In the 1850 Census of Ouachita Co., AR
I also found an ANDREW LOCKER with this info:
1850 Missouri Township, Ouachita Co., AR (roll 28, pg 73)
Andrew J. Locker 25 yrsborn in Alabama Farming
12/24/1850
Mary A. , 19 yrs
Minervia J. l yr female , AR
Sarah, 15 yrs., Alabama
My SAMUEL ELIJAH LOCKER had a brother, ANDREW & this would be the correct age for him.
Another fact, MALINDA JANE WITT (possibly the daughter of JOHN WITT & REBECCA WEAR - per information not documented by me).JOHN WITT'S sister, ELIZABETH was married to CHARLES ROBERTSON SEVIER, whose mother was KEZIAH ROBERTSON (daughter of my 6th great grandfather, CHARLES ROBERTSON on my LOCKER/ROBERTSON/BLACKWOOD line)
If MALINDA JANE WITT's husband, SAMUEL, is my ancestor, he would be the son of my third great grandfather on my LOCKER/ROBERTSON/BLACKWOOD line.
My LOCKER family was located in Locker, San Saba Co., TX.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
