Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/815 Surname: Locklin, Cramer, Wilde ------------------------- Funny, I was sure I had posted here. I'm looking for parentage information on my ggg grandfather, James Albert Locklin, Sr. He was born in 1829 (two out of four censuses say in Vermont) and lived most of his adult life in and around Ottawa County, in both Coopersville and Wright townships, as well as Grand Rapids in Kent County. He married Jane Cramer and had several sons between 1854 and 1879: Charles, James A. Jr. (my gg grandfather), George C., Homer, and Harry. Charles, George, Homer and Harry disappear from the records in Michigan before adulthood. James Jr. married Julia E. Wilde, my gg grandmother. James Jr. and Julia had two sons, Frank Thomas and Ward Clarence (my gr-grandfather). Frank stayed in Michigan at least until 1920, when he was there with his mother (Jr. died in 1915). He married Clara Taylor and ended up in California, and was buried in Riverside.
