I am PRIMARILY researching my LOCKE Family in Tennessee. WILSON is a marriage 'branch' that I am trying to track down. Here is *ALL* the info I have on the WILSON connection: "Benjamin Franklin LOCKE Jr. b. 28 MAY 1851, Decatur, Meigs County, TN, occupation Doctor, m. 1875, Hattie WILSON. Benjamin died 13 FEB 1900, Oklahoma." So, the *only* WILSON name I have to go on is "Hattie WILSON". I did not see a "Hattie" mentioned in your info, but she could have possibly related to your WILSON's somehow. PLEASE look and see if you have ANY info on a "Hattie WILSON" in your info anywhere. I do not know if Benjamin Franklin LOCKE Jr. married Hattie WILSON in TN, or OK. I do know that sometime after the Civil War, B. F. LOCKE Jr. and his two brothers - Victor M. LOCKE and Elisha Sharp LOCKE - all moved from TN to OK. How SOON after, I am not exactly sure, so the marriage date is of no help to me. Again, I am trying to 'flesh out' the WILSON branch from this marriage. Thanks for any help you can offer!
