General Notes: Husband - Joel Lockett

The following is on page 36 in Chapter IV of SOUTHERN KITH AND KIN, Volume 1, "The Locketts" (Jewel Davis Scarborough, 1951). For more information see Chapter XII.

Of the sons of Thomas Lockett II, Joel was the first to die. His will, dated September 1, 1768, probated February 27, 1769, named his wife Mary; four sons, Royal, Pleasant, Daniel, and Benjamin; and three daughters, Fanney Hankley, Mary Lockett, and Elizabeth Lockett. Joel devised the plantation on which he lived to Benjamin, when he should come of age. Thomas Moseley, James Handley, and Royal Lockett were named Executors. (Cumberland Will Book 1:440) On April 19, 1779, Royall Lockett of Southham Parish, Powhatan County, conveyed by deed to Arthur Moseley for 600 pounds, two hundred acres on the west side of Butterwood Creek, along Moseley's line (formerly Thomas Lockett's deceased) and bounded by the land of Edward Watkins; this land was the land "devised by Joel Lockett, deceased, to his son Benjamin, who is since dead and on his death descended to said Royall Lockett, eldest brother and heir at law to said Benjamin Lockett". (Powhatan Deed Book 1:101) This transfer occurred shortly after Benjamin's death. On August 17, 1778, Daniel Fore of North Carolina, by Jesse Cogbill, his attorney, sold to Royall, Pleasant, and Benjamin Lockett of Powhatan County, seven negroes: Jemmy, Sall, Pomp, Amphy, Dick, Hanner, and Cate for 150 pounds (Powhatan Deed Book 1:34). This is the last reference found to Pleasant Lockett, though one Pleasant Lockett served as Sergeant for 163 days (fro October 20, 1778 to April 1, 1779) in Captain Edward Worthington's Company of Caveldry (sic) under George Rogers Clark (7 W. (1) 120).

The deed recorded above is the last reference to Royall Lockett found in Powhatan County. The first reference to any Lockett in Mecklenburg County is the purchase of 451 1/2 acres of land on the east side of Great Bluestone Creek in both Charlotte and Mecklenburg Counties by Royall Lockett of Mecklenburg County from Henry Clay for 1000 pounds, March 10, 1789.
