Tennessee, The Volunteer State, 1769-1923, Vol. 4.ROBERT LOCKWOOD.
(source ancestry.com)
For sixty-eight years Robert Lockwood has been a citizen of Memphis, having taken up his abode here in 1854. During a half century of this period he was a leading dealer in horses and mules, first conducting business as a member of the firm of *C. H. Brackett & Company and later carrying on his interests independently for thirty years. He is now in the eightieth year of his age but is still active and vigorous and would readily pass for a man very much younger. He was born in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, September 26, 1843, and is the only living son of James and Amelia (Hope) Lockwood. His father spent his last years in Memphis, passing away October 31, 1867, while the mother's death occurred here in October, 1862. They had removed to Memphis from Keokuk, Iowa, in the year 1853. The father, who was a contractor and builder, died of yellow fever. Both parents were natives of New York city and the family comes of English ancestry. There were four sons in the family, of whom Robert Lockwood was the youngest. The others were: James, Jeremiah and Thomas P. Lockwood, but all have passed away. There are three living daughters: Mrs. Amelia Judd, a widow of Los Angeles, California, now eighty-seven years of age; Mrs. Lucretia Bassett, a widow, living in Memphis; and Mrs. Mary Ellen Risk, who is also a widow of this city. One daughter, Adeline Eliza, became the wife of John L. Reister but has now departed this life.
