The information I have is that Maragret Louise "Maggie" Locke was said to have been born in Whitesburg, Hamblen County, Tennessee. Her father left the family soon after or before she was born (I don't know his name) and her mother died when she was four years old.I don't know the name of her mother (the family history says that the mother was full blooded Cherokee). Her older brothers and sisters were J.J. Locke, Button Locke, another brother ? Locke, and one sister Molly Locke. They went to live with foster parents Bob and Molly White. Maybe Molly was adopted by the Whites. Maybe Molly married Bob White. The information is a little sketchy from the memory of Maggie Locke's daughter. Eventually Maggie married Bart Harrison Watts and they moved to southern Illinois. Maggie Lock was 18 when she married Bart Harrison Watts (age 30) on 7 January 1913 in Hawkins County, Tennesse. (We have a registered copy of the marriage license, but it doesn't list parents of either Bart or Maggie and doesn't list the town where they were married- It is a registered copy that was sent to her when she requested it on Jan 18th of 1961- so it was just a verification that her marriage record is in Hawkins County, Tn From Marriage Record Book 9 Page 12) I suppose I need to make a trip to Hawkins County Tennesse and see the original book)
I am sorry the info I have is so sketchy.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
