Hi,
I am also researching the Lockhart family 1700's VA.You have to remember that schooling on the frontier was difficult.On the frontier, names were often spelled as they were heard.Once recorded a certain way the new spelling stuck.Lockhart with an eastern accent sounds deffernt than with a southern accent.Research all variations to find the records you need Variants I have seen:Lockett, Lockard, Lochard, Lochart are all same family.
