Moses Lockhart, Sr.
Moses Lockhart, Sr. was born near Romney, Hampshire County, Virginia, in 1788. He was married in Virginia to Phoebe Morgan, daughter of Hugh Morgan, of Wayne County, in 1812. He came to Ohio in 1813, settling in Franklin Township, on the farm where his son Moses now lives, where he entered 400 acres of land, all in woods and prairie bottoms of Killbuck. The cabin was built near the site of the present house, the latter built in 1820. Here Moses Lockhart lived until his death in March, 1839. He had six children, four of whom survived him--three daughters and Moses Lockhart, Jr., the bachelor, now residing on the old farm. Elizabeth, the wife of James Moore, of Clinton Township, is one of the surviving daughters. Moses Lockhart, Jr., was born April 14, 1821. His grandfather, William Lockhart, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, participated in the battle of Brandywine, etc., and died in Warren County, Ohio.
