Notes
a. Continued:   Walter was apparently orphaned when he was about seven years old. He was raised by his grandfather William LOCKETT and his uncle Jerry in Trousdale County, TN. I have absolutely no idea what caused him to go down to Lawrence County, but I guess it is a good thing he did, else none of us would be here. He never bought land there and I can find nothing to indicate what he did for a living. He died too young to have made much of a mark in the world.
b. Continued:   Many years ago, with help from some local people, I found Walter Lockett's grave in an old abandoned graveyard. Of course, I didn't have a camera. Some months later when I went back, the cemetery had been vandalized and his stone was in pieces.
