William and Rachel LOCKRIDGE were natives of Augusta County, Virginia  and were there married. They emigrated to Indiana in 1830, and  settled in Walnut Township. They brought 7 children: Eliza,  Harvey, John, James, Isabella, Margaret and Rebecca. After  building and clearing about 60 acres, Wm. Lockridge died, July  26, 1846. He had served in the War of 1812, and his father was  wounded at the battle of Cowpens, in the Revolution. His wife died about 1843.
