LOCKE

I am trying to research the Meigs County, TN origins of my branch ofthe Locke Family. The Locke's that I am researching came from Meigs,and settled in the Indian Territory (now the state of Oklahoma) inthelate 1800's. I believe there were two, possibly three,. brothers whocame to Eastern Oklahoma after the Civil War. I am not sure of theirexact names, but one was called "Major" Locke. This "Major" Locke wasin the Civil War, but I don't believe he ever held the rank of Major.His brother might have been a Benjamin Locke, who held the rank ofCaptain, and is buried in Antlers, Oklahoma. Some of theirDescendants include: Victor Murat Locke, Elisha Sharp(e) Lock, ElishaFrank Locke, "Uncle Dick" Locke. Some of the Descendants marriedintothe Choctaw Indian Tribe, and became active in politics and Indianaffairs, and several held positions as either Chiefs, or possiblyBureau of Indian Affairs agents with the Choctaws. One of themfounded the town of Antlers, OK.

I'm looking for the wife of Lesly/Leslie MOYERS/MYERS who was bornabt. 1807 TN (Greene Co.?) md. (1) Indianna ?? They had childrenborn in Greene Co., Hawkins Co., Meigs/Rhea co. TN. She died in Meigsbef. 1860. Lesly remarried (2) Mary GREGORY/GREGARY. Who asIndianna? Was she Cherokee as I have been told, and if so can anyonehelp identify her surname or Indian name. Lesly MOYERS was mostlikely s/o Christopher MOYERS and Lydia WEST (her mother was a BYRD).I have been at a brick wall for years on Indianna's identity.
