Capt. James Lockhart, Sr.

JAMES HORATIO LOCKHART

Spurious Pedigree

According to Yesterday Pages, James Horatio Lockhart is the son of Robert Lockhart and Anne Elphinstone. He is said to have been born in Scotland in 1647 and to have died in Colonial Virginia in 1711. Yesterday Pages: Descendants of Sir Allan Lockhart A number of copyists have followed this pedigree but it is quite wrong. The facts are these. Robert Lockhart was a merchant in Edinburgh. He married a woman named Anna Elphinstone, and while they did have sons named William and Harry, they did not have a son named James.

Anna Elphinstone was Robert’s second wife. His first wife was Anna Fleming. With her, he had six children, including a son named James Lockhart, whose baptism was registered at Edinburgh on 1 April 1647. However, this James Lockhart cannot be the same person as Captain James Lockhart because he died before 20 January 1661, the date upon which his body was interred in Greyfriars Burying-Ground in Edinburgh. Links to all the sources used can be found in the overview of Robert Lockhart, Merchant in Edinburgh It follows, therefore, that Captain James Horatio Lockhart is not the same person as James Lockhart

Story: Bio 2. Note: Notes for James Lockhart: I (Izzy Lockhart) think James Lockhart was born 1 Apr 1647 [Scots Origins Database, Scotland] ; my husband (Bill Lockhart) thinks James Lockhart was born around 1656 because of the seisin recorded in 1656. If James was born in 1656, he would have been too young (16) to have married Margaret Burnet in 1672. We just do not have enough data at this time (July 2001) to form an accurate decision regarding the birth of this James Lockhart. The following information is what we have obtained regarding the life of the James Lockhart of this time.

"James Lockhart, son of Robert Lockhart, merchant, Edinburgh," recorded a seisin "8 Jan 1656 , Vol. 3, Folio 426, Haddington, (?Berwick)." ["Edinburgh, &c. - Register of Sasines, 1654-1660," Index]

James Lockhart married 26 Dec 1672, Margaret Burnet in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. [Scots Origins Database, Scotland]

Lieutenant James Lockhart was a member of a regiment sent from England to America to quell the Bacon Rebellion in 1676. The rebellion was terminated before the troops arrived. Some soldiers returned to England, some remained in America. James Lockhart was one of the ones who remained in America.

"The Beginning, Progress, and Conclusion of Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia, In the Years 1675 and 1676," Washington, Printed by Peter Force, 1835. "Near this time arrived a small fleet with a regiment from England Sir John Berry admirall, Col. Herbert Jefferies comander of the land forces and Collo. Morrison who had one year been a former govern'r there, all three joined in comission with or to Sir William Barclay, soon after when a generall court and also an assembly were held, where some of our former assembly (with so many others) were put to death, diverse whereof were persons of honest reputations and handsome estates, as that the assembly petitioned the governour to spill no more bloud, and Mr. Presley at his coming home told me, he believed the govern'r would have hang'd half the countrey, if they had let him alone." .loc.gov/ammem/mtjhtml/tm.html

"Nicholas Gentry arrived in Jamestown, VA, 1677, in a regiment of Charles II Own Footguard, to bring the Bacon Rebellion to an end. The conflict was successfully terminated by forces within the colony before the troops arrived. The regime of Charles II subsequently went bankrupt, and only 400 soldiers returned to England. The rest, including Nicholas, were discharged and paid with worthless Spanish money. Thus the Gentrys arrived inauspiciously in America." [http://www.mesatop.com/cole/Nicholas_Gentry.htm]

ROBERT BEVERLEY ON BACON'S REBELLION,1704 Lieutenant General Ingram (whose true name was Johnson) and Major General Walklate, surrendered, condition of pardon for themselves and their followers though they were both forced to submit to an incapacity of bearing office in that country for the future. . . . Peace being thus restored, Sir William Berkeley returned to his former seat of government, and every man to his several habitation. . . . When this storm, occasioned by Bacon, was blown over, and all things quiet again, Sir William Berkeley called an assembly, for settling the affairs of the country, and for making reparation to such as had been oppressed. After which a regiment of soldiers arrived from England, which were sent to suppress the insurrection; but they, coming after the business was over, had no occasion to exercise their courage. . . . [http://www.ukans.edu/carrie/docs/texts/beverley.html]

"In February 1677 Lieutenant James Lockhart arrived in James City as a twenty-one year old career officer, only to find his mission terminated by Bacon's death the preceding October. In May 1677 Charles ordered these troops to Tangier, 'all save one hundred and such troops who desired to remain as planters.' Lt. Lockhart remained in charge of the 100 royal troops. He was promoted to Captain and continued in the Royal Colonial Army until his death in 1711. " [Robert Allen's words about Captain James Lockhart; source not given; quoted by Toni Alvarez in an e-mail message to John William Lockhart in 1997.]

(On (3.Note:) there seems to be some things that disagree with what was given as the birth/marriage/ and death of family. So I guess it still needs to be reviewed more for accuracy. Unfortunately this is all the info I have at this time will correct what ever it is when info comes in. It also seems that the links don't seem to work either. I will leave them also for now.
