• Notes

  Early Adventurers on The Western Waters, Mary B.Kegley Volume III, part 1, page 312 (sketch of the Muse family which mentions lawsuit of Richard Muse against estate of his only brother, Thomas Muse. One deposition states that Richard and Thomas had half brothers John Chattan and Cornelius Deforest, and 2 half sisters, Betsy Deforest, wife of Daniel Lockett, and Louise Deforesst, wife of Willam Lockett.) ....William Locket may have been the same one who established Lockett's Chapel in Wayne County, KY, about 1800. A descendant stated that he married a DeForest and they had come fromVirginia. There was also a family story that the DeForest woman had been married before to a man (perhaps named Pepper) who made an extended trip to Europe. After a dozen years of silence he was presumed to be deceased. However, he did return and made a triip from Virginia to Wayne County to see if the Locketts were happy and if they were taking care of his daughter. When he learned that they were happy, he generously left the community without seeing his wife. Sometime later, she learned of his visit, but decided after much prayer and soul searching that her life was with Lockett, as they had children of their own (Johnson "A Century of Wayne County, p. 76-78). It is interesting to note that William Lockett's marriage to Louisa Butler appears in 1798 in Wythe County Marriage Book 1. Perhaps it was Butler who made the trip to Europe. The will of Cornelius Deforest appears in York County, Virginia in 1782 (information from James C. Spraker) We do know that Archibland, brother of William Lockett, appointed his brother then living in Wayne Co., KY, as attorney in fact to claim his part of the estate of their deceased father, Richard Lockett in Bedford County VA.......
