I do find the reference to the surname Lockhart interesting because Dicey
Ray Perkins, daughter of Aaron Ray and granddaughter of John Rae/Ray and
Mary Bolon, gives a Ruth Lockhart as her friend and her husband, William
Gantt Perkins lists Benjamin Lockhart as his friend in 1870. Probably
just coincidental but who knows.
