    I really like this Memorial of my maternal gg-grandmother, Abagail. It is very nice work with lots of information I appreciate seeing. Thank you. Betty


  • Story: Abigail McLennan Fokes

    Abigail McLennan was 68 in 1850 according to the 1850 Milam and Williamson district in the Co. of Milam, TX on September 19, 1850.<br><br>Locklin Cemetery Historical Marker<br>Location: from San Gabriel, 1 mi. S. on FM 486, San Gabriel<br>Erected in: 1994<br>Marker text: Abigale McLennan Fokes acquired a Mexican land grant here in 1835. Peter M. Mercer established a blacksmith shop in this area in the early 1840s. His burial is the first recorded in this cemetery. Fokes later set aside this site for cemetery purposes. The cemetery is believed to be named for the extended family of early area settler William Lawson Locklin. It presently contains about 400 burials including many of this area&#39;s frontier settlers and their descendants and veterans of the Texas revolution and Republic of Texas Army. It continues to serve the area. (1994).<br><br>Story written about Abagail McLennan Fokes in Letter From &quot;Pete&quot; Locklin (Bandera, TX) to James Lee Locklin dated 8/24/1955<br><br>My Great Grandmother Abagail Fokes came to Texas on Mar. 1st 1835 and settled on the west side of the San Gabriel River in the Sterling P. Robertson Grant receiving a league &amp; labor of land, a league being three miles square, &amp; granted for grazing purpose, &amp; a labor being 160 acres for farming purpose.<br>She was originally from N.W. Florida &amp; had started for Texas &amp; gotten into central Georgia when her husband got notice that he was wanted back home to finish off some business. He left his family in Georgia &amp; went back &amp; was killed on his return trip. His widow waited several weeks before getting word of his death &amp; proceeded to Texas without him where she settled on the grant already arranged for. She had six children.<br>(names not legible in letter except for John, &amp; Charles) and a daughter named Mary who married a man by the name of Fulcher &amp; by him had one son. Whom I knew as Uncle Bud Fulcher, I do not know if there were other children or not, I also believe that Grandma Fokes had another daughter whom we knew as Aunt Katherine Anderson, but I am not sure of this. Also one who married Alf. B. Lovelace.<br>During the Texas Revolution, the Indians became so troublesome that she &amp; the other settlers were forced to move east to the more settled communities where she stayed about two years &amp; then returned to her home.<br>Upon returning home, she found that Peter Mercer had built a fort on her land. This was known as Mercer&#39;s Fort &amp; he had built it on her land thinking he was on his own grant. Peter Mercer was killed at this place in June 17, 1844 by a supposedly friendly Indian &amp; was buried in what is now known as the Locklin Cemetery &amp; was most probably the first person to have been buried there. 1844<br>It was my understanding that Peter Mercer was Great Grandma Locklin&#39;s brother &amp; that he had two brothers who came to Texas with him in 1828, John &amp; Jesse Mercer, the latter two fought at San Jacinto. Other relative who also settled in the community were Neil &amp; John McLennan. The latter was know as &quot;Bosque John&quot; and he spent considerable time with the Bosque Indians &amp; McLennan county was named for Neil McLennan &amp; he served as the first county judge of that county. The McLennans, John, Neil &amp; Laughlin, were brothers of Abagail McLennan Fokes. Laughlin was killed by the Indians &amp; Bosque John was his son &amp; was captured by the Indians. They were cousins of Grandma Fokes Great Grandpa. Wm. Lawson Locklin came to Texas in 1840 bringing a family of 6 sons &amp; 9 daughters. They came from around Macon, GA. The sons were my Grandfather Alteman L. Locklin, who was the oldest son &amp; possibly the oldest child, the other sons were Wm. Lawson Locklin, Jr., known as Uncle Tamp because of his close association with a friendly Indian know as Tampo, he moved to Sherwood about 1880 &amp; died there, Uncle Jim Locklin (J.Z. Locklin), Uncle Bunk Locklin (T.J. Locklin), Uncle Alfred Locklin &amp; Uncle Jesse Locklin. The latter two I know nothing of as I understand they died before I was born, but both served in the Confederate Army. Jesse Locklin never married &amp; I understand that Alfred Locklin had children, but I know of only one known as Little Sam Locklin, but know nothing of where they went to or if there were other children. Uncle Alfred served as government wagon master hauling supplies to the frontier forts during the Indian trouble.<br>I also belive that Uncle Tamp Locklin served in the Confederate Army, but am not sure of this. (9/15/70 - he did not).<br>Uncle Jim Locklin served in the Confederate Army in the Sibley Expedition into New Mexico, &amp; participated in all major engagements there &amp; I am of the impression that Uncle Bunk did too, altho I never heard him say, but I am about Uncle Jim did as he told me of it. (9/15/70 - He did not being too young.)<br>Grandpa Locklin (A.L.) served with the early Texas Rangers, if not the first &amp; was given two sections of land in Erath County for this service, but we were never able to learn what disposal was made of them.
