Jane LOCKHART was born 1746 in Augusta County, Virginia the daughter Jacob Lockhart Sr of Scotland and Mary Elizabeth Cohown Lockhart of Pennsylvania.
Jane was baptized on 28 Aug 1747 in Old Stone Church, Lewisburg, Augusta County, Virginia.
Jane had four siblings Lt James, Jacob Jr, Elizabeth "Elsie" and Levy Peter Lockhart.
Jane Lockhart married Capt. Mathew Arbuckle in 1768. Capt. Mathew Arbuckle was born 1740/1741 in Scotland. Jane Lockhart and Capt. Mathew Arbuckle had the following children, Charles Arbuckle born 1768 and John Arbuckle born 1771.
I have read several accounts of her death, one that she died a month after giving birth to John. Another that she died in 1781, 10 years later.
The fact that she only has the two children is a point in favor of the 1771 date. In those days left with small children, men tended to marry soon after their wives died. He would probably not have waited twelve years. If her children were older John being about ten, Mathew could take a little time.
