From "Heritage of Perry County" by W. Stuart Harris, pages 29-30:
Born in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1800, John Lockhart moved to Athens, Georgia when but a lad of 12 years. In 1826 he came to Marion and erected a small log store. Finding this trade to be dull, he left the store in the hands of his brother, James, and moved to Pensacola where he traded along the Gulf Coast and on the island of Cuba.
After sowing some wild oats, John Lockhart returned to Marion in 1829, increased his volume of business, and engaged an additional clerk, Pig Lockett.
On August 6, 1829, Lockhart married Emily Rolfe Brame, a former Virginian, the daughter of Judge G.M. Brame. He became a lawyer in 1833.
