- My great-grandfather, Elijah Mercer had a sister, Rachel N. Mercer (Messer) born Jan 12, 1835 in Lincoln Co. Tenn. She married William Harrison "Bill" Lokey (her father's blacksmith apprentence) when she was only 15 years of age. When the Messer family moved to the Ripley, MS area, she and her husband moved too. They eventually had 14 children. One of their children was named Jesse John (called Jack)Lokey born 1859 in Tippah County, MS. Their other children were Willie, Sally, Jennie, Wesley, Lou Cinda, Amos Wiley, Dora born 1877, Caldona, Mattie, CB born 1867, Robert Edward "Bob" Lokey, and James P. "Jim" was born in 1859 and was a doctor and had two sons, James and George who grew up in Texas. If you think this is your family, I can give you lots of info on Jack's family and connect you with real live cousins. A Lokey family renunion in Mississippi is scheduled for October 2000. Let me know if you think this is your family. Sharon
