Lockley was an Ann Arbor, Mich., resident, a colonel in the 1st Michigan Infantry. His papers (1861-1866) include diaries, transcriptions of diaries, maps of battles in which he participated, including the first and second battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, and miscellanea, also include a copy of a report by Lt. Colonel Benjamin D. Pritchard on the capture of Jefferson Davis and other Confederate leaders by the 4th Michigan Cavalry.
Col. Geo. Lockley was my step great-great grandfather. According to his obituary in the Saint Ignace Republican, he was buried near the flag flying above the old fort, on Mackinac Island. Presumably, this was in the military cemetery, with graves from the war of 1812. However, when I visited there for a re-dedication of this cemetery sometime during 1995-1999, the caretakers did not know the whereabouts of his grave. Rich Biggs, [email protected]
