Locky Wester (orginally Westray)
Locky was born about 1792 North Carolina to Daniel Westray. At this time, I do not know his mother's name. It was through the contested will of his brother, Axum, who died unmarried in 1854 Franklin Co., Nc that we have any type of record of Locky's siblings. We do know that Martha's sister, Celia, married Locky's brother, Hudson Wester.
