Description

Book III brings the series to completion through an extensive genealogical and historical examination of the Locklear families and their central role in Robeson County's American Indian community. This volume documents multiple generations using variant surnames, land grants, military records, church registers, court cases, and oral histories. Beginning with early immigration and settlement, the narrative follows family movement across North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond, highlighting service in major wars, community leadership, education, and caregiving. The book also places genealogy within a broader social framework by documenting Indian churches, schools, soldiers, medical caregivers, and cultural leaders. Book III affirms identity and legacy, concluding the series with a declaration of existence, resilience, and continuity. Together, the three volumes preserve not just family histories, but the voice of a people.
