CELIA ANN (SELA) SCALF
 Daughter of
John Scalf, Sr. & Edeah Carlisle
Celia A<John Scalf Sr<Lewis Scalf 
 

Celia Ann Scalf (aka Cealy and Sela) was born (according to census records) 1820-1825. Scalf Family History, page 180, lists Sela as being born 1821-1823. If Celia Ann was the last child born to John Scalf, Sr. and Edeah Carlisle Scalf, she was most likely born in Russell County, Virginia because this is where her family was living1820-1830. Sela was probably named for her aunt Ceely Ann Keziah (also listed in some records as Coziah) Scalf, wife of Benjamin Scalf, a brother to her father John Scalf, Sr. 

Of Sela's life, we know nothing until her marriage in 1836. We have reason to believe that her mother, Edeah (Edy) Carlisle Scalf was living with her in Knox County, Kentucky shortly before they both died.

It has been reported that Edy Carlisle Scalf was living with her son, Ira, in Knox County, Kentucky before her death; however, the author feels that Edy most likely stayed alternately with her children in Knox County as was customary for the times. Some records suggest she was in the home of her son, Peter Scalf, for a short time and other records suggest she was with her daughter, Sela Scalf Lockard, shortly before Sela died in 1859.

We first find information on the person we believe to have been Celia (Sela) Ann Scalf, (also known as Cealy Ann) from the marriage bond for her marriage in 1836 Clay County, Kentucky. Although it could be questionable whether this was John senior or junior’s mark on the bond, the author and Virgil Scalf both agree that this was John Scalf, Sr.

In support of this, we refer back to the marriage of Peter and Robert Scalf in October of 1835 in Clay County where their father, John Scalf, Sr. signed consent for their marriages. Logically, if their father signed consent for them in Clay County in October of 1835, he was likely still in Clay County in April of 1836 to sign the marriage bond and consent for his daughter, Celia (Sela) Ann Scalf. He was also missing from the tax list of Russell County, Virginia where he had been living until his move to Clay County, Kentucky sometime between the collection of the Russell County taxes in 1835 and the marriage of his sons in October of 1835 in Clay County, Kentucky. John was then missing from the 1836 Russell County, Virginia tax list, and was not found in Tennessee. However, a John Scalf does appear on the 1836 Clay County, Kentucky tax list and we feel certain this was John Sr. and not his son, John Jr. We also have found no evidence to suggest there was another Cealy Ann Scalf of this time frame in the Kentucky/Tennessee/Virginia area.

The most significant factor in determining that the signer of this marriage bond was John Scalf, Sr., is the mark made on Page 1 of the marriage bond of Cealy Ann Scalf. John Scalf signed his mark on the marriage bond with a (J) instead of the (X) most commonly used. We believe this mark confirms the signer (John Scalf) to have been none other than John Scalf, Sr.

In further support of this conclusion, note on Page 2 of the marriage bond the statement by Mr. Kinningham, “BY PERSONAL CONSENT OF THE FATHER of Cealy Ann Scalf.” In order for her father to give personal consent for this marriage, her father had to be present in Clay County, Kentucky April 6, 1836.

The signature on the declaration given at the courthouse in Hawkins County, Tennessee around 1838-1839 also lends support to the theory that the John Scalf that signed the marriage bond in Clay County, Kentucky was also the same John Scalf that signed the Military Declaration of Revolutionary War Service in Hawkins County, Tennessee. This John Scalf signed by mark (J) on both documents.

From the research of prior authors, we learn that John Scalf, Sr. and Edeah Carlisle Scalf were the parents of 16 children. The last child born to them was Celia Ann (Cealy) Scalf. We have found no other Cealy/Sela/Ceely/Celia Ann Scalf that fits the same timeframe as this Cealy Ann Scalf, and we feel certain that she was the daughter of John and Edeah Carlisle Scalf.   

However, the most confusing information from the marriage bond is the name of the future husband of Cealy Ann Scalf. Her “husband to be,” is listed as Thomas HUBBARD on the marriage bond and not Thomas LOCKARD. We know from other records that Cealy Ann Scalf was the wife of Thomas Lockard.

We know that Celia Ann Scalf, daughter of John Scalf, Sr., married Thomas Lockard/Lockhard/Lockhart. Of this we have no doubt due to the pension file of Thomas Lockard/Lockhard/Lockhart. In the pension file his deceased wife was named as Sela Scalf, and we know that Celia Ann Scalf (daughter of John Scalf Sr.) was known as Sela.

Cealy Ann should have been 15-17 years old at the time of her marriage in 1836, which coincides with the age of Celia Ann Scalf, daughter of John Scalf, Sr.; however, if Cealy Ann Scalf married Thomas Lockard, then who was Cealy Ann Scalf that married Thomas Hubbard in 1836 Clay County, Kentucky? 

The author cannot offer much in the way of speculation concerning this matter, because Celia Ann Scalf, daughter of John Scalf, Sr. was the only Celia (Cealy/Sela) Ann Scalf known to the family of this particular date.

In the book, Scalf Family History, by Elmer Scalf, Elmer states that Ann Scalf, daughter of John Scalf, Jr., married Thomas Hubbard in 1836 Clay County, Kentucky. However, in his book, Ann Scalf is listed with a birth year of around 1811. This is the only reference to a daughter of John Scalf, Jr. with the name "Ann" that the author has been able to find. Elmer does not state how he arrived at the conclusion that Ann was a daughter of John Scalf, Jr.

Elmer did, however, ask the author in our correspondence from 1989, if the author thought that Ann could have been the daughter of John Scalf, Jr. At the time of Elmer's question, the author had not studied the Clay County records, nor very many of the early family records and could not offer a reasonable opinion on this matter. Elmer stated in his letter that he was not sure who this Ann Scalf was. The author cannot determine in 2008 who this Ann Scalf might have been nor where the record of “Ann Scalf” could have been located that caused Elmer to think this was a daughter of John Scalf, Jr. The only record found at this point, is a marriage bond for Cealy Ann Scalf and Thomas Hubbard and from all appearances could only have been the daughter of John Scalf, Sr.

Cealy Ann Scalf is the only “Ann” Scalf found in Clay County, Kentucky with a marriage in 1836; therefore, the author must conclude that Elmer was confused and speculated this to be the daughter of John Scalf, Jr.

At this date (2008) the author has found no evidence to suggest that this was a daughter of John Scalf, Jr., or that John Scalf, Jr., had a daughter born around 1811 although it certainly was not impossible. The evidence strongly suggests this was Celia Ann (Sela) Scalf, daughter of John Scalf, Sr. and a sister to John Scalf, Jr., rather than his daughter. 

In 1837, John was missing from Clay County and was likely in Hawkins County, Tennessee where he applied for his Revolutionary Pension. His son, John Jr. is probably the John Scalf that appeared on the tax list in Russell County, Virginia in 1837 and 1838, moving down to Hawkins County, Tennessee by 1839.

Note that only one John Scalf appears on the 1836 Clay County, Kentucky tax list and is missing in 1837. On the 1837 Russell County, Virginia tax list, a John Scalf appears; however, it is believed that this was John Scalf, Jr. In his depositions for a military pension at Rogersville, Tennessee (Hawkins Co) John Sr. made the statement that he had moved from Clay County, Kentucky to Hawkins County, Tennessee although he did not state at what time this took place. The author believes this to have taken place sometime after the marriage bond of Celia Ann Scalf in Clay County, Kentucky and the enumeration of the tax list of the year 1836.

1836 and 1837 Clay County, Kentucky Tax Lists:

1836    Clay     Robert Scalf
            Clay     Peter Scalf
            Clay    John Scalf
            Clay     Jesse Scalf
            Clay     Ira Scalf

1837    Clay     Robert Scalf
            Clay     Jesse Scalf
            Clay     Peter Scalf


The author can only offer speculation as to what might have happened in Clay County, the day John Scalf signed the marriage bond and gave consent for his daughter’s marriage to Thomas Hubbard.

     1. Thomas Hubbard was a different individual from Thomas Lockard and the marriage was intended for Thomas Hubbard and Cealy Ann Scalf, but something happened that they did not go through with the marriage.

     2. Thomas Lockard was born Thomas Hubbard and later took the Lockard name or vice-versa.

     3. The clerk made a mistake concerning the surname of Thomas Lockard in Clay County, Kentucky that day.

 The author would appreciate any information - if anyone knows - concerning why Thomas Lockard was listed as Thomas Hubbard on this marriage record.

It should be noted here that the name LOCKARD can be found under various spellings in the records. LOCKARD - LOCKHARD - LOCKHART - LOCKERT- LOCKHERD, and even LOCHARD, just to mention a few. However, Joseph Lockard, a son of Thomas and his second wife, Alzya, stated that LOCKARD is the correct spelling.

The spelling of CELIA will also be found with various spellings in the records. CELY -CELIA - CEELY - CEALY - SEALY- SELY and SELA, among others. Cealy is the spelling listed on her marriage bond. 

It is the belief of the author that Sela Ann Scalf Lockard was probably named for her aunt, Ceely Ann Keziah Scalf, wife of her uncle Benjamin Scalf. However, we have no confirming records to determine which would be the correct spelling of Ceely Ann Keziah Scalf or Cealy Ann Scalf.  The author has used the spelling “Cealy” in this document for Celia Ann Scalf Lockard.  

Two years after the marriage of Thomas and Cealy Ann, around December of 1838 in Hawkins County, Tennessee, Thomas Lockard made a statement in support of the pension for his father-in-law John Scalf, Sr. In this statement Thomas stated that, "he had known John Scalf, Sr. for three years." (Chapter VII - Part 4 - John Scalf, Sr. - The Hawkins County Years-Scalf Family in America-Scalf Family Website).

If Thomas Lockard had been acquainted with the Scalf family for three years, this estimates a marriage date of Thomas and Cealy Ann around 1835-1836 and Cealy Ann would have only been around 14-15 years old if born in 1823. Only one Thomas Lockard is found in Hawkins Co. Tennessee in 1840, which would have been two years after his statement in support of his father-in-law's pension. If this is correct, Thomas and Cealy Ann's first child could have been born 1836 - 1838.

From the 1850 census of Knox County, Kentucky, we find Thomas and Cealy Ann with a son James M. Lockhard born 1837. The years do appear to coincide with the date Thomas gave in his deposition in support of the pension of John Scalf, Sr.

Three years after the signing of the marriage bond by Thomas Hubbard to marry Cealy Ann Scalf, Thomas Lockard signed a statement for John Scalf, Sr., in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Thomas Hubbard could not write and likely could not read. He signed his mark with an X that day in Clay County, Kentucky and the clerk might have made a mistake in writing Thomas’ surname without Thomas knowing his name was signed as “HUBBARD.”

In 1840, a Thomas Lockhart/Lockard was found living in Hawkins County, Tennessee and the author believes this was the same Thomas Lockard/Lockhard who made a deposition in support of his father-in-law's pension (John Scalf, Sr.) in 1838-39 at the courthouse in Rogersville, Tennessee.

The author has added names to the following census as speculation only until further proof can be provided to confirm that this is the family of Thomas Lockard and Sela Ann Scalf Lockard.

Keep in mind that Thomas and Sela married in 1836. Their son, James Madison Lockard, was born (1850 census) about 1837.

The Squires Ledger from Hawkins County, Tennessee listing the school population of 1844 -1846 shows that Thomas Lockard and family were still living in Hawkins County, Tennessee in the 2d Civil District during 1845 and 1846, and had one child of school age. Their son, James Madison Lockard, would certainly have been of school age in 1845.

Thomas was not listed in this ledger after the year 1846 and it is assumed he had moved back to Kentucky at this time.

1848 - Thomas is missing from the list.

Considering the affidavit of Thomas Lockard for John Scalf, Sr., along with the scholastic population of Hawkins County, Tennessee, we can assume that Thomas was probably living in Hawkins County, Tennessee from December of 1838 or 39 until at least 1846. He did not appear on the Hawkins County, Tennessee records after 1846. 

In 1850, Thomas and Sela were found in Knox County, Kentucky with a family of five children. Hiter or Heiter is listed as a male on this census but it has been stated by some Lockard descendents that Hiter was a female.  We have no information on Hiter to clarify this at this time.

Note the five-year span between the births of James and Noah in 1850. This time span indicates there could have been one or two children born/died during this time. In 1851, Thomas had five children listed at home on the tax list, which coincides with the 1850 census.

Thomas was found on the tax list of Knox County, Kentucky in 1850. It appears that Thomas did live out his life in Knox County, Kentucky for he was not found in Hawkins County, Tennessee after 1846.

In 1852 and 1853, only three children were home indicating that James and Noah had probably married at this time. However, by 1854, another child is added indicating another child was born 1853-1854. This brings the total children to six.

The 1856 tax list shows that another child had probably married 1855-1856 because Thomas now has three children in the home again.  The same number of children are in the home in 1857 and 1858 as well.

By 1859, once again there are four children in the home indicating that another child had been born 1858 - 1859. Thomas was the only male listed over 21 years of age on this tax list. This tax list reveals that Thomas and Sela had a total of seven children by 1859. This was the year that Sela died. However, we have no way of knowing if Sela was living when the tax list was taken or if she had died. We have no date for the tax list but Sela died in May of this year.

Cealy (Sela) Ann Scalf Lockhard/Lockard/Lockhart died May 23, 1859 in Knox County, Kentucky. Her cause of death is unknown for we have been unable to obtain a death record for Sela Ann. It is thought that she might have died in childbirth or due to complications of childbirth; however, we cannot confirm this. It is believed that her mother (Edy Carlisle Scalf) was also living in the home when Sela Ann died. The pension file of Thomas Lockard confirms Sela Ann's death date from several depositions made by various folks.

The Kentucky Register also records the death of someone whom the author believes to have been Celia Ann Scalf Lockard. The spelling of Clien is listed and is believed to have been a misspelling of Celia.  Thomas Lockard is also listed beneath the name on page 185. The surname is spelled Lockerd in the registry.  The pension file of Thomas Lockard confirms in several documents the same date of death for Sela Ann Scalf Lockard that appears on the Kentucky Register under the spelling of Clien Lockard, which also lends support to the fact that this is likely the same person. Her father’s name is listed in the Kentucky Register as John Scalf from Virginia.

After Sela died in 1859, Thomas and the children appear on the 1860 census of Clay County, Kentucky.

          Ardena F   5 1855 KY
          Sarah Jane F   3 1857 KY

The 1859 tax list shows four children between the ages of 6 and 16 still in the home of Thomas Lockard. The 1860 tax list suggests that another child had been born for Thomas is now listed with five children in the home. The 1860 census reveals that Sarah Jane was born about 1857.

Since Noah did not marry until 1862, we must assume that he was one of the four children in the home in 1859 and again on the 1860 tax list. The 1860 census shows Noah in the home. However, the tax list states "children between the ages of 6 and 16," and from census records Noah appeared to be over the age of 16. Therefore, we can only speculate that another child was born before 1860. There have been no other children found, however.

The Civil War brought turmoil for the country and Thomas, as did others, answered the call to battle. Thomas had lost his wife and probably left his children in the care of relatives when he joined Company I of the 7th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry (Union Forces). Thomas enlisted August 20, 1861 and was discharged March 7, 1863.

 No information has been found for Heiter/Hiter as of this date (2008); therefore, a section has not been added for Hiter at this time. Should we find information for Hiter, this chapter will be updated with the new information. 

The war had left Thomas disabled and sometime in the early 1880’s Thomas applied for pension benefits from his service for his disability. Although the author cannot find a specific date for this filing, a document in the pension file of Thomas states that Thomas was denied benefits on September 29, 1885. It was stated on the document that Thomas was denied for a fractured clavicle and chronic diarrhea. However, it was learned from the pension file of his son, Daniel Lockard, that the records of Thomas and Daniel had apparently been confused. Thomas did not have a fractured clavicle but did have chronic diarrhea.

Thomas’ Declaration for a Pension states that Thomas was 65 years old. The date of this document is simply 188__. The last number was not included and the date may have been 1880. In this document it is stated that Thomas fell from his horse and had a broken collarbone and chronic diarrhea. H. H. Hunter, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Knox County, Tennessee, submitted this document.
