Andrew Jackson Lockhart was born January 10, 1837 in Grundy County TN. His parents were John C. Lockhart and Sallie Walker.

When the war broke out he joined up with the 5th Cavalry battalion under Captain Glover. His unit would be consolidated into the company H of the 8th (Smith's) Tennessee Cavalry. During his war service he was in many raids, skirmishes, and battles that included Fishing Creek, and Murfreesboro.

Before the battle of Chickamauga, he was taken prisoner by the federals at Dunlap Tennessee. He was sent to Nashville for two months then to Camp Chase Ohio and later to Rock Island Illinois.

While in prison, he endured the cruelty of northern prisons. He was provided with little cover subjecting him to the cold weather. They were given very little food so he and the other prisoners had to resort to eating rats and red worms. He had enough of prison life and took the oath of allegiance on October 3, 1864.

After the war he returned to Dunlap, TN. and started farming and making brick for the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company. He was active in the United Confederate Veterans for many years. He made his home in Tracy City and married Elizabeth Pankey.
Andrew Jackson Lockhart died on December 11, 1911.
