Senator John Lockhart

I came across a John Lockhart who was a senator in the state of Kansas in 1861 (click here to see him recorded in the Senate Journal). However, I don't know if he was any relative of mine or not yet. The candidate I have is John Wesley O'Dell Lockhart, son of Josiah Lockhart and Nancy O'Dell, who moved to Missouri and died there in 1883. But I do not know if he spent any time in Kansas or if he was in the state senate there.
