Looks like a Kentucky rifle made by a gunsmith trained in the European tradition! Lots of German/ European immigrants came here in the 1830’s-1870’s, maybe a few were gunsmiths. Nice find, with the bolster instead of the drum for the nipple. Someone on here will know more than I.

Comes out of the W. Virginia area. The name on the lock means nothing. Look on top of the barrel. Is it carved?
It may be worth 3 to 4k if it's carved, maybe more. It's probably about 1840ish

Don’t clean it or use any abrasive on it! No steel wool to scrub the name that maybe on the barrel. That will lower the value.
