Samuel Locke

Other Events:

• LockeID: F159

Notes:

F159 Samuel Locke, b. , m. Lucy Bill. I do not propose to reject any tradition such as that Jonathan Locke, b. 1705, had a posthumous child, Jonathan, only, but I do feel warranted for several reasons in placing this Samuel as a possible son of Jonathan, rather than leave him among the unknowns. First, Jonathan was in or about Providence when "Samuel son of Jonathan" was born 1725-30. Second, Jonathan, Sr., had brothers of similar names to Samuel and his known descendants. Third, A Rhode Island Locke of our known branch writes that his mother used to visit a distant relative Mary Burt Locke or Mar>' Bird Locke as he recalls the name.

------------

There is an error in Arthur H Locke's book. AHL had identified the mother of Nathaniel's wife Dorothy Blake as Deborah Dawlton, which has a variant spelling of Dallton. The mother's maiden name was actually Deborah Everard, and it was Deborah Everard's mother who was a Dalton.

Notes:

Captain John Locke was probably baptized in London, England, Sept. 16, 1627, married about 1652, Elizabeth, the daughter of William and Jane Berry, and was killed by the Indians Aug. 26, 1696, in Rye, N. H. Elizabeth the widow was living in 1708 when the estate was settled and the children given below shared in its distribution. Several old papers prepared by descendants born about 1735, give the entire family, and in the following order. As first names only were given it is impossible to determine whether the girls were married, or to whom married at that time (1708) but we know nearly all were. -- Locke Genealogy 1916
