She was the wid. of Nathaniel Wyman, and dau. of Increase Winn, of Woburn, who was the first white child b. in Woburn. He resided at Woburn. His gr. fa. William Clarke in his will says', " my grandson John Locke who has been a liver with me many years, to him I give all my housing and lands in the Towne of Woburne " and " all my other estate of houshold and cattell ; " but his widow was to have the use of all his " housing and lands, houshold and other estate " during her life, excepting his " armes and implyments of weaving and his work hous the which " he " left in the hapds of his grandchild " whom he made his executor, and he obligated him to pay to the other heirs their proportion of the value of the estate. Shortly after the death of Mr. C. his widow leased to her grandson all the estate. Mr. Clarke's homestead was near Burlington line, a little westerly of the present house of J. Johnson, Jr., where the remains of the cellar are now visible in the field between Mr. Ahnson's house and the house of W. W. Colgate, near the pond. In 1693, John Locke sold John Walker, Jr. " Tailor," 9 acres near " Copper Mountaine," in exchange for' 10 acres " at a place called Long Meadow ; " in 1694, he sold Jacob Wyman 4 acres at " Maple Meadow," and in 1720, he sold to Nathaniel Kendall 22 acres for £60, at " Hog Swamp," bounded Southerly by Benjamin Simonds' ; Westerly by road leading to James Proctor's; Northerly by Joseph Reed's ; Easterly by said Reed and Locke ; in 1718 he sold Timothy Reed, housewright, 4 acres at " Little Rock Meadow ; " in 1734 he sold Timothy Winn 20 acres, bounded North and West on his own land, and elsewhere by land of Nathaniel Kendall, John Bruce and Ralph Reed. In 1714 he sold William Butler 32 acres laid out to William Clarke in the 4th range of great lots - bounded Easterly by John Mousal ; Westerly by Theophilus Rich ardson ; and Northerly and Southerly by the range lines. July 1750, he bought of Benjamin Wyman 30 acres, bounded Southerly on the highway ; Westerly on land of Benjamin and James Simonds and Edward Walker ; North by E. Walker ; Southerly by Peter and Jacob Wyman ; and Easterly by J. Wyman 3 and the highway, with the buildings thereon. Compensation " 550 pounds bills of credit." Aug. 1750, he sold his grandson John Locke, Jr. alias Kendall (a) for 264 pounds Lawful money and other considerations, 18 acres, part of his homestead with the buildings, bounded Easterly on the town road leading to the Meeting house ; Southerly by the county road, Westerly by his own meadow. Northerly by his own land called Walker's field; and by Jacob Wyman's ; - also 10 acres " called the old place," bounded Northerly by the county road ; S. E. by Israel Reed's ; Southerly by Thomas Reed's, and Westerly by said Reed's and Benjamin Simond's. Also 20 acres at " Hog Swamp," bounded Easterly by the town road, leading to the meeting house in the 2. Parish ; Southerly by James Simonds ; Westerly by Solomon Wood ; Northerly by said Wood and heirs of Nathaniel Reed ; and also all his " personal estate, excepting one cow and a heifer." His wf. rehnquishes dower. Feb. 1750, he sold Benjamin Wyman 12 acres near " Mineral Hill," bounded N. and W. by Edward Walker, James Simonds, Jr. and Benjamin Simonds ; S. by the land that was his homestead, and East by said Homestead and Jacob and Peter Wyman. And Nov. 25, 1751, it being the latest period I have found him named, he sold Nathan Wyman 4 acres at " Mine hill near Nathaniel Kendalls," bounded Easterly on the county road leading to Billerica ; Southerly on the town road leading to Edward Walker's house ; Westerly by John Bruce, and Northerly by " Mine Hill lot " and land of sd. Bruce. Besides what he had from his gr. fa. Clarke, his father had given him " housing and lands," which by will he " confirmed unto him." He and his wife died I suppose at Ijancaster, for in the journal of Capt. Abijah Wyman of that town, it is recorded " old Mr. John Locke and wife of Woburn died about Ap. 3, 1756," and I know not to whom this could apply but to them. At this time he would have been aged nearly 95. He is frequently mentioned on the town records, - was surveyor of highways in 1698, constable in 1702, 1706 and 1708, - fence viewer in 1712, - ty thingman, 1710, 1720 and 1725. He was sometimes styled weaver, at others husbandman.
