EBENEZER LOCKE m. ELIZABETH ; I have never found her family name, the date of his birth, marriage, nor death, nor that of his wf. I have supposed that his mother was his fa. 2. wf. ; but think it is an error, as he would not have been old enough to have md. and had a son in 1717. He and his wf. covenanted with the Ch. in Lex. Ap. 28, 1717; and is prob. the Ebenezer who was " impressed " before 1746, with Jonathan Locke, prob. in the French war. He was living June 11, 1752, for he then sold Samuel Reed of Wob. 20 acres of meadow land in Wob., but must have d. before Mh. 9, 1765 ; his daus. with their husbands then conveyed to their bro. Ebenezer the " whole of their father's estate, both real and personal," for <£100. He resided on the place now occupied by the Wid. Duren, in the extreme westerly corner of Wob. in 1712, (then called Jr.) he bought of Daniel Bloggett for ,£40 " passing money " 17 acres in Wob. at " Rock Meadow Plain," bounded by Timothy Reed South and East; by George Reed, North, and Samuel Richardson, West; including "housing and timber," &c. In 1721-2 (then called Ebenezer 2d.) he bought of Edward Johnson, Jr. and Ebenezer Johnson, Jr. of Wob. for £30, 10 acres at." Rock Meadow Plain," in two pieces, bounded by Timothy Reed, William Locke, the " range lines " and his own land. In 1738, his brothers and sisters conveyed to him. part of their father's estate, viz. : 18 acres at " Rock Meadow Plain," bounded Northerly by William Locke, Westerly by Thomas Bloggett, Jr., Southerly by the Range way, and Easterly by Samuel Wyman ; 13J- acres bounded Northerly by Range way. Westerly and Southerly on a part of his father's farm and a dam, and Easterly on his own land ; lO acres called " Hill Pasture," bounded Westerly on his father's estate, Southerly on John Bloggett, Northerly on path leading to Timothy Reed's, and on said Reed's land, 4 and 3 acres bounded by other portions of the estate of his father. He probably built a part of the house now known as the Duren house.

Dea. WILLIAM LOCKE, Jr., [3] m. 1 SARAH WHITTMORE, May 29, 1683, dau. of Francis and Isabell (Park) Whittmore of Cambridge. She was b. Mh. 7, 1662, d. ; he m. 2. ABIGAIL HAYWARD, June 8, 1698 ; who d. his wid. probably 1748 or 1749. He d. July 8, 1738.

He was owner of land in 1683, and as early as 1689 owned a " hous " in the Westerly part of Woburn. In 1683 the Town of Woburn granted him " four acres to be laid out near his own land " and Mh. 3, 1700, there was granted him "four acres of land where the top is his own near Cambridge line, he paying to the Selectmen for the town use two shillings in money for every acre, he not to obstruct any highway or watering place according to a former order of the town."

He was a Deacon in 1709 - was a Selectman 1703-4 and 1732 ; and held many other offices in town. In 1728 he was one of a committee " to treat with Mr. Edward Jackson in order to settling in Woburn," and to supply the pulpit; and the same year one of a committee " to go to the Rev. Mr. Fox and see if they can make things easy with him." His name often appears on committees appointed in relation to " town affairs."

He resided in the second precinct of Woburn, on land which was included in Burlington when that town was incorporated in 1799. After his decease, on the petition of Thomas Locke his gr. son, a part of the estate was set off to Lexington including the house, making a notch into the South-westerly line of Burlington. A portion of the estate is that now owned by the heirs of Hammond Locke. The original estate, a part at least, was given to Dea. William Jr., by Dea. William Senior, his father ; and on the decease of the former in 1738, one half of the house and land was set off by the children to the widow for her tise instead of a dower, by agreement ; and at the same time the other half was divided between the children. Previous to this, in 1718, Dea. William had given his son Daniel several lots of land in Lexington and Woburn, and Francis another son at the same time conveyed to Daniel for £115 his "interest in the Mansion house" "where he (Francis) then lived," it being the Easterly end. This was probably a part of his father's house, that the father had before that time given him, including " a place for a tan yard " and " a convenient place for a tan house " and also several lots of land adjoining the father's estate. When his widow died I know not, nor how the property was settled ; but his son William became owner of the house and homestead, in part at least, and there resided.

William married Abigail Hayward 8 Jun 1698. Abigail died Abt 1748. [Group Sheet]
