Joseph Locke

Male 1664 - 1754  (89 years)

  • JOSEPH LOCKE m. 1. MARY , who d. Ap. 1707. 2. he m. MARGARET MEAD, dau. of Israel Mead of Woburn. 3. he m. HANNA PI PIERCE of Weston, Nov. 5. 1743, who d. Ap. 10, 1747. He resided in Cambridge, in that part now Lexington, where he d. 1754, a. 90.

    I have found much difficulty in procuring the records relating to this family ; some of the chil. were b. before the Incorporation of Lex. (1713) but the births are not to be found on the Camb, Rec. All but the two youngest chil. were bap. at Lex. Oct. 26, 1712, as appears by the Rev. Mr. Cook's Journal, and from the same source, (a) John Locke, Jr. alias Kendall, was son of his dau. Abigail whomd. Nathaniel Kendall, and he was permitted to take the name of John Locke on the petition to the Court, of his grandfather Locke in 1739, but his name was always written as above. I find that " a child of Joseph Locke, d. 1695 ; " "a son Mh. 30, 1706 ; " and " a child Ap. 7, 1707 ; " but no Christian names are given, and whether they were any of those whose names are given below, I cannot say.

    His farm was principally at Cambridge Farms, now Lexington, and probably adjoined his bro. William's. Mh. 26, 1695, his ftither gave him 20 acres, at a place called " Cambridge Farmes," containing, a mansion house, barn and " outhousing, orchard, fields," &c. ; bounded by Capt. Cooks ffarme S. E., Joseph Simonds W., and " a lott that was Thomas Browns N." - Also eight acres of Woodland (so called,) that is the wood and timber, " not the soyle," bounded by Camb. town line, S. W., Thomas Kendall, N. W. and Capt. Carter's lott S. E., and by woodland of William Locke, Senr. N. E. - also four acres at " Bull Meadow," bounded by Camb. line S. W., William Clarke N. E., " and by the upland in all other places." In 1715 he bought of Thomas Mead, Execr. of his father Israel Mead, (prob. the brother and father of Locke's wf.) " one half of that whole messuage, or tenement lately in the possession of said Israel Mead," situated in Lex. for .£82.10. In 1712 he sold Timothy Reed of Woburn, (prob his son in law) 5 acres of meadow near the house of sd. Reed, being a part of " Little Rock Meadow," bounded W. by sd. Reed, S. by John Locke, East by Eleazer Kendall, and West by Samuel Nevers. In 1717 he sold Robert Fiske " Weaver " of Lex. two acres in Lex ; - in 1733 he sold his son Joseph for £200 " bills of credit," " and partly in consideration of .£240, to be accounted towards his portion," 15 acres in Lex. bounded S. E. by the town way ; S. W. by Dr. Fiske ; N. W. by Daniel Tidd ; N. by Joshua Simonds, and elsewhere by his own land. Also 10 acres bounded by his own land ; and the W. half of his " Mansion house " and barn, and half of 12 acres in Woburn, bounded S. W. by Lex. line, and elsewhere by Samuel Kendall and Samuel Locke. In 1742 he sold Joseph for £60, and other considerations, half of 32 acres in Woburn, bounded S. W. by " Bull Meadow ; " Westerly and Northerly by Lex. line to Dea. George Reed's land ; and Esty. by sd. Reed. In 1746 he sold his son Stephen half of 60 acres in Lex. and half of 322- in Woburn. His house is supposed to have stood where the house of his gr. gr. gr. son William Locke now stands near the house of William Gibbs, Esq. It was taken down about 1830, the estate having been owned by his descendants to the present time. The land on which the house of Charles Locke (near William's) stands, was a part of the old farm. Amos and Reuben Locke, cousins, and gr. sons of Joseph, Senr. both resided at the old house.
