• Notes

  DANIEL LOCKE, 1. m. ABIGAIL , who d. at Acton, Nov. 22, 1750; 2. he md. Wid. DORCAS BRABROOK. Int. Nov. 17, 1751. She was the wid. of Benjamin Brabrook of Acton. Thefe is some reason to suppose that his first wife's name was Adams. He and his last wife d. at Acton. I have found no record of more than one child. He was owner of land in Lex. or Wob. in 1718, for at that time his father "for divers good considerations" conveyed to him " several parcels of land," a part of which was bounded on said Daniel's land. At the same time his brother Francis sold him for .£115 his interest in the house where he (Francis) resided, which was prob. a part of his father's house. At the same time he also sold him several parcels of land, including " a place for a tan yard" and " a convenient place for a tan house." In 1734, Daniel bought of Samuel Kendall, Jr. 10 acres in Wob. and 3 acres of Thomas Robins; and in 1738, after the decease of his father, the other heirs conveyed him 11 acres of his father's estate. In 1741, he purchased of James Cutter or Cutler for .£200, 30 acres in Lex. After the death of his mother, his brothers and sister conveyed to him for <£964, old tenor, four-fifths of their father's estate, being their shares in the same, and including the " mansion house and barn." This conveyance was made Mh. 27, 1749. May 24, 1750, he sold to William Porter, of Salem, 160 acres in Wob. and Lex. with his house, for £640. Up to this time he is called of Woburn, and styled a " Weaver," an occupation then common. Tfee property sold Porter was probably all his real estate in Lex. and Wob. Nov. 5, 1750, then of Cambridge, he bought of Thomas White 40 acres of land in Acton, and the same day 30 acres of Timothy Farrar, of Acton, " Innholder." He undoubtedly moved to Acton at this time, and his son Daniel went with him or soon after, for Ap. 2, 1751, he sold to Daniel, Jr., the estate purchased of Farrar. And on that estate Daniel, Jr. kept a tavern, it being the first tavern in Acton. In 1771, and again in Dec. 21, 1780, his wife Dorcas then living, he sold to Benjamin Brabrook, of Acton, probably son of his second wife, land in Acton. At this time he was 881 years old. He died at Acton, but when I know not.
