Individual Details
(13 Jul 1606 - 27 Mar 1692)
Lewis Locke, baptized 13th July 1606 ; was buried at Taunton Saint Mary Magdalen, March 27, 1692. By fourwives he had thirty-five children, most of whom lived to be men andwomen ; and what is more remarkable, his eldest son John, born 1625, wasfifty-nine years of age, when his youngest son Christopher was born at Taunton,anno 1684. It is reported in the family that John had a great-grandson as oldas his younger brother; which is, perhaps, the chief reason why this branch ofthe family cannot truly ascertain their respective degrees of kindred. It is,however, generally believed, that all the Lockes of Somersetshire andDevonshire derive themselves from this Lewis ; but whether so or not, weknow that Allen, one of the younger sons by the last wife, was father ofanother Allen who was father of the present Mr. Thomas Locke of Taunton,Maltster, who has six sons, three of whom are settled in London and three inTaunton, the youngest being a Master of Arts of the University of Oxford, alsoone daughter not yet married. .... etc.
