About Christopher Locke

- Thomas Locke d. anno 1507 m. Joan Wilcock d.1512 ch: 1. John, 2. Sir William d. 1550 m. 2 wives 1st Elizabeth Spencer, 2nd Catharine, daughter of Wm. Cook, 3. Michael, 4. Thomas (probably son) m. Mary.
- 3. Michael Locke, younger brother (a) of Sir William, children: 1. Matthew
- 1. Mathew Locke, ch: 1. Richard and 2. Christopher
- 2. Christopher Locke, the youngest son children: 1. Christopher, 2. John, 3. Honour, 4. Christian, 5. Lewis.
- 5. Lewis Locke, baptized 13th July 1606; was buried at Taunton Saint Mary Magdalen, March 27, 1692. By four wives he had thirty-five children, most of whom lived to be men and women; and what is more remarkable, his eldest son John, born 1625, was fifty-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 old as his younger brother; which is, perhaps, the chief reason why this branch of the family cannot truly ascertain their respective degrees of kindred. It is, however, generally believed, that all the Lockes of Somersetshire and Devonshire derive themselves from this Lewis; but whether so or not, we know that Allen, one of the younger sons by the last wife, was father of another 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 in Taunton, the youngest being a Master of Arts of the University of Oxford, also one daughter not yet married.

- In a note on page 343, I commented on the statement made in the Gentleman's Magazine, that Michael Locke, the Father of Mathew of Pensford, was a younger Brother of Sir William, while other authorities had spoken of him as a son of Sir William. The principal reason that has influenced my opinion in favor the the statement in the Gent. Mag. is that the Michael Locke who was son of Sir William had three sons, Zachary, Benjamin, and Eleazer, and several daus., and that although these three sons speak of each other and their sisters in their wills, no mention is made of a bro. Matthew. On this Hypothesis, the descent of Matthew is represented by the dotted line.
