His father, in his will, says, " with refference to my son James Locke I lett him go to work for himself to gett something to begin the world with, and also gave him about thirty pounds in money, to help him purchase his land and build upon it, so that I have given him his full portion already, and now I give him ten shillings more as a token of my love."

In 1699, Sep. 9, he purchased of James Converse, 46 acres in Wob. " near a place called the Pine Mountain ; " " bounded. South East by ye Woodland of Henry Gardner and Josiah Johnson, North East by ye Woodland of Josiah Johnson, North West by ye Woodland of John Carter, and South West partly by Cambridge line and partly by Woodland of John Carter." Also " twenty acres of swamp bottom, so called, with the liberty to take it up for himself, where the top is his own, according to an order of the Town of Woburn."

In 1715 he purchased of Josiah Johnson, ten acres of Woodland, bounded South Westerly on Cambridge and Lexington lines, North Westerly on said James Locke, North Easterly on land in possession of Widow Garner [Gardner .?] and South Easterly on Charlestown line. The following is from the Woburn Town Records, May 17, 1700. " Then layed out to James Locke of Woburn, 23 acres and a half where the top is his own already, at a place called Pine Mountain, on the South side thereof, near Cambridge line ; bounded by the Woodland of Josiah Johnson East ; South by ye Woodland that was Matthew Johnson's and Sam. Blodgett's, and the said James Locke's Woodland elsewhere, twenty acres thereof upon Samuel Converse's account, and three acres and a half given him by the proprietors of this town of Woburn, at their meeting, April 22, 1700." These tracts of land constituted the beginning of his homestead, and here he built his first house, a short distance from the house of his gr. gr. son Jonathan Locke, who resides near the West line of Winchester, formerly Woburn.

Mh. 7. 1708-9, James Locke was chosen " haward," and again, Mh. 3, 1711-12 ; and Mh. 3, 1717-18, Surveyor of Highways, and Mh. 2, 1718-19, Con- stable, "Feb. 12, 1719-20, reconed with Constable James Locke and he having paid into the Selectmen and their orders, with an order to Mr. Cotton . when paid ^10.1.0, the full of the list of the Town Rates committed to him to collect. Discharged in full thereof." (Wob. Rec.) Jany. 1745-6, his son James of Hopkinton was appointed Administrator on his estate — Inventory .£1370. Oct. 1747, the Commissioners appointed by the Court to make a distribution of his estate, made a Report which was sanctioned by the judge. One third of the Real Estate was set off to the widow, and the other two thirds to his son Jonathan ; he giving bonds to pay the other heirs their share, viz, to James — £146.6.8, to heirs of dau.

At the settlement Jonathan was allowed £280, for services rendered after he was twenty-one.

31 HANNAH LOCKE [47] m. THOMAS PIERCE, of Woburn, Nov. 5, 1722. He removed then, or soon after to Leicester, and in 1728, or before, he settled at Hopkinton. His wife was admitted to the church in that town in 1730, by letter from the Ch. in Leicester. She d. before Jany. 24, 1743, for at that date he md. Lydia Gibbs, of Framingham. In 1747, he was a resident of Framingham, where he d. between Feb. 22, 1768, when his will is dated, and April, 1768, when his will was presented for Probate.

[A very singular error was five times repeated on the Probate Records in 1747, when guardians were appointed to the chil. of his first wf., her father having deceased leaving the chil. property. In the records of the appointment of guardians, it is recited that they were " the children of Thomas Pierce late of Framingham deceased,'" when in fact he did not die till twenty-one years after. It was the wf. who had " deceased." By his 2d wf. he had in Framingham Elizabeth, b. Nov. 30, 1744, bap. at Hop. Dec. 9, 1744, (who md. Silas Haven of Hop. Ap. 25, 1771 .') Jonathan, b. Dec. 4, 1745, bap. Feb. 9, 1746, who md. Lydia ______ ; Mary, bap. Aug. 7, 174« ; (m. Amos Stimpson, July 1, 1772 .') Martha, bap. June 25, 1749 ; John, bap. Oct. 20, 1751 ; (ra. Mary Brown, of Concord, Mh. 3, 1773?) Mehitable, bap. July 31, 1758.]
