Welcome to the Locke Family discussion group. Please let us know how you are related to the Lock surname, so we can get to know one another and get some discussion going.

I am a descendent of Nathaniel Locke and Judith Hermins, who came during the 1600's. As soon as I get organized I will post information about them.

I am not a member of the LOCKE family or a descendant thereof, however, during the course of transcribing Ships Passenger Lists for a client yesterday I came across information which may be helpful/useful to those who are interested in 'LOCKE'.
1922: Among the passengers boarding the "NIKKO MARU" travelling from the port of Yokohama (Japan) to Sydney (Australia) on 5 February 1922 is a Bishop CE LOCKE.

My wife's family comes down from Reverend Jacob Locke, b. 24 Aug 1767, Hanover Co., Va. d. 18 Jan. 1845, Barren Co., Ky., who married Margaret P. Jett 09 March 1787 in Va. They had 9 children. Would like to talk to anyone who is researching this line.

I am also descended from Reverend Jacob Locke and Margaret P. Jett. I would like to know if any has made progress on this line...

Good day m'dears.
My connections with the name LOCK are based on the Isle of Wight in the UK.

My great grandfather, Lutherran Rev, John Abner Locke Miller, of Rowan Co., N.C., wed Mary Ann Pinkston. His father was Capt Alfred Alexander
Miller, Co. K, 45th N.C Troops. Son of John Cyrus Miller (1811 Cabarrus Co., 1893 Rowan Co.) and first wife Sophie Propst, the daughter of Henry Propst, Jr., and Catherine Cress. I suspect the Hall connection is via Capt. Miller's wife, Mary E. or C. Hall, who's brother Pvt/Capt "Squire" Abner Leander Hall first wed Capt. Miller's sister, Susan Rebecca Miller.

Mrs. Mary E. or C. Miller and "Sqire Hall's parents were Issac Anderson Hall and Marry "Polly" Elliott. Mrs. Miller inherrited from rich uncle Solomon Hall (many slaves). Rev Locke Miller's, Locke forbear is a cypher. I suspect the connection is via Col. Francis Locke or his bother George Locke? Jim Miller, Southport, N.C.

I am researching my wifes family of locke/lock family and will be glad to share any info i have. Her lock line begins with Leonard lock 1658-1711 in somerset county England an from there to Pa,N.C,Ga,Fl. What i am most interested in is her G.G.Grandfather James Calvin Lock who married Tabitha Cheshire an her mother was Tabitha hall who i am trying to prove that she is the daughter of Thomas hall jr. They went from N.C, To Ga, To hamilton county florida where she married the next door neighbor John R. Cheshire in 1828. She was either born in N.C. or Ga. abt. 1810.

My Locke connection is with;
- William Locke, b. 1559, Bridport, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, married Elizabeth Talbot, b. 1563, Bridport, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, My line is decends with Edith Locke, b. 1587, Brockhampton, Herefordshire, England, United Kingdom, d. 10 May 1636, Bridport, Dorset, England, United Kingdom. She married John Macomber, 1585-06 Jul 1650, Bridport, Dorset, England, United Kingdom.

My Hall family of circa 1840's Rowan Co., N.C., had a female who had an out-of-wedlock child and was sent to live with Dicky family kin in S.C. to have the child. Since this was not my branch, I did not pursuer it. I think I came across it in N.C. State Archives, Raleigh, in the Rowan Co. bastardy bonds?
