Some sources say that Nathaniel and Dorothy had as many as 19 children and that 16 lived.  I’m sure I’m missing some.

 

Son Nathaniel’s 1st wife Abigail and his sister Deborah (Locke) Buckman with her infant were lost at sea while traveling from Casco Bay to Cape Ann or Boston in 1735.

 

I have some information regarding a line of descendents from son Samuel Locke and his wife Jerusha leading toward family settling in New Glarus, Wisconsin.
