Hi Jan, Glad Susan informed you of the James Markham and Elizabeth Locke genealogy she has compiled from information given by members of the Markham Mailing List. I have minor differences on a few dates and place, but mainly wish to point out what I consider a major difference. The parents of Elizabeth Locke are (Deacon) William Locke and Mary Clarke. Their son, William Locke, born 18 Jan 1659 was the one who married Sarah Whitmore. Though I haven't done the research myself, these are the sources of information I am using: 1. FamilySearch International Genealogical Index (http://www.familysearch.org) for all above names. 2. FamilySearch Pedigree Resource File submitted by Robert N. Halsted, 606 Old Indian Mound Trail, Sun Prairie, WI, 53590 and found on Pedigree Resource File Compact Disc #6, Pin #538316 for family. 3. A book giving the Descendants of William Locke of Woburn, Massachusetts on the website http://www.heritagebooks.com/thismo.htm which states, "William Locke, Sr. is the immigrant ancestor of the Locke family...He made the voyage to America with relatives on the ship "Planter," embarking March 22, 1634. He settled in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, and wed Mary Clark (b. 1640) in 1655. Between 1657 and 1681, she bore nine children and died July 18, 1715. William died in Woburn on June 16, 1720, at the age of 91." This quotation is taken from the book, "Descendants of William Locke of Woburn, Massachusetts, and costing $35.50. The book has not been purchased by me. 4.The web site http://micromagic.net/~nmcarter/dat2.htm also indicates that William Locke, was born 28 Jun 1684 at Woburn, Mass. to William Locke and Sarah Whitmore. This latter William Locke was born 18 Jan 1659 at Woburn to (Deacon) William Locke and Mary Clarke. The date of birth of the (Deacon) William Locke is 13 Dec 1628 at Stepney Parish, London, England. This is almost all the information I have. -Lois
