William Lock(e) 1756-1823 has fascinated me over the years.
There is much information about him, but little of this information is consolidated
into an easy to access format that is centralized.
Other Lock(e) Patriarchs have websites and much research on the Internet (for
example, Captain John Locke of New Hampshire www.lockefamilyassociation.org
impressive organization and information), but William Lock(e) seemed to have a
paucity of information easily available on the Web.
Don't get me wrong - many descendants have put many hours of genealogy
work into researching William Locke and his descendants. Many have contacted
me to suggest ideas, correct information, and make comments during e-mail
discussions, but unfortunately, this information is scattered among the
descendants and is often difficult to gather or confirm as each new descendant
becomes interested in researching.
So...knowing there is much information about William Lock(e) already out there,
but the information needs a centralized place to come together, I am setting up
this website.
To be sure, there are other websites on the Internet with information regarding
descendants of William Lock(e) -- created by descendants -- and I will list these
websites since they will likely be helpful for others. But I hope this website
becomes a centralized website for all things William Lock(e).
