Note for: John Locke, 15 Sep 1627 - 26 Aug 1696 Index
Individual Note:
John Locke settled in New Hampshire about 1640. He was a farmerandcarpenter, and reportedly built the first church in New Hampshire.Hewas also a Captain in the Militia. While working his homestead inRyehe was killed by Indians. The Indian was shot by his son, whowashelping his father at the time. The lot of land which his housestoodhas been reserved by the town and enclosed by a stone wall.Amonument to him exists in Rye that reads "In memory of Capt. JohnLockewho came from Englad to the shores about 1640. He was killed byIndiansAugust 26, 1696 at the age of 70 years, while reaping hisfields in LockeNeck "this town"."
The same area has a placard telling about the area. "Locke'sNeck. Namedfor Captain John Locke who settled here before 1665 withhis wifeElizabeth Berry. Born in London in 1627, he landed inPortsmouth, NH andaccording to tradition framed the first meetinghouse there about 1654. Asa Captain of Militia, he was noted for hisdefensive actions againsthostile Indians. He was killed here August26, 1696 by Indians as heworked in his fields with only a sickle fordefense. His sons andgrandsons were instrumental in the creation ofthe Parish of Rye in 1726."[Erected by the Locke Family Association1984] This area has been calledJoselyn's Neck, Locke's Neck andStaw's Point. In 1978 Rye's annual townmeeting officially named this are Locke's Neck in honor of the pioneerfamily.
Baptised in London, September 16, 1627. Killed by Indians 8/26/1696.According to Locke, p. 1, John is very likely Thomas Locke's son based oninformation in the London White Chapel Register. Thomas had two sons,John and Nathaniel, who were baptized in London and it is very likelythat they are the two Lockes of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. There is norecord of the arrival of John and Nathaniel. Elizabeth and John lived fora time in Portsmouth, though he probably settled on this land in 1666without permission of the town. Later, they settled on Jocelyn's(Locke's) Neck in what is now Rye.
From Locke, p. 6,7: "He was noted for the daring and success with whichhe fought the Indians, foiling their many attempts to destroy thesettlers, hence was correspondingly hated by them. On one of their raidsfrom the east, landing on the coast near Locke's Neck, they concealedtheir canoes in the bushes and went inland to surprise their intendedvictims. Locke discovered the canoes and cut generous slashes in themwhere the cuts were not seen at first glance. The Indians returning fromtheir murderous expedition, pushed off only to find themselves sinking,thereby losing nearly all their plunder, stones, and arms and making itnecessary for them to escape overland, suffering many hardships andlosing some of their band. Later, a party of eight came from the eastwardwith the express purpose of killing Locke and, surprising him as he wasreaping grain in his field, mortally wounded him with his own gun, whichhe had left against a rock at some distance away. They then returnedwithout doing further damage. One account says that when the Indians ranup to scalp Locke, the latter had strength enough left to cut off thenose of one with the sickle he had been using; which act was seen by oneof his sons who had secreted himself in the grain."
In reference to the killing of John Locke, Roy, p. 5, says: "Yearsafterwards, his son met a noseless Indian in Portsmouth. While they bothrecognized each other, we know not what ensued."
