The book is available through the Locke Family Association. Check their website at http://people.ne.mediaone.net/ddhayes/index.htmlhttp://people.ne.mediaone.net/ddhayes/index.html
According to the book, there is a Benjamin Locke, born to Joseph Locke and Elizabeth/Lucy E. Rathbon. Both Joseph and his wife were born in R.I., and Benjamin was also born in R.I.
Joseph was born about 1734 to Joseph Locke (born Rye, NH, 1697) and Mercy Nixon. Joseph married Mercy Nixon in 12 Dec 1722, and about 20 Feb 1730-1, Thomas Rathbun of Block Island gave 'Marcy Lock' some land. Joseph and Mercy's children were born in Block Island.
The Joseph Locke (born Rye, NH, 1697) was a child of Nathaniel Locke (born 1661 in Hampton, NH) and Dorothy Blake.
Nathaniel was a son of Captain John Locke.
