LOCKE, Frederick
Frederick Locke was the son of Lieut. Joshua and Abi-
gail (Maynard) Locke and was b. at Westboro, MA on June
6, l758.  The family removed to Sudbury, MA where they
resided at commencement of the Rev. War. when the father
and son espoused different sides.  Joshua Locke had been
Ensign under Gen. Winslow in Nova Scotia in l755 and in
Gen Braddock's army where he was wounded at the time of
its defeat, and also a soldier under Major Robert Rogers
 the famous Ranger   These services had great-
ly attached him to the royal cause, and when the time came
that sides must be taken, he still adhered to the cause
of the King, while his son, Frederick and the other
members of the family, quite as heartily espoused the
cause of their country.  In the battle of Staton Island
the father and son met in the opposing armies and rec-
cognized each other.  The wife of Lieut. Locke returned
to the house of her father in Westboro, where she soon
after died, and he went to England.  It is said that he
was the only person by the name of LOCKE in America, who
did not espouse the cause of independence.

Frederick Locke had a great desire for a collegiate ed-
ucation and fitted for college at Leiscester Academy.
But feeling that his country needed his services, he
cheerfully gave up his studies and entered the army

the war he became a civil engineer and surveyor, as his
father had been before him.
