GOVERT LOCKERMAN or LOOCKERMAN came from Holland when 17 and became a 
wealthy merchant at New York, whence he was banished three times by Gov. 
Peter Stuyvesant on account of political differences. A son removed to 
Maryland and a grandson went thence to Dover, Del., where stands the old 
family mansion. Nicholas Loockerman, of this place, was three times 
married and was connected with the prominent families of Delaware. His 
son Vincent was the father of Sarah Emerson Loockerman, wife of Nicholas 
Gilpin Williamson.
