William’s son, William Locke (or Deacon William Locke), emigrated to America in 1635 at the age of six with his father’s sister, Aunt Sarah Davies (or Davis), age 48 (or 40), and her husband, Nicholas Davies (or Davis), age 40. They landed in Boston on June 7, 1635, on the ship Planter, which had left London on April 2, 1635. They first settled in Charlestown (the oldest neighborhood in Boston) and then in 1642 moved to Woburn, Massachusetts. Deacon William Locke fathered James Locke, and the succession of males leading to Eugene M. Locke after the first James Locke was as follows: another James Locke, John Locke, Moses Locke, James Perry Locke, Maurice Eugene Locke, Eugene Perry Locke, and Eugene M. Locke.
