Locke Family Association, Inc.
The oldest incorporated family association in the United States
Founded August 26, 1891
Incorporated August 26, 1898 in Rye, NH

Our Purpose

We are a family organization that puts as great an emphasis on the fellowship of modern Locke descendants as on the traditional genealogical pursuits of collecting and publishing data and preserving Locke artifacts.

Our Annual Reunions

We hold an annual reunion to celebrate the family's accomplishments every year on the third Saturday in August, usually in Rye, New Hampshire. We have done this since our founding without fail, even through two world wars. Over 300 cousins attended our 100th reunion and over 100 cousins commemorated the 300th anniversary of the death of our ancestor, Captain John Locke.

News

The 118th Locke Family Association Reunion: Family Fun Weekend in Rye, New Hampshire is running Friday, August 1 through Sunday, August 3, 2008.

The Locke Family Association has changed the date to accommodate family summer vacations. Come join us and build warm memories like those of our Secretary, Donald Hayes, Jr.

More details will be coming soon. To see about the wonderful reunion last year, download the brochure (it is big) or visit the 117th Reunion 2007 page. We will have a new page soon to describe the upcoming reunion.
