Membership

The Locke Family Association was formed for the descendants of Captain John Locke, but now includes descendants of:

John Locke (1627-1696) of Hampton, NH
Nathaniel Locke (1629-1674) of Portsmouth, NH
William Locke (1628-1720) of Woburn, MA

We also encourage historians and researchers to join who are interested in local or genealogical history. We have an international membership with cousins from four countries.

Newsletter

We publish a quarterly newsletter to keep members informed on Association activities, reunion announcements, and of interesting stories about the lives of Locke descendants, past and present. Members are encouraged to contribute their interesting finds or favorite stories about their Locke ancestors or present day cousins. In 1993 the newsletter was named Sickle and Sword after the two remaining artifacts that belonged to Captain John Locke and are now at the New Hampshire Historical Society.

Necrology

If any Locke relative that you know passes away (who was related to the founding families, whether or not they were an LFA member), please send the detailed information to VP Sandra Munsey <sgmunsey at comcast.net>. This information is used for the remembrance resolutions at the annual LFA reunion.

Membership Dues

Our membership dues help to keep the Association going. The small amount requested barely covers the expenses that we incur each year and most of the work in the Association is done by fantastic volunteers who contribute their time and effort as a labor of love. The membership dues are:

  • Basic Annual Membership: US$10
  • Sustaining Annual Membership: US$50
    A Sustaining Member is someone who wants to support the existence and operation of the Association in a significant way. Most often this person wishes that they could be more involved in the reunions and projects of the Association but cannot for many reasons.
  • Lifetime Membership: US$200
    A Lifetime Member is someone who has jumped in with both feet to ensure that the Association will survive forever.
