____________________________________________
LOCKE VALLEY or LOCKE'S VALLEY either way was settled abt.1795 by John Locke b. 1776 that came from the Kishacoquillas Valley, Mifflin Co. Pa. It is believed that he is a descendent of the Thomas Locke family of ten that was recorded on the 1790 Pa census.Thomas was head of the household, and one of two free white males 16 years or older.There were three white males under age 16 and five free white females. It is this Thomas Locke who is likely the father of John Locke of Upper Blacklog Valley. There were no other Locke's or Lock's recorded in Pennsylvania during the 1790 census. John Locke first appeared on the 1810 Pennsylvania census as J. Lock, residing in Springfield Township, Huntingdon County, Pa. On the 1820 census he is listed as John Lock. By the 1830 census John Lock and his two sons, Selea Lock and William Lock are shown as heads of households. The 1850 census list John Lock and four of his sons, Selea, William, Philip, and Simon, and two of Selea's sons, Thomas and Silas. While Silas managed to get his last name spelled correctly -- Locke --, all other heads of households were listed as Lock.
