Notes for Daniel:
Cyrus Eaton, Annals of Warren (1877), makes a few
references to Daniel: "...Dr. Daniel Locke came this year (1763) from Acton, Mass., with a family of two children; and marrying the widow of Hugh Scot, established himself on the farm long owned by T. Starrett, Jr., (Daniel's wife Margaret, was a Starrett) and more recently by Dea. Singer. He was skillful in the treatment of sores, letting blood, extracting teeth, and in relieving such complaints as readily yielded to roots and herbs. It is said also that he laid claim to some knowledge in astrology; but whether his proficiency in this science was equal to his skill in surgery, we are unable to say. He lived on this farm till his death in 1774," p. 137.
Eaton also made reference to son Abraham Locke: "...a saw mill had been erected in 1774 by Col. Starrett, John Lermond, and Abraham Locke, son of the doctor," p. 178.42 |
