RICHARD LOCK
This page is to show a kinship between my Richard Lock b.
ca 1720 and a man named
Richard Lock b. unknown, d. 1745 Calvert County Maryland.
It is Benjamin Dixon who ties both Richard Lock's together.
Added 8/17/2005
There are still many unanswered questions, but I am pretty
sure this connection is solid.
With out the tireless help of Frances Austin, I would not have all of the
references you see below. Thank you Frances!
I will start with the oldest reference to the newest reference. I will add more records to this page as they are found.
