John Lockey and Thomas Griffith, both prominent merchants of London, traded in tobacco with Virginia, and Col Richard Lee appointed them in 1663 his executors. (Lee of Virginia p 64) John Lockey died in 1665-6, leaving a widow Elizabeth, who married Stanford, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Catherine Lockey. (New England Historical and Genealogical Magazine 46, p 77) In 1660 William Collis, of York County, Va., deposed that Edward Lockey, a prominent merchant of that place, was brother of Mr. John Lockey, merchant of London. This Edward Lockey was administrator in 1657 of Capt. Francis Morgan, an early justice and settler of York County, who left one son of the same name heir of his large estate. In 1659 Edward Lockey married Elizabeth, widow of Major John Hansford, father of Col. Thomas Hansford, hanged in Bacon's Rebellion. In 1667, while in the parish of St. Catherine Creechurch, London, he died without children and left a large estate to collaterals. He gave a plantation called Morgan's Plantation to his "cousin" *Isaac Collier, son of Isaac Collier, Sr., Read's plantation to his wife Elizabeth for life, and then to Isaac Collier, Jr., as also to him a plantation of 320 acres at Mattapony, bought of John Madison (in King William County). There were certain legacies left to Isaac Lockey, Jr., to the three daughters of his nephew Edward Lockey, Mary, Ann and Judith Lockey, and to William Carter, son of Francis Carter.
In 1667, Richard Walton, citizen and merchant tailor of London and True,
his wife, daughter of "Elizabeth Friend als. Lockey, the natural sister
of Edward Lockey, late of York River, in Virginia in parts beyond the seas,
merchant, who lately deceased her in London", appointed as their attorneys
John Baskevyle, gent., clerk of York Court in Virginia aforesaid, Richard
Bushro, in Mock-Jack Bay in Virginia aforesaid, merchant, and Robert Baldry,
in Virginia aforesaid, gent. In 1668 Mr John Mihill as intermarrying
with Mary Lockey is ordered to pay unto Dr. Thomas Haddon "three hundred
and ten pounds of tobaccoe and caske convenient in York Co., the same being
due for physicks administered and attendance on her in her seasoning by
ye appointment and order of her dec'd uncle, Edward Lockey, with
