John Locke (Lost)
John Locke was born to teenager Emily Locke on May 30, 1956. In his early years he showed extreme promise in his intelligence. After being placed in government care as a ward of the state he found himself in a variety of foster homes. He was visited in one such home by Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), who described Locke as "extremely special". Locke had a number of foster siblings over the years: Jeannie, who died as a child when she fell off of a set of monkey bars; Melissa, who was prone to bullying John; and an unnamed brother with whom Locke played the game Mouse Trap.
Elijah Locke House
Captain John Locke was one of the earliest settlers of New Hampshire, arriving in 1644. This house was built either by his son William in 1729, or his grandson Elijah in 1739; the latter date is found incised on one of the original roof beams. John Locke was killed by Native Americans in 1696; William was a shopkeeper in Portsmouth. The house has spent many years in (and out of) ownership by Locke's descendants.
