- The cemetery driveway divides the cemetery into two large sections. Proceed to the northern most point along the driveway. From this point proceed about 250 feet northwards in approximately the center of the cemetery. Francis Locke’s son’s grave is marked with a large elaborate marker. It has a large base of four tablets topped by a large urn or vase. This is an easy to find monument. From here, move northwest along this row. The eighth stone from here is the stone for Matthew Locke. It appears to be the original stone mounted within a newer, larger monument. There is also an SAR marker at the base of this monument.

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
