- Anna Maria Lockman (1764–1825),[10] who married Edward Barker, esq. from West Tarring, Sussex on 19 November 1778.[11][12][13]
- Caroline Lockman (1766–1820 or 1828)[10][14][15]
Career
He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford and graduated BA in 1748, and MA and Doctor in Divinity in 1769.[16] Lockman was recognized as a natural philosopher,[17] and had interested in painted glass.[5] Lockman once owned "The statutes and ordinances of the most noble Order of Saint George named “ye Garter’ [manuscript on vellum]" from year 1571 by Order of the Garter.[18]
He was appointed:
- Rector of Dunstable 1753

He was appointed to the second stall in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in 1758,[26] and held the stall until 1807. in 1774,[27] Lockman worked with King George III to refurbish parts of the Chapel's interior with plans to finance the project through donations from knights of the Order of the Garter,[28] Lockman was paid 500 guinea.[29] In addition to overseeing the project, a noteworthy contribution by Lockman included collecting all of the fifteenth century glass and consolidating the pieces into the single west window, which inspired a wave of artistic design for new windows.[30]
Fanny Burney mentioned Lockman in her journal, "...and though he told us nothing either new or striking, he at least took care to give no disappointment after his first opening, by preaching in a manner that never drew our attention."[2] Lockman also appears in the diary of Queen Charlotte[31]
Lockman was a member of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts[32] and the Amicable Society for a Perpetual Assurance Office.[33]
Death
Rev. Dr. John Lockman died 24 December 1807.[22] A memorial indicates he was "in his 87th year", however, this may conflict with his birthyear.
