Notes for Sir John Lock
His obit from the London Evening Post of 8/11/1746: -
"Early on Thursday Morning died in an advanced Age, of an Apoplectick fit, at his Lodgings in King's arms Yard, Coleman Street, Sir John, Locke, ( who formerly resided many Years at Ispahan, the Capital of Persia) an eminent Turky Merchant of this City several Years in the Direction of the Hon. the East India and South Sea Companies, one of the Trustees of Morden's College on Blackheath, one of the Hon. the Court of Lieutenancy of this City, one of the Governors of St. Thomas's Hospital, and serv'd the Office of Sheriff of this City with Sir William Ogbourn during the Mayor- ley of Right Hon. Sir John Eyles Bart, in 1727. He has left one Daughter the Wife of Rawlinson, of Chipping Norton in the County of Oxford, Esq; who has several Children. He was a Gentleman that had a thorough Knowledge of Men and Trade, and died possess'd. of a plentiful Estate, which he acquired with great Reputation, and his Death is regretted by all who had the Pleasure of his Acquaintance."

Note that the following identifies he had a daughter who maried Thomas Rawlinson/Rollinson, which Thomas was one of brother James’ two executors, named in his will as his nephew.
His daughter was named Martha and this marriage in the church of Sir John Morden’s charity of which this Sir John was a trustee, seems very likely to have been that of his daughter:
