David Lloyd (born 1597, died 7th September 1663) was the son
of David Lloyd of Llanidloes, Montgomery. He was educated at
Oxford, and took orders about 1628. Dr. Lloyd was chaplain
to the Earl of Derby, and held several benefices in Wales,
and in 1660 was made Dean of St. Asaph. He wrote a well-known
book called _The Legend of Captain Jones_, which was published
in London in 1631. This remarkable work went through several
editions, many of which were curiously added to and altered by

Edward Hawke Locker (born 9th October 1777, died 16th October
1849) was the son of William Locker, Captain R.N. He was
educated at Eton, and occupied several positions of trust,
until in 1819 he was made Secretary to Greenwich Hospital.
Mr. Locker was a Fellow of the Royal Society, an artist and
an author, and has left a few books, chiefly biographical or
historical. At Greenwich he inaugurated the scheme of making a
collection of naval pictures, which has proved of the greatest
value. His son Frederick, who assumed the additional surname of
Lampson in 1885, afterwards became a well-known book collector.
