• This essay explores the life and family of Rabsy Smithsby, Locke’s accomplice while he was in Holland and his landlady in London, showing her connections with both the Royal Household and the Cromwell family as well as with Locke and his friends, and with leading merchants and adventurers of her era, as well as noting her surprisingly modern career as ‘personal shopper’ and bank account owner.
