You hear Davy Jones' locker a lot and I am wondering if Davy Jones really existed. I think that his locker is at the bottom of the ocean.

No. Davy Jones is an idiom for the bottom of the sea — the resting place of drowned seamen.

An 18th-century sailor's term for the evil spirit of the sea. Of the many conjectures as to the derivation the most plausible are that Davy is a corruption of the West Indian duppy(devil) and that Jones is a corruption of Jonah,or that Davy Jones was a pirate.

According to Wiki, Davy Jones is supposed to be the devil of the sea. The name Davy Jones may have originated as an alternate name for the devil, Devil Jonah.

Davy Jones was lead singer for the Monkees. I imagine he had a big messy locker to keep his stuff in- no wonder people don't want to go there.. :)
