• Name	Joseph Lockwood
  Birth	15 Mar 1666	Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut
  Gender	Male
  Death	15 Jun 1750	Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York
  Notes	Joseph was “born in Stamford in the year 1666, came to Pound Ridge in the spring of 1743, and died in 1750; was interred in the Old Burial Ground, aged 84,” according to the journal of his great-grandson, Ezra Lockwood (p. 16). The journal further states that he “left issue by his first wife (Ayres) four sons and three daughters, namely: Joseph, John, Israel, Hannah, Elizabeth, Mary, and Reuben—and by his second wife (Webb), Nathaniel and James.” Joseph Lockwood was named in the probate records of his parents, Edmund and Hannah Lockwood, in 1693 and 1707. He served as administrator of his father’s estate in 1693, indicating that he had reached majority by that time. He and his brothers, Edmund and Daniel Lockwood, appear on the list of freemen at Stamford on March 30, 1734 (S). Joseph was also named in the will of his brother Edmund, dated January 8, 1739/40. No probate record for Joseph Lockwood has been found in either Stamford, Connecticut, or Pound Ridge. However, numerous deeds document transfers of property from Joseph to his children. It is likely that his daughters, Hannah and Elizabeth, received their portions in movable goods at the time of their marriages.
