  Notes	Israel Lockwood moved to Pound Ridge, in Westchester County, as evidenced by several Stamford, Connecticut deeds. One such deed (F:399), dated 1760, records a group of Smiths and others, along with their wives—including Israel Lockwood of Old Pound Ridge and “Susannah Lockwood, late Susannah Smith, his wife”—conveying land in Stamford. On February 15, 1760, Israel served on a committee overseeing the construction of the meeting house at Pound Ridge. In 1763, he appears on a list of freeholders in Pound Ridge. His will, dated October 3, 1776, was probated December 16, 1778 (Abstracts of New York Wills, 9:164). In it, he left one-half of his lands to his nephew Hezekiah Lockwood, and the other half to his nephews Reuben, David, and Nathan, sons of Captain Reuben Lockwood. He also made bequests to the daughters of Captain Reuben Lockwood—Lydia, Ann, Sarah, Rebecca, Jerusha, and Elizabeth—as well as to Jemima Briggs (likely a niece of Israel’s wife, daughter of Hannah [Smith] Briggs), “the wife of Gilbert Weed” (Abigail Hoyt, daughter of Elizabeth [Lockwood] Hoyt, Israel’s sister), and “the wife of Hezekiah Lockwood” (possibly Mary Birdsall). Israel Lockwood died without issue.
