Joseph Lockwood

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.

Joseph married Susannah before 1740. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joseph Lockwood is said to have moved from Stamford to Pound Ridge around 1743. Stamford deeds support his departure at about this time, indicating that he first relocated to North Castle, where his brothers Reuben and James were also residing.

Records from Historical Records of North Castle (R) include:

• Book B:8 – Town Meeting, April 3, 1744 - “Joseph Lockwood, prizer of damages and fence viewer for the East Patent for the year ensuing.”
  
• Book B:10 – Town Meeting, April 1, 1746 - “Joseph Lockwood, assessor for the year ensuing for the East Middle Patent.”
  

(Joseph’s brother Reuben appears in these records beginning in 1739.)

From Westchester County Land Records:

• H:62 – December 10, 1745 (recorded August 24, 1768)
  Joseph and Reuben Lockwood, both of North Castle, along with others, transferred rights in the “East Patent”—originally granted in 1701 to Caleb Heathcote, Lemaster Simbs, and Robert Waters—to James De Lancey and Lewis Johnstone.
  Joseph Lockwood signed by mark; Reuben signed his name.
  

No formal death record has been found for Joseph⁴ Lockwood other than that noted in the journal of his grandson, Ezra. However, on February 15, 1760, at a church society meeting—moderated by Reuben Lockwood, with Israel Lockwood (both brothers of Joseph) serving on the building committee—it was decided to erect a new meeting house on the “hill betwixt Joseph Lockwood’s house and Ebenezer Lockwood’s barn.” These two Lockwoods were almost certainly Joseph’s sons, indicating that Joseph’s land had passed to them by that date (N-2:570).

The surviving children of Joseph Lockwood are identified in Stamford deed L:101, dated March 28, 1788. In this deed:

• Ebenezer Lockwood of Pound Ridge
  
• Ebenezer and Rachel Wood of Salem, New York
  
• David and Mercy Dan of Bedford, New York
  
• Nathaniel and Elizabeth Waring of the Manor of Philipsborough, New York
  -acted as grantors to Joseph Lockwood of Pound Ridge. The deed references land originally purchased by “our father Joseph Lockwood” in 1756.
  

Joseph married Sarah Hoyt about 1728 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Sarah (daughter of Joshua Hoyt and Mary Pickett) was born on 1 Apr 1706 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died in 1790 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Hannah married David Dann on 17 Sep 1724 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. David (son of Francis Dann and Elizabeth Clason) was born in 1693. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Lockwood was appointed surveyor of highways at Stamford on December 2, 1742, and again on December 18, 1744 (S-2:521, 526).

On July 23, 1776 (Stamford Deed L:296), John Lockwood of Stamford conveyed to “my son Reuben Lockwood of Stamford” four acres of land at a place called “ye Dead Plains,” bounded by “my own land,” “my son John’s land,” and land of Joseph Ambler. Witnesses were Abraham Davenport and John Lockwood, Jr. Numerous additional Stamford deeds exist for this John Lockwood.

John Lockwood executed his will on July 23, 1776; it was probated September 3, 1776. He named the following children: Sarah Scofield, Abigail Lounsbury, John Lockwood (and his wife), Reuben Lockwood

He appointed his sons John and Reuben as executors. Witnesses to the will were Abraham Scofield, Mary Lockwood, and Rachel Lockwood.

An inventory of the estate was taken on January 15, 1777, and filed November 3, 1778, by Reuben Lockwood, administrator (P-4:311–312, 373–374).

On May 4, 1780, the estate was distributed to the heirs of his son John (then deceased), with the remainder distributed to Reuben, son of the decedent (P-6:31).

John married Sarah Scofield on 8 Apr 1737 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Sarah (daughter of Daniel Scofield and Hannah Hoyt) was born about 1715 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died about 1770 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth married Job Hoyt about 1728. Job (son of Joshua Hoyt and Mary Pickett) was born on 22 Jan 1704 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died on 13 Oct 1754 in North Castle, Westchester County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military Service: Abt 1776; American Revolution (US) Died of Camp Distemper during the war

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.

Israel married Susannah Smith on 1 Sep 1748 in New Canaan, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Susannah (daughter of Caleb Smith and Susannah Scofield) was born on 16 Feb 1721 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died in 1811 in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mary married James Jump before 1740. James was born est 1710; died in South Salem, Westchester County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military Service: Abt 1776; American Revolution (US)

Notes:

Reuben Lockwood’s life and movements can be traced through the following records:

• January 14, 1735/6 (Stamford Deed C:514) - Joseph Lockwood conveyed land to his son Reuben Lockwood of Stamford.
  
• March 7, 1738/9 (Stamford Deed E:148) - Reuben Lockwood of North Castle purchased land in Stamford.
  
• April 3, 1739 - Reuben Lockwood served as assessor in North Castle.
  
• April 7, 1741 - He served as fence viewer and prizer of damages in North Castle.
  
• April 3, 1744 - Reuben Lockwood was appointed constable for the East Patent.
  
• March 29, 1745 (Stamford Deed E:25) - Reuben Lockwood of North Castle purchased land in Stamford.
  
• December 10, 1745 (recorded August 24, 1768; Westchester Co. Deeds H:62) - Reuben Lockwood and Joseph Lockwood, both of North Castle, transferred rights in the “East Patent.” Reuben signed his name; Joseph signed by mark.
  
• February 16, 1748/9 (Stamford Deed E:265) - Reuben Lockwood of North Castle sold land in Stamford.
  
• February–March 1749/50 (Stamford Deeds E:254 & E:266) - Reuben Lockwood of Old Pound Ridge bought and sold Stamford land.
  
• October 16, 1753 & November 16, 1756 (Stamford Deeds F:31 & F:238) - Reuben Lockwood of Old Pound Ridge continued buying and selling Stamford land.
  
• April 1, 1756 - Appointed one of the highway commissioners for Old Pound Ridge.
  
• April 22, 1758 - During the French and Indian War, Reuben appears on the muster roll as Captain Reuben Lockwood of Westchester County.
  
• May 1, 1758 - Warrant issued for £1,121 bounty for 103 volunteers from Westchester County under his command.
  
• February 15, 1760 - Captain Reuben Lockwood served as moderator of a church society meeting at Old Pound Ridge, which voted to build a meeting house “betwixt Joseph Lockwood’s house and Ebenezer Lockwood’s barn.” Israel Lockwood (his brother) served on the building committee.
  
• 1763 - Reuben Lockwood appears on a list of freeholders in Westchester County.
  
• June 2 and November 1763 (Stamford Deeds F:409 & G:476) -Deeds were acknowledged before Reuben Lockwood, Justice of the Peace for Pound Ridge. One deed identifies Robert Andrews and wife Sarah (née Bishop) of Pound Ridge conveying land to Samuel Andrews of Stamford.
  
• May 4, 1773 - Reuben is recorded as of Pound Ridge when he joined his wife and her siblings in conveying property (see above).
  Revolutionary War period (c. 1776)
  A Reuben Lockwood served under Colonel James Holmes in the 4th Regiment of the Continental Line; however, this may refer to his son or another man of the same name.
  
• c. 1780 - Reuben Lockwood does not appear on the Westchester County tax list (T-5:76), though his apparent sons, Hezekiah and David Lockwood, are listed—suggesting that Reuben had likely died by this time.
  

Death and Children - No probate or death record has been found for Reuben Lockwood (nor for his half-brothers Nathaniel and James), likely due to the destruction of records in Westchester County during the American Revolutionary War. The names of Reuben’s children are derived from:

• The will of his brother Israel Lockwood, who devised much of his estate to Reuben’s children
  
• The journal of Ezra Lockwood, which lists the same children—though in a slightly different order (placing daughters of the first wife before the children of the second wife)
  

Reuben married Sarah Camp est 1735. Sarah was born est 1715; died before 1749. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Reuben married Elizabeth Stevens on 21 Dec 1749 in New Canaan, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Elizabeth (daughter of David Stevens and Jerusha Hoyt) was born on 15 Aug 1725 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died after 1773 in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This was probably a newborn infant. The date is frequently used in error as the birth date of Reuben.

Notes:

Nathaniel Lockwood died after 1765 and likely before 1774; no death or probate record has been found. (Note: Revolutionary War service attributed to this man by the DAR actually belongs to another Nathaniel Lockwood of Norwalk (U, pp. 151–152). All individuals named Nathaniel Lockwood in the 1790 census can be identified as other persons.)

He married on January 2, 1742/3 at Stamford Mary Patch, born about 1723/4. She is said (CC) to have been the twin sister of Quinton Patch of Stamford and Danbury, Connecticut.

Mary’s surname appears in records with variations:

• “Pack” (as copied from Stamford town records)
  
• “Patchin” (in Ezra Lockwood’s journal)
  

However, “Patch” is considered correct. Supporting evidence includes the marriage of her daughter Mary Lockwood, Jr., to her first cousin Thompson Patch, son of Quinton and Mercy (Ambler) Patch, as noted in the Patch–Partch family history (CC).

Quinton and Mary Patch are said to have been born in England (CC), and the surname does not appear in Stamford earlier. Some researchers have noted a possible earlier connection through the family of Hannah (Scott) Lockwood, whose sister Mary Scott married Thomas Patch of Essex County, Massachusetts (G), though this remains speculative.

Based on Quinton Patch’s stated age in his will, the likely birth year for both Quinton and Mary is closer to 1723/4 rather than the commonly cited 1727.
(See “Richard Ambler Family,” X–64:184–185.)

No record of Mary (Patch) Lockwood has been found after the birth and baptism of her children in Stamford. Notably, one son and two daughters later married in Danbury, where Quinton Patch resided.

Land and Civic Records

Nathaniel Lockwood—apparently the only man of that name in the Stamford grantee/grantor index before 1799—received two land grants at Stamford (Deeds D:188) on February 26, 1739/40:

• From his father, Joseph Lockwood
  
• From his (half) brother, Israel Lockwood
  

In the deed from Joseph, the father reserved lifetime “improvement and enjoyment” of the land for himself and his wife (likely a third wife). This reservation was largely relinquished in a quitclaim dated January 25, 1741/2 (Stamford Deeds D:293).

Nathaniel sold both parcels of land to his (half) brothers, Israel and John Lockwood, on March 14 and 18, 1744/5 (Deeds D:496 and D:501).

His final Stamford deed (E:335), dated December 21, 1750, conveyed to his “brother John Lockwood” one-half of three rods of salt meadow. In this deed, Nathaniel reaffirmed his father’s reserved lifetime use of the property, after which the land would pass fully to John.

Despite selling his land, Nathaniel appears to have remained in Stamford for some time. Town meeting records from December 9, 1756; December 14, 1761; and December 15, 1763 include entries for his tax rate (S).

Children and Church Records

The births of eight children are recorded in Stamford town records through 1759, and baptisms for eleven children appear in the records of the Stamford First Congregational Church.

• In 1754, five of the eldest children were baptized together under the name “Mary, widow of Nathaniel.”
  
• However, just eighteen days later, on March 17, 1754, Nathaniel Lockwood and his wife Mary appeared and “owned the covenant” at the same church (J), confirming he was still living.
  
• Six additional children were baptized individually through 1765.
  

(Note: Jerusha, sometimes incorrectly attributed to this family, was baptized May 8, 1757 as the daughter of Nathaniel Lockwood, Jr., of Greenwich.)

The last known Stamford record for this family is the 1767 marriage of Millicent Lockwood “of Stamford” at the First Congregational Church.

Later Family Movements

No further records of Nathaniel or Mary have been found in Connecticut or Westchester County after this period, despite extensive research.

Seven of their children have been identified into adulthood through:

• The pension records of Nathan Lockwood of Pound Ridge
  
• Deeds and related records involving two sons and four daughters in:
  
  • Danbury and New Milford, Connecticut
    
  • Chittenden County, Vermont
    

It is highly probable that both parents died while their younger children were still minors, and that these children were subsequently raised by older siblings or other relatives.

Nathaniel married Mary Patch on 2 Jan 1743 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Mary was born about 1724 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died after 1765 in Westchester County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James Lockwood married on September 5, 1741, at Stamford, Mary Norton, daughter of Hugh Norton.

On September 9, 1741, James Lockwood was appointed administrator of the estate of his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Norton, replacing Thomas Skelding, deceased. Nathaniel Norton’s will was dated October 4, 1740, and probated at Stamford on September 5, 1741—the same date as James and Mary’s marriage.

James Lockwood and his wife Mary were residing in Stamford on January 4, 1743/4, when they sold land there—property inherited from her brother Nathaniel Norton, originally belonging to their father Hugh Norton—to William King of Stamford. By November 27, 1755, however, they were living in Pound Ridge, where they acknowledged the transfer; the deed was recorded November 29, 1755 (Stamford Deeds F:164).

James had earlier received 25 acres of land in Stamford from his father, Joseph Lockwood, “for love,” on March 10, 1739/40 (Stamford Deed D:191). He later sold this land to his “brothers” (i.e., half-brothers), Israel and John Lockwood of Stamford, in two transactions:
November 16, 1743 (while James was still residing in Stamford)

February 4, 1744/5 (when he was of North Castle)
(Stamford Deeds D:403 and D:496)

On May 30, 1774 (recorded June 25, 1776), James Lockwood of the Manor of Cortlandt conveyed land to John Ambler of the same place, part of Farm #2 in Great Lot #10 (Westchester Land Records H:117).

James Lockwood served on the Cortlandt Manor Committee on April 2, 1777, which heard charges against William Wallace of Salem (BB, p. 64).

He does not appear on the 1779 Westchester County tax list (T-5:80), suggesting he likely died between 1777 and 1779. No death record or place of burial has been identified. Neither James nor his wife Mary appears in the 1790 census of New York or Connecticut.

James married Mary Norton on 5 Sep 1741 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Military Service: Abt 1775; American Revolution (US) 4th NY Regt, Col James Holmes Lieutenant under Capt Jonathan Platt

Notes:

David Dann was on the Westchester Co., N.Y. tax list of 1779, apparently owning property at both Pound Ridge, where he was assessed for real estate and personal property and at Salem, N.Y., R. E. tax only, (T—5:76 ff). In the 1790 census of Bedford, David Dann with 1/l/l lived next to his son, Hezekiah Dann with l/l/2. On 25 January 1800David Dan and wife Huldah (probably second wife) sold Bedford, N.Y. land to Benjamin and William Isaacs, (X—55:208). An affidavit of 15 November 1819 by David Dan of Amsterdam, Montgomery County, N.Y. states that he, while serving during the Revolutionary War as 1st lieutenant under Capt. Jonathan Platt, Col. James Holmes of the 4th N.Y. Regiment recruited and enlisted Nathan Lockwood into the service in 1775 or 1776, in Westchester Co., N.Y. (Pension #W2052/4:).The 1820 census of Amsterdam, N.Y. lists David Dan, a male and female over 45.

Family/Spouse: Michael Scofield. Michael (son of Ebenezer Scofield and Mary Smith) was born on 24 Jan 1741. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He may have been a Reuben Lockwood who served int he Revolution from Westchester County, N.Y. (Z—pp.51, 208, 215, 255) and possibly is the one listed at Pound Ridge in the 1790 census with 1/0/1.

Notes:

Living in 1776 when named as chief heir in the will of his uncle, Israel Lockwood. He had In. before 1776, perhaps MARY BIRDSALL. Hezekiah, having inherited land at Pound Ridge, is on the 1779tax list there (T—5:76). He is in the 1790 census of Pound Ridge with 1/1/3, living next to his cousin, Ebenezer Lockwood, son of Joseph. He died before 4 April 1798 when Westchester County deed M:369 (X 55:208 mentions land in Pound Ridge bounded by Hezekiah Lockwood's heirs.

Hezekiah married Mary Birdsall before 1776. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Apparently was the Rebecca Lockwood who was of age and witnessed the 4 May 1773 deed of her parents who joined her maternal aunts and uncles in conveying property.

Notes:

He was living on June 15, 1833, and appears in the 1835 census of pensioners at Durham, Greene County, New York.

He was listed on the 1779 tax roll at Pound Ridge (T-5:76), and his pension application indicates that he enlisted there beginning in 1776 for multiple tours of duty during the American Revolutionary War.

He does not appear in the 1790 census of Pound Ridge; however, his pension papers state that he resided there until 1792, when he removed to Rensselaerville, and later to Greene County, New York.

A David Lockwood appears in the 1800 census of Albany County, New York, with the household enumeration recorded as 21010//10100.

He has not been located in the 1820 or 1830 census records of Greene County and may have been residing with another household during those years. He is also not listed in the index of surrogate (probate) records for Greene County, New York (see T-18:139).

Notes:

By tradition, they lived at Bedford, N.Y. during the Revolutionary War; then went to Albany County, N.Y. in 1788and to Portage County, Ohio
in 1805. (Family records of Mrs. Earl R. Stanley, Potomac, Md. in 1975) The identity of this Jerusha Lockwood is not positive, but quite possible.

Jerusha married John Ferris in 1782. John was born on 20 Apr 1760 in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York; died on 22 Sep 1841. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From her position in this family from both Ezra Lockwood's journal and the will of her uncle, Israel Lockwood, she could not have been the one born in 1753, as given in the erroneous Lockwood genealogy.

Notes:

She was the only daughter of Nathaniel listed in Ezra Lockwood's journal, so that she probably lived to maturity, possibly in Westchester County, N.Y.
