Elizabeth Stevens

Notes:

Elizabeth was living on May 4, 1773 (Stamford Deed L:51), when she, together with her husband Reuben Lockwood of Pound Ridge, and her siblings—David Stevens, Jr., Joseph Stevens, Abraham Chichester and wife Jerusha (Stevens), Daniel Scofield and wife Mary (Stevens), and Nathan Scofield and wife Mercy (Stevens), all of Stamford—executed a quitclaim deed to James Hoyt. This deed conveyed all rights to Stamford lands belonging to their uncle, Joshua Hoyt, late of Stamford, deceased.

Witnesses included Rebecca Lockwood (likely their daughter) and Ebenezer Lockwood (a nephew).

Elizabeth married Reuben Lockwood on 21 Dec 1749 in New Canaan, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Reuben (son of Joseph Lockwood and Elizabeth Ayers) was born about 1714 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died after 1773 in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York.

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.
