Notes:

EDMUND1LOCKWOOD, (Edmund of England), bp. 9 February 1594at Combs, co. Suffolk, d. before 3 March 1634/5 at Cambridge, Mass. He came in 1630 with the fleet which brought Governor John Winthrop to New England. Edmund first settled at Watertown and then at New Towne (Cambridge) where he was called "Mr. ", a title
of respect. His request to be made freeman of the colony on 19 October 1630 was granted 18May 1631. He was juryman 9 November 1630: was appointed constable at Cambridge in May1632 and the same year he was one of two persons appointed to confer with the court about raising a public stock. In 1635his brother Sergeant Robert Lockwood was appointed executor for Edmund's estate and children.

Edmund 1/m. before 1625 in England, an unknown wife, who perhaps d. shortly after her arrival in America. On 3 March 1634/5 the court asked the widow "Ruth" to bring in writings left by her husband, Edmund Lockwood. Other records show clearly that Edmund’s widow was Elizabeth (Masters), whom he had In. at least three years previously. Was "Ruth" in error for the given name of the first wife? There is no proof of this theory, although some have made the assumption.

Edmund 2/m. before 1632 ELIZABETH MASTERS. She was d/o John Masters of Watertown and Cambridge, who (21 December 1639 and by his will two days before his death named. with others, his grandchild, John Lockwood and his daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Cary Latham.

Robert married Susanna Norman about 1633 in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. Susanna (daughter of Richard Norman) was born on 31 Jul 1617 in Suffolk, England; died on 23 Dec 1660 in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elinor married Nicholas Knapp about 1630. Nicholas was born about 1605 in England; died on 16 Apr 1670 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lack of mention of Edmund Lockwood, Jr. in the will of John Masters would indicate that Edmund, Jr. was by an earlier wife, reinforced by a court order 2 June 1635, after the death of Edmund Lockwood, Sr. to place out the "elder children." There were undoubtedly one or two other children of Edmund Lockwood by his first wife, but apparently none survived, for only Edmund, Jr. claimed the estate of his half~brother, John, in 1683.



Edmund Lockwood was apparently raised by his uncle, Robert Lockwood, and likely came to Connecticut with him around 1646. Although both Robert and his son, Jonathan Lockwood, briefly owned land in Stamford, Robert of Fairfield sold his Stamford property before April 15, 1650 (deed recorded in Stamford Town Meeting Records, 1:48).

Jonathan Lockwood, a cousin of Edmund, sold some Stamford property in 1665 and moved to Greenwich (Stamford Deeds A:39–40).

Edmund Lockwood already owned land in Stamford prior to March 8, 1650, which marks his first appearance in the Stamford Town Meeting records. He is mentioned consistently in subsequent records—appearing in deeds, serving as a fence viewer and “pounder,” and participating on surveying committees.

Notably, Edmund, along with his wife and children, were the only Lockwoods residing in Stamford during the latter third of the seventeenth century. Edmund and his short-lived son, John Lockwood, were listed among the Stamford proprietors in 1687. Edmund’s original property, along with subsequent allotments of common land based on his vested rights, passed to his children and their heirs over four generations, providing clear genealogical continuity.

The inventory of Edmund Lockwood’s estate was taken on February 28, 1692/3, by Jonathan Bell, Sr. and Abraham Ambler. Probate records reference his widow; sons Joseph, Daniel, and Edmund; and daughters Mary, Abigail, and one unnamed daughter.

Administration of the estate was granted to his son Joseph Lockwood and to Jonas Weed; however, Weed declined to serve, and Abraham Ambler, Sr. was appointed in his place.

A second inventory was taken on January 30, 1706/7, following the death of the widow. This inventory was conducted by Jonathan Selleck, Benjamin Green, and John Ambler, and was presented by Edmund Lockwood, son of the deceased. Distribution of the estate was ordered to sons Joseph, Daniel, and Edmund, and to daughters Mary Garnsey, Abigail Lockwood, and Sarah Lockwood.

Joseph Bishop, Benjamin Green, and John Ambler were appointed as distributors.

Edmund married Hannah Scott on 7 Jan 1656 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Hannah (daughter of Thomas Scott and Elizabeth Strutt) was born about 1635 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts; died on 12 Apr 1706 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He went to New London, Ct. with his mother and stepfather, Cary Latham. On 20 July 1658 Cary Latham conveyed to his son-in-law (i.e. step-son) John Lockwood (New London deeds 3:63). John lived at Foxen's Hill in New London and d. in 1683, unmarried. New London deeds 5:18 contains a record that Edmund Lockwood of Stamford was declared heir of the estate of his brother, John Lockwood of New London by the County Court 3 June 1684. There are also deeds from Edmund Lockwood of Stamford, conveying land inherited from his brother, John (New London deeds 5:76, 102). Edmund Lockwood was the sole heir

Notes:

John Lockwood, born about 1660, died without issue sometime after August 1689 and before 1692.

On September 9, 1686, John Lockwood was fined for “being out unseasonably and disorderly” (Stamford Records, S1:135). Additional Stamford Town Meeting records note that on August 22, 1689, “the grass of the town meadow on Noroton Island is sold to John Lockwood for this year” (S2:319).

John and his father, Edmund Lockwood, both appear on the 1687 Stamford tax list, with Edmund assessed at 63-0-0 and John at 22-5-0.

In March 1688, John Lockwood was granted Lot #36 at Long Neck in the town of Stamford (Deed A:230). This same lot—described later as “that which was my son John’s”—was sold by his father, Edmund Lockwood, on January 18, 1691/2 (Stamford Deed A:203).

Because the 1687 tax list served as the basis for allocating future grants of “sequestered” (common) land in Stamford, John Lockwood’s rights were inherited by his siblings and their heirs.

He was not named in his parents’ probate records, indicating that he died young.

Mary married Joseph Garnsey on 2 Mar 1693 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Joseph (son of Joseph Garnsey and Rose Waterbury) was born on 30 Jun 1662 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died about 1709 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Notes:

Edmund Lockwood, born about 1668, was apparently of age by 1692, when his father began referring to himself as “Sr.” in a deed.

He was admitted as a freeman at Stamford by March 30, 1734, when his name appears on a list alongside his brothers, Joseph and Daniel (Stamford Records, S2:492–493).

Edmund died at Stamford on February 8, 1739/40, unmarried. His will, dated January 8, 1739/40, names his brothers Daniel and Joseph Lockwood of Stamford; his sisters Mary Garnsey, Abigail Clark, and Sarah Lounsbury; his nephew Edmund Lockwood (son of his brother Daniel); and his niece Deborah Webb, wife of Nathaniel Webb and also a daughter of Daniel (F&H).

It is noteworthy that thirty-three years after the distribution of their parents’ estate in 1707, all three surviving sons and three daughters of Edmund Lockwood were still living at the time Edmund Lockwood made his will.

Notes:

Daniel Lockwood first appears in the Stamford Town Meeting records on March 10, 1692/3, when he was appointed pounder (responsible for impounding stray livestock) for the “south field.” He continued in this role in 1699/1700 and 1701/2.

He served the town in several capacities over the years:

• Fence viewer: 1707, 1710, 1714, 1723, 1732, and 1734
  
• Committee member (dog control): 1727 (to report dogs suspected of killing sheep)
  
• Tithing man: 1734
  
• Grand juryman: 1736
  

In 1736, both Daniel and his son Edmund were appointed pounders for the south field. His son, Daniel Jr., was appointed to the school committee in 1737.

Daniel’s first recorded land transaction occurred on November 27, 1695 (Stamford Deeds A:258), when he conveyed land to John Bates.

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.

• 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]

Notes:

On February 2, 1768 (Stamford Deed H:427), Jonathan Lockwood of Stamford conveyed to Richard Scofield, also of Stamford, “the right of £11–10–10 in the list of estates in the southern commons at Stamford,” originally belonging to Edmund Lockwood and John Lockwood in the 1687 list, and descending to his “honoured deceased father, Daniel Lockwood.” The deed was acknowledged the same day and recorded April 27, 1772.

Jonathan had earlier received land from his father, Daniel Lockwood, on December 11, 1738 (Stamford Deed D:122). This property is referenced in Daniel’s will.

Jonathan Lockwood’s will was made at Stamford on May 4, 1781, and probated October 11, 1781. He named: Wife: Freelove, Children: Ebenezer Lockwood, Titus Lockwood, Jonathan Lockwood, Hannah Lockwood, Charity Lockwood, Rachel Lockwood, Grandchildren: the four surviving children of his deceased son Timothy—David, Samuel, Timothy, and Deborah. Executrix: his wife, Freelove Witnesses: Moses Smith, Messenger Palmer, and James Nichols (P-6:172)

On December 15, 1781, the estate was distributed to: The widow, Freelove, Children: Titus, Ebenezer, Jonathan, Rachel, Charity, and Hannah, Grandchildren: David, Samuel, Timothy, and Deborah (children of Timothy, deceased)

Jonathan married Freelove Wright on 8 Nov 1733 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. Freelove (daughter of John Wright) was born about 1710; died after 1790 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Died without issue (children)

Notes:

Edmund⁴ Lockwood appears to have lived his entire life in Stamford. Two Stamford deeds, both dated January 24, 1794, help identify his children and their places of residence:

• M:174 - Edmund Lockwood of Watertown, Litchfield County, Connecticut, for £150, conveyed to Edmund Lockwood of Stamford two tracts of land:
  
  
  • One bounded by Charles Knapp, Enoch Knapp, and Ebenezer Jones
    
  • Another bounded by “my father Edmund Lockwood’s land”
  
  
• M:210 - Whereas Jacob Lockwood, Jr., late of Stamford, deceased, owned seven tracts of real estate in Stamford, now legally vested in Edmund Lockwood and Ezra Lockwood, both of Watertown, Litchfield County, Connecticut, and Hannah Peck, wife of Ebenezer Peck of Greenwich, the parties agreed to divide the land.
  
  The division references “our father Edmund Lockwood’s land” located at the west end of Stamford, on the west side of the Mill River, bounded by Charles Knapp, Enoch Knapp, Ebenezer Jones, Ezra Mead, Isaac Lockwood, Samuel Hutton, and the Bedford Road.

• 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.

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.

Notes:

Col. Edmund Lockwood married Mary Ann Cash Russell, the widow of Dr. Robert Russell and daughter of David Isaac Cash and Sally M. Gore, on 13 Mar 1816 in Ulster, Pennsylvania. Edmund and Mary Ann had eight children - Edmund L., Abigail Carassa, Richard Caton, Samuel Simons, Mary Ann, Phebe Maria, Charles Huston and Frances. Of these children only two did not survive - Charles Huston died at age three and Frances died at age two. Edmund's last child, Frances, was born four months after Edmund died.

The following is from the History of Bradford County, PA by David Craft 1770-1878 published in 1878: Edmund Lockwood was born at Watertown, CT, November 24, 1769. He there married Nancy Judson, by whom he had two children,--Caroline, who married Samuel Simons, and Charles J., who died unmarried. May 19, 1797, he was commissioned Captain in the 8th Regiment of militia, by Governor Oliver Wolcott. May 28, 1802, he was promoted to the rank of Major by Governor Jno. Trumbull. May 10, 1810, he received his commission as Colonel of the same regiment from Governor John Treadwell.

About this time he removed to Baltimore, Maryland, and entered the service of Charles Carroll. He was soon after appointed by his agent for the sale of the Carroll lands in Bradford and adjoining counties, and removed to Smithfield, in that county. He soon formed the acquaintance of Anna, widow of Dr. Russell, whom he married. They took up their residence in Old Sheshequin, in a house built by her father. After this, the homestead now owned and occupied by Mrs. A. C. Jones was erected, where Col. Lockwood died, January 16, 1834, aged sixty-three years.
