    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. The following partial excerpt from biographical notes for Edmund Lockwood (the immigrant) applies to the first generation of American Lockwood descendants of Robert. The quote is from "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633," Volumes I-III, for the full transcription, see the notes of Edmund: "Bibliographic Note: The 1889 Lockwood genealogy (Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, "Descendants of Robert Lockwood," "History of the Lockwood Family in America," [Philadelphia 1889]) was deservedly described by Jacobus as "a genealogical atrocity" [TAG 31:222]. By lumping all the descendants of the first Edmund under his brother Robert, the posterity of this family through eldest son Edmund was misplaced. Donald Lines Jacobus began to sort the family out properly in 1930, with further contributions made in 1955 [FOOF 1:380-81; TAG 31:222-24]. In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge published detailed arguments for a rearrangement of the Lockwood families that would restore to Edmund Lockwood his children ["Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and his son Edmund Lockwood (c. 1625-1693) of Stamford, Connecticut" (New York 1978), cited above as Lockwood Gen]."

      2. FHL Book 929.273 L814a or FHL film 1321248, item 6, "Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts and his son Edmund Lockwood (c. 1625-1693) of Stamford Connecticut," by Harriet Woodbury Hodge, C.G., 1978:
      "Foreword. Edmund Lockwood, The Forgotten Ancestor.
      In 1630 two Lockwood brothers, 'Mr.' Edmund, aged 36 and Sergeant Robert, aged 36, came to New England with the Winthrop Fleet. Both men were sons of Edmund and Ales (Cowper) Lockwood of Combs, co. Suffolk, England. (See Phi more and Blagg, 'Suffolk County Registers, Marriages,' 1:123 and Banks, 'Winthrop Fleet of 1630,' pp. 79, 80. Both brothers have many American descendants living today, those of Robert far more numerous than those of his brother, Edmund. Unfortunately, few of the Edmund Lockwood family acknowledge him as one of their forefathers, believing erroneously that they are descendants of Robert. The 'Edmund Lockwood Family Society' is today an exclusive group with a mere handful of members. How has this situation come about?
      James Savage, who published his 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England' in 1860-2, recognized that Edmund Lockwood had progeny into the third generation. But in 1889, two unbelievably inept compilers, Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, threw together a thick tome entitled 'Descendants of Robert Lockwood, History of the Lockwood Family in America.' This book, replete with multiple errors, assumes, as its title suggests, that all early American Lockwoods were descendants of Sgt. Robert Lockwood. His brother, Edmund Lockwood, is consigned to an appendix, which omits any mention of the records of Edmund's surviving son, Edmund Lockwood of Stamford, Connecticut. Then, confronted with the six surviving children of Edmund Lockwood, the compilers divide them up and add them to the families of two sons of Robert Lockwood: Ephraim of Norwalk and Jonathan of Greenwich. The original errors are compounded in the Lockwood genealogy, tangling inextricably the lines of both Edmund and Robert Lockwood.
      In 1930 Donald Lines Jacobus, who called the Holden and Lockwood compilation 'a genealogical atrocity' ('The American Genealogist,' 31:222 ff.), corrected the Connecticut Lockwood families through the first two generations in the 'History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield.' Unfortunately, this work has only recently become widely available through a reprinted edition, is as yet unknown to many Lockwood researchers and does not 'come down' far enough on Stamford, Norwalk and Greenwich lines to help identify later Lockwoods. Jacobus cautioned (TAG, 31:222), that no one should accept the 1889 Lockwood genealogy without extensive verification.
      Jacobus, using carefully studied probate records, showed that no Connecticut Lockwood of suitable age could have been father of Abraham Lockwood (c1670-1747) of Rhode Island (Austin, Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, p. 125) or of Richard Lockwood (1678-1757) of Delaware. The old Lockwood genealogy simply inserts Abraham and Richard into Connecticut families to which they clearly do not belong! The Delaware and Rhode Island Lockwoods are separate lines and must look elsewhere for their ancestry.
      Additionally, two English Lockwood pedigrees are shown on preface pages xxiv and xxv of the Holden and Lockwood 1889 genealogy. Caveat! No connection to any American Lockwood has been proved or can be inferred.
      The present compilation is limited in scope and does not attempt to correct more than a few of the errors in 'The Descendants of Robert Lockwood.' We have focused on retrieving the descendants of Edmund Lockwood, reworking the lineages. We have carried out all the male lines and a few females' families through five generations, insofar as they can be determined. Some have eluded us and we hope other researchers may provide us with the careers of more fifth generation descendants of Edmund Lockwood, from original material. We have included here a few sixth generation families, whose records have not been published heretofore. This book contains much new material, principally from original deeds.

      "Robert Lockwood...
      Migration:1633.
      First Residence: Watertown.
      Removes: Stamford 1646, Fairfield 1650...
      Estate: ...On 20 October 1658, "the widow Lockwood" presented her husband's inventory, and the court appointed "the widow Susanna Lockwood to be administratrix"; "the deceased having left no will, the Court orders as followeth: that the widow shall have a third part of the state and the rest of the children being nine in number, their names are Jonathan, Joseph, Daniell, Epraim, Gershom, John, Abigail, Sarah and Mary, shall have the rest of the estate divided amongst them as followeth, the eldest son Jonathan is to have a double portion only that estate which the said Jonathan received of his father before his death being here made to appear to be fifty-seven pounds, twelve shillings, is to be reckoned to be part of his double portion, and ... the rest of the estate is to be divided among the rest of the children only each of the sons are to have a third part more than [each] of the daughters ...; Deborah being married hath received her portion of her father before his death" [Fairfield PR 1:43]...
      On 28 May 1661, "whereas Jeffery Ferris by marriage with his wife Susanna now deceased stands engaged to pay certain legacies due to the children of Robert Lockwood deceased according to the administration entered in court 20 October 1658 and whereas he sayeth that Joseph & Daniell hath received their portions already as also that they have received the portions of Epraim & Gershom & that they are to stand engaged to see it paid according to the court order and that he intends at the first opportunity to clear himself thereof at a court and whereas John & the three daughters portions are still in his hand, he having removed out of this jurisdiction and security being demanded, he doth by these presents bind over all his housing and accommodations that he hath in Greenwich that the legacies shall be truly paid" [Fairfield PR 1:65, 67].
      On 1 December 1681, "Jonathan Hewsteed of Greenwich having marrying Mary Lockwood the daughter of Robert and Susanna Lockwood" acknowledged having received his wife's portion of her parents' estates from "Daniell Lockwood, Joseph Lockwood and Will[ia]m Ward administrators upon the estate of their father and mother" [Fairfield PR 3:314]. On 28 December 1681, "John Barlowe of Fairfeild," noting that "there was a portion due out of the estate of my father-in-law Robert Lockwood deceased and of the estate of my mother -in-law Susanna Ferris deceased unto she that is now my wife Abigal their daughter, and whereas that my brother-in-law Will[ia]m Ward in his lifetime and my brother-in-laws Joseph and Daniel Lockwood were appointed by the court to administer on the abovesaid estate," acknowledged having received his wife's portion [Fairfield PR 3:313]...
      Children:
      i. Jonathan Lockwood, b. Watertown 10 September 1634 [NEHGR 6:380; WaVR 1:3]; m. by 6 January 1664[/5?] Mary Ferris, daughter of Jeffrey Ferris [GM 2:2:519-20].

      iii. Joseph Lockwood, b. Watertown 6 August 1638 [NEHGR 7:160; WaVR 1:5]; m. (1) by an unknown date ___ Beacham, daughter of Robert Beacham (in his will of 24 November 1689, "Rob[er]t Beacham of Maxemas Farms in Fairfeild" included bequests to "my grandchild Robert Lockwood," "my grandchild Susana Lockwood," "my other two grandchildren John and Sarah Lockwood," and made "my loving son-in-law Joseph Lockwood" sole executor [Fairfield PR 4:36]); possibly m. (2) after 1689 Mary (Coley) (Simpson) Stream, widow of Peter Simpson and John Stream [FOOF 1:383].
      iv. Daniel Lockwood, b. Watertown 25 March 1640 [NEHGR 7:162; WaVR 1:8]; m. by about 1669 Abigail Sherwood (eldest known child b. about 1669 [FOOF 1:383]), daughter of Thomas Sherwood [FOOF 1:383, 548-49].
      v. EPHRAIM Lockwood, b. Watertown 1 December 1641 [NEHGR 7:281; WaVR 1:9]; m. Norwalk 8 June 1665 Mercy St. John [Norwalk LR 1:49], daughter of Mathias St. John [FOOF 1:513].

      vii. John Lockwood, b. say 1646; the inventory of the estate of "John Lockwood" was taken "by us as selectmen of the town of Norwocke in February last Anno 1675 [probably 1675/6]" (including a debt "from the country for wages as a soldier") and presented by Ephraim Lockwood [Fairfield PR 3:23-24]; apparently unm.
      viii. Abigail Lockwood, b. say 1648; m. by about 1668 John Barlow (eldest known child b. about 1668), son of Thomas Barlow [Fairfield PR 3:313; FOOF 1:29].
      ix. Sarah Lockwood, b. say 1650; d. Fairfield 1 March 1650[/1] [CTVR30].
      x. Sarah Lockwood, b. Fairfield 27 February 1651[/2?] [CTVR 30]; she may have married Abraham Adams [Connecticut Ancestry 47:130; FOOF 1:9-10].
      xi. Mary Lockwood, b. say 1654; m. (1) by 1681 Jonathan Huestis [Fairfield PR 3:314; TAG 30:127-28, 73:204-5]; m. (2) by 1713 Joseph Knapp (on 28 April 1713, "Joseph Knap of the town of Gree[n]wich ... & Mary his wife formerly Mary Heusted relict of Jonathan Heusted of the said Greenwich deceased" deeded to Jonathan Jessup land formerly held by Jonathan Huestis [Greenwich LR 2:85; FOOF 1:317-18]).
      Associations: ...in the grants of land in the Beaverbrook Plowlands and the Remote Meadows, which were based on household size, Robert Lockwood received six acres. At the date of these grants, in late 1636 and early 1637, the immediate household of Robert Lockwood was four persons (himself, his wife, and his two eldest children)...
      Comments: ...Although Robert Lockwood created no surviving records during his residence at Stamford, we place him there from 1646 to 1650 for two reasons. First, he left Watertown at the same time that others of that own, especially Nicholas Knapp, made the move to Stamford [GMN:8]. Second, in 1650, when he was already at Fairfield, he sold land in Stamford which had been the proprietary share of the Rev. Richard Denton [Stamford TR 1:41], who had left Stamford prior to 1646. This and would have been the residence of Robert Lockwood during his sojourn at Stamford.
      In 1654 two members of the family of Robert Lockwood became embroiled in the witchcraft trial of Goody Knapp. On 13 May 1654, "Susan Lockwood, wife of Robert Lockwood," and "Deborah Lockwood, of the age of 17 or thereabout," gave depositions of events on the day of Goody Knapp's execution [NHCR 2:82-83; Witchhunting 74-86].
      Bibliographic Note: In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood compiled a genealogy of the descendants of the Lockwood brothers ["Descendants of Robert Lockwood, Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from A.D. 1630," Philadelphia 1889)].
      In 1927 Clarence A. Torrey identified the wife of this immigrant NYGBR 58:395-96]. Donald Lines Jacobus treated Robert Lockwood and his descendants in the course of his work on the families of Fairfield [FOOF 1:380-87]. In 1978, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting the "Lockwood Family," Harriet Woodbury Hodge published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood, thus correcting earlier accounts of Robert Lockwood ["Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and His son Edmund Lockwood (c. 1625-1693) of Stamford, Connecticut" (New York 1978)]. In 1984 Harriet Woodbury Hodge published an account of the agnate descendants of Ephraim Lockwood, son of this immigrant ["Connecticut Ancestry" 27:9-18, 64-70, 141-47].
      In 2004 Robert Charles Anderson published a study of this immigrant, concentrating on his English origin, his landholding and the marriages of his children ["Connecticut Ancestry" 47:119-30]."

      6. The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 27, no. 1 (Sept. 1984), "The Lockwoods of Norwalk, Connecticut," by Harriet Woodbury Hodge, C.G., pp. 10-11:
      "Nearly a century ago, in 1889, two misguided compilers, Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood produced "Descendants of Robert Lockwood, Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America." Modern genealogists realize that nineteenth century family histories often contain errors, and this genealogy is among the most confused; but it continues to be used as a reliable source. In his "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield," Donald Lines Jacobus put in order the early Lockwoods of that town. In 1978 this compiler undertook a similar task for Stamford Lockwoods with "Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts and his son Edmund Lockwood (c.1625-1693) of Stamford." There remain the Lockwood founders of Norwalk and Greenwich with lines to be set straight...
