      "Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638."

      2. The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 48, no. 2 (Nov. 2005), "Further Information Regarding the English Origins of the LOCKWOOD Family," by Scott Wesley Green , pp. 53-58:
      "Introduction
      In her book on the descendants of Edmund1 Lockwood, Harriet Woodburly Hodge repeated the long standing assertion that the immigrant brothers Edmund1 and Robert1 Lockwood had their origin in the town of Combs in County Suffolk, England.[1] In his "Great Migration" sketch of Edmund1 Lockwood, Robert Charles Anderson indicated that "further research is needed before this origin can be accepted".[2] In the December 2004 issue of this publication, Mr. Anderson reviewed the evidence and concluded "that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk."[3] His recently published "Great Migration" sketch of Robert1 Lockwood includes his baptism in Combs.[4] The purpose of the present article is to provide additional information on the English origins of the family. In particular the baptism record of Edmund2 Lockwood has been identified, and an additional generation has been added to the ancestral line. A consideration of other early connections based on the dual surname Lockwood alias Baker is also presented.
      Combs Parish Transcripts Revisited
      The 1638 will of the widow Alice Lockwood mentions her grandson Joseph Sowgate, but no other Sowgates.[5] This suggests that she had a daughter who married a Sowgate, and that this daughter was likely deceased. A review of the available parish transcripts for Combs yields 5 entries of relevance:[6]
      baptism 8 Sept. 1629 of Mary, daughter of Joseph Sowgate
      baptism 7 April 1631 of Joseph, son of Joseph Sowgate
      burial 25 April 1631 of Joseph, son of Joseph Sowgate
      baptism 19 Feb. 1631 [/32] of Joseph, son of Joseph Sowgate
      burial 13 Jan. 1632[/33] of Barbara, wife of Joseph Sowgate
      There was no other baptism in Combs for a Joseph Sowgate that would fit as Alice Lockwood's grandson. This leads to the conclusion that EdmundA and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood had a previously unidentified daughter Barbara. A closer examination of the parish transcripts yields the following suggestive record:[']
      baptism 31 July 1603 of Barbara, daughter of "Edm." Lock
      Could this be a daughter of EdmundA Lockwood, with the surname abbreviated? Note that it fits conveniently between known baptisms for his son Robert on 18 Jan. 1600/01 and his daughter Alice on 14 April 1605. There were only two other baptisms listed from 1568-1655 for children with surname given as Lock(e): [8]
      31 July 1625 - Martha, daughter of Edw. Locke
      30 August 1627 - Edm., son of Edm. Locke
      The second of these would fit perfectly with what is known of Edmund2 Lockwood, who came to New England with his father Edmund1 (whose earlier son of that name had been buried 20 December 1625). The first could easily be a daughter of the Edward Lockwood who had later children baptized in Combs, beginning with son Edward on 29 April 1627. Thus it seems likely that the surname was abbreviated in all three cases. As Mr. Anderson pointed out, the original parish registers of Combs are not readily available, and the 19th-century handwritten transcription referenced here consistently uses abbreviations for given names, such as "Edw." and "Edm." Though it seems unlikely, it is possible that "Lock" for Lockwood is an abbreviation by this transcriber, rather than in the original record.
      Two further records shed some additional light on EdmundA and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood's daughter Dorothy, whose married name was given in Alice's will as Manwood:[9]
      baptism 12 July 1635 of John, son of John Manwood of Ipswich and Doro.
      burial 21 August 1636 of John, son of John Manwood of Ipswich
      EdwardB Lockwood alias Baker
      The father of EdmundA Lockwood is seen to be EdwardB Lockwood from the following will dated 7 December 1603 and proved 13 April 1604:[10]
      "In the name of God amen the viith day of December in the xlvth yeare of the reigne of or Soveigne Lathe Elizabeth by the grace of God of England, France & Ireland Queene defender of the Faith.

      Edward Lockwood alias Baker appears on the 1568 Suffolk subsidy list (a tax list) in Stowe Hundred, town of Combes Cum Finbarow Parva (i.e. Combs with Little Finborough). Taxed on 5 Pounds in Goods; tax was 4 shillings and 2 pence.[11] His son John could be the John Baker alias Lockwoode baptized in Combs on 9 March 1571/72 (the father's name is blank). Mary, daughter of Edw. Baker alias Lockwoode was baptized in Combs 30 June 1577. She was buried there as daughter of Edw. Lockwood on 2 March 1590/91. Joan, wife of Edw. Lockwood, was buried in Combs 24 January 1591/92. Finally Edw. Lockwoode, widower, was buried in Combs 15 April 1604.[12]
      Lockwood alias Baker antecedents
      The origin of the alias surname is unclear. The 1568 Suffolk subsidy list shows only one other person with this dual surname -- Rychard Lockwoode alias Baker, who was taxed 2 shillings and 8 pence on 2 pounds in lands in Combes Cum Finbarow Parva.[13] Richard Lockwood had children baptized in Combs over the period 1570-1588, with surname given variously as Lockwood(e), Lockwood(e) alias Baker, Baker alias Lockwood(e) and possibly once as Baker. The last use of the dual surname was in 1582.[14]
      The index to Suffolk and Sudbury wills leads to the following three wills involving the dual surname. Unfortunately there is probably a generation missing between these and Edward Lockwood alias Baker of Combs.
      1. Will of John Lo[c]kwood otherwise Baker the elder of Wethertingisett, yeoman. Dated 13 February 1555 and proved 20 December 1555. Mentions sons Henry and John, sister Catherine, and Thom[a]s Stanhard and Nycholas Blomfyeld.[15]
      2. Will of Frances Lo[c]kwood al[ia]s Baker of Devynhm (i.e. Debenham). Dated 30 December 1554 and proved 28 December 1555. Left money to the poor of Mendlesham. Left wife Johan tenement in Mendlesham that had been his father's for her life, and also meadow land in Brockford. After his wife's death the land is to be sold, with a hierarchy of people to be given the opportunity to purchase the lands before anyone else:
      his brother George Lockwoode 1st
      Rycharde Lockwoode 2nd
      Thom[a]s Lockwoode 3r
      John Lockwoode 4th
      The relationship of the latter three to Frances is not stated. Also mentioned in the will are his daughters Mary, Elyzabeth and Margaret and his brother-in-law Edward Shepperd.[16]
      3. Will of Johan Lockwood al[ia]s Baker of Devynhm, widow. Dated 29 June 1554 and proved 28 December 1555. Mentions daughters Margaret, Mary and Elyzabeth, brother-in-laws George Lockwood and Rychard Lockwood, sisters's child Sara Lockwood, brother Edward Shepperd and kinsman Wyllem Shepperd.[17]
      The available parish transcripts for Mendlesham show the following entries for the Lockwood alias Baker sumame.[18]
      marriage 9 June 1576 - Chas. Goddard of Mickfield and Alice Lockwood als. Baker
      marriage 19 July 1579 - Simon Sheldrake and Judith Lockwood als. Baker
      marriage 6 July 1580 - Jn. Lockwood als. Baker wid. and Itian Hill wid.
      burial 9 August 1579 - Jn. Lockwod als. Baker, s. of Jn.
      burial 11 October 1579 - Cicely Lockwod, w. of Jn. als. Baker
      There were no baptisms with the dual surname.
      The 1524 Suffolk subsidy list shows no one with the dual surname.[19] Perhaps the dual surname relates to the property mentioned in the will of Frances Lockwood above.

      i. Mary Lockwood, bapt. 5 October 1620. No further record, but since two children of Edmund1 Lockwood seem to have survived him to be raised by his brother Robert, as evidenced by the size of Robert's Watertown land grants, Mary could be one (Edmund2 is known to be the other).[41]
      ii. Susan Lockwood, bapt. 10 Dec. 1622 in Little Finboroug,[42] bur. 5 Apr. 1624 in Combs.
