2. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936, PP. 9-12:
"Jacques Cossart, son of Jacques (1), baptised at Leyden, Holland, May 29, 1639, and died at Bushwick (Brooklyn), Long Island, New York, about 1685. He was the first immigrant bearing the name of Cossart to come to the American Colonies. (See Baird's Huguenot Emigration to America, Volume 1, pages 182-3).
He was received into the Walloon Church in 1657 and was married subsequently to Lydia Willems (sometimes referred to as Lea Vilman) and went with his wife to Frankenthal, Pfalz Province, a small Huguenot village in the Bavaria highlands where three of his daughters were baptised; in about three years he returned to Leyden where they were received into the church, and again left there on April 7, 1660.
After taking their letter from the Huguenot Church at Leyden, Jacques with his wife and two children embarked on October 12, 1662, in the ship Pumerland Kerck, of which Captain Barentsen was skipper, and which on the 14th weighed anchor and passed the village on the Texel, bound with supplies to New Amsterdam. Of approximately ninety men, women and children passengers, the French composed a third and the Dutch colonists the remainder. Each adult was charged for passage and board 39 florins, children of ten years and under, except infants, half price, which was then considered a large sum of money. At that time a florin was worth about $1.60 of our money. The ship is said to have arrived early in 1663.
The charges for their passage stand thus in the accounts of the West India Company:
"Jacques Cossaris debet - Voor vrocht en cosight day hy A 1662, 12 October pr.'t Schip de Pumerlander Kerch, Schtppr Benjamin Barentsen, is herewaerts
gecomenFl. 39
Voor syn vrou 39
En 1 kinder unter 10 jaren19 1/2
T. FI 97 1/2
Some of the other passengers who accompanied Jacques and Lydia to the "new world" were:
"Claus Paulus and wife; Nictlas du put, wife and 3 children; Arnout du Tois, wife and 1 child; Gideon Merlit, wife and 4 children; Louts Louchman, wife and 3 children; Jan de Conchilier, wife and 5 children; Jacob Clopp, from Leyden, wife and 2 children; Judith jans, from Leyden, matden; jorsten Jansen; Ferdinandus de Mulder; Isaac Vermiel, wife and 4 children; Abolts Setshorn; and Claes Jansen Van Heynengen." (See Documentary History of New York, Vol. III, p. 60).
The Latinization of the name Cossart, by the addition of the letters "is" or "ius", is not uncommon. A similiar change occured in the name of Francis Daniel Pastortus, the founder of Germantown, Pa. The late Dr. Learned of the University of Pennsylvania, on visiting the town from which Pastortus came, ascertained that his name was Pastor, and the "tus" has been added.
The evolution of the name Cossart in the last 300 years makes a very interesting study in patronymics.
The Dutch in their effort to follow phonetically the spelling of French and English names, have made it quite difficult in many cases to trace families. The Christian names were nearly always recorded in the Dutch equivalent, and some surnames as well. Jacques became Jacob, Jacobus sometimes James and occasionally Jacob. Pierre was usually termed or translated Peter.
The Huguenots were generally well educated, and most of them came from the yeomanry, but as is well known, many belonged to manoral families. The social position of the Cossarts is evidenced from the will of David, son of Jacques (3), who calls himself "Gentleman".

The little town of New Amsterdam, nestled upon the lower end of Manhattan Island, presented a curious appearance to the strangers. Inclosed within the limits of Wall Street and Broadway, two hundred poorly constructed houses gave partial comfort to some fourteen hundred people. The Fort loomed up broadly in front, partly hiding within the Governor's residence, and the Dutch Church. The flag of the States General and a windmill on the western bastion, were notable indications of Holland rule.
Upon his arrival at New Amsterdam, as the City of New York was then called, he and his wife Lydia Willems, joined the Dutch Church on April 1, 1663. The births of their children are recorded here.
It is evident that Jacques Cossart was not a rich man; he with six other French immigrants sent in a petition March 19th, 1663, praying for a grant of land and seed grain with provision for six months.
He was among those that took the oath of allegiance to the British flag when New Amsterdam became New York. That he was an honest man, and trusted by both the Dutch and English alike, he was subsequently appointed collector of the church tithes; and it is supposed that he remained a member of this church until his death which occured about the year 1685; for his name appears on the tax books for the year 1684 and his wifes names appears in his place for 1686 and the following years. For collecting for the support of the clergy he was allowed a commission of 4%, and for collecting for the support of the soldiers he was alIowed a commission of 7 1/2% on his receipts, with the provision that he make good from his commission whatever shall fall short'. (See Court Minutes of New Amsterdam).
In October 1664 the names of Pieter G. Stuyvesart, Jacob Cossar, together with several others, swore allegiance to the British by the following oath:
"I swear by the name of the almighty God, that I will be a true subject, to the King of Great Brittaine, and will obey all such commands, as I shall receive from his Majestie, His Royal Highness James, Duke of York, and such Governors and Officers as from time to time are appointed over me, by his authority, and none other, whilst I live in any of his Majesties territoryes: So help me God." (See Documents relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York, 1853; Vol. III, by Broadhead).
In 1667 Jacques Cossart purchased a house and lot in New York City, the site of this property is now occupied by the New York Produce Exchange Building at the corner of Whitehall and Marketfield Streets. This is near the Bowling Green Park and Broadway. The tower of this building is directly over what was once the back yard to the property of Jacques.
The following is a description of the property acquired by him, the location of which was in Block D, Lot 1. "April 5, 1667 - Confirmed by Governor Nicolls to Jacques Cossart (Patents Albany IV: 39).
Recites transport Jacob Leenderston Vander Grift to Simon Jansen Romelin August 26, 1666 (See Liber B, New York Co. 101), and is by him since conveyed to Jacques Cossart.

" (See The Inconography of Manhattan Island. The Dutch Grants, Vol. II, at page 375).
Sometime after 1673 Jacques removed to a small farm on Long Island at a place known as Bushwick (now in Brooklyn). After 1685 the name of his wife appears on an old church list as "Lydia Willems, widow of Jacques Cossart." The tax lists show that he first acquired about ten acres of land which was subsequently increased to about forty acres. Records show that in 1683 he paid a total tax on personal property and realestate of L 114. At this time he had 2 horses, 5 cows, 1 hog and 18 morgens of land.
There seems to be no record of the death of Lydia Willems, widow of Jacques Cossart. Her name does not appear on the census returns of 1698, she probably died before this date. The church buildings have all disappeared and with them most of the church books and documents. The burying grounds have disappeared likewise, and no one knows positively where he or his wife were buried. One might hazard the guess that the place of their burial now lies under the paving stones or skyscrapers of Brooklyn, and not be far from the truth.
In the Walloon Church records of Frankenthal, Germany, shows that Jacques Cossart and Lea Villemin were married there August 14, 1656.
There was a tradition among grand-children and great-grandchildren of Jacques to the effect that he had two brothers who came to America. One brother remained and the other renounced his Huguenot faith and returned to Europe to claim the family fortune. If this tradition is based on fact, this may account for Jan Cossart, a wealthy merchant of New York City, who died there about 1700. His will is of record. And also for a Dr. George Cossart living in New York City about this time. There was a Joris or George Cossart who, it is claimed returned to Europe on a ship that was never afterwards heard from. The writer has never been able to connect Jan and Joris Cossart up with other members of the Cossart family and assumes they are the traditional brothers of Jacques Cossart.
The children of Jacques Cossart and his wife, Lydia Willems (or Lea Villman) are of record as follows:
CHILDREN:
4. Lea Cossart, baptised at Frankenthal, Germany, in the Walloon Church, May 31, 1657. Is mentioned in the ship's log as aged five years in 1662. Her God-father was Philippe Le Febure, and her God-mother was Lea Lanoix, the wife of Elie Charteur (or Etie Chantem). This was the eldest child of the immigrants of which we can find no further record. It is presumed she died young.
5. Rachel Cossart, baptised in the Walloon Church at Frankenthal, Bavaria, November 11, 1658. Her God-father was Eli Charteur and her God-mother was Rachel Willmin, a step daughter of Eli Charteur. We can find no further record of Rachel. It is presumed that she died in Europe prior to the emigration of her parents.
6. Susanne Cossart, christened at Frankenthal, in the Walloon Church of that little town in the Bavarian highlands, February 3, 1661. Her God-father was Charles August, and her God-mother was Susanne Poland of that place. Susanne is mentioned in the ship's log as being 18 month old in 1662 when her parents took passage on the sailing ship the "Pumerland Church". We can find no further record of this child and it is presumed she died young.
7. Jannetje Cossart, baptised in the Dutch Church of New York City, N.Y. , November 28, 1665. She died Circa 1736. Married Jacobus Goelet of New York City.
8. Jacques (Jacob) Cossart, baptised April 11, 1668 in the Dutch Church at New York City. Died in 1731. Married Anna Maria Springsteen and they are the progenitors of the Coshow, Cashow, Cashaw, Kershaw and Kershow families.
9. David Cossart, born in New York City, July 18, 1671. Was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church of that place. Died Circa 1740. Married Styntje jorts Van Horne and they are the progenitors of the Cossatrt, Cozatt, Cassat, Cassatt etc. , families. One branch use Cozart.
10. Anthony Cossart, baptised November 19, 1673. Was a member of the Dutch Freformed Church. Died in Somerset County, N.J. Date of death unknown. Married 1st Elizabeth Tymensen Valentine; married 2nd Judith. Progenitors of the Cosad, Cozad, Casad and Cozart families." 		Cossart, Jacques (I5891)

1.2.7 10 ANTHONY COSSART: (Jacques 3; Jacques 1).
Anthony Cossart, the youngest son of the immigrant Jacques Cossart and Lydia Willems who came to New Amsterdam October 14, 1662, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on November 14, 1673 and was baptised there November 19, 1673 as shown by the records of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City.
Anthony married 1st time August 2, 1696 to Elizabeth Tymensen Valentine, the daughter of Jan Tymensen Valentine of Schenectady, New York. The marriage records of the Dutch Church, New York, 1639-1801, shows:
“Anthony Cousart Ingeschreven July 17, 1696, j.m. Van N. Yorck, en Lysbeth Valentine, August 2, 1696, j.d. Van Schenectade, beyde woonende alhier.”
Anthony married a second time to “Judith”, and had two children by her, i.e., Elizabeth and David.
Anthony Cousaar and his wife Elizabeth sold their house and lot in Cripple Bush Brooklyn (Near present site of Brooklyn Navy Yard), March 26, 1703. (Reference: Brooklyn Deed Book, Liber 2, page 190); and on the records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Raritan at Somerville, N.J., appears the name of Anthony Cossart.
A list of Freeholders of Brookland, Census of Kings County, L.I., about 1698 — shows:
“Anthony Coesser, 1 male, 1 wife, l child, 1 apprentice and no slaves.”
It appears to be a reasonable supposition that Anthony, with his eldest son Jacob migrated to the Raritan region of New Jersey prior to 1712 with other settlers who left in such large numbers from the neighborhood of Brooklyn between 1680 and 1720. He is listed as Anthony Cozar among the early settlers of Piscataway township, Middlesex County, N.J. This list was published in the Boston Evening Transcript of May 3, 1916, and represents the leading names of the early settlers to this new colony.
His son Jacob was the progenitor of the Casad, Cosad Cozad and Cozart families found throughout the United States today.
The four sons of Anthony Cossart became the fathers of numerous families, the descendants of which are widely scattered throughout the United States and some in foreign lands.
By referring to old documents, church lists, etc., now on file in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, it will be found that about this time the family began changing the spelling of the name from French and German to English, and it may be found spelled in different ways, Viz., Cozad, Cosad, Casad and Cozart. The descendants of the three eldest sons of 601 — Jacob Cosart, i.e. Jacob, Samuel and Job, finally adopted COZAD as their name, while the descendants of his son Anthony, retained the “s” instead of “z” in the name. Those remaining in the east, spelling it COSAD and those in the West later changed it to CASAD.
For most of the foregoing early history of the family we are indebted to the late Prof. Edmund J. James, of the University of Chicago, and the late Oliver L. Cozad. of Marion, Ohio, they having traveled through the east and having access to public documents, church records, cemeteries, etc., in New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey, and spent much time in looking up the early history of the family. Mr. James was a great-great grandson of Anthony and Catherine Coon-Cosad, through. Thomas, Anthony Wayne and Amanda Kezia, wife of the Rev. C.D. James, of the Illinois conference.
New Jersey was first settled largely by Puritans, Quakers and Scotch Presbyterians. David and Anthony Cossart (sons of the immigrant Jacques 3) were among the early settlers on the banks of the Raritan. The family later scattered through other portions of the state. Morris County was formed from a portion of Hunterdon in 1738. The town of Mendham was called Roxiticus prior to 1749.
Morris Township, Washington, County, Pa., or that portion lying along the banks of the middle branch of “Ten Mile Creek” In the vicinity of the village of Prosperity, was first settled by the Lindleys, Baldwins, Parkhursts and other Morris County, N.J. families about 1785—90. They Anthony Cossart, Son of Jacques II the immigrant were joined in 1796 by other Morris County families, among the number being the COZADS, Casterlines, Rays, Owens’, Axtels, Mintons, Days and others. The town was so named on account of the many Morris Co., N.J. families who first settled it.
“October 1717 - Anthony Cozar was a witness to the Will of Edward Doty of Piscataway Township, Middlesex County, N.J.” (Reference: New Jersey Archives - Abstract of Wills 1670—1730, Series 1, page 141).
THE JUSTICE PAPERS:
“Anthony Cossart, bapt. November 19, 1673; married lst August 2, 1696 Elizabeth Valentine of Schenectady, N.Y.; married second Judith (?). His nephew 13 - Raphael Goelet, mentions his uncle Anthony Cossart’s family as living at Raritan, N.J. He had four children by his first wife. It is believed that Anthony Cossart lived in the vicinity of Somerville, Somerset County, N.J., and that he is buried somewhere in that vicinity.

2. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936, PP. 9-12:
"Jacques Cossart, son of Jacques (1), baptised at Leyden, Holland, May 29, 1639, and died at Bushwick (Brooklyn), Long Island, New York, about 1685. He was the first immigrant bearing the name of Cossart to come to the American Colonies. (See Baird's Huguenot Emigration to America, Volume 1, pages 182-3).
He was received into the Walloon Church in 1657 and was married subsequently to Lydia Willems (sometimes referred to as Lea Vilman) and went with his wife to Frankenthal, Pfalz Province, a small Huguenot village in the Bavaria highlands where three of his daughters were baptised; in about three years he returned to Leyden where they were received into the church, and again left there on April 7, 1660.
After taking their letter from the Huguenot Church at Leyden, Jacques with his wife and two children embarked on October 12, 1662, in the ship Pumerland Kerck, of which Captain Barentsen was skipper, and which on the 14th weighed anchor and passed the village on the Texel, bound with supplies to New Amsterdam. Of approximately ninety men, women and children passengers, the French composed a third and the Dutch colonists the remainder. Each adult was charged for passage and board 39 florins, children of ten years and under, except infants, half price, which was then considered a large sum of money. At that time a florin was worth about $1.60 of our money. The ship is said to have arrived early in 1663.
The charges for their passage stand thus in the accounts of the West India Company:
"Jacques Cossaris debet - Voor vrocht en cosight day hy A 1662, 12 October pr.'t Schip de Pumerlander Kerch, Schtppr Benjamin Barentsen, is herewaerts
gecomenFl. 39
Voor syn vrou 39
En 1 kinder unter 10 jaren19 1/2
T. FI 97 1/2
Some of the other passengers who accompanied Jacques and Lydia to the "new world" were:
"Claus Paulus and wife; Nictlas du put, wife and 3 children; Arnout du Tois, wife and 1 child; Gideon Merlit, wife and 4 children; Louts Louchman, wife and 3 children; Jan de Conchilier, wife and 5 children; Jacob Clopp, from Leyden, wife and 2 children; Judith jans, from Leyden, matden; jorsten Jansen; Ferdinandus de Mulder; Isaac Vermiel, wife and 4 children; Abolts Setshorn; and Claes Jansen Van Heynengen." (See Documentary History of New York, Vol. III, p. 60).
The Latinization of the name Cossart, by the addition of the letters "is" or "ius", is not uncommon. A similiar change occured in the name of Francis Daniel Pastortus, the founder of Germantown, Pa. The late Dr. Learned of the University of Pennsylvania, on visiting the town from which Pastortus came, ascertained that his name was Pastor, and the "tus" has been added.
The evolution of the name Cossart in the last 300 years makes a very interesting study in patronymics.
The Dutch in their effort to follow phonetically the spelling of French and English names, have made it quite difficult in many cases to trace families. The Christian names were nearly always recorded in the Dutch equivalent, and some surnames as well. Jacques became Jacob, Jacobus sometimes James and occasionally Jacob. Pierre was usually termed or translated Peter.
The Huguenots were generally well educated, and most of them came from the yeomanry, but as is well known, many belonged to manoral families. The social position of the Cossarts is evidenced from the will of David, son of Jacques (3), who calls himself "Gentleman".
Arrival in New Amsterdam.
The little town of New Amsterdam, nestled upon the lower end of Manhattan Island, presented a curious appearance to the strangers. Inclosed within the limits of Wall Street and Broadway, two hundred poorly constructed houses gave partial comfort to some fourteen hundred people. The Fort loomed up broadly in front, partly hiding within the Governor's residence, and the Dutch Church. The flag of the States General and a windmill on the western bastion, were notable indications of Holland rule.
Upon his arrival at New Amsterdam, as the City of New York was then called, he and his wife Lydia Willems, joined the Dutch Church on April 1, 1663. The births of their children are recorded here.
It is evident that Jacques Cossart was not a rich man; he with six other French immigrants sent in a petition March 19th, 1663, praying for a grant of land and seed grain with provision for six months.
He was among those that took the oath of allegiance to the British flag when New Amsterdam became New York. That he was an honest man, and trusted by both the Dutch and English alike, he was subsequently appointed collector of the church tithes; and it is supposed that he remained a member of this church until his death which occured about the year 1685; for his name appears on the tax books for the year 1684 and his wifes names appears in his place for 1686 and the following years. For collecting for the support of the clergy he was allowed a commission of 4%, and for collecting for the support of the soldiers he was alIowed a commission of 7 1/2% on his receipts, with the provision that he make good from his commission whatever shall fall short'. (See Court Minutes of New Amsterdam).
In October 1664 the names of Pieter G. Stuyvesart, Jacob Cossar, together with several others, swore allegiance to the British by the following oath:
"I swear by the name of the almighty God, that I will be a true subject, to the King of Great Brittaine, and will obey all such commands, as I shall receive from his Majestie, His Royal Highness James, Duke of York, and such Governors and Officers as from time to time are appointed over me, by his authority, and none other, whilst I live in any of his Majesties territoryes: So help me God." (See Documents relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York, 1853; Vol. III, by Broadhead).
In 1667 Jacques Cossart purchased a house and lot in New York City, the site of this property is now occupied by the New York Produce Exchange Building at the corner of Whitehall and Marketfield Streets. This is near the Bowling Green Park and Broadway. The tower of this building is directly over what was once the back yard to the property of Jacques.

" (See The Inconography of Manhattan Island. The Dutch Grants, Vol. II, at page 375).
Sometime after 1673 Jacques removed to a small farm on Long Island at a place known as Bushwick (now in Brooklyn). After 1685 the name of his wife appears on an old church list as "Lydia Willems, widow of Jacques Cossart." The tax lists show that he first acquired about ten acres of land which was subsequently increased to about forty acres. Records show that in 1683 he paid a total tax on personal property and realestate of L 114. At this time he had 2 horses, 5 cows, 1 hog and 18 morgens of land.
There seems to be no record of the death of Lydia Willems, widow of Jacques Cossart. Her name does not appear on the census returns of 1698, she probably died before this date. The church buildings have all disappeared and with them most of the church books and documents. The burying grounds have disappeared likewise, and no one knows positively where he or his wife were buried. One might hazard the guess that the place of their burial now lies under the paving stones or skyscrapers of Brooklyn, and not be far from the truth.
In the Walloon Church records of Frankenthal, Germany, shows that Jacques Cossart and Lea Villemin were married there August 14, 1656.
There was a tradition among grand-children and great-grandchildren of Jacques to the effect that he had two brothers who came to America. One brother remained and the other renounced his Huguenot faith and returned to Europe to claim the family fortune. If this tradition is based on fact, this may account for Jan Cossart, a wealthy merchant of New York City, who died there about 1700. His will is of record. And also for a Dr. George Cossart living in New York City about this time. There was a Joris or George Cossart who, it is claimed returned to Europe on a ship that was never afterwards heard from. The writer has never been able to connect Jan and Joris Cossart up with other members of the Cossart family and assumes they are the traditional brothers of Jacques Cossart.
The children of Jacques Cossart and his wife, Lydia Willems (or Lea Villman) are of record as follows:
CHILDREN:
4. Lea Cossart, baptised at Frankenthal, Germany, in the Walloon Church, May 31, 1657. Is mentioned in the ship's log as aged five years in 1662. Her God-father was Philippe Le Febure, and her God-mother was Lea Lanoix, the wife of Elie Charteur (or Etie Chantem). This was the eldest child of the immigrants of which we can find no further record. It is presumed she died young.
5. Rachel Cossart, baptised in the Walloon Church at Frankenthal, Bavaria, November 11, 1658. Her God-father was Eli Charteur and her God-mother was Rachel Willmin, a step daughter of Eli Charteur.

6. Susanne Cossart, christened at Frankenthal, in the Walloon Church of that little town in the Bavarian highlands, February 3, 1661. Her God-father was Charles August, and her God-mother was Susanne Poland of that place. Susanne is mentioned in the ship's log as being 18 month old in 1662 when her parents took passage on the sailing ship the "Pumerland Church". We can find no further record of this child and it is presumed she died young.

Notes for ANTHONY COSSART (COZART): From the book: THE COSSAIRT FAMILY by Joseph A. Cossairt (received from Joyce Nickless)
"The four sons of Anthony Cossart became the fathers of numerous families, the descendants of which are widely scattered throughout the United States and some foreign lands. By referring to old documents, church lists, etc., now on file in NY,NJ & PA, it will be found that about this time the family began changing the spelling of the name from the French & German to English and it may be found spelled in different ways, viz.,Cosad,Cosed,Casad and cosart. The descendants of the three eldest sons of Anthony's son Jacob, i.e.,Jacob,Samuel and Job, finally adopted COZAD as their name, while the descendants of his son Anthony, retained the "s" instead of a "z" in the name. Those remaining in the east, spelled it COSAD and those in the west later changed it to CASAD. (note: there are other spellings of the name. Anthony's descendants also used COZART and CAZORT)

A Brooklyn census shows that his family at that time consisted of a wife, two children, an apprentice, and ten slaves, evincing the fact that the second generation of Cossarts in America were slave owners. Their farm was in the vicinity of the present site of Brooklyn Navy Yard. In 1703, they sold their house and lot in Brooklyn, and in 1712 were living at Raritan, N.J., where another son Anthony was born and was baptised into the Reformed Dutch Church, August 6, 1712.

"Samuel Rundle at the age of thirty married Hannah Hardy on March 1st 1715. She was the daughter of Samuel Hardy and Rebecca (Furbust) Hardy. She was about 22 years old. There is conflicting information on Samuel2 Hardy's 1st (Rebecca Hobby) wife's death, 2nd m to Rebecca Furbust May 12, 1692, and birth of Hannah 3 Hardy on July 06, 1693 (see pg. 87 Noyes). Samuel Rundle's father died a few months prior to this marriage. Samuel and his wife had ten children, rearing nine of them to maturity while one died in infancy. They were in order of birth: Hannah, Rebecca, Samuel, Ezra, Nathaniel 1, Nathaniel 2, Amy, Rachel, Reuben, and Ann. All married.

Samuel died July 06, 1761 at the age of 76 yrs. His wife, Hannah Hardy Rundle died Dec. 1768 at the age of 75 yrs. Their place of burial is unknown. They are probably buried in unmarked graves in the same cemetery as his parents. Descendants who have visited the old pioneer cemeteries of Greenwich state there are many old field stones placed about the cemetery to mark the various graves. Unfortunately, there are no cuttings on the stones to identify any of those persons buried there.

1. The book "Stamford Town Records, Vol. 1, 1641-1723," transcribed and annotated by Paul R. Finch, NEHGS (Boston, 2011), p. 147: "p. 155 [1:123 (124)]: Hanah, daughter to Samll & Rebeckah Hardy, his first wife, born the 6 of July 1693."
The author also notes: "Since Samuel Hardy was married to two different women named Rebecca, namely, Rebecca Hobby, married on 18 Nov. 1686 (STR 1:101) and Rebecca Furbush, married on 12 May 1698 (STR 1:123), the clerk who entered the birth records of Samuel's children on this page distinguished the two by indicating which children were by his first wife, and which were by his second. Nevertheless, Huntington ("Stamford Registration," 40) recorded the marriage to Rebecca Furbush as occurring in 1693 (rather than 1698); by doing so, he incorrectly placed the birth of Hannah Hardy with Samuel's second wife."

"William Rundle2, William 1.
There is some confusion about the wife of William2 Rundle. It's been said she was the widow Reynolds when marrying William. The Nicholas Knapp Genealogy, pg. 13, says Sarah Knapp, "m. 1-4-1718/9 Peter Renolls? 2nd 4-12-1722, William Rundell..." However, "the History & Desc. of John & Sarah Reynolds," pg. 49 says "Peter Reynolds m.Sarah Knapp Jany. 14, 1718, died Feby. 5, 1743-44." If Peter's death date is accurage, William's wife could not be the widow Reynolds. Pag 9-10 of Knapp has a Sarah (D-11) dau. of Joshua & Abigail (Butler) Knapp, b. 5-19-1733. (See D.A.R. - she m. 1-14-1769, Peter Semell.??)" The dates are those of the Sarah who m. William2 Rundle, and it is his death date. It is obvious more research is needed to discern which Sarah Knapp was the wife of William2.

ix. LYDIA KNAPP, b. say 1647; m. Fairfield 16 Jan 1666/7 Isaac Hall [FOOF 1:250]... COMMENTS: ... In the Beaverbrook Plowlands Nicholas Knapp received six acres, and in the Remote Meadows seven acres. Since these lands were granted in part on household size, this would suggest a birth in the interval between the two grants; the birth of Caleb fell exactly one month before the Beaverbrook Plowlands grant, and it may be that this was not taken into account for the Beaverbrook Plowlands grant, but was for the Remote Meadows grant. At the date of the Remote Meadows grant of seven acres, the Nicholas Knapp family was known to have five members: Nicholas, wife Elinor, and sons Timothy, Joshua and Caleb. This permits the possibility that there were one or two more persons in the household, not necessarily children; but the difference might also be explained if Nicholas had sufficient wealth in cattle, the other criterion for the size of these grants."

"KNAPP, NICHOLAS, had land here in 1649, as appears from the land records. His wife, Eleanor, died August 16, 1658.

Sarah, Jan. 5, 1639; Ruth, Jan. 6, 16A1; and Hannah, March 6, 1643. After coming to Stamford he had probably Moses and Lydia. After the death of his wife, Eleanor, he married, March 9, 1659, Unity, widow of Peter Brown, who had also been the widow of Clement Buxton. He died in April 1670, and his will, now in the probate records of Fairfield, dated the 15th of that month, names the children in the following order: Moses, Timothy, Caleb, Sarah Disbrow, Hannah, Lidea, Ruth, and Sarah and Unica Buxton, daughters of Clement."

Nicolas Knap, his wife Elinor, and seven children came to America on the "Arbella" in 1630. They came from Burys St. Mary in Suffolk, probably.

After the death of his wife, he married Unica Brown, the recent widow of Clement Buxton, and moved into the Buxton home on the east side of West Street.
His grandson Moses was a blacksmith in the 1680s.

3. Email of karenbw@earthlink.net 13 Jul 2003: "...a couple of other thoughts about these Winner guys. From what I've seen, they are all in Bucks County until about 1775 (very rough date). Then they start going elsewhere. There is a Henry in Philadelphia about that time. Abraham shows up in Mt. Holly, NJ, and James shows up in Hunterdon/Sussex County, NJ. This James does become the first of the line that we all call the Lycoming line - because he moves from New Jersey and settles in Lycoming County, PA. He is married to his cousin (Mary Kester, so the Quaker records seem to show). An intriguing question is how is Mary his cousin - anyone know? Even though James and Mary are in "north Jersey" for awhile and then Penn., the Quaker meetings that each of them belong to in New Jersey (Hardwick & Mendham and Kingwood) have ties to the Quaker meetings in Burlington County, NJ all the way to the meetings in Egg Harbor, Atlantic County, NJ. So, that's why I think all of us Winners come from the guys in Bucks County. There isn't anyone I've found that doesn't seem to be attached to them and from the same area. Though - who knows for sure..."

James Winner of Quaker Hill.
The death of Quaker James Winner in 1829 in his two-story log home at Quaker Hill in Lycoming Co., Pa., with its white carved colonial door and fan-light above that he had made himself, coincided with the end of an era in Hepburn Township. For in the same year, the Quaker meetings at the stone Pine Grove Preparative Meeting-house nearby were discontinued. The split between the Hicksite and Orthodox Friends had proved too much for the little meeting that had opened its doors in 1797, and the supervising Muncy Monthly Meeting down river had closed it for lack of attendance.
One wonders what James Winner thought of his past life during his closing year, a life begun when the Indian Wars were not yet over, continued through years of unrest leading up to the Revolutionary War and the later War of 1812, and one which spanned a cultural change from a British to an American way of life characterized by expansion into the interior forests of the continent.
In its quiet way, his own Will is the best tribute to the man - quiet, thoughtful, conscientious, planning for a future he would not live to see, wise in the ways of human frailties, and somehow conveying an undertone of affection and gratefulness for the small boons that life had bestowed upon him. Characteristics that also can be said to belong to his neighbors and peers who had settled and also died at Quaker Hill.
There is no doubt that the real founder of Quaker Hill was Samuel Carpenter, a Quaker from New Jersey who forgo his religious beliefs to become a Pennsylvania revolutionary soldier, going down from Northumberland County to Philadelphia to defend it against the British who were coming across New Jersey. The fiirst record of Carpenter in the County was in 1773 when as a young surveyor, he and the Robb boys and others were appointed to lay out a road from "John Scudder's place" (Muncy Borough) "to the Wyalusing Path" (on Muncy Creek). In 1778, he was at Ft. Muncy along with his brothers John and Joseph,and his two brothers-in-law, Joseph and Amos Hoagland - signers of a petition asking for help against Indian raids in Northumberland County. This was at the time of the Big Runaway, when the Northumberland settlers were forced to flee their homes up river and retreat first to Ft. Muncy, later Ft. Augusta (Sunbury) and on into Berks Co. At this time, Samuel Carpenter appears to be living among his relatives around Pennsdale, and does not move to Loyalsock Township until after the War. In 1786 he is taxed in Lycoming Township.
Samuel Carpenter chose for his home after his marriage land including the site of present day Warrensville, in Eldred Township, Lycoming co. In 1773 the land was in Loyalsock Township, Northumberland Co.; in 1795 Loyalsock Township became part of the new Lycoming Co.; in 1804, Hepburn Township was formed from Loyalsock; and finally in 1858, Eldred Township was formed from Hepburn. A tributary stream, West Hill Creek, watered the land, running into Loyalsock Creek to the east.
Taking a leaf from the book of his patron, Quaker Samuel Wallace (Wallis) of Muncy, who died in 1795, Samuel Carpenter encouraged the migration of his Quaker friends and relatives in New Jersey, who had suffered a great deal more in the Revolution than had the Pennsylvania Quakers. Thus the inter-related families of Carpenter, Willson, Lundy, Hoagland, Kester, Winner, Collins, Pattersons, Marshalls found their way to the area. By 1797 there were enough families to form the Pine Grove Preparative Meeting, and Samuel Carpenter donated land for both meeting house and school. At that time Pine Grove was under the jurisdiction of Catawissa Monthly Meeting; later, it was supervised by Muncy MM. By 1802 Carpenter had cleared the site of Warrensville, built a grist-mill, a saw-mill, and a wool carding machine for the use of the new settlers. Today his house still stands, but the stone Meeting House is gone. The red brick Quaker School, now a public school of the township, still exists.
Samuel Carpenter was the son of Samuel Sr. and Elizabeth (Willson) Carpenter, Quakers of the Kingwood MM, Sussex Co., N.J. in the 1760s. His brothers John and Joseph had also settled in Northumberland County by 1774. Joseph and his wife Sara (Lundy) were among. the founders of the Pennsdale MM, just north of Muncy - they donated land for both a meeting house and a school. By legend, each of these three brothers had three sons named John, Joseph and Samuel. John and Joseph died as Quakers, but Samuel was disowned for his military service.
James Winner migrated to Quaker Hill about the spring of 1801 from Oxford Township, Sussex Co., N.J., with his second wife, Widow Mary Kester, and his six children by his first wife, Mary Parker, who had been the widow of Randle Collins. He took up a 500 acre plot of land, some 400 of which he still owned at his death in 1829. He was a farmer, a weaver, and a woodworker. He and his second wife ran into difficulties with their church, as they had married in New Jersey out of meeting. By Quaker reckoning at that time, they were first cousins.
But Mary Kester was a woman of strong religious beliefs, much more so than Mary Parker had been, and the and her adopted children were not to be denied their church. By admitting their error and satisfying the elders' concern (including a substantial donation to the church by James), the Winner family was admitted into Pine Grove Meeting in good standing.
Coming from a family that was only half Quaker, James Winner in his earlier years had several times found his beliefs running contrary to those of the Quaker church. Consequently, while serving apprenticeship as a teenage boy in Middletown Township, Bucks Co., Pa. in 1775 - learning to become a weaver - James had served a term as soldier in the Bucks County Associators, although his brothers Isaac and Jacob, as Quakers, did not. (James' elder cousin, James, son of John of Lower Makefield, had already moved to Lower Makefield Township with his brother John Jr. and served as an associator there in the same year.) Again, during later years in New Jersey, James Winner married his first wife out of meeting, as well as his second wife. However, he always returned to the church and brought up his children to be Quakers.
In 1959 his house which was taken over at his death by his son Jacob, was still standing, although rented out. The white colonial door and the carved stair bannister inside were still there. Since then, I have heard that the house has been abandoned, and the door and bannister ripped out by an antique dealer. Only the Abraham Winner branch of the family kept part of the original homestead within the family. Abraham's great-grandson, William Irving Winner, died on the farm in 1967, age 76 years.
One of the reasons that these early settlers had bought land among the hills north of the river valley was because of the tall trees and many springs and runs. According to old accounts, the water level of the land was much higher than it is today. The tall trees and springs were thought to be signs of fertile ground, and of course provided good timber for houses and barns; and the springs provided good water for drinking and springhouse purposes. The rock walls of James Winner's large spring house were still there in 1959.
The Winners lived in an area called Beech Woods, and they all learned to be woodworkers. Jacob Winner, for instance, specialized in coffins. His daughter Mary, who married William Collins of Loyalsock Twp., learned as a child to sand and varnish the coffins he made. Jacob also taught his children and grandchildren to make furniture, the type known as the painted farm furniture of Pennsylvania.
The Winner graves in the nearby burying ground beside the Meeting House (now known as Quaker Hill Cemetery) at first had no stones. Not as sophisticated as Philadelphia Quakers, this little group somehow felt gravemarkers were abstentatious. Later generations, however, showed a tendency to mark their ancestors' graves, and so were the Winner graves, with plain native stone slabs carved only with the individual's initials. There are still many unmarked graves in the cemetery.
By legend, at the time James Winner migrated to Lycoming County, he had only two brothers still living, one in New Jersey, and one in Bucks County. Also by legend, he is said to have named his three sons for his three brothers. His elder brother was Abraham Winner of Mt. Holly, Burlington Co., New Jersey, an innkeeper and a New Jersey Revolutionary Soldier. The second brother Isaac was taxed at Middletown Township, Bucks Co., Pa. as early as 1779, although it is believed he was born in Burlington Co., N.J. The third brother, Jacob Winner, died in Southhampton Township, Bucks Co., Pa. in 1778. (Both Isaac and Jacob were weavers.) Dirck Hogeland signed bond for the estate. The father of James is considered to be Isaac Sr. who was also taxed in Middletown Twp., Bucks Co., Pa. In 1779 but then disappears from the tax lists. The mother of James is said to be Rebecca. His birth record eludes us as it is not known which side of the Delaware River he was born on. (His cousin James mentioned before, died in Warwick Township, Bucks Co, Pa. In 1796.) The marriage records of Isaac Jr. and Jacob Winner are found in the New Jersey Archives.
The Winner family in Lycoming Co., Pa. has always been tied to the Winner family of Philadelphia, which included William Winner, the artist, and Septimus Winner, the composer. After James served his apprenticeship in Middletown Twp., he moved to Bristol Township where his uncle Joseph Winner lived. James was taxed there as a weaver in 1781, probably living in the home of Joseph.
By tradition, this Joseph Winner of Bristol was third generation in America, born 1735 in New Jersey, son of Joseph, grandson of Capt. James. Joseph of Bristol was taylor, and had served in the Indian Wars in the 1750s. While James was in Bristol, one of Joseph's younger sons, Joseph born 1776 was only a small child. This 4th generation Joseph moved to Philadelphia and married Elizabeth Evans. His son Joseph, 5th generation, moved to Lycoming County in the 1840s, but had moved back to Philadelphia by 1850. However, on the 1850 census in Lycoming County is one Seth Winner, age 64 (born 1786) living in Porter Township with his wife Rebecca and son Robert. This family probably belongs to the Philadelphia branch also.
After spending a year at Bristol, James Winner, the weaver, moved to Falls, Pa. and was taxed there in 1782 on two cows and a horse. Previously, in 1779 his uncle James' Estate was taxed at Falls. This elder James Winner served as a soldier in 1745, and again is listed as a soldier at Newton in 1756.
From Falls, James Winner moved across the river to Oxford Furnace in Sussex County and married Widow Mary Collins, probably in 1785. She was born Mary Parker, Jr., daughter of Humphrey Parker, Jr., a Welsh Quaker from Gwynned, Pa., and his wife, Tamar Scott, whom he had married at the First Prebyterian Church in Philadelphia in 1744. Tamar is believed to be the daughter of John and Hannah Scott of Bucks County. (A John and Henry Scott also had migrated to Northumberland County before tho Revolution, and are believed to he Tamar's brothers.) Mary Parker was born c. 1763 and had married in 1779 Randle Collins of the Kingwood MM, although they married out of meeting. Randle was the son of Jonathan and Ann Collins of Bucks Co., Pa. an Sussex Co., N.J. Randle Collins died quite young and it is not known if Mary had children by him. She evidently returned to her father's home in Oxford Township, and remarried about 1785 to James Winner, again out of meeting. Humphrey Parker Jr. died 1781, with his wife Tamer surviving.
Mary Parker's brothers and sisters were:
Thomas Parker married Susanna Lundy
Henry Parker married Martha Bishop.
Rebecca married, possibly a Walters
Sara married, possibly a Walters
Sara married, possibly a Phillips
Mahlon married a Miss Mary
John married ___
Amos married Mary Patterson
Ephraim married 1. Sarah Patterson, 2. Ruth Kester
Many of the Parker brothers and sisters migrated to Fishing creek, now Columbia County, Pa., and their Quaker records are found at Muncy and Millville. John Parker and John Scott were taxed in Mahoning Twp., Northumberland County in 1785; Thomas Parker was in Catawissa Twp. with Peter Kester.
Mary Parker and James Winner's six children were:
Abraham born May 5 1786, Oxford Twp., Sussex Co., N.J.
Isaac born July 21, 1787
Rebecca born November 14, 1788
Jacob born 2nd month-22-1790
James born June 6, 1793
Sarah born August 13, 1797
There are conflicts in various records, even the Quaker records, between Mary Parker and Mary Kester, and between Rebecca Winner and Rachel Winner. "The Lundy Family", by W. C. Armstrong, 1902 shows Rebecca as the girl born November 14th who married Stacy Lundy, yet states she was the daughter of Mary Kester. James Winner's will mentions the "family" of Mary Kester, proving that she did have offspring not fathered by himself, and legend in the family speaks of Rachel Winner who married a Kester, and refers to Rachel as the daughter of James. The identity of Mary Parker is proven by the Bible of Jacob Winner, on the flyleaf of which is written that the Bible was presented to him in 1833 by his "mother" Mary (who obviously was Mary Kester), but that he himself was the son of Mary Parker who had first been married to Randle Collins. It is possible that Mary Kester had a daughter Rachel who took the name Winner and later married a Kester. Quaker records indicate that Rebecca is the daughter of Mary Parker. [KP note: no Rachel is noted in James' will of 1829.]
Mary Parker died sometime after the birth of her daughter Sarah in August 1797 and before August 1801, after James had moved with his second wife to Quaker Hill. She was buried in New Jersey. Mary Kester died sometime after 1833 and was buried alongside James in Quaker Hill Cemetery.
The Kester family of Northumberland and Lycoming Cos. are descended from Johannes Koster (Kester, Caster) and wife Elizabeth Cassell, who settled in Germantown, Pa., 1694. They were of Dutch descent, and some children went to New Jersey, and others stayed in Bucks Co. Although some branches were Quaker, the Kester family were traditionally soldiers, and quite a few of them were Revolutionary Soldiers in various states. The name is also spelled Kuster, Kister
I. Abraham WINNER, born 5-5-1786 Oxford Twp., Sussex Co., New Jersey, died 2-19-1850 on his farm near Quaker Hill, Lycoming Co., Pa. On 4-25-1810 he married Rachel Warner, d/o Joseph and Sara (Carpenter) Warner of Muncy Twp., Rachel was born 7-14-1792 Muncy Twp., Northumberland [now Lycoming] Co., Pa. and was a direct descendant of William Warner, born 1627 Blockley Parish, Worcestershire, England, who had received a grant of land on the Schuykill River from William Penn. Rachel died 8-6-1843 and is buried with her husband in Quaker Hill Cemetery. Their farm was part of the original Winner homestead. They had twelve children: Jesse, Ellis, Joseph, Stacy, Mary, Martha, Enoch, Benjamin, Abraham, Susanna, Williarn, and Rebecca. [Article continues with descendancy.]

Stacy's family is well documented in W. C. Armstrong's "Lundy Family", published 1902. Stacy was born 11-8-1791, died 1-13-1814. Rebecca married (2) ALLEN HARVEY of Hepburn Twp., Lycoming Co., born 1797, died 1864. Rebecca is buried in Wildwood Cemetery, Williamsport, Pa. her six known children: Lydia Lundy, and Amos, Samuel, Melinda, Mary, Rachel Harvey. [Article continues with descendancy.]

He married in 1822 at Pennsdale, Pa. to Mary Reeder, d/o Benagah and Elizabeth (Pownall) Reeder, who moved from Bucks Co. to Muncy about 1800. The Reeders are descended from Charles Reeder, born l713, of Bucks Co. and his wife Eleanor Merrick. The Pownalls are descended from George and Eleanor Pownall who arrived at Falls MM, Bucks Co., Pa. in 1682 from Chester Co., England.

5. The following is a partial excerpt from a copy of a letter forwarded to me by Karen Winner and which I have on file. It was written by Jackson A. Winner (b. March 21, 1858; died January 1, 1937). He acknowledges the following letter as being his source on early Winner genealogy. The Abraham referred to is the son of James Winner and Mary Parker. The letter:
"West Warwick, R. I. 7 mo. 29, 1928,
Jackson A. Winner
Washington, D.C.
Dear Friend,
Thy letter of the 18th is at hand having been forwarded to me... I feel I am in a position to give a great amount of information concerning the Winner family. There is no Winner blood in me, but I am very closely connected with all of Abraham Winner's family through the Warners ... Rachel, Joseph Warner's oldest daughter, married Abraham Winner, the first Abraham thy letter mentions. He was the son of James Winner, who came from Sussex County, New Jersey, in 1801, and took from the government the tract near Warrensville containing about 450 acres, which has since been known as the Winner homestead. His (James) three sons, Abraham, Issac and Jacob afterward inherited the farms, and the part Abraham, inherited has remained in the Winner family to the present time, being now occupied by Abraham's great-grandson, William Irving Winner. He told me when I was there last fill that it seemed strange that their ancestor should have picked on such a bleak hilly spot to settle, when there was a lot of good land down along the river that they could have had, only the probable inducement being that they expected to make their living largely by hunting and there was an abundance of large game in those times in that region. Jacob Winner got the middle portion I think perhaps there was at one time a kind of tannery or something of that kind located there. The north part that thy grandfather, Issac Winner, owned, I believe is not occupied at present. I found in the course of my visit that there were a number of Winners in and about Williamsport that were not of Abraham's family, and must be descended either from Issac or Jacob ... Abraham Winner married Rachel Warner 4-25-1810. They took the south part of the homestead. Twelve children were born to them... [Letter continues with detail on these Children.]
Respectfully thy Friend, Joseph Ft. Myers."
The author [Mr. Jackson] has been unable to determine from what country the early Winners came to America. Groups of Quakers came from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Holland, as shown in Quaker history. The name Winner is probably Dutch, hence the ancestry may have came from Holland, otherwise it is believed they were of English descent. Records show that James and Mary Winner, were living in Sussex county, New Jersey, when their sons Abraham, Issac and Jacob were born from 1785 to 1790, which are the earliest dates obtainable."

1469 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. "Christina Romerin, unmarried," is mentioned as the sponsor in the birth/confirmation of Michael and Anna Barbara Stocker's daughter Christina. The fact that the Romer(ins) were involved in at least four of the eight children born to Michael and Anna Barbara would lead us to the assumption that Michael Stocker's wife Anna Barbara was a Romerin. It is interesting to note that the Romer(ins) are no longer shown as sponsors/godparents to Michael's children by other wives after the death of Anna Barbara. See the following in the FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 88-97:
"Michael Stoker, doubtless, was the son of Michael Stoker (Stocker) who settled in Frederick Co., Md. about the middle of the 18th century. No other family of the Stoker (Stocker) name was found by this writer in any of the early Frederick Co. records. The 18th century translated records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. established about 1746, show many Michael Stoker (Stocker) entries beginning with the birth, on 1 Apr 1758, of Anna Barbara, daughter of 'Mich. Stocker' and his wife 'Ana Barb.' On p. 552 of a copy of these church records, now in possession of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Maryland, will be found a recording of eight children of Michael Stocker, the youngest named George, born 13 Nov 1781... 11 gbr 1769 (two children) to Michael Stocker, namely a child Marie Barbara; godparents, Johannes Haas (and wife) Mar. Barbara, and a child Christina; godmother, Christina Romerin, ledig, meaning unmarried. Baptized 19 gbr. 1769. (Note gbr is usually an abbreviation in German for born but in this case probably means November or possibly February.)"

Military Service: 2nd Lt. Michael Grosh enlisted in the Continental Army by November 29, 1775 when he first appears with Captain Haass' Company of the 1st Battalion. Also served with Colonel Baker Johnson's 4th Battalion.
Biographical Notes:
Michael Grosh was the first American-born child to John Conrad and Maria Sophia Grosh of Mayence, Germany. In 1777, he became the first in the family to die in America.
Michael Grosh, his two brothers Peter and Adam, and father Conrad, were early supporters of the patriot movement. Both Peter and Conrad gave money in support of the local militia. By September 1775, all three brothers joined the Frederick Militia, while Conrad served on the Committee of Observation for the Middle District of Frederick County. By the end of 1775, all appeared in the Journal of the Committee of Observation of the Middle District of Frederick as Assoicators to the Oath of Fidelity.
A definitive enlistment date for Michael Grosh has not been determined, but by November 29, 1775, he was serving as a 2nd lieutenant in Captain John Haas's Company. Before the war on March 3, 1772, Michael and wife Christiana sponsored the baptism of Johann Haas' son, Johannes. Kinship ties ran deep in the local militia. Though Michael never served alongside a member of his immediate family, he knew many of the men in his company from the Frederick Evangelical Lutheran and Monocacy Lutheran Congregations, and from friendships and a business associates in Frederick. Later in his military career, he served under his sister's brother-in-law Charles Beatty and Frederick resident Baker Johnson, brother of Maryland's first governor Thomas Johnson. After he was killed at the Battle of Germantown, Lt. Christian Weaver notified the family of Michael's death with a signed certificate from his command. Lt. Weaver began his career in Capt. Charles Beatty's Company of the Frederick County Militia.
In more peaceful times, Michael Grosh was probably a shoemaker as his inventory lists large quantities and varieties of sole and upper leather. Grosh's inventory lists many hides, tools, and stores of leather. Bernard Steiner's Western Maryland in the Revolution quotes British officer J.D.F. Smyth's description of the Frederick Committee of Observation. Smyth, a tory, states that after he was taken prisoner, he was "dragged before a committee consisting of a tailor, a leather breeches maker, a shoemaker, … the majority were Germans."
When 2nd Lt. Michael Grosh died intestate at the Battle Germantown, he left behind his wife, Christiana, and two young children, Sophia and Charlotte. The young couple's extended families came to their aid until Christiana remarried; and even after that Michael's father, Conrad, made certain Sophia and Charlotte received their due inheritance.
In a case heard before the Frederick County Orphans Court on August 12, 1778, Peter Grosh applied for a pension on behalf of Christiana Grosh stating that Lt. Christian Weaver notified the family of Michael's death with a signed certificate. John Beatty and Peter Mantz testified via certificate that the widow lived in Frederick and had two small children.
Christiana was granted a £5 per month pension for the period of Oct. 18, 1777 - Oct. 18 1778. Several years later on June 8, 1783, Michael Roemer (sic.?) re-applied on behalf of the Grosh children and received £300 for their support for the period Oct. 18, 1778 - Oct. 15, 1783. Michael Roemer was either Christiana's father or brother. Christiana married Mathias Buckey on or about April 22, 1780, and had two more children, Michael and Jacob Buckey. Michael's final legacy to his children likely came with his father's death c. 1790. John Conrad Grosh provided for his son's children in his will dated November 4, 1786."

3. From the newspaper "Frederick News-Post" of Frederick, Maryland, United States of America, Sep. 10, 1980, in a genealogical article about the Ramsburg and Trail Families. Source: Website http://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10025/newspaper-archive?itemId=378740882&action=showRecord accessed 22 Feb 2015:
"...two pioneer Lutheran leaders at Frederick, Michael Roemer and Conrad Grosch and their wives. Most of the early Ramsburgs and Remsbergs of Frederick County belonged to the German Reformed Church. However, Jacob mentioned in the will above married Charlotta Amalia Grosch, granddaughter of the early Lutheran elder at Frederick, John Conrad Grosch and wife Maria Sophia Gutenberg ... Lutheran records show that Chariotte Amalia was born July to Michael and Christina Grosch, the sponsors being Michael and Charlotta Amalia Roemer, the parents of Christina. Michael Roemer (Raymer) was the leading elder of the early Lutheran Church at Frederick and at Monocacy Church of the Muhlenberg Articles of 1747. His worn gravestone with inlaid letters remains..."

4. The book "History of Carrollton Manor, Frederick County, Maryland," by William Jarboe Grove, Lime Kiln, Maryland, 1928, copy in Frederick Historical Society, Frederick, Maryland, p. 383, provides significant information about Michael Römer (with variant spellings of Raymer, Romer Remer, and Reymer) by giving us his will, the name of an additional wife, some of his deeds, his civic and military service, his immigration, some of the spouses of his children, and three of his grandchildren. Michael's obituary reports he had six daughters and two sons of which both sons, three daughters, and their mother had preceded him in death; however, the will only provides us with the names of four daughters -- one of whom, Maria Barbara, had predeceased him. He does not mention the other names of his deceased children nor their children even though his obituary says he had 37 grandchildren. Additionally he makes no reference to a second wife, Catherine Kemp, who may have also predeceased him. The quote:
"44 - Michael Raymer who loaned $1,630 was on the committee of observation and attended a meeting held at the court house Jan. 24th, 1775 and was active in the cause of independence, born 1715 died Nov. 25th, 1800, aged 85 years, 2 months, is buried in the Lutheran graveyard. His will was made Sep. 11, 1794. Signed Michael Romer. He divided his estate real and personal in four parts to his daughters, Magdalona, wife of Henry Foutz, Elizabeth, wife of James Beatty, Christona, wife of Mathias Buckey and to the children of his deceased daughter, Barbara Hass, namely, Michael Hass, Christiana, wife of George Buckey and Frederick Hass, the remaining fourth part of my estate real and personal. Tradition says Michael Raymer married Catherine Kemp, who landed in Philadelphia with her father, Conrad Kemp August 17th, 1733 and is of the well known Kemp family of the County. In connection with Michael Remer (1715-1800), in a list of foreigners 252 Palatines imported in the ship "Winter Gallery" and qualified Sep. 5, 1738 at Philadelphia there appears the name John Michael Romer (also Remer) aged 23, which age corresponds with the year of birth 1715. 'The Meadow' first granted by Lord Baltimore to John Van Meter and subsequently resurveyed Nov. 2nd, 1755, was patented June 9th, 1756 to Michael Raymer, over which he had a dispute with Daniel Dulaney who laid out Frederick in 1745 and owned Locust Level containing 3,800 acres and Taskers Chance containing 7,700 acres both of these tracts adjoined 'The Meadows.' Dulaney was a Tory, and his land was confiscated, after some litigation the title to the land was awarded to Mr. Raymer. Michael Raymer was very active during the Revolutionary period, and held a commisision in the Patriot army. Mr. Raymer deeded this land to Richard Potts in 1792. Mr. Reymer gave the land for the Lutheran Church at Church Hill north of Frederick."

5. FHL book "In and Out of Frederick Town, Colonial Occupations," by Amy Lee Huffman Reed and Marie LaForge Burns, microfilmed July 15, 1991 (FHL film 6088329). It is interesting to note that Michael Roemer was a tanner, his son-in-law Michael Stocker a saddle and harness maker, and Roemer's son-in-law Michael Grosh a leather worker. Other sources indicate that Stocker's second father-in-law Jacob Pfau was also a saddle maker. I believe also another Roemer son-in-law may have also been involved with leather. The transcript:
P. 38: 90, Michael Raymer, Tanner, B:576, 1752.
P. 39: 118, Michael Stogar [Stocker], Saddler, K:432, 1765
Pp. 58-59: "Harness has remained virtually unchanged in appearance and function since the eighteenth century. Selection of the proper leather, perfect cutting, and thorough stitching were essential in making the best quality harness. Harness could also be tooled or studded with brass if the customer was willing to pay the price. Plain harness for four horses cost about sixteen pounds, equivalent to the price of eight mahogany chairs upholstered and trimmed with brass nails. It is not surprising that saddlers in colonial towns were often among the most successful of all the craftsmen. High demand for their products and the high prices charged for them made many saddlers moderately wealthy men.
Some saddlers combined leathercraft, blacksmithing, and wainwrighting to make wagons. Jacob Baer, a saddler, and Christian Berger, a blacksmith, on the same North Market Street lot in 1764, may well have been in the wagon-making business, though only briefly. Berger sold his blacksmith tools and a wagon to John Shellman and moved on within two years. Michael Stogar [Stocker] was a saddler on West Second Street who paid his store bill by making harness. Thomas Schley, Jr. had a saddlery on South Market Street in the 1770's…
Leather was tanned in Frederick Town during the colonial years at Michael Raymer's [Roemer] tanyard, located downwind from town on the easternmost Patrick Street lot. A few years later he was joined by Mathias Need, another tanner. Either or both of these men may have been curriers who finished leather for local craftsmen.
Michael Grosh, a leather worker, married Michael Raymer's daughter Christina. Young Grosh probably was in business with his father-in-law, for in 1772 he was buying hides in the countryside around Frederick Town. From Joseph Doll he bought the following: (Doll's Ledger)
2 calf skins - 3-1/2 pence per lb. 11/3
1 sheep skin 0/9
2 cow skins - 3-1/2 pence per lb. 2/1/2
3 calf skins and "one cow skin of Beatty's old cow" 17/6
Michael, the son of innholder Conrad Grosh, lost his life in the American Revolution serving with troops from Frederick County under the command of Colonel Baker Johnson. Young Grosh was a casualty in the Battle of Germantown on October 4, 1777. He was survived by his widow Christina and two small daughters, Sophia, aged six, and Charlotte, three years old.

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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]

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"The marke of Alice Lockwood
"Read, signed, sealed & declared by Alice Lockwood as her last will & testam[en]t in the p[re]sence of us Thomas Sotheby Robert Wiles
"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. John Lockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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]

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]

"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]

See notes of Robert Lockwood for full transcript of article from which this partial excerpt is taken:
"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.

iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.

x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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.
Genealogical Summary
EdwardB Lockwood alias Baker was buried in Combs 15 April 1604. He had a brother Thomas, a wife Joan (buried in Combs 24 January 1591/92) and the following four children:[20]

iv. Edmund1 Lockwood, bapt. 16 January 1598/99, d. between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35 and probably closer to the earlier date, since he was not on the land grant lists for Cambridge beginning August 1633.[24]
v. Robert1 Lockwood, bapt. 18 Jan. 1600/1. For further information on him and his family, see Mr. Anderson's article and Great Migration sketch.[25]

x. John Lockwood, bapt. 21 Dec. 1611; living 14 Dec. 1638. Note that the transcript of Alice Lockwood's will given in Mr. Anderson's article was missing the following clause between the bequests to son William and daughter Alice: "Item I give to John Lockwood my sonne ten pounds".[32]
xi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1613,[33] m. John Manwood; living 14 Dec. 1638.[34] (1) John Manwood, bapt. 12 July 1635, bur. 21 Aug. 1636.[35]

Edmund1 Lockwood was baptized in Combs 16 January 1598/99.[38] He emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1630, and died there between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35.[39] He and his first unknown wife had at least the following four children, baptisms and burials in Combs except as noted:[40]
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]

See notes of Robert Lockwood for full transcript of article from which this partial excerpt is taken:
"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)

"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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]

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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]

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"The marke of Alice Lockwood
"Read, signed, sealed & declared by Alice Lockwood as her last will & testam[en]t in the p[re]sence of us Thomas Sotheby Robert Wiles
"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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]

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"The marke of Alice Lockwood
"Read, signed, sealed & declared by Alice Lockwood as her last will & testam[en]t in the p[re]sence of us Thomas Sotheby Robert Wiles
"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

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]

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"The marke of Alice Lockwood
"Read, signed, sealed & declared by Alice Lockwood as her last will & testam[en]t in the p[re]sence of us Thomas Sotheby Robert Wiles
"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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.

iv. Edmund1 Lockwood, bapt. 16 January 1598/99, d. between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35 and probably closer to the earlier date, since he was not on the land grant lists for Cambridge beginning August 1633.[24]
v. Robert1 Lockwood, bapt. 18 Jan. 1600/1. For further information on him and his family, see Mr. Anderson's article and Great Migration sketch.[25]

Edmund1 Lockwood was baptized in Combs 16 January 1598/99.[38] He emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1630, and died there between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35.[39] He and his first unknown wife had at least the following four children, baptisms and burials in Combs except as noted:[40]
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]

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.
Children(i-vi born Watertown(56)):
i. Jonathan Lockwood, b. Watertown 10 September 1634. He m. by 6 January 1664[/5?] Mary Ferris, daughter of Jeffrey Ferris.(57)
ii. DEBORAH Lockwood, b. Watertown 12 October 1636. She m. (1) by 20 October 1658 William Ward, son of Andrew Ward.(58) She m. (2) by 1678 John Topping.(59)
iii. Joseph Lockwood, b. Watertown 6 August 1638. He m. (1) by an unknown date Beacham, daughter of Robert Beacham.(60) He possibly m. (2) after 1689 Mary (Coley) (Simpson) Stream, widow of Peter Simpson and John Stream.(61)

In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

3. 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.

7. "The Great Migration," by Robert Charles Anderson:
"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]...

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.

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]."

"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...

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.

65. Holden and Lockwood claim that she was "Lady Ann Millington from England, daughter of Lord Millington," an unsupported and highly unlikely identification (Lockwood Family 16-17). In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

3. 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.

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]...

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]."

"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...

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.

65. Holden and Lockwood claim that she was "Lady Ann Millington from England, daughter of Lord Millington," an unsupported and highly unlikely identification (Lockwood Family 16-17). In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

"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.

9. The following partial excerpt concerning this individual is from the biography of Jeffrey Ferris in the "Great Migration" book. These are highly reliable summaries of early pre-1636 colonists and the entire biography can be read in Jeffrey's notes:
"Jeffrey Ferris...
Estate: ...On 28 May 1661, "Jeffery Ferries, 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" [Fairfield PR 1:65].
In his will, dated 6 January 1664(/5?] and proved 9 March 1666/7, "Jeaffrey Ferris" bequeathed to "my wife that now is, all the estate which she can make appear that she brought with her" and £l0; to "her four children, that is to say, those four boys which I brought up and kept," £10 apiece; "in case my wife that now is shall see cause to remain a widow alter my decease, ... I give for her use five acres of land that now is in till, the one half in my home lot and the other half at Tomuck," also "one of my allotments that is on Mihanoes Neck," also some household goods to "my son James Ferris," £20, some moveables, and "half my farm, that is to say, that land that I now gave him"; to "my daughter Mary Lockwood, that now is, twenty pounds besides the quarter part of my before mentioned jades I gave to her husband, Jonothan Lockwood"; to "my son Peter Ferris, his three children, one mare colt"; to "my son Josep[h]'s two children one mare colt"; residue to "be equally divided amongst all my children"; "in case God should please to give my wife a child born of her body whilst she remains my wife, that is to say, whilst I live, or if I leave her with child when I die," that child to have "the other half of my farm" and a young mare; "my loving friend, John Holly, now in Stamford, and my son Peter Ferris" to be executors [Fairfield PR 2:20-21].
The inventory of the estate of "Jeffrey Ferris, deceased," taken 23, 24, 26 and 29 November 1666, totalled £493 6-¼d., of which £170 was real estate: "house and lands," £170 [Fairfield PR 2:29-32]. Appended to the inventory is a division of the estate, dated 22 March 1666/7: to "brother Jonathan Lockwood"; to "brother James Ferris"; to "brother Joseph Ferris"; and to "brother Joseph Ferris" [Fairfield PR 2:32] (perhaps one of the entries for Joseph Ferris is intended for one of the other brothers).
On 21 June 1687, "Peter Ferris & Jonathan Lockwood & Joseph Ferris & Jeames Ferris, being administrators of the estate of our deceased father, Jeffere Ferris," agreed "that all lands that are dividable that were formerly our foresaid deceased father's, ... that any or each person of us do possess, that he or they shall have ... the said land ... as his own proper right" [Greenwich LR 1:124].
On 16 July 1705, "John Ferris, inhabitant of Westchester, ... son unto Jeffre Ferris of Greenwich," gave a receipt for his share of his father's estate from "my brother[s] Peeter Ferris & Joseph Feris & James Feris & Jonathan Lockwood, ... as they were administrators of the estate of my deceased [father] Jeffere Feris" [Greenwich LR 1:173]...
Death: Greenwich 31 May 1666 [Gillespie Anc 118, source not cited].
Marriage:
(1) By about 1629 ___ ___. She died at Stamford 31 July 1658 (TAG 10:45, citing Stamford TR 1:20].
(2) About 1659 Susanna (Norman) Lockwood, daughter of Richard Norman {1626, Salem} [GMB 2:1334-36] and widow of Robert Lockwood {1634, Watertown} [Fairfield PR 1:65]. She died at Greenwich 23 December 1660 (recorded at Stamford) [TAG 10:118, citing
Stamford TR 1:98]. [KP: Susanna was both the step-mother of Mary Ferris and the mother of Mary's husband Jonathan Lockwood.]
(3) By about 1662 Judith (Feake) Palmer, daughter of James Feake of London and widow of William Palmer...
Children:
With first wife...

10. Per the book: "Genealogy of the Lockwood Family 1630-1888 - Descendants of Robert Lockwood, Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from A.D. 1630," compiled by Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, printed privately by the family, 1889, Philadelphia [Caution! See notes in separate note above about the unreliability of this book):
"Lt. Jonathan Lockwood, b. Sep. 10th, 1634, in Watertown, Mass; d. May 12th, 1688, in Greenwich, CT, in his 54th year...He signed a paper Jan 1st, 1657, at Easttowne, in the N. Netherlands, promising allegiance to the Dutch governor 'so long as we live in his jurisdiction'; was of Stamford, CT, Oct 16th, 1660, and resided there until 1665; when he sold his estate there and removed to Greenwich. He there became a freeman in 1670; was assistant in May, 1671, and in 1672, one of the 27 prorietors'. He became a prominent citizen (Hy. Stamford, pp.31,56), and represented the town in the Legislature four years. Up to 1688 Lt. Lockwood had been a leading influential man in the town. This year he died, and the people met in town meeting and passed resolutions deploring the loss of so valuable a citizen (Hy. Greenwich, p. 69). His wife was Mary Ferris (sometimes call Marah), dau. of Jeffrey Ferris." From Vol. 2, from Boundaries of the State of Nw York, Pratt, p232 (Conn.): "Oct. 8, 1674, 'This Court appoynts Mr. John Bankes, Ln't Jonath. Sillick, Ln't Jonathan Lockwood and Ln't Joseph Orton, or any three of them, forthwith to runn the lyne between this Coolony ann the Colony of New York from Momoronock River to Hudson's River (Conn. Pub. Rec., p. 242)." Also: "Mary Lockwood, of Greenwich, widow of Lt. Jonathan Lockwood, about to marry Sgt. Thomas Merritt, of Rye, on the 5th day June, 1696, made provision for her children by Jonathan Lockwood. Thomas Merritt agreed to this on the 18th day of June, 1696." Note: see hard file for several pages of civil records concerning this individual as copied from this book.

11. "The Great Migration," by Robert Charles Anderson:
"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].
ii. DEBORAH Lockwood, b. Watertown 12 October 1636 [NEHGR 7:159; WaVR 1:4]; m. (1) by 20 October 1658 William Ward, son of Andrew WARD {1633, Watertown} [GMB 3:1918-21 (which misstates the estimated date of marriage)]; m.

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].

(2) Oyster Bay 3 August 1697 Elizabeth (Townsend) Wright [Oyster Bay TR 1:515], daughter of John Townsend and widow of Gideon Wright ["Connecticut Ancestry" 47:130; FOOF 1:384-85].
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]."

12. The book "Stamford Town Records, Vol. 1, 1641-1723," transcribed and annotated by Paul R. Finch, NEHGS (Boston, 2011), p. 43: "p. 53 [1:44]" shows the record of a deed dated "[Sept. - Dec.] 1658 between Henry Desbrow to Jonathan Lockwood. The land is then deeded over to Abraham Frost on 29 Jan., 1600/1. Part of the land is bounded by the "widow [Unice] Brown.

13. The book "Ye Historie of ye Town of Greenwich with Genealogical Notes …," by Spencer P. Mead (Camden, Maine; Picton Press), p. 289, (those with asterisks are in my database):
"The militia generally has been considered in Chapter IX. As regards the military forces in Greenwich, a company was organized soon after the town was first settled, and Captain Daniel Patrick was the first military commander. After his death in 1644, he was succeeded by William Hallett, who was banished in 1648, for the commission of the act of adultery with Mrs. Elizabeth Peaks. The next leading citizen was Richard Crab, who seems, to have removed from Greenwich about 166o. The following were his successors:
1669 to 1688, Sergeant Jonathan Lockwood.*
1689 to 1695, Lieutenant John Bowers.*
1696 to 1725, Lieutenant James Ferris.
1726 to 1735, Captain Caleb Knapp.*
1736 to 1739, Captain James Reynolds."

14. The book "History of Stamford, Connecticut, 1641-1868…," by Rev. E. B. Huntington (A Corrected Reprint of the 1868 Edition, 1979), pp. 56-7:
"Lockwood, Jonathan, was here in 1659, as appears from his testimony in court, at Fairfield, Feb. 24th of that year. He is reported as then 24 or 25 years of age. This corresponds with the presumption that he was son of Robert Lockwood, of Fairfield, and that he is the son born in Watertown, Sept. 10, 1634. His children were Jonathan, Robert, Gershom, Joseph, and John. He sold his estate here in 1665, and was afterwards a prominent citizen of Greenwich, representing that town in the state legislation for four years."

15. The book "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I," by Donald Lines Jacobus (Fairfield, Connecticut, 1930; reprinted 1991), pp. 380-81:
"Lockwood, Robert. Sergt., Fairfield Trainband, May 1657.

"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...

20. The periodical “The American Genealogist,” 91(Jan. 2019):66-75, “Gershom3 Lockwood of Cos Cob, Greenwich, Connecticut, Son of Jonathan2 Lockwood,” by Capers W. McDonald:
“Although some of the Lockwood families of Greenwich, Connecticut, prior to the Revolutionary War have been well identified, the relationships and activities of several Greenwich Lockwoods remain unresolved. In a short 1955 TAG article, "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn.," Donald Lines Jacobus noted prevailing confusion over "double lines of Gershorn Lockwoods of Greenwich" living down to the end of the eighteenth century.[1] As an illustration and a correction, Jacobus sketched the following pedigree of seven Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich:
Robert1 Lockwood
-Jonathan2, d. 1688 = Mary Ferris
-Gershom3, d. 1757 = Hannah -
-Gershom4, d. 1787 = (1) Mary Sackett; (2) Ann -
-Gershom5, 1753-
-Gershom2, d. 1718/9 = -- --
-Gershom3, d. bet. 1761 = Ann Millington
-Gershom4, d. 1776 = Mary Ferris
-Gershom, d. 1796 = Eunice --
Jacobus then wrote, "study of the problems involved has been insufficient to enable us to write a definitive account" of the Gershoms. Instead, he simply presented "brief abstracts of some of the vital, probate and land records which must be used in any consideration of the problems involved."
The earliest Lockwoods in Greenwich had first been described in print in 1857 by Daniel Merritt Mead in “A History of the Town of Greenwich, Fairfield County, Conn., with Many Important Statistics.” They were brothers Gershom2 and Jonathan2 Lockwood (Robert1), listed by Mead among the "twenty-seven proprietors of 1672" who purchased Indian land across the Mianus River, west of the original colonial settlement of Greenwich.[2] Mead mentioned their respective sons-including the fact that each had a son named Gershom-but with little detail. Mead drew on earlier assertions to describe all the Greenwich Lockwoods as "probably descended from Edmund Lockwood ... of Cambridge, Mass."-which was incorrect.[3] The brothers were correctly identified as sons of Robert1 Lockwood, brother of Edmund1, in a full-length genealogy published in 1889, Frederick A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood's “Descendants of Robert Lockwood: Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America” (though unfortunately all of Edmund's actual children were incorrectly stated there to be sons of Robert1).[4]
This 1889 Lockwood genealogy was the first to include a treatment of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) and some of his descendants. That account was followed by Spencer Percival Mead (1911),[5] William Richard Cutter (1912),[6] and subsequent authors.[7] Jacobus, who pointed out the "Gershoms" problem in 1955, had previously covered some of the Lockwoods in his 1930 initial volume of “History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield.”[8] There Jacobus had listed Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) only by name as a child of Jonathan2, with no subsequent information, and also briefly covered the family of Jonathan2 Lockwood's younger brother Gershom2. In none of these works have the children, landholdings, offices, and other evidence of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) been adequately described.
Only by following Donald Lines Jacobus's 1955 guidance and assembly of "vital, probate and land records" has it been possible to produce a sound genealogy of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2). In this article, building on Jacobus's sketch pedigree and record abstracts, some of the several Gershom Lockwoods are disambiguated, with a focus on Gershom3 (Jonathan2). This Gershom settled in the part of Greenwich known as Cos Cob, and his descendants-including the left-hand column in Jacobus's chart-are traced here for two generations, including not only the Gershoms in this branch but their siblings. Among the probate records noted by Jacobus in his 1955 article was the 1733 will of Jabez4 Lockwood (Gershom3, Jonathan2), by which Jabez left land to his parents, Gershom and Hannah, to be distributed after their deaths to Jabez's five named brothers. It is Jabez's will which forms the foundation of the present genealogy of the family of Gershom3 Lockwood of Cos Cob.
A necessary first step to establishing the genealogy of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) is a review of the careers of his father and uncle, Jonathan2 and Gershom2 Lockwood, the first Lockwoods in Greenwich. Jonathan was the oldest, born in Watertown, Massachusetts, on 10 September 1634. Gershom, Robert1's sixth recorded child, was nine years younger, born in Watertown on 6 September 1643.[9] The two brothers migrated from Watertown to Fairfield, Connecticut, about 1646, with their father, Robert1 Lockwood.[10] These brothers were named among a total of nine children in Robert's estate inventory in Fairfield in 1658.[11] As young adults, Jonathan2 and Gershom2 settled further west in Greenwich. On 1 January 1656/7, Jonathan Lockwood, along with [his future father-in-law] Jeffrey Ferris,[12] signed an oath in East Towne, New Netherlands (later Westchester County, New York), along with "all the Inhabitants then present," to honor the Dutch "governor of the manatas [Manhattans] as our governor and obay all his magistrates and laws that ar[e] mad[e] a[c]cordin[g] to god so long as we live in his Jurisdiction."[13]
Geography of Early Colonial Greenwich
For the ensuing account of activities and landholdings of the Greenwich Lockwoods, some understanding of the physical geography and the Indian and colonial political geography is helpful. The "Main Country Road," which ran by Cos Cob, was a segment of the original King's Highway (called the "Post Road" once mail service was established) running mostly east and west through modern Greenwich,[14] while most waterways ran generally north-to-south. From west to east, the four significant local Indian territories in the area of Greenwich were known by the Indian names Poningoe, Petuckquapaug (including the village of Cassacubque, anglicized as Cos Cob), Asamuck, and Patomuck.[15]
Furthest west, the Armonck [subsequently Byrarn] River marked what became the border between Connecticut and New York,[16] and defined the westernmost part of Greenwich, Poningoe. As implied by the 1657 oath respecting the Dutch governor noted above, the first colonial title to Poningoe came under a grant to the Dutch West India Company in 1640[17] Next to the east lay Petuckquapaug, between the Minamok[18] and Mianus rivers.[19] Part of Petuckquapaug was later called "Dumpling Pond,"[20] near where two sons of Gershom2 Lockwood built the first bridge over the Mianus River in 1688.
The Indian village of Cassacubque, meaning "high rocks" or "a great ledge of rocks," lay near the principal western tributary of the Mianus River known as Strickland's Brook.[21] There, "on the west side of this brook, and close under a rather abrupt eminence … were built three rows of closely collected Indian huts made of bark ... stretching along under a high bluff covered with tall oaks which sheltered the town from the chilling northwest winds. ... On the plain, east of the hamlet and between it and Strickland's Brook, the wood and underbrush had been cleared away and the ground fitted for raising Indian corn."[22] The name was anglicized to "Cos Cob" by 1686/7, when a Greenwich town committee of Lt. Jonathan Lockwood and six other colonists purchased Horseneck Plantation (part of Poningoe, further west) from Indian proprietors.[23] The Second Congregational Church at Horseneck was founded in 1717,[24] and one of the Gershom Lockwoods became a member in 1729."[25]
East of the Mianus River were the areas known by the names of their waterways, Asamuck Creek and Patomuck Brook. These areas saw the first English settlement in 1640, later referred to as "Greenwich Old Town."[26] Patomuck Brook became the coastal boundary between Greenwich and Stamford.[27] All of these place names are frequently referenced in the deeds; placing them is essential in differentiating the Lockwood families.
Jonathan2 and Gershom2 Lockwood in Greenwich
The earliest Greenwich record found for Jonathan2 Lockwood is from a town meeting of 6 May 1669, at which he and four others were appointed (as summarized in Mead's 1911 “Historie of Greenwich”) to assess "Horseneck and the lands thereabouts ... for the settlement of a township" west of the original settlement, between the Mianus and Byram rivers. On 6 February 1670[/1], a committee was appointed, consisting of "Mr. [John] Holley [of Stamford], Sergeant Jonathan Lockwood, John Mead, and Joseph Ferris" to lay out a township upon the land "near Horseneck Brook to the number of thirty lots, four acres to a home lot." A list of twenty-seven proprietors of the town of Greenwich in 1672 included Jonathan and Gershom Lockwood.[28] The original Indian deed for the "Horseneck Plantation" was a sale "unto Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood, Sergt. John Bowers, John Renalds, Senir, John Marshall, Joseph Mead, Senir, John Hubbe, Senir, and John Mead, Senir, which are the towne's committee." As part of the consideration, the Indian leaders received "planting land" which was "fenced in at Cos Cob Neck ... by estimation about thirtie acres" for their use "during their lives and the lives of the children being in number four, and then to be returned to the towne."[29] On 27 April 1675, Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood and six others "were appointed and fully empowered to lay out all the lands lying between the Mianus and Byram rivers, as it lieth below the Westchester Path [Post Road], and in May of the same year Angell Husted was appointed to draw the lots respecting each man's proportion" of these.[30]
Jonathan2 Lockwood was among four men "Propownded for freemen of Greenwich" on 12 May 1670.[31] His earliest-known Greenwich land record is an agreement between the town of Greenwich and "Jonathan Lockwood, Sr." dated 19 [month illegible] 1669/70.[32] He was recorded as a deputy for Greenwich during the sessions for May and October 1671, May 1673, October 1674, October 1676, and May 1683.[33] A "Greenwich Properties List for the Year 1672 with the Drafts of the Lands on the Est[ate] List" includes brothers Jonathan2 Lockwood with an estate of £114 and Gershom2 Lockwood with an estate of £90.[34]
On 9 May 1672, Jonathan Lockwood and three others were appointed "to measure on an east northeast lyne from Mamorenack River to the west bownds of Fayrefeild ... at the charge of the townes of Norwalke, Standford, Greenwich & Rye."[34] On 8 October 1674, "Lnt. Jonathan Lockwood" and three others were appointed "to runn the lyne between this Colony and the Colony of New York, from Momoronock River to Hudson's River.[36] On 12 May 1681, the Court at Hartford began the founding of Bedford, appointing Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood and three others "to manage, order and dispose of the affayres of that plantation."[37]
What serves essentially as the will of Jonathan Lockwood was recorded on 9 May 1688 in the Greenwich land records as a "Deed of Gift." In it, he named his wife and children and distributed land to his children. Gifts were made to five sons, beginning with "son Jonathan being my eldest." "Unto my second son Robert" he granted "halfe my lands and meadows layd out or unlayed out below & above the Contrye roade lying on the west side of Myanos River;" "unto my third son Gershom the other halfe of the above s[ai]d lands & meadows." Others were his "fourth son Joseph" and "son Still John being my youngest."[38] Greenwich landowners listed on 21 May 1688 included Jonathan Lockwood, Jonathan Lockwood Jr., Robert Lockwood, and Gershom Lockwood.[39]
Jonathan's widow, Mary (Ferris) Lockwood, married second, as his third wife, Thomas Merritt of Rye, New York. Documentation of her marriage settlement was included with papers relating to her estate, both of which give concrete evidence of her Lockwood children. In the marriage agreement, dated 5 June 1696, "Marah [Mary] Lockwood of Greenwich somtime wife to Leftenant Lockwood Deseased" mentioned her "severall Children by my first Husband namely Jonathan Lockwood: & severall of them being at present in there non age." Mary was dead by 26 January 1707/8, when the probate court in Greenwich ordered an inventory to be made with division of her estate to her [surviving] children "Rob Lockwood Gershom Loc[kwoo]d Joseph Loc[kwoo]d Abagail Backster [Baxter] Still John Loc[kwoo]d." The four sons signed acceptance of the inventory in Greenwich, 31 January 1707/8, as "Natural sonns unto Mrs Mary Merritt."[40] (The oldest son, Jonathan, had died on 9 November 1689.)[41] Jonathan2 Lockwood's children, therefore, were Jonathan, Robert, Gershom, Joseph, Abigail, and Still John Lockwood. They are listed briefly by Jacobus in “Families of Old Fairfield,”[42] and treated more fully, though with errors, in Holden and Lockwood's 1889 Lockwood genealogy.[43] Of the sons, Robert, Gershom, Joseph, and Still John Lockwood all had children in Greenwich. Only Gershom3 Lockwood of Cos Cob, this article's subject, is treated in the genealogy below.
Gershom2 Lockwood, the only one of Jonathan2 Lockwood's brothers to settle in Greenwich with him, was chosen to fill Jonathan's seats on the various town committees when Jonathan2 died in 1688.[44] Gershom2 "was the principal carpenter and builder in the town."[45] Gersh 		Lockwood, Jonathan (I3144)

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.

In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224).

In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

3. 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.

Holden and E.

On that day the inventory of her deceased father's estate was probated, 'at a Court held in Fairfield'. In the action of the Court this language appears: 'Deborah being married hath received her portion of her father before his death.' ...'Deborah Lockwood, aged 17, in 1654, said in a Court held at New Haven, Conn., she was present when Goodwife Knapp was going to execution.'

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]...

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]."

"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...

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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]

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.

iv. Edmund1 Lockwood, bapt. 16 January 1598/99, d. between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35 and probably closer to the earlier date, since he was not on the land grant lists for Cambridge beginning August 1633.[24]
v. Robert1 Lockwood, bapt. 18 Jan. 1600/1. For further information on him and his family, see Mr. Anderson's article and Great Migration sketch.[25]

Edmund1 Lockwood was baptized in Combs 16 January 1598/99.[38] He emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1630, and died there between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35.[39] He and his first unknown wife had at least the following four children, baptisms and burials in Combs except as noted:[40]
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]

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.
Children(i-vi born Watertown(56)):
i. Jonathan Lockwood, b. Watertown 10 September 1634. He m. by 6 January 1664[/5?] Mary Ferris, daughter of Jeffrey Ferris.(57)
ii. DEBORAH Lockwood, b. Watertown 12 October 1636. She m. (1) by 20 October 1658 William Ward, son of Andrew Ward.(58) She m. (2) by 1678 John Topping.(59)
iii. Joseph Lockwood, b. Watertown 6 August 1638. He m. (1) by an unknown date Beacham, daughter of Robert Beacham.(60) He possibly m. (2) after 1689 Mary (Coley) (Simpson) Stream, widow of Peter Simpson and John Stream.(61)
iv. Daniel Lockwood, b. Watertown 25 March 1640. He m. by about 1669 Abigail Sherwood, daughter of Thomas Sherwood of Fairfield.(62)

vii. JohnLockwood, 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; apparently unmarried.(67)
viii. Abigail Lockwood, b. say 1648. She m. by about 1668 John Barlow, son of Thomas Barlow.(68)
ix. Sarah Lockwood, b. say 1650; d. Fairfield 1 March 1650[/1].(69)
x. Sarah Lockwood, b. Fairfield 27 February 1651[/2?].(70) She was living on 28 May 1661.(71) She may have married Abraham Adams.(72)

65. Holden and Lockwood claim that she was "Lady Ann Millington from England, daughter of Lord Millington," an unsupported and highly unlikely identification (Lockwood Family 16-17). In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

3. 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.

5. "The Great Migration," by Robert Charles Anderson:
"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]."

"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...

See notes of Robert Lockwood for full transcript of article from which this partial excerpt is taken:
"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. JohnLockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1598[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

MIGRATION: 1630 (based on request for freemanship on 19 October 1630 and jury service on 9 November 1630 [MBCR 1:79, 81]). (Edmund Lockwood was "Lockwood" of John Winthrop's 1629 list [WP 2:276].)
FIRST RESIDENCE: Unknown (probably Watertown).
REMOVES: Cambridge by 1632. "Mr Edmond Lockwood" was the third in the list of eight "Newtone Inhabitant" which is found at the beginning of the Cambridge town records, and probably dates from 1632 [CaTR 2].
FREEMAN: Requested 19 October 1630 (as "Mr. Edmond Lockwood") and admitted 18 May 1631 (as "Mr. Edmond Lockewood") [MBCR 1:79, 366]. OFFICES: Deputy for Cambridge to Massachusetts Bay General Court (as Mr. Lockwood")., 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:95].
Massachusetts Bay petit jury, 9 November 1630 (as "Mr. Edmond Lockwood"), [MBCR 1:81].
Cambridge constable (as "Mr. Edmond Lockwood"), 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:81].

On 7 April 1635, "It is referred to the church of Waterton, with the consent of Rob[er]te Lockwood, executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased, to dispose of the children & estate of the said Edmond Lockwood, given to them, to such persons as they think meet, which if they perform not within fourteen days, it shall be lawful for the Governor, John Hayne, Esq., & Simon Bradstreete, to dispose of the said children & estates as in their discretion, they shall think meet, as also to take an account of the said Rob[er]te Lockwood, & give him a full discharge" [MBCR 1:143-44]. On 2 June 1635, "In the cause of the children & widow of Edward Lockwood, (the elders & other of the church of Waterton being present,) and upon consideration of the order of Court in April last made in the case, which was found not to have been observed, because the estate was not computed & apportioned, it is now ordered, with consent of all parties, viz:, the church of Waterton, the widow of the said Edmond living, & the executor having consented to the former order, that the present Governor & the Secretary shall have power to call parties & witnesses for finding out the true estate, having consideration of the uncertainty of the will, & the debts, & other circumstances, to apportion the remainder of the estate to the wife & Children, according to their best discretion; & then the church of Waterton is to dispose of the elder children & their portions as shall be best for their Christian education & the preservation of their estate" [MBCR 1:151]. BIRTH: By about 1600 based on estimated date of marriage (but see COMMENTS below).

MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1625 ____ ____; she may have died in England before 1630.
(2) By 1632 Elizabeth Masters, daughter of JOHN MASTERS {1630, Watertown}. She married (2) CARY LATHAM {1639, Cambridge}. CHILDREN:
With first wife
i EDMUND LOCKWOOD, b. say 1625; m. Stamford 7 January [1655/6] Hannah Scott, daughter of TTHOMAS SCOTT {1634, Ipswich} [GM 2:6:209-13].

iii JOHN LOCKWOOD, b. Cambridge [blank] November 1632 ("son of Edward Lockwood & Elisabeth his wife") [NEHGR 4:181]; d. at New London in 1683, unmarried [Lockwood Gen 10].
ASSOCIATIONS: In a discussion of financial transactions, John Winthrop wrote to his son John in Grot on 23 July 1630 saying "If money be brought to you or your Uncle Downinge for Goodman Lockwood, let Mr. Peirce be paid his bill of provisions for him, and bring the rest with you" [WP 2:306]. "Mr. Edmond Lockwood" was the third in the list of eight "Newtowne Inhabitants" which is found at the beginning of the Cambridge town records, and probably dates from 1632 [CaTR 2]. After NICHOLAS KNAPP was fined for quackery on 1 March 1630/1, "Mr. Will[ia]m Pelham and Mr. Edmond Lockewood hath promised to pay to the Court the sum of £5" [MBCR 1:83]. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL 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]."
In 2004 Robert Charles Anderson reviewed the evidence for the English ancestry of Edmund and Robert Lockwood ["Connecticut Ancestry" 47:119-30]."

"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 Phimore 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.

4. Per book "New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial," comp. William Richard Cutter, Reprinted for Clearfield Co. by Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, Maryland, 1994, p.35: "The name of Lockwood is of ancient origin, and dates back over 800 years, when it is mentioned in Domesday Book. During the reign of Edward III, 1327-77, a John Lockwood was attached to the royal party, fought at Naseby, and was wounded there. There were families of the name in county Essex and county Northampton as early as 1530. At that date Rev. Richard Lockwood, rector of Dingley, in Northamptonshire, had a coat-of-arms granted to him, as follows: Argent, a fesse between three martletts sable."

5. Some undocumented databases including LDS Ancestral File show a daughter for Edmund and Alice named Rose. The following are some comments for reference purposes. Rose should be considered erroneous per more modern and detailed research included above:
A. Per the book "The Story of the Early Settlers of Stamford, Connecticut, 1641 - 1700," by Jeanne Majdalany (including genealogies comp. with Edith M. Wicks), page 176/7: "Two Lockwood brothers from Combes, Suffolk, sons of Edward, came to America on the 'Arbella' in 1630. Edmund, thirty-six, came with his wife and Child; Robert was thirty. They settled first in Cambridge, MA and then to Watertown, MA where Edmund died in 1634. There is some confusion over a possible sister Rose to the two brothers Edmund and Robert." Additional references: Harriet Woodbury Hodge, "Some Descendants of Edmond Lockwood of Cambridge, Mass." This individual is unresearched and shows sometimes in Ordinance Index as the daughter of Edmund (who I list as her brother and his wife Elizabeth which appears very unlikely - we do know that Edmund had additional children of his first marriage besides Edmund [III] from his probate, but they are unnamed thus far in the records and Rose may one of them?)
B. 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, p. 82: "No evidence has yet been discovered to indicate that Rose, who married about 1639- 40 John Waterbury, was a Lockwood. John died at Stamford, Connecticut 31 July 1658. The late Virginia Olson, genealogist of the Stamford Genealogical Society, did extensive research to uncover a Lockwood connection for Rose, without success. She did find much to show that Rose was not a daughter of either Robert or Edmund Lockwood. Mrs. Olson believed the confusion in Waterbury genealogies, such as Albert Welles' American Family Antiquity (1880-1), 3:163, came about because Rose (___) Waterbury married at Stamfold, as her second husband, on 11 May 1659, Joseph Garnsey. Their son, Joseph Garnsey, born at Stamford 30 June 1662, married there 2 March 1692/3 Mary Lockwood, daughter of Edmund Lockwood and his wife Hannah Scott of Stamford. Apparently the two Joseph Garnseys became confused in the minds of Watersbury descendants and Mary's surname was transferred to her mother-in-law, Rose."
C. Ordinance index shows two possible spouses: Joseph Garney, which is an error since he married Mary, dau. of Edmund (III) in 1693, and John Waterbury.

6. From FHL book 929.273-K727kaa: "The Ancestral Lines of Mary Lenore Knapp," compiled by Alfred Averill Knapp, M.D.,1800 Columbia Terrace, Peoria, Illinois; 1947. Note this book traces the supposed genealogy of the Lockwood emigrants back several generations following the "Lockwood Genealogy" pedigree which more modern research (as noted above separately) has indicated is unreliable. Here is a sample of an inaccurate statement on the father of the two emigrants, which should be disregarded:
"12-G-32. Edmund Lockwood, son of 13-G-18. Richardus de Lockwood & 13-G-19. Elizabeth (Creswell) de Lockwood. Came to New England with the Winthrop & Saltonstall Fleet Oct. 19, 1630. Had:

7. NEHGS publication "American Ancestors," v. 13, no. 3[Summer 2012]:23 "Beneath the Lid of the Melting Pot," by Brian Sykes:
"The sharing of the Y chromosome fingerprints within a surname, indicative of a common ancestry, is even more marked in the U.S. than in Britain, the reason is that only a small sample of British surnames crossed the Atlantic. Whereas a dozen genetically distinct branches of a surname may exist in Britain, only one or two branches may have gone to America and, importantly, prospered. I first encountered this phenomenon with a small project that we did with the Lockwoods. For several years Lockwoods in the U.S. had taveled to Britain in search of their ancestors. The problem was that here were two present-day concentrations of the name in England. One was around Ipswich, Suffolk, while the other was in Yorkshire, close to Halifax. U.S. Lockwoods searching for traditional genealogical connections had no clues as to which of these areas to concentrate their efforts. When we were asked for help, Oxford Ancestors sampled Lockwood Y chromosomes from both regions and found a strong genetic connection for the U.S. group with the Lockwooods from Suffolk but nor Yorkshire. Within a few weeks we had identified, through DNA, the ancestal origin of U.S. Lockwoods, enabling family genealogists to concentrate on one region and not waste time on the other."
Note added Aug. 13, 2014. I received the following email from Peter Lockwood concerning the above test. Peter hosts the Lockwood One Name Study Website http://www.lockwoodons.webspace.virginmedia.com/. His email:
"The results of the Lockwood DNA tests as done by Oxford Ancestors can be found at http://www.ofhs.org.uk/met.html#exeter. You will need to scroll down the page until you reach August 2nd 2004. There is a link to a download of a presentation done by David Ashworth, CEO of Oxford Ancestors. The Lockwood results are on slides 27 and 28.
As the testing at Oxford Ancestors was done differently from FamilyTreeDNA a conversion is needed. I have done this on my website at http://www.lockwoodons.webspace.virginmedia.com/. Click on "DNA Study" then "Lockwood DNA Study Results".

Comments on Alice Lockwood's will of 1638. Alice's will in 1638 makes the following bequests:-
William Lockwood £10
Alice Hoddy 20s (£1)
Dorothy Manwood £10
Edward Lockwood £5
This adds up to £26. This was quite a sum for 1638. There are many ways of measuring how much that is worth today – see the site at http://www.measuringworth.com/m/calculators/ukcompare/. Entering £26 into the calculator gave the following results:-
If you want to compare the value of a £26 0s 0d Income or Wealth , in 1638 there are three choices. In 2013 the relative:
historic standard of living value of that income or wealth is £3,521.00
economic status value of that income or wealth is £118,800.00
economic power value of that income or wealth is £722,200.00
So it would seem that the family were reasonably well off.
I am currently investigating ways in which this line can be traced backwards. Most likely it would need to have someone look at the original parish entries, not the transcribed entries, at Combs and Little Finborough (these two hamlets are about a mile apart) and both about 10 miles south east of Bury St. Edmunds. The original entries may reveal new details. These records are likely to be at the Suffolk Records Centre in Ipswich (see http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/assets/suffolk.gov.uk/Libraries%20and%20Culture/Suffolk%20Record%20Office/2012-09-21%20Which%20branch%20do%20I%20need%20JES.pdf) which explains which of the 3 Record centres has which records.
Another option is to see if the two sons that Alice had, that remained in England, Edward and William, had any children. Using the services of a local genealogist is probably required. I am currently investigating some Suffolk based genealogists and will report back when I have further news.

8. The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 27, no. 1 (Sept. 1984), "The Lockwoods of Norwalk, Connecticut," by Harriet Woodbury Hodge, C.G., pp. 9-11:
"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.
The following account deals primarily with the descendants of Ephraim2, son of the immigrant brother Robert Lockwood. Ephraim was an original settler of Norwalk. There were a few hitherto unrecorded Lockwoods who may have emigrated from Norwalk, and others who moved to Norwalk from surrounding towns at an early date. They will be treated in appendices. References are abbreviated in the text, but full citations are listed at the end.

9. 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.
Genealogical Summary
EdwardB Lockwood alias Baker was buried in Combs 15 April 1604. He had a brother Thomas, a wife Joan (buried in Combs 24 January 1591/92) and the following four children:[20]

iv. Edmund1 Lockwood, bapt. 16 January 1598/99, d. between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35 and probably closer to the earlier date, since he was not on the land grant lists for Cambridge beginning August 1633.[24]
v. Robert1 Lockwood, bapt. 18 Jan. 1600/1. For further information on him and his family, see Mr. Anderson's article and Great Migration sketch.[25]

x. John Lockwood, bapt. 21 Dec. 1611; living 14 Dec. 1638. Note that the transcript of Alice Lockwood's will given in Mr. Anderson's article was missing the following clause between the bequests to son William and daughter Alice: "Item I give to John Lockwood my sonne ten pounds".[32]
xi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1613,[33] m. John Manwood; living 14 Dec. 1638.[34] (1) John Manwood, bapt. 12 July 1635, bur. 21 Aug. 1636.[35]

Edmund1 Lockwood was baptized in Combs 16 January 1598/99.[38] He emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1630, and died there between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35.[39] He and his first unknown wife had at least the following four children, baptisms and burials in Combs except as noted:[40]
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]

"Introduction
In 1889 Frederic A. Holden and F. Dunbar Lockwood were the first to make public their researches on Robert1 and Edmund1 Lockwood when they compiled "Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from AD. 1630," which was "Printed Privately by the Family" at Philadelphia.(1) As indicated by the title the bulk of this volume presents the descendants of Robert Lockwood, but a ten-page appendix presents information about Edmund Lockwood. This appendix also includes a brief treatment of John, son of Edmund, but completely loses Edmund, son of Edmund. In 1955 Jacobus characterized this book as "so poorly put together that twice in working on Lockwood lines for descendants the present writer has found their male lines of descent given erroneously. Many descendants of Edmund Lockwood are included among those of Robert."(2)
Donald Lines Jacobus directed his attention to the Lockwood family at least three times during his career. In 1928, as part of his work on the family of Thomas Miner, he prepared a brief treatment of the family of Edmund Lockwood. He noted that a number of descendants of Edmund had been erroneously placed as grandchildren of Robert Lockwood, and so included also a summary of that man's life and Children.(3) In 1930, when he published his three-volume study of the early families of Fairfield, Jacobus included in his first volume separate entries for Robert1 Lockwood, his five sons who married, three grandsons, and Edmund2 Lockwood (Edmund1).(40 Finally, in 1955, Jacobus published two articles on specific problems in the Lockwood family, "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder" (which corrects the history of a fifth generation descendant of Robert) and "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn."(5)
In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge, building on the work of Jacobus and correcting Lockwood Family, published an account of the immigrant Edmund Lockwood and his son of the same name.(6)This volume has limited information on Robert Lockwood. In 1984 Hodge published an extended article setting forth the agnate descendants of Ephraim2 Lockwood (Robert1).(7) The Great Migration Study Project sketch of Edmund Lockwood relies heavily on the work of Jacobus and Hodge.(8)

English Origin
In her 1978 treatment of Edmund Lockwood, Harriet Hodge included baptismal dates for Edmund and Robert, from the parish register of Combs, Suffolk.(9) Her source for this information is the work by Col. Charles E. Banks on the Winthrop Fleet of 1630.(10) Clarence Almon Torrey had commissioned Banks to do this research and, in a letter to Jacobus, Torrey included three baptisms from Combs, Suffolk, two for boys named Edmund and one for a Robert. Torrey concluded that the first of these two Edmunds died young, but Banks decided otherwise in his Winthrop Fleet book.(11)
The original parish register for Combs, Suffolk, has apparently not been microfilmed. What is now available at Salt Lake City is a nineteenth-century handwritten transcript, with the given names in the entries written as standard abbreviations.(12) The earliest register begins in 1569 and was searched for Lockwood baptisms from 1569 to 1650 and for burials from 1569 to 1693. Unless otherwise noted, all parish register entries are from this first Combs register. There are many Lockwood entries from the earliest years, with the surname in several instances given as Lockwood alias Baker or Baker alias Lockwood. We consider in this article only those entries immediately pertinent to the family of the probable parents of the immigrants Edmund and Robert. For the purposes of this article, we have taken at face value the readings for sons "Edm." and "Edw.," but if the transcriber has made any errors with these names, revisions would have to be made in our conclusions.
On 3 September 1592, "Edmund Lockwood & Ales Cowper" were married at Combs.(13) "Edm. Lockwood" was buried there on 23 November 1638 and "Lockwood, Alice, wid.," was buried there on 23 February 1638[/9]. Edmund Lockwood died intestate and on 30 November 1638 administration on his estate was granted to "Alicia eius relict" [Alice his widow].(14)
Four days after this grant of administration Alice prepared her own will, which is transcribed here in full:(15)
"In the name of God Amen I Alice Lockwood of Combes in the countie of Suff[olk] & diocese of Norwich widdowe being sick in bodie but of good understanding & memory praise be god doe ordeyne & make my last will and testament uppon the fourteenth daie of December in the yeare of o[u]r lord god 1638 in manner & forme followeing first I bequeath my soule into the hand of the almightie god my heavenly father stedefastlie beleevyng by his infinite mercie & the infinite merit of the blood of my blessed lord & saviour Jesus Christ to obteyne remission of my sines & an inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith in hym And I comytt my bodie to the earth from whence it was in confident expectation of a ioifull & happy resurection to etemall life and for my woridlie goods w[hi]ch it hath pleased god of his goodnes to bestowe uppon me I thus dispose of them First I give & bequeath to William Lockwood my sonne ten pounds Item I give Alice Hoddy my daughter twentie shillings.

"Probated at Bury St. Edmunds, 27 February 1638, by William Lockwood, son and executor
With this information in hand, we will summarize what we know of the family of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood.
Edmund Lockwood was born perhaps about 1567 and married at Combs, Suffolk, on 3 September 1592 Alice Cowper. Edmund was buried at Combs on 23 November 1638 and Alice Lockwood, widow, was buried there on 23 February l638[/9].
Children (all baptized at Combs):
i. Joan Lockwood, bp. 4 June 1593; no further record, unless she is the daughter who married ___ Sowgate and had son Joseph Sowgate.
ii. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 9 February 1594[/5]; d. soon.
iii. Edward Lockwood, bp. 3 October 1596; living on 4 December 1638.
iv. Edmund Lockwood, bp. 16 January 1598[/9]; not mentioned in mother's will.
v. Robert Lockwood, bp. 18 January 1600[/1]; not mentioned in mother's will.
vi. Dorothy Lockwood, b. say 1603; m. ___ Manwood by 4 December 1638.
vii. Alice Lockwood, bp. 14 April 1605; m. ___ Hoddy by 4 December 1638.
viii. William Lockwood, b. say 1607; living on 27 February 1638[/9], executor of his mother's estate.
ix. Martha Lockwood, bp. 28 October 1610; bur. 31 January 1610[/1].
x. John Lockwood, bp. 21 December 1611; no further record.
xi. Mary Lockwood, bp. Little Finborough, 1 August 1615 (daughter of "Edm. of Combs"); bur. Combs, 21 December 1632.
The eleven baptisms above are spread across twenty-two years, a reasonable span for one woman's Childbearing range. In the 1620s we find a few more baptisms for children of an Edmund Lockwood. In Combs there is a Mary baptized on 5 October 1620 and a "Su:" (presumably Susan or Susannah) baptized on 10 December 1622 (with the annotation "bap. at Litt[le] Finbarrow"). In the register for Little Finborough is the baptism of an unnamed daughter of "Edm. of Combs" on 10 December 1622, who would be the "Su:" noted in Combs. (As noted above, there was also a Mary Lockwood baptized at Little Finborough on 1 August 1615 to "Edm. of Combs," whom we have placed in the main family above.) In the burials at Combs are recorded two children of "Edm. jun.," daughter "Su:" on 5 April 1624 and son Edmund on 20 December 1625.
We are strongly tempted to identify this grouping of records as belonging to the Edmund Lockwood, son of Edmund, baptized at Combs on 16 January 1698[/9]. He would have been about twenty-one years old at the baptism of Mary on 5 October 1620. The three records for a daughter Susan certainly all pertain to this man, as does the burial for son Edmund in 1625.
A problem arises in that the Edmund Lockwood who came to New England had a son Edmund supposed to have been born about 1625. There are, of course, many ways to alleviate this possible conflict. The son Edmund who came to New England could have been the next child born to this Edmund, say about 1626, and still be of the right age for the New England son.
There is no New England record that states explicitly that the New England settlers Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers, but that conclusion is reasonable. Most importantly, on 7 April 1635, "Rob[er]te Lockwood" was "executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased," and his consent was sought for the disposition of Edmund's children.(16) As we will see below, Robert Lockwood apparently took into his household two children of Edmund Lockwood by his first marriage.
In summary, we feel that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk. With the exception of the baptismal and burial records in the 1620s for children of an Edmund Lockwood (which could well belong to the Edmund Lockwood of Cambridge), there are no additional items in the Combs parish register which can be assigned to Edmund or Robert, including no burial record for either, so they could well have moved away. They are not named in the will of the widow Alice (Cowper) Lockwood, a few years after Edmund and Robert had appeared in New England. This pattern is seen frequently in families of migrants to New England, and so their absence from their mother's will is no evidence against the identification.
Further research should be undertaken, however. The original of the parish register should be searched to ensure that the transcription consulted for this article is accurate. Other probate records for the Lockwoods of Suffolk should be examined.

"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.
The following account deals primarily with the descendants of Ephraim2, son of the immigrant brother Robert Lockwood. Ephraim was an original settler of Norwalk. There were a few hitherto unrecorded Lockwoods who may have emigrated from Norwalk, and others who moved to Norwalk from surrounding towns at an early date. They will be treated in appendices. References are abbreviated in the text, but full citations are listed at the end.

3. 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.
Genealogical Summary
EdwardB Lockwood alias Baker was buried in Combs 15 April 1604. He had a brother Thomas, a wife Joan (buried in Combs 24 January 1591/92) and the following four children:[20]

iv. Edmund1 Lockwood, bapt. 16 January 1598/99, d. between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35 and probably closer to the earlier date, since he was not on the land grant lists for Cambridge beginning August 1633.[24]
v. Robert1 Lockwood, bapt. 18 Jan. 1600/1. For further information on him and his family, see Mr. Anderson's article and Great Migration sketch.[25]

Edmund1 Lockwood was baptized in Combs 16 January 1598/99.[38] He emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1630, and died there between 9 May 1632 and 3 March 1634/35.[39] He and his first unknown wife had at least the following four children, baptisms and burials in Combs except as noted:[40]
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]

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.

In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

3. 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.

8. "The Great Migration," by Robert Charles Anderson:
"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]...

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.

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]."

"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...

Note that the following is a partial transcript of the full transcript in the notes of Robert Lockwood; the full article is well written by one of the very best modern genealogists and should be consulted in conjunction with the following notes:
"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.

65. Holden and Lockwood claim that she was "Lady Ann Millington from England, daughter of Lord Millington," an unsupported and highly unlikely identification (Lockwood Family 16-17). In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

2. 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]."

3. 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.

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]...

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]."

"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."

Robert1 came in the Winthrop Fleet in 1630 on the "Mary and John", and settled that year in Watertown, made freeman 9 March 1637, and removed to Fairfield in 1646, where he had owned land as early as 1641. On 20 May 1652, he was made freeman of the Connecticut Colony, and May 1657 the Connecticut Court confirmed him and Nehemiah Olmstead to be sergeants of the Fairfield Train Band under Capt. Nathaniel Seeley. He was executor of the estate of Edmund Lockwood, supposedly a brother, in 1635.

"GENEALOGICAL Summary
Robert1 Lockwood was almost certainly the child of that name baptized at Combs, Suffolk, on 18 January 1600[/1], son of Edmund and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood. He died, probably at Fairfield, between 21 May 1657 (when he was appointed sergeant at Fairfield) and 11 September 1658 (when his inventory was taken), and probably closer to the latter date. He married by 1634 Susanna2 Norman, baptized 31 July 1617 at Charminster, Dorset, daughter of Richard1 and Florence (___) Norman of Salem. Massachusetts.(54) After 20 October 1658 (when she was still referred to as "widow Lockwood"), she married (2) Jeffrey Ferris, and she died at Greenwich on 23 December 1660.(55) Robert Lockwood arrived in New England no later than 1633 (and perhaps as early as 1630). As a resident of Watertown he was granted by the town a full proprietary share, which he sold in 1646, at which time he removed to Stamford, where he purchased the proprietary share of Rev. Richard Denton, which he disposed of in 1650. By 1650 he had removed to Fairfield, where he purchased the proprietary share originally granted to Henry Gray.

65. Holden and Lockwood claim that she was "Lady Ann Millington from England, daughter of Lord Millington," an unsupported and highly unlikely identification (Lockwood Family 16-17). In 1930 Jacobus called her "Ann [?Millington] of Windsor," but in 1955 he referred to her simply as "(first wife)" and gave to Gershom, son of this Gershom, wife Ann Millington (Jacobus, "Old Fairfield," 1:384-85; TAG 31:224). This latter Gershom had a son named Millington (TAG 31:226), which may be the origin of the proposed Millington connection.
66. John Cox, Jr., ed., "Oyster Bay Town Records," Volume I, 1653-1690 (New York, 1916), p. 515. In 1955 Jacobus argued that this Elizabeth died and that Gershom had a third wife, also named Elizabeth. In presenting the estate papers for Gershom, Jacobus states that "The prenuptial contract of Gershom with his widow was dated 2 Oct. 1716" (TAG 31:225-26). This prenuptial contract has not been found, but the will of Gershom Lockwood, dated 2 October 1716, refers to "what I have [given] to my dear & loving wife Elizabeth as in my deed of gift to her" (Fairfield Probate Records Case #3836). If Jacobus mistook this reference to a deed of gift as a prenuptial contract, then we have evidence for only one wife named Elizabeth.

The "circumstantial evidence" was that Sarah Lockwood was available, that Abraham Adams used the names Deborah and Susannah for daughters, and that the children of Daniel Burr with his first wife (one of whom married a Lockwood) chose Adams as their attorney (letters from CAT to DLJ dated 18 and 19 December 1929, and letter of DLJ to CAT dated 20 December 1929, Folder #2, Correspondence of DLJ and CAT, Connecticut Historical Society.

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]."

"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.

(See separate notes above about the general unreliability of this book. Also see notes of Ann Millington for corrections of some specific errors below - Ann Millington should be the wife of Gershom Lockwood Jr. and not Gershom Lockwood Sr; Ann Lockwood who married Samuel Ferris should be the daughter of Gershom Jr. and Ann Millington and not a grand-daughter as indicated below; and the story of Ann Millington being a lady is most likely a fabrication.)
"Lt. Gershom Lockwood, b. 6 Sep 1643, in Watertown, MA, died 12 Mar 1718-19, in Greenwich, Fairfield County, CT...'Gershom,' for he said, 'I have been a stranger, in a strange land.' (Ex.2:22) He removed to Greenwich with his father before he was nine and was only 15 when his father died...was a principal carpenter and builder in the town of Greenwich, and filled many offices of trust and importance.' (Mead's His. of Greenwich, p.113.) Gershom...one of the 27 proprietors of Greenwich. (Ib.) 'Gershom ...and son in 1694-95 were taxed on L153.15s.' He made his Will Nov. 22d, 1692, and was at that time called 'Gershom Lockwood, Senior'. The plain blue slate headstone which marks his grave is well preserved, and bears the following inscription: 'Here lyes ye Body of Mr. Gershom Lockwood, Aged 77 Years, Dec'd March Ye 12th, 1718-19'...m. Lady Ann Millington, from England, dau. of Lord Millington. This lady came to this country in pursuit of her lover, a British army officer. Failing to find him, she taught school, and subsequently married Gershom Lockwood of Greenwich...In 1660 her parents sent her a large oak chest, ingeniously carved on the outside, and strongly built; tradition says 'it contained half a bushel of Guineas, and many fine silk dress,' etc., etc. This identical chest is now (1888) at Mr. Samuel Ferris's house in Greenwich, CT. Lady Millington's granddaughter, Ann Lockwood, b. 1713, married Samuel Ferris. (Editor's Note: With reference to the statement as to Lady Millington, the compilers would say, the only information they have is from the memorandum on the cover of the chest and the statements of elderly persons, now living, to whom the tradition has been handed down, as it undoubtedly has been through a number of generations. There was a Sir Thomas Millington, Knight, M.D., President of the College of Physicians,etc., in England, b. in 1630 and died in 1703-4, who left a son, Thomas, and two daughters, named Anne and Mary. {Morant's History of Essex, England, vol. 2, p.382.} Gershom...m. Elizabeth, dau. of John and Elizabeth (Montgomery) Townsend, of Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York...In the Townsend Memorial...Elizabeth, dau. of John Townsend 1st, married Gideon, son of Peter Wright, and had 8 children. After his death she married Gershom Lockwood, who came from CT, and returned there after his marriage to her." (Note: see hardfile for pictures of both the Millington chest and the Gershom tombstone.)

8. "The Great Migration," by Robert Charles Anderson:
"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].
ii. DEBORAH Lockwood, b. Watertown 12 October 1636 [NEHGR 7:159; WaVR 1:4]; m. (1) by 20 October 1658 William Ward, son of Andrew WARD {1633, Watertown} [GMB 3:1918-21 (which misstates the estimated date of marriage)]; m. (2) by 1678 John Topping [FOOF 1:265, 645 (citing "Marriage agreement between Ebenezer Hawley and Hester Ward, daughter of Mrs. Deborah Topping of Southampton, 19 Apr. 1678")].
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].
vi. GERSHOM Lockwood, b. Watertown 6 September 1643 [NEHGR 7:283; WaVR 1:11]; m. (1) ___ ___ ["Connecticut Ancestry" 47:130]; m.

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]."

9. In the following quote, a brother William seems to be identified with Gershom Lockwood, both being sons of Gershom (1643-1719). I have seen no reference elsewhere to this William.
Per "Lockwood Genealogy" below: "Born in Greenwich, CT...Was taxed ₤47 in 1694-95. He was admitted a freeman of the Colony Feb. 7, 1693-94. (Col. Rec. Conn.) 'In A.D.1687 Gershom Lockwood and William Lockwood his brother, agreed during this year to build a bridge across Myanos river at Dumpling pond, and receive in payment "whatever the Town should see fit to give, after the work was done." A good way to insure good workmanship, and at the present day most builders would shrink from such a test.' (Hy. Greenwich, p. 70) His wife was named Mary __."
The above author gives a source for this comment, which is the book "Ye Historie of Ye Town of Greenwich, County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut," by Spencer P. Mead, available online at https://archive.org/stream/yehistorieofyeto00mea#page/48/mode/2up which I accessed 12 Dec 2016.
As has been noted by many modern day historians, the authors of the "Lockwood Genealogy" have made many mistakes in the earliest generations of the Lockwoods especially with the several generations of Gershoms. The source of their quote is correct; however, it occurs on page 47 and not page 70. Also by the context of the original quote, we see that the authors assigned William as a brother to the wrong generation of Gershom -- the text states that the proper Gershom was the brother of Jonathan Lockwood who died in 1688, which makes him the one lived from 1643 to 1719. Of the entire "Historie of Greenwich," it is the only reference to a William Lockwood, which makes such assertion suspect. In fact, the next page 48 gives the list of landholders of that time and there is no William Lockwood shown. No genealogies on the Lockwood family have ever shown a brother named Willliam to Jonathan and Gershom. Most likely, the original source for the statement must have mis-entered the name of the brother making "William" incorrect.

"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...

Robert1 came in the Winthrop Fleet in 1630 on the "Mary and John", and settled that year in Watertown, made freeman 9 March 1637, and removed to Fairfield in 1646, where he had owned land as early as 1641. On 20 May 1652, he was made freeman of the Connecticut Colony, and May 1657 the Connecticut Court confirmed him and Nehemiah Olmstead to be sergeants of the Fairfield Train Band under Capt. Nathaniel Seeley. He was executor of the estate of Edmund Lockwood, supposedly a brother, in 1635.

14. The periodical “The American Genealogist,” 91(Jan. 2019):66-75, “Gershom3 Lockwood of Cos Cob, Greenwich, Connecticut, Son of Jonathan2 Lockwood,” by Capers W. McDonald:
“Although some of the Lockwood families of Greenwich, Connecticut, prior to the Revolutionary War have been well identified, the relationships and activities of several Greenwich Lockwoods remain unresolved. In a short 1955 TAG article, "The Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich, Conn.," Donald Lines Jacobus noted prevailing confusion over "double lines of Gershorn Lockwoods of Greenwich" living down to the end of the eighteenth century.[1] As an illustration and a correction, Jacobus sketched the following pedigree of seven Gershom Lockwoods of Greenwich:
Robert1 Lockwood
-Jonathan2, d. 1688 = Mary Ferris
-Gershom3, d. 1757 = Hannah -
-Gershom4, d. 1787 = (1) Mary Sackett; (2) Ann -
-Gershom5, 1753-
-Gershom2, d. 1718/9 = -- --
-Gershom3, d. bet. 1761 = Ann Millington
-Gershom4, d. 1776 = Mary Ferris
-Gershom, d. 1796 = Eunice --
Jacobus then wrote, "study of the problems involved has been insufficient to enable us to write a definitive account" of the Gershoms. Instead, he simply presented "brief abstracts of some of the vital, probate and land records which must be used in any consideration of the problems involved."
The earliest Lockwoods in Greenwich had first been described in print in 1857 by Daniel Merritt Mead in “A History of the Town of Greenwich, Fairfield County, Conn., with Many Important Statistics.” They were brothers Gershom2 and Jonathan2 Lockwood (Robert1), listed by Mead among the "twenty-seven proprietors of 1672" who purchased Indian land across the Mianus River, west of the original colonial settlement of Greenwich.[2] Mead mentioned their respective sons-including the fact that each had a son named Gershom-but with little detail. Mead drew on earlier assertions to describe all the Greenwich Lockwoods as "probably descended from Edmund Lockwood ... of Cambridge, Mass."-which was incorrect.[3] The brothers were correctly identified as sons of Robert1 Lockwood, brother of Edmund1, in a full-length genealogy published in 1889, Frederick A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood's “Descendants of Robert Lockwood: Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America” (though unfortunately all of Edmund's actual children were incorrectly stated there to be sons of Robert1).[4]
This 1889 Lockwood genealogy was the first to include a treatment of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) and some of his descendants. That account was followed by Spencer Percival Mead (1911),[5] William Richard Cutter (1912),[6] and subsequent authors.[7] Jacobus, who pointed out the "Gershoms" problem in 1955, had previously covered some of the Lockwoods in his 1930 initial volume of “History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield.”[8] There Jacobus had listed Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) only by name as a child of Jonathan2, with no subsequent information, and also briefly covered the family of Jonathan2 Lockwood's younger brother Gershom2. In none of these works have the children, landholdings, offices, and other evidence of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) been adequately described.
Only by following Donald Lines Jacobus's 1955 guidance and assembly of "vital, probate and land records" has it been possible to produce a sound genealogy of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2). In this article, building on Jacobus's sketch pedigree and record abstracts, some of the several Gershom Lockwoods are disambiguated, with a focus on Gershom3 (Jonathan2). This Gershom settled in the part of Greenwich known as Cos Cob, and his descendants-including the left-hand column in Jacobus's chart-are traced here for two generations, including not only the Gershoms in this branch but their siblings. Among the probate records noted by Jacobus in his 1955 article was the 1733 will of Jabez4 Lockwood (Gershom3, Jonathan2), by which Jabez left land to his parents, Gershom and Hannah, to be distributed after their deaths to Jabez's five named brothers. It is Jabez's will which forms the foundation of the present genealogy of the family of Gershom3 Lockwood of Cos Cob.
A necessary first step to establishing the genealogy of Gershom3 Lockwood (Jonathan2) is a review of the careers of his father and uncle, Jonathan2 and Gershom2 Lockwood, the first Lockwoods in Greenwich. Jonathan was the oldest, born in Watertown, Massachusetts, on 10 September 1634. Gershom, Robert1's sixth recorded child, was nine years younger, born in Watertown on 6 September 1643.[9] The two brothers migrated from Watertown to Fairfield, Connecticut, about 1646, with their father, Robert1 Lockwood.[10] These brothers were named among a total of nine children in Robert's estate inventory in Fairfield in 1658.[11] As young adults, Jonathan2 and Gershom2 settled further west in Greenwich. On 1 January 1656/7, Jonathan Lockwood, along with [his future father-in-law] Jeffrey Ferris,[12] signed an oath in East Towne, New Netherlands (later Westchester County, New York), along with "all the Inhabitants then present," to honor the Dutch "governor of the manatas [Manhattans] as our governor and obay all his magistrates and laws that ar[e] mad[e] a[c]cordin[g] to god so long as we live in his Jurisdiction."[13]
Geography of Early Colonial Greenwich
For the ensuing account of activities and landholdings of the Greenwich Lockwoods, some understanding of the physical geography and the Indian and colonial political geography is helpful. The "Main Country Road," which ran by Cos Cob, was a segment of the original King's Highway (called the "Post Road" once mail service was established) running mostly east and west through modern Greenwich,[14] while most waterways ran generally north-to-south. From west to east, the four significant local Indian territories in the area of Greenwich were known by the Indian names Poningoe, Petuckquapaug (including the village of Cassacubque, anglicized as Cos Cob), Asamuck, and Patomuck.[15]
Furthest west, the Armonck [subsequently Byrarn] River marked what became the border between Connecticut and New York,[16] and defined the westernmost part of Greenwich, Poningoe. As implied by the 1657 oath respecting the Dutch governor noted above, the first colonial title to Poningoe came under a grant to the Dutch West India Company in 1640[17] Next to the east lay Petuckquapaug, between the Minamok[18] and Mianus rivers.[19] Part of Petuckquapaug was later called "Dumpling Pond,"[20] near where two sons of Gershom2 Lockwood built the first bridge over the Mianus River in 1688.
The Indian village of Cassacubque, meaning "high rocks" or "a great ledge of rocks," lay near the principal western tributary of the Mianus River known as Strickland's Brook.[21] There, "on the west side of this brook, and close under a rather abrupt eminence … were built three rows of closely collected Indian huts made of bark ... stretching along under a high bluff covered with tall oaks which sheltered the town from the chilling northwest winds. ... On the plain, east of the hamlet and between it and Strickland's Brook, the wood and underbrush had been cleared away and the ground fitted for raising Indian corn."[22] The name was anglicized to "Cos Cob" by 1686/7, when a Greenwich town committee of Lt. Jonathan Lockwood and six other colonists purchased Horseneck Plantation (part of Poningoe, further west) from Indian proprietors.[23] The Second Congregational Church at Horseneck was founded in 1717,[24] and one of the Gershom Lockwoods became a member in 1729."[25]
East of the Mianus River were the areas known by the names of their waterways, Asamuck Creek and Patomuck Brook. These areas saw the first English settlement in 1640, later referred to as "Greenwich Old Town."[26] Patomuck Brook became the coastal boundary between Greenwich and Stamford.[27] All of these place names are frequently referenced in the deeds; placing them is essential in differentiating the Lockwood families.
Jonathan2 and Gershom2 Lockwood in Greenwich
The earliest Greenwich record found for Jonathan2 Lockwood is from a town meeting of 6 May 1669, at which he and four others were appointed (as summarized in Mead's 1911 “Historie of Greenwich”) to assess "Horseneck and the lands thereabouts ... for the settlement of a township" west of the original settlement, between the Mianus and Byram rivers. On 6 February 1670[/1], a committee was appointed, consisting of "Mr. [John] Holley [of Stamford], Sergeant Jonathan Lockwood, John Mead, and Joseph Ferris" to lay out a township upon the land "near Horseneck Brook to the number of thirty lots, four acres to a home lot." A list of twenty-seven proprietors of the town of Greenwich in 1672 included Jonathan and Gershom Lockwood.[28] The original Indian deed for the "Horseneck Plantation" was a sale "unto Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood, Sergt. John Bowers, John Renalds, Senir, John Marshall, Joseph Mead, Senir, John Hubbe, Senir, and John Mead, Senir, which are the towne's committee." As part of the consideration, the Indian leaders received "planting land" which was "fenced in at Cos Cob Neck ... by estimation about thirtie acres" for their use "during their lives and the lives of the children being in number four, and then to be returned to the towne."[29] On 27 April 1675, Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood and six others "were appointed and fully empowered to lay out all the lands lying between the Mianus and Byram rivers, as it lieth below the Westchester Path [Post Road], and in May of the same year Angell Husted was appointed to draw the lots respecting each man's proportion" of these.[30]
Jonathan2 Lockwood was among four men "Propownded for freemen of Greenwich" on 12 May 1670.[31] His earliest-known Greenwich land record is an agreement between the town of Greenwich and "Jonathan Lockwood, Sr." dated 19 [month illegible] 1669/70.[32] He was recorded as a deputy for Greenwich during the sessions for May and October 1671, May 1673, October 1674, October 1676, and May 1683.[33] A "Greenwich Properties List for the Year 1672 with the Drafts of the Lands on the Est[ate] List" includes brothers Jonathan2 Lockwood with an estate of £114 and Gershom2 Lockwood with an estate of £90.[34]
On 9 May 1672, Jonathan Lockwood and three others were appointed "to measure on an east northeast lyne from Mamorenack River to the west bownds of Fayrefeild ... at the charge of the townes of Norwalke, Standford, Greenwich & Rye."[34] On 8 October 1674, "Lnt. Jonathan Lockwood" and three others were appointed "to runn the lyne between this Colony and the Colony of New York, from Momoronock River to Hudson's River.[36] On 12 May 1681, the Court at Hartford began the founding of Bedford, appointing Lieut. Jonathan Lockwood and three others "to manage, order and dispose of the affayres of that plantation."[37]
What serves essentially as the will of Jonathan Lockwood was recorded on 9 May 1688 in the Greenwich land records as a "Deed of Gift." In it, he named his wife and children and distributed land to his children. Gifts were made to five sons, beginning with "son Jonathan being my eldest." "Unto my second son Robert" he granted "halfe my lands and meadows layd out or unlayed out below & above the Contrye roade lying on the west side of Myanos River;" "unto my third son Gershom the other halfe of the above s[ai]d lands & meadows." Others were his "fourth son Joseph" and "son Still John being my youngest."[38] Greenwich landowners listed on 21 May 1688 included Jonathan Lockwood, Jonathan Lockwood Jr., Robert Lockwood, and Gershom Lockwood.[39]
Jonathan's widow, Mary (Ferris) Lockwood, married second, as his third wife, Thomas Merritt of Rye, New York. Documentation of her marriage settlement was included with papers relating to her estate, both of which give concrete evidence of her Lockwood children. In the marriage agreement, dated 5 June 1696, "Marah [Mary] Lockwood of Greenwich somtime wife to Leftenant Lockwood Deseased" mentioned her "severall Children by my first Husband namely Jonathan Lockwood: & severall of them being at present in there non age." Mary was dead by 26 January 1707/8, when the probate court in Greenwich ordered an inventory to be made with division of her estate to her [surviving] children "Rob Lockwood Gershom Loc[kwoo]d Joseph Loc[kwoo]d Abagail Backster [Baxter] Still John Loc[kwoo]d." The four sons signed acceptance of the inventory in Greenwich, 31 January 1707/8, as "Natural sonns unto Mrs Mary Merritt."[40] (The oldest son, Jonathan, had died on 9 November 1689.)[41] Jonathan2 Lockwood's children, therefore, were Jonathan, Robert, Gershom, Joseph, Abigail, and Still John Lockwood. They are listed briefly by Jacobus in “Families of Old Fairfield,”[42] and treated more fully, though with errors, in Holden and Lockwood's 1889 Lockwood genealogy.[43] Of the sons, Robert, Gershom, Joseph, and Still John Lockwood all had children in Greenwich. Only Gershom3 Lockwood of Cos Cob, this article's subject, is treated in the genealogy below.
Gershom2 Lockwood, the only one of Jonathan2 Lockwood's brothers to settle in Greenwich with him, was chosen to fill Jonathan's seats on the various town committees when Jonathan2 died in 1688.[44] Gershom2 "was the principal carpenter and builder in the town."[45] Gershom died in Greenwich, 12 March 1718/9, "aged 77 years."[46] As he was nine years younger than his brother Jonathan, his earliest Greenwich land records are later: 1664/5 (age 21) and 1668.[47] After his brother's death, Gershom2 was the Lockwood patriarch in Greenwich, reflected in an assessment from the years 1694-95, at which his property, held in common with at least one adult son, was valued the highest of any estate in the town: "Gershom Lockwood & Son," at £153 15s.[48] During 1688, construction began on a bridge across the Mianus River at "Dumpling Pond," called "North Mianus" in 1911 by S. P. Mead. "This was the first bridge built in the Town of Greenwich, and was built by Gershom Lockwood and his brother William Lockwood," apparently the two eldest sons of Gershom2 Lockwood.[49] Gershom2 Lockwood's children were listed and discussed briefly by Jacobus in “Families of Old Fairfield” as Gershom, Hannah, Elizabeth, Joseph, and Sarah.[50] William, who predeceased his father, was omitted from Jacobus's account, though all were noted in Holden and Lockwood's 1889 Lockwood genealogy.[51] They also are not followed in this article, but a revised genealogy of that branch of the family is also needed.
[The balance of the article is a biography and genealogy of Gershom3 Lockwood, son of Jonathan2 Lockwood, which is a line I do not follow nor transcribe from the article.]
