      1. "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Volumes I-III (Online database: NewEnglandAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2002), by Robert Charles Anderson, 1995. Note that the entry was later edited and republished in 2014 by the same author; see "The Winthrop Fleet; Massachusetts Bay Company Immigrants to New England 1629-1630" (NEHGS; Boston, 2014). The version below is the most current version:
      "EDMUND LOCKWOOD
      ORIGIN: Probably Combs, Suffolk ["Connecticut Ancestry 47:120-23].
      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]. ESTATE: On 3 March 1634/5, "It is ordered, that Ruth [sic] Lockwood, widow, shall bring all the writings that her husband left in her hands to John Haynes, Esq., & Simon Bradstreete, on the third day of the next week, who shall detain the same in their hands till the next Court, when they shall be disposed of to those to whom they belong" [MBCR 1:134]. 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). [KP note: It appears the author did not update this statement in the revision since the COMMENTS do not address the birth at all; however, the his reference to "Connecticut Ancestry" does as 16 Jan 1598/1599 at Combs, Suffolk, England.] DEATH: Cambridge between 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:95, 96] and 3 March 1634/5 [MBCR 1:134] (and probably closer to the earlier date, since Edmund Lockwood does not appear in any of the recorded Cambridge land grants beginning in August 1633). 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 THOMAS SCOTT {1634, Ipswich} [GM 2:6:209-13].
      ii child LOCKWOOD, (one or more additional children by first wife implied by court order to the Watertown church "to dispose of the elder children" [MBCR 1:151]); no further record.
      With second wife
      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]."

      2. This wife's name is unknown and unproved. There is a slight possibility it could be Ruth per the comment which follows per 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:

      "Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) and his Son Edmund Lockwood (c. 1625-1693)":
      Edmund Lockwood of Combs, county Suffolk, the English progenitor, married there 3 September 1592 ALES Cowper (Cooper). Of their "Children, two sons came to Massachusetts in 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet:
      1. Edmund Lockwood, baptized 9 February 1594 at Combs. (Charles E. Banks, 'The Winthrop Fleet of 1630,' Boston, 1930, pp. 79, 80.) He 1/m. before 1625 in England, ____, an unknown wife who perhaps d. shortly after her arrival in America. He 2/m before 1632 Elizabeth Masters, daughter of John Masters of Cambridge, Mass. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404)...
      1. Edmund Lockwood, (Edmund of England), bp. 9 February 1594 at Combs, co. Suffolk, d. before 3 March 1634/5 at Cambridge, Mass. He came in 1630 with the fleet, which brought Governor John Winthrop to New England. Edmund first settled at Watertown and then at New Towne (Cambridge) where he was called "Mr.," a title of respect. His request to be made freeman of the colony on 19 October 1630, was granted 18 May 1631. He was juryman 9 November 1630: was appointed constable at Cambridge in May 1632 and the same year he was one of two persons appointed to confer with the court about raising a public stock. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404). In 1635 his brother Sergeant Robert Lockwood was appointed executor for Edmund's estate and Children. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900,, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404).
      Edmund 1/m. before 1625 in England, ___, an unknown wife, who perhaps d. shortly after her arrival in America. On 3 March 1634/5 the court asked the widow "Ruth" to bring in writings left by her husband, Edmund Lockwood. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71). Other records show clearly that Edmund's widow was Elizabeth (Masters), whom he had m. at least three years previously (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404). Was Ruth in error for the name of the first wife? There is no proof of this theory, although some have made the assumption.
      Edmund 2/m. before 1632 Elizabeth Masters. She was d/o John Masters of Watertown and Cambridge, who d. 21 December 1639 and by his will two days before his death named with others, his grandchild. John Lockwood and his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Cary Latham. Edmund's widow m. Mr. Latham and in 1646 moved to New London, Connecticut, taking her son John Lockwood with them. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404 & Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus). See Appendix 1, p.71.
      The only known child of Edmund Lockwood and his first wife was:
      i. Edmund Lockwood, b. about 1625 in England, m. 7 January at Stamford, Ct. Hannah Scott. Lack of mention of Edmund Lockwood, Jr. in the wiII of John Masters would indicate that Edmund, Jr. was by an earlier wife, reinforced by a court order 2 June 1635, after the death of Edmund Lockwood, Sr. to place out "elder children" (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus).
      There were undoubtedly one or two other children of Edmund1 Lockwood by first wife, but apparently none survived, for only Edmund, Jr. claimed the estate of his half -brother, John, in 1683.
      The only known child of Edmund and Elizabeth (Masters) Lockwood was:
      ii. JohnLockwood, b. November 1632 at Cambridge, Mass. (Vital Records, town or civil records. For Connecticut the source most often consulted has been the Barbour Index of vital records in the Connecticut State Library and widely available elsewhere on microfilm). He went to New London, Ct. with his mother and stepfather, Cary Latham. On 20 July 1658 Cary Latham conveyed to his son-in-law (i. e. step-son) John Lockwood (New London deeds 3:63) (Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus). John lived at Foxen's Hill in New London and d. in 1683, unmarried (Francis M. Caulkins, 'History of New London,' 1895, pp. 89 and 312). New London deeds 5:18 contains a record that Edmund Lockwood of Stamford was declared heir of the estate of his brother, John Lockwood of New London by the County Court 3 June 1684. There are also deeds from Edmund Lockwood of Stamford, conveying lands inherited from his brother, John (New London deeds 5:76, 102 (Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus & Francis M. Caulkins, 'History of New London,' 1895, pp. 89 and 312). Edmund Lockwood was the sole heir."

      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, Appendix 1, has the following quote to which the author attributes her source as follows: "All material on pages 71-73, except for this compiler's interpolations in brackets, is copied verbatim from the following source: Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, "Descendants of Robert Lockwood," Philadelphia, 1889. pp. 633-42. [This book contains many verbatim copies of previously unpublished and published Lockwood records. Unfortunately, these records were often ignored or misinterpreted by the compilers of the genealogy.]" The portion of the appendix applying to Edmund's wives - see Edmund's notes for full transcription of appendix:
      He, 'Mr. Lockwood' was one of the two persons appointed by the court May 9th, 1632, for New Towne (Cambridge) to confer with the court about the raising of a publick stock. At the same time he was appointed constable of New Towne. He died previous to March 3d, 1634-5, when his widow Ruth (?Elizabeth) was ordered by the court to place all writings left by her husband in the hands of John Haynes, etc. [i.e., Simon Bradstreete]. It is very probable that he was one of those first planters of Watertown who went thither with Sir Richard Saltonstall; that upon the planting of New Towne [Cambridge] the next year, either he moved thither, or he had settled so far to the east as to be within the bounds assigned to New Towne, and that he was a brother of Robert Lockwood of Watertown, who was executor of his estate. This supposition is favored by the facts, 1st. That on the 31st March 1631 (before New Towne was planted), he was a surety for Nicholas Knapp of Watertown. 2dly. On the 7th of March, 1635, the general court referred to the church of Watertown, with the consent of Robert Lockwood, executor of Edmund Lockwood, deceased, to dispose of the elder children of said Edmund Lockwood and the estate given to them at their discretion. It is probable that he had two wives, the first of whom was the mother of "the elder children" assigned to the care of the Watertown church. His second wife was Elizabeth, daughter of John Masters, of Watertown, by whom he had a son John, born in New Towne, November, 1632. After his decease his widow Elizabeth married Cary Latham, of New Towne, who moved to New London, Connecticut, and by him she had several children (see Caulkins' Hist. of New London, pp. 87, 306 and 312; also [NEHG] Reg. 2:180; 4:62; also Hist. of Norwalk, Ct. by Edwill Hale, D. D., pp. 184, 203, 218, etc.) It is probable that all of the name of Lockwood in New England are descended from Robert and Edmund, and there is not much doubt but that there is a misnomer of the widow of Edmund in the Court Records of Massachusetts Bay as printed 1:134 and Index.
      P. 635 - March 3rd, 1634/5. It is ordered that Ruth Lockwood, Widd, shall bring all the writeings that her husband lefte in her hands to John Haynes, Esqr., & Simon Bradstreete, on the third day of nexte weeke, whoe shall detaine the same in their hands till the nexte Court, when they shall be disposed of to those to whome they belonge. (Records of Mass., vol. 1, p. 134.)
      P. 635 - April 7th, 1635. It is refered to the church of Waterton, with the consent of Robte Lockwood, executr of Edmund Lockwood disceased, to dispose of the children and estate of the said Edmond Lock wood, gyven to them, to such psons as they thinke meete, wch if they pforme not within foureteene dayes, it shall be lawfull for the Gounr, John Haynes, Esqr, and Simon Bradstreete, to dispose of the said children & estate as in their discrecon they shall thinke meete, as also to take an accompt of the said Robte Lockwood, and give him a full discharge. (Records of Mass., vol. 1, pp. 143, 144.)
      P. 635-6 June 2, 1635. In the cause of the children and widdowe of Edward (sic) Lockwood, (the elders and other of the church of Waterton being prsent,) and vpon consideracon of the order of the Court in Aprill last made in the case, wch was found not to have bene observed, because the estate was not computed and apportioned, it is nowe ordered, with consent of all pities, vs.: the Church of Watertown, the wad of said Edmund livening, and the executor having consented to the former order, that the present Gounr and the Secretary shall have power to call pties and witnesses for finding out the true estate, and having consideracon of the uncertainty of the will, and the debts, and other circumstances, to apporcon the remainder of the estate to the wife and Children, according to their best discrecon; and then the Church of Waterton is to dispose of the elder children and their psons as shal be best for their Christian educacon and the preservacon of their estate. (Records of Mass. vol. i, p. 151.)
      P. 640 JohnLockwood, SON of EDMUND: John Lockwood died in 1683. 'We suppose this person to have been the son of Elizabeth, wife of Cary Lathan, by a former husband, Edward (sic) Lockwood, and the same whose birth stands on record in Boston, ninth month, 1632. He dwelt on Foxen's Hill, at a place known as the Wheller homestead. In the settlement of the estate, no heir appears but Edmund Lockwood, of Stamford, who is called his brother.' Caulkins' History of New London, p. 306 and on p. 87 quotes, "John Lockwood as a new inhabitant in 1654."
      Vol. 1:181. In early records of Boston and Cambridge, copied from the Antiquarian Journal, by Dr. Pulsifer, it reads thus: "John the sonne of Edward (sic) Lockwood and Elizabeth his wife was borne (9) 1632."
      P. 641 [Abstract: The will of John Masters of Suffolk County, Mass. He d. 21 December 1639. Estate to my wife for her lifetime; afterward to daughters Sarah Dobyson and Lidya Tabor; to grandchild John Lockwood; to Nathaniel Masters and Abraham Masters; remainder to daughter Elizabeth Latham.] (N.E.H. and G. Register, vol. 2, p. 180.)"

      4. 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: "...freeman of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in New England, May 18th, 1631. (Records of Mass. vol.1, p.366. John Farmer, Gen'l Reg., p.181) Was of Cambridge in 1632. (John Farmer, ibid.) In Paige's History of Cambridge, Mass., 1632, p.32, the same 8 names are mentioned on p.8, as being the first 8 inhabitants of New Town, and in both lists Mr. Edmund Lockwood's name appears third..." (Note: see hardfile for numerous court records in which Edmund is mentioned. Note especially his willingness to pay the five pound fine of Nicholas Knapp who may have been his brother-in-law.) "He died previous to 3 Mar 1634-5, when his widow Ruth [?Elizabeth] was ordered by the court to place all writings left by her husband in the hands of John Haynes, etc...he was a brother of Robert Lockwood of Watertown, who was executor of his estate...to dispose of the elder children of said E.L. and the estate given to them at their discretion. It is probable that he had two wives, the first of whom was the mother of 'the elder children' assigned to the care of the Watertown church. His second wife was Elizabeth, dau. of John Masters, of Watertown, by whom he had a son John, born in New Towne, Nov. 1632. After his decease his widow married Cary Latham, of New Towne, who moved to New London, Conn., and by him she had several children. It is probable that all of the name of Lockwood in New England are descended from Robert and Edmund, and there is not much doubt but that there is a misnomer of the widow of Edmund in the Court Records of Massachusetts Bay."

      5. 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.

      6. 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.

      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]

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