One of the errors made in The Descendants of Robert Lockwood is that it took Sarah, daughter of Edmund Lockwood, out of her family and placed her in Jonathan's family. Jonathan did not have a daughter named Sarah, at least not one who was living in 1708/9 when Marah Merritt's estate was ordered to be distributed.

Family

Jonathan Lockwood married by 6 January, 1664/5 to Mary Ferris, daughter of Jeffrey Ferris and Mary Anne Milton [GM 2:2:519-20][5][11] Mary's father married Jonathan's widowed mother, and so was Jonathan's father-in-law and step-father.[7]

Children of Jonathan and Mary

1. Jonathan Lockwood, Jr.[7] (1663-1689) died without issue
2. Robert Lockwood[7] (c1664-1731 or '32)
3. Gershom Lockwood[7] (c1667-1757), m. Hannah.
4. Joseph Lockwood[7]
5. Abigail Lockwood,[7] m. Thomas Baxter[12]
6. Still John[7] (1674-1758)

Note: as mentioned above, there is no evidence that Jonathan had a daughter named Sarah. He certainly did not have a daughter named Sarah who was living in January 1708/9, as per the below probate record. Sarah Lockwood, who married Michael Lounsbury in Stamford, was a daughter of Edmund and Hannah Lockwood of Stamford.

Jonathan Lockwood died on 12 May 1688 in Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut; he was 53 years old.[7][13] Find A Grave: Memorial #159345594. His widow, Mary remarried in 1696 to Thomas Merritt.

On 26 January 1708/9, Jonathan's son Jonathan having died without heirs in the interim, the estate of Mary "Marah" (Ferris) (Lockwood) Merritt was ordered to be divided "equally between the children of the sd. dec'd, namely Robert Lockwood, Gershom Lockwood, Joseph Lockwood, Abigaile Backster and Still John Lockwood.[14]
