• Notes

  Sarah Lockwood is wrongly thought to have been the niece of Lady Ann Millington. Since Lady Ann was the wife of Lieut. Gershom Lockwood, who was born around 1640 in Watertown, Massachusetts, to Robert Lockwood and Susannah Norman that means Lady Ann belonged to the second generations of Lockwoods in Massachusetts Colony and was amoung the Lockwoods who first settled Greenwich, Connecticut. The Sarah Lockwood who married Alexander Montgomery was born about 1734 and she was of the fifth generation. This means that Lady Ann Millington was her Great grandmother who would have been 95 years old when Sarah Lockwood was born if the old lady was still alive. Romantic story told about her coming to New world to marry a British officer. Then breaks it off to marry GershomIII. Her father sent a chest of gold coins over as her wedding dowry. It's written in The Lockwood Family History that the Sarah Lockwood who married "A. Montgomery" was daughter of Gershom LockwoodIII of Cos Cob. In other records based upon testimony by Alexander Montgomery Senior, who stated, Gershom LockwoodIII was Alexander Jr.and sibling's grandfather. Alex Jr. was in British Army after being taken prisoner early in the war. Land records show that Alexander Montgomery Senior had owned 12 acres on Manhattan Island which he sold in 1771 to his brother-in-law, Jonthan Lockwood. Alexander Senior tells that his children were motherless after her death in New York colony so he took them to live with their grandfather in Greenwich as seen in in his hand in Canadian archives when Alexander Montgomery petitions for lands. If Sarah Lockwood died about 1774 in Spencer Town, New York. Only the first five children were named in Gershom Lockwood III's will in 1775. It would be difficult to locate Sarah Montgomery's burial place in Spencer Town. (Spencertown close to Australitz, about 35-50 miles south of Albany and abt 25 miles north east of Hudson, N.Y. I asked the Historical Soc. if they had information on burials. Information based upon copies of pages sent from "Lockwood Family in Amrica" History of Colonial and Revolutionary period by Historical Society of the Town of Greenwich in Cos Cob, Connecticut. Other information taken from Alexander Montgomery's written petitions to the Government for land grants as a Loyolist. He also helped write petitions for Rachel Myers, mother of Juda Myers who married his son, Alexander Montgomery Junior.
