Notes:
                   Lillian Lounsberry (Miner) Selleck genealogical investigation mentions many errors in a book titled "Lockwood Genealogy".  Lillian reports that there  were two Sarah Lockwoods and confusion over which Sarah was married to Michael Lounsberry.  She determined through probate records that this Sarah Lockwood, daugther of Edmund Lockwood and Hannah Scott was the one married to her ancestor, Michael Lounsberry.   Lillian discovered that the other Sarah Lockwood was the daughter of Ephraim Lockwood and is identified as such in her marriage record to John PLATT, Jr.  Furthermore, Lillian notes that the other Sarah would have been about 51 years old when the youngest of Michael Lounsberry's children was born, again evidence that she could not be the Sarah married to Michael.

Lillian notes:  "The parentage of Sarah Lockwood, the wife of Michael Lounsberry, is clearly proved by her brother Edmund's will, and unquestionably she is the third (unnamed) daughter mentioned in the record of her father's estate.  The "Lockwood Genealogy" errs first in making this Sarah the daughter of Jonathan Lockwood and second in introducing the children of Edmund into the family of Ephraim Lockwood, Jonathan and Ephraim being sons of Robert Lockwood.  Since many other genealogical works have been led into error by following these mistakes, a brief summary of the other Lockwood family is appended."

Notes:
                   His second marriage was to Martha (unknown surname) and she died 14 Jan 1813, aged 88.  Between 1759 and 1774 he removed to North Castle.  His will was dated 28 May 1787 and proved 12 Dec 1787, mentioned Hannah SMITH, Sarah BROWN, Lydia SUTHERLAND, Joshua Jr., and the latter's son, Silas, and Martha and Mary Ann SUTHERLAND, his grandaughters.  His legal representatives named in the distribution of his brother's (Jonathan) estate in 1791 were: Joshua Lounsbery, Hannah Smith and Lydia Sutherland.  his son Joshua Jr., served in the Revolutionary War.  His first wife, Hannah Scofield, was probably the mother of his children, Hannah, Sarah, Lydia, Joshua and Martha.

On 11 May 1754 (Stamford, CT deed F:115) Joshua Lounsberry conveyed to Nathaniel HUBBARD et al "part of right of my grandfather Edmund Lockwood, dec'd...and descended to his son, John, deceased, and by him to my mother Sarah Lounsberry"...  (Joshua here is slightly confused in that Edmund Lockwood's son John predecased his father, but Stamford common land rights of both Edmund and John Lockwood descended to Edmund's children, including Sarah Lockwood Lounsberry, Joshua's mother.)
