Netherlands, promising allegiance to the Dutch governor “so long as we live in his jurisdiction”; was of Stamford , Conn Oct. 16, 1660 and resided there until 1665, when he sold his estate there and removed to Greenwich.

He became a prominent citizen (History of Stamford, pp 31, 56) and represented the town in the Legislature four years. Up to 1668 Lieutenant 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. (History of Greenwich, p69).852
