Caution
"Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from A. D. 1630" publ 1889 contains major mistakes and has lead to problems in understanding the lineage of the Lockwoods in America. Apparently the surviving children of Edmund Lockwood [c 1594-c 1635], brother of Robert [c 1600- c 1658] , were assigned to Robert instead of Edmund. Donald Lines Jacobus wrote an article published in the The American Genealogist in 1954, entitled "An Atrocious Lockwood Blunder." Unfortunately not everyone has been informed, even now, about the problems in the 1889 book. The errors have been repeated and propagated in many other works, and now are infecting many of the databases available online. Jacobus cautions us with a "warning against accepting the statements of this book as authentic without thorough investigation and verification." This is an appropriate warning in regards to any secondary source in genealogy, but it is especially essential in regards to the Lockwoods.

If Abigail was born in 1715, her mother, Sarah, would only have been 9 years old. I have found no supporting evidence that Abigail was Joseph and Sarah's daughter. The birth dates of the other children seem legitimate.

Lockwood-1976 and Lockwood-38 are not ready to be merged because: I agree these need to be straightened out. Do you have more resources than the one book I've been using?

Lockwood-1976 and Lockwood-38 appear to have the same husband (who also have duplicate profiles). The fathers are different, and the siblings are different. I've seen many Lockwood families of different lines with similar names of both the parents and the children. The fathers' profiles, Lockwood-1954 and Lockwood-37, also have conflicting parents, so this is going to have to be sorted out a long way back. I propose setting Lockwood-1976 and Lockwood-38 as an unmerged match until we can sort all of this out.

Lockwood-1976 and Lockwood-38 appear to represent the same person because: These women seem to have the same husband but not the same father. Perhaps you could check your sources and see if they are the same. My source is available on Google Books: Holden, Frederick A. and Lockwood, E Dunbar, comp. Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from A. D. 1630. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Printed privately by the family, 1889.
