On the south side of the village, being a part of the old estate of the Lockvvoods, are the residences of Horatio and Ezra Lockwood, Esqrs. These gentlemen are the sons of Major Ebenezer Lockwood of the Continental army, one of the most active and efficient members of the committee of public safety.^ He was the son of Capt. Joseph Lockwood, one of the first setlers of Poundridge,

The Lockwood family originally derived from a place of the name in Staffordshire, England, and are probably descended from Edmund Lockwood, a freeman of Massachusetts in 1631, who subsequently removed to Connecticut with Messrs. Hooker and Stone.

Ezra Lockwood, Esq., of Poundridge, was for many years a judge of the late court of common pleas, in this county. Of this family is the Hon. Albert Lockwood, present judge of the county, and General Munson L Lockwood, county clerk.
