'The following extract from Norwalk Town Rec- ords. Vol. II, will explain the Hale - Olmsted home- Jot jointure :
"Thomas Adgate, of Norwich, May 30, 1663, ad- ministrator of Richard Bushnell's estate, and having married said Bushnell's widow (Mary, daughter of Matthew Marvin, Sr. ), sells one home-lot with house, trees, etc., to Richard Olmsted ; which said home-lot was purchased of Samuel Hale, late of Norwalk, by Richard Bushnell, and which said home-lot was pur-
chased by the said Samuel liale of his brother, Thos. Hale, unto which Thomas Hale, the plantation grant- ed the same-four acres-in home-lot, etc., sold to Richard Olmsted for £20." This homestead Richard Olmsted, Sr., bequeathed to his son James, ist. with the permission that he ( Jas. ) might exchange (' with- in one year and a day after the decease of Richard') lots with John Olmsted. James Olmstedist. did so ex- change." One or both brothers Hale went to Charles- town, as per Norwalk record.

Ebenezer, born 1669. Abigail, born 1672.
Samuel, 2d. born May, 1678. Jedediah, born Aug., 1681.
Samuel Campfield'st. appears to have accompanied his father to Newark, but to have returned again to Norwalk. His house would seem to have been on the west side of the river, near "Campfield Hill," which was evidently the rise of ground southerly of the sum- mit of Flax Hill. The old "Stamford path" ran in its neighborhood. When Matthew Campfield left Norwalk for Newark his landed estate, including his home-lot, fell to his son, Samuel, from whose three sons, Ebenezer, Samuel and Jedediah, the Campfield name spread throughout this part of the Colony.
Ebenezer, oldest son of Samuel,'s. and the oldest grandson of Matthew Campfield, the charterer, married, at the age of twenty-five (March 24, 1694), first, a Henery, and had a large family, his children being :
Patience, born Oct. 8, 1695.

"The reason for my writing to you is the confi- dence which I have of your doing me ye favor and that speedily for my business requires haste.

The Weston Warrens have choicely preserved this document with sundry writing, etc., which they claim appertain to the family of Joseph Warren, (father of Gen. Joseph Warren) of Mass.
John and Catherine (Tuttle) Waring had a son, John, born 1736, whose son, Peter, born 1781, married Esther Crosby, and had John Thomas Waring, born 1820, the heavy Yonkers, N.

OF CAMPFIELD DESCENT.
Lydia, born March 11, 1706, daughter of Ebenezer and Mary ( Henery) Camp- field, married Joseph Crofoot, which Campfield-Crofoot union introduces a family chain, the links of which a number of old Norwalk households unite to forge. Ebenezer, son of Joseph Crofoot, married a daughter of Jacob and Experience (Reed) St. John. Jacob St. John was a son of Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Comstock) St. John, which Ebenezer St. John was a son of Matthias2d. and Elizabeth St. John, who were son and daughter-in-law of Mat- thias St. John, Sr. Mrs. Ebenezer Crofoot was a daughter of John Reed, 2d. son of John1st. and Ann (Derby) Reed. These had a son, Joseph,2d. who married May 15, 1776, Esther St. John, and had Ebenezer, born May 10, 1777. Joseph Crofoot lived in the old house, still standing, on the Silvermine road, next home, west side, above the Crofoot Corner. Ebenezer, son of Joseph Crofoot, married, Sept. 3, 1795, Sarah Gregory, who was the daughter of Elias and Elizabeth (Raymond) Gregory, who were married Dec. 29, 1776. Elias Gregory was the son of Ensign Matthew Gregory, born 1711, who was a son of Deacon Matthew, born 1680, who was the son of Jachin, (see page 82) son of John'st, and Sarah Gregory, the Gregory settlers. Ebenezer and Sarah (Gregory) Crofoot's children were Esther ( Mrs. Noah Smith, first, and Mrs. Daniel Chase, second,); Betsey Ann (Mrs. Darius St. John); Sarah (Mrs. Charles Thomas): Electa (Mrs. Matthew Kellogg): Matilda (Mrs. Rev.

HOME-LOT XX.
JONATHAN MARSHL. EPHRAIM LOCKWOOD.
On the crest of the Earle's Hill of 1896, and embracing the structure known as the Earle summer residence, stood the home-lot of, first, Jonathan Marsh. the early Norwalk miller, and after Jan. 30, 1664, the hearthstone of Ephraim Lockwood. Mr. Marsh seems to have hailed from New Haven. He "ran," probably with intermittent success, Norwalk's original mill, but does not appear to have long been an incumbent of the position. Of his Norwalk residence there is no extended record. He, it is quite possible, removed, anon, from the town and " left no sign." He, in 1664, sold a portion of his property, his house and about one acre, to Ephraim Lockwood, who thenceforth tenanted the property, and there, the next year, founded the cradle of all the Norwalk Lockwoods.

'Isaac Lockwoodist. inherited his father Joseph's large home property. This estate fronted on the present Newtown Avenue (east side) from the Jarvis Hill upper corner (opposite the northern limits of St. Paul's Church site) almost as far north as the North Centre School house of 1896. From this latter point the boundary line ran east as far as the back road which forms the western limits of the new County Home for Children on the Westport road, from whence the line took a westerly direction (on the Westport road) back to the starting point opposite the Jarvis home. Isaac Lockwood married Jan 10, 1755, Ruth, daughter of Hezekiah and Margaret (Har- ris) Whitney. Ruth's father was the first elected vestryman of St. Paul's Parish. The children of Isaacist. and Ruth Lockwood were :
-
Hezekiah, Ist. born Nov. 15, 1755.
Mary, born July 24, 1757. Ruth, born April 4, 1759. Isaac,2d. born Dec. 22, 1761. Jeremiah, born March 23, 1764. Josiah, borń May 18, 1766. Samuel, born Jan. 24, 1769. Sarah, born Jan. 21, 1772. David.
Mercie (or Mary) Mrs. Nathaniel Stuart).
After Isaac Lockwood's decease his widow mar- ried, second, a Lyons.
Hezekiah, Ist. oldest son of Isaac Lockwood, Ist. married, Jan. 25, 1776, Catherine, daughter of Daniel Seymour, and had Hannah (who became the wife of William Haynes Fitch); Lewis; Elizabeth ( Mrs. Robert Cameron, Sr.,); Sarah; David ( father of Deacon Charles Lockwood, whose son, Charles Sey- mour Lockwood, lives in 1896 on East Avenue).
Robert Cameron, Senior, born June 15, 1771, a Scotchman, came in about 1801, from Canada to Nor- walk. His wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Hezekiah Lockwood, ist. and his children were Jane, Robert, 2d. Allen, John and James (died in infancy). They lived
---
in the old Isaac Lockwood house, since known as "the Cameron house," on Newtown Avenue. This house was burned by Tryon and a new one (Cameron house of 1896) was put up immediately. As this structure was erected soon after the town's burning there were only old men and boys (the middle-aged men were mostly in the war) left to do the work. This accounts for the somewhat slight construction of the old building. Jane, daughter of Robert Came- ron, ist. married Joseph Warren Hoyt, brother of Rev. Melancthon Hoyt. Her brother, Robert, 2d. married Ann Bronson, of Middlebury, Conn., and her bro- ther, Allen, married, first, Abigail Bennett, and, sec- ond, the widow of Edwin Sherwood, formerly of Nor- walk. Mr. Allen Cameron's two wives were sisters. John Cameron, son of Robert, Ist. married April 10, 1830, Rachel, daughter of Lockwood and Elizabeth (Raymond) Baker, and had John Wesley, who died young, and Jane, who married, Oct. 25, 1851, Stephen, son of Jessup (see page 235) and Sarah (Johnson) St. John, and had Rachel Jane, Stephen, Robert Came- ron, Julia Elizabeth and Peter Alanson. The last child died young.
Hezekiah Lockwood, ist. son of Isaac, Ist. was a Revolutionary soldier. His home was the present Cameron house on Newtown Avenue.
2This John Lockwood married, April 27, 1746, Mary, born Jan. 29, 1718-19, daughter of Samuel and Sarah ( Betts) Keeler, and grand-daughter of Samuel and Sarah (St. John) Keeler, and great grand-daugh- ter of Ralph Keeler. Ist. The children of John and Mary Lockwood were Mary, born Dec. 18, 1748 (Mrs. Jedediah Brown); Lydia, born May 22, 1751, (Mrs. Hezekiah Raymond); Sarah, and Hannah, born Jan. 23, 1757, who married James Smith. The statements of this foot-note and those of the second sub-note of page 263 are with some difficulty fully reconcilable, nevertheless, both Fairfield Probate and Norwalk Town Records attest to the truth, at least, in some measure, of the notes' attestations.

Nathan Selleck, born Sept. 12, 1786, was the oldest child of Jonathan and Abigail (Gold) Selleck, and his wife, Su- sanna, baptized June 8, 1690, was the only child of William Hooker, of Farmington, Conn. As William Hooker was the son ( third ) of Rev. Samuel (and Mary Swanzey) Hooker, who was the son of Rev. Thomas Hooker, the founder of Hartford, it follows that all of Eliphalet and Susanna Lockwood's descendants are of Thomas Hooker blood. These same Lockwood descendants are also of the blood of Major Nathan Gold, of Fair- field, and of Hon. Richard Law, of Stamford. Hooker, Law and Gold is one of the strongest family combinations in New England.
