Newtown Avenue meadows, and his excursions in and out, and greetings from the future Mrs. Colonel Colt and her sister Mrs. Beach, who as young ladies might chance at the time to be visiting their Grand- father Jarvis, at his home which lay along the route to the Thacher and Lockwood lands, are a local re- call of to-day.
Colonel Frederick St. John Lockwood, who is now the last representative of his immediate family generation, was as a mere lad exceedingly fond of saddle riding. It is told that when a child of only five or six he mounted one of the horses and gaily rode as far as Westport, where one of the friends of the family recognized him and asked the young eques- trian whither he was bound. "To New Haven," was the enthusiastic boy's answer. Dr. Richmond turned the horse's head Norwalk-ward and sent horse and rider home.

1There were two Reeds, John and William, in Norwalk (see page 79) as early as 1655-6, but the Reed family proper appeared in this town in about 1684, ehosing for its home seat thesouth western por- tion of the Runekinheage domain, or what is 110w known as Rowayton. Here, where Samuel Richards Weed maintains, in 1899, his summer ehateau, was the " Reed Farm," which embraeed something of an aereage in the present S. R. Weed vieinity. John Reed1 st, the head of the household, was born in Corn- wall, England, in 1633, and had been a soldier from his mid-teens. At the restoration of Charles 1I. he fled to the western world and was found first in Providenee, R. I., where he married Ann, the widow of Franeis Derby. Mr. Derby died in 1663, his will having been probated on October 31 in that year. Mr. Reed subsequently married a Mrs. Scofield, but his children were all by the first union. He removed from Providenee, R. I., to Rye, N. Y., and from thenee, in about 1684 (see pages 267 and 315), to Norwalk. His children were:

"CAPTAIN JOHN THACHER."1
John Thacher1st (page 453) was an old Norwalk "Down Town" boy whose career it is gratifying to recall. The Thachers and Fitchs (Governor) were near neighbors and evidently intimate. John's older brother Josiah asked and gained the hand in wedlock of the Govern-

The Reed family ( John Reed, son of Thomas1st, who was son of John Reed the settler) into which Eliakim Warren 1 st (see page 269) is recorded to have married was (other than Ann-Mrs. Warren) eom- posed of Josiah (who removed to Stamford and mar- ried, December 20, 1752, Sybil Belden, who had Josiah, born October 29, 1753), and John, and Ithiel, and Jonathan. John Reed, the father of these four sons and one daughter, was born August 7, 1701, and Ann was seemingly his oldest ehild. Her brother John may possibly have settled in Stamford also. Her husband's father is interred but a few feet from Thomas Reed, whose wife was from New Haven, and whose family branch has representatives in that eity. The tomb stones of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Reed2nd are surprisingly preserved, and the late Dr. Nathan B. Warren of Troy took care, several years ago, to perpetuate in the same Rowayton grounds, the memory of his Warren foreparent.
1Of the record of its son, Captain John Thaeher, Norwalk may boast. Under date of Washington, D. C., November 1, 1896, General Alexander J. Perry, himself of Norwalk ancestors, states, "You will find in Force's American Arehives, Fifth Series, the report of the Inspector General Varrick, in which Captain John Thatcher is reported as the Captain Command- ing the galley Washington at the battle of Valcour's Island October 11, 1776." The Pension Office in Washington also furnishes evidence to the same effect. George W. Thaeher of St. Louis, Mo., adds further that the gallant Norwalker "raised a company of soldiers and uniformed them at his own expense;"

or's daughter Mary, and how far Mary's brother, the dashing Colonel Thomas Fitch, may have been an example, military wise, to his susceptible seventeen years younger neighbor, John Thacher, it is impossible to say. Young Thacher took up young Fitch's profession, and although the former was only a lad of eighteen when the latter figured at Crown Point, yet we find Thacher following Fitch, geographically, and distinguishing himself in 1776 at the north. Neither of the boys, however, brought any discredit upon Norwalk, and their valor is a matter of Norwalk comment and commendation.
John Thacher, born July 25, 1742, son of Captain Josiah and Mary (Greenleaf) Thacher, was twice married. His children by the first union were :
Partridge, born February 14, 1767 ;
Stephen Greenleaf ;
Betsey.
John Thacher (Thatcher) married, second, Mehitable, daughter of Ebenezer and Jane (Moss) Uffort, and widow of Lieutenant William Thompson, who was killed at the battle of Ridgefield, April 27, 1777, and had :
Anthony1st, born January 27, 1779, died in infancy ;
Mehitable, died July 16, 1780, aged 30 hours ;
Anthony2nd, born January 7, 1782 ;
Betsey, died young ; Daniel, born May 15, 1789.1
Partridge, oldest son of Captain John Thacher, married, February 8, 1788, Mary, born November 21, 1769, daughter of Major Ebenezer Lockwood of Pound Ridge, Westchester County, N. Y., and had eleven children :2
that he eovered the Lake Champlain fleet after an all day fight, and was captured by the British, who so respeeted him for his bravery that they eommis- sioned one of their own surgeons to attend his wounds, and returned him his sword. The hero sleeps in Stratford, but his deeds merit eenotaphic attestation in his native town.
1Daniel, youngest son of John and Mehitable Thacher, was the Bridgeport far and favorably known eitizen of that name. He was a thorough and thrifty business man of that prosperoos manu- faeturing seat, and a safe and conservative eapitalist. His family consisted of Julia and George W.
2Robert, the Fairfield County Loekwood fore- parent, eame from England in 1630 and settled in Watertown, Mass., from whenee he removed sixteen years later to Fairfield. His children were Jona- than1st, Deborah, Joseph, Daniel, Ephraim (the Nor- walk foreparent), John, Abigail, Sarah, and Mary.
Jonathan1st, born September 10, 1634, the old- est ehild of Robert, the American Aneestor, married Mary Ferris of Greenwich and had Jonathan2nd, Robert, Gershom, Joseph, Still John, Sarah and Abi- gail.
Joseph, son of Jonathan1st, married, first, May 19, 1698, Elizabeth Ayres, and had Joseph, Jr., born
Mareh 15, 1699, Hannah, John, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Israel, Mary, and Reuben. Mr. Loekwood married, seeond, August 10, 1716, Margery, daughter of James and Hannah (Seofield) Webb, and had Nathan- iel, Nathan and James.
Joseph, Jr., son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Ayres) Loekwood, married Sarah, born 1700, daughter of Joshua Hoyt of Stamford, and had Eliakim, Joseph, Elizabeth, Gilbert, Ebenezer, born Mareh 31, 1737, Rachel, Merey, Hezekiah and Prudenee.
Ebenezer, son of Joseph, Jr., and Sarah (Hoyt) Loekwood, became the widely known and honored Justiee, Judge, Commissioner, Regent, Provincial Congress and Constitutional Convention member, Ebenezer Loekwood of Westehester County. The fine site of his home is observed as one now enters from the south the romantie village of Pound Ridge. The British during the Revolution so rated his influenee that gold was offered for his head, and his home was burned on the second Friday before Norwalk was consumed. He was twiee married, his children (all by first wife) being Betsey (Mrs. Alsop Hunt), Ruhama (Mrs. Samuel Read), Hannah (Mrs. David Osborn), Mary (Mrs. Partridge Thaeher), Ebenezer, Clarissa (Mrs. Solomon Cox first, and Mrs. Jesse Riehards seeond), Sally (Mrs. Ezra Weed), Ezra, and Horatio,

John1st (Capt.), son of Capt. Josiah and Mary (Greenleaf) Thacher, mar- ried first, Ann, baptized February 19, 1744, daughter of Miah or Micha and Grace (Sturges) Perry of Fairfield, and (see page 456) had :
Partridge, born February 14, 1767;
Stephen Greenleaf ;
Betsey.
Miah or Micha (possibly Michael) and Grace Perry were married Dec. 8, 1742, and had :
Ann, born February 19, 1744, Mrs. Capt. John Thacher ;
Jabez, born September 1, 1745;
David, born October 4, 1747, (see page 13);
Eleanor, born October 19, 1749, Mrs. Jehiel Thorpe ;
Jonathan, born October 6, 1751 ;
Sturges, born March 17, 1754;
Grace, born July 4, 1756, possibly unmarried ;
Mary, born April 9, 1758, Mrs. Wright Weeks ;
Esther, born March 15, 1761, Mrs. Samuel Smith.
Grace Sturges (Mrs. Miah Perry), born March 8, 1723-4, appears to have been the daughter of Peter and Hannah (Jennings) Sturges. Hannah Jennings was the daughter of Joshua Jennings, the settler.
Miah or Micha Perry, the father-in-law of Capt. John Thacher1st, was a brother of Mrs. John (Commodore) Cannon1st of Norwalk (page 13). As the Cannon and Thacher Norwalk homes were in near proximity, it is possible that Mrs. Cannon's niece, Ann, was visiting her aunt when originated the acquaintance of the neighboring young Thacher.
Mrs. Thacher's grandparents were Joseph and Mary (Cluckstone) Perry, and her great-grandparents Nathaniel and Hester (Lyon) Perry. Richard Perry, the settler (father of Nathaniel), was Mrs. Thacher's great-great-grand- father.
Strong genealogy lines, Goodyear (page 13), Wakeman, Lyon, Sturges, Jennings, here meet, and the Thacher-Perry blood consequently was of New England remark.
The first Mrs. Capt. John Thacher died in early married life, and her husband married, second, the widow of Lieut. William Thompson (page 456).

Mrs. Partridge Thacher was a daughter of Major Ebenezer Lockwood, born March 31, 1737, son of Joseph2nd and Sarah (Hoyt) Lockwood, and grandson of JosephIst and Margery (Webb) Lockwood. Joseph Lockwood1st (son of Jonathan) was a grandson of Robert and Susannah, the New England Lockwood settlers, and he was a nephew of Ephraim, the Nor- walk Lockwood settler. Mrs. Partridge Thacher was a great granddaughter of Margery, born October 4, 1683, daughter of Joseph and Hannah (Scofield) Webb, which Joseph Webb, born March 30, 1636 (page 399) was a son of Richard Webb, Jr., the son, presumably, of Richard WebbIst of Norwalk as per page 150.
Major Ebenezer Lockwood was a prominent civilian and military man. He was a member of the Committee of Safety and of the New York Provincial Congress for Westches- ter. He was also a Regent of the University and a member of the Assembly. A price had been set upon his head and on Friday, July 2, 1779, a Colonel (Tarleton) of the British army raided his Poundridge home in the endeavor to affect his capture, and burned his house and bore off his cattle.
Philo, son of Partridge and Mary Thacher, married Cynthia,1 born May 12, 1794, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Slauson) Lockwood, and had :

1Cynthia Lockwood (Mrs. Philo Thacher) de- scended from Lieutenant Gershom Lockwood, son of Robert and Susannah Lockwood, the settlers, and a brother of Ephraim Lockwood, the Norwalk settler. Mrs. Robert Lockwood (Susannah) was of Bulkley, England, blood, and the name, Gershom, has its ap- parent orgin in the Bulkley family. Lieutenant Ger- shom Lockwood (Lockwood Genealogy) married Lady Ann Millington, who came to America in quest of a lover, an officer in the royal army. She failed to find the object of her pursuit, and married a New rather than an old England official, Lieutenant Lockwood, the groom, born September 6, 1643, was almost two years younger than his Norwalk brother Ephraim. Gershom and Ann Lockwood had a
daughter, Hannah, born 1667, who married John Burwell1st (sec pages 235 and 236). These had a daughter Hannah, who married John Betts2nd of Norwalk. John Burwell1st died in 1690 and his widow married Thomas, son of Rev. Thomas Han- ford of Norwalk.
