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 Isaau'st. and Ruth Lockwood were: Hezekiah, >st. born Nov. 15, 1755. Mary, born July 24, 1757. Ruth, born April 4, 1759. Isaac, 2c)- born Dec. 22, 1761. Jeremiah, born March 23, 1764.

After Isaac Lockwood's decease his widow mar- ried, second, a Lyons. Hezekiah, 'st. oldest son of Isaac Lockwood, lst- 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, lst- and his children were Jane, Robert, 2tl- Alleii, 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, 'St. married Joseph Warren Hoyt, brother of Rev. Melancthon Hoyt. Her brother, Robert,2d- married Ann Bronson, of Middletaury, 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, 'at. 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, '-t- son of Isaac,1'*- was a Revolutionary soldier. His home was the present Cameron house on Newtown Avenue. 2This John Lockwood married, April 27, 1746, Mar}', 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. 'st. 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_ 2V 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. zg2 OF ELIPHALET MK'KH'OO DESCENT.
