    Other Events:

    • AFN: 9J2R-39

    Notes:

    (Research):BIRTH: "The Loomis Family in America" does not show her as a child of James Rockwell and Abigail Loomis.
    Will of James Rockwell dated 27 Feb 1770 (Hartford Probate 1776, #4608) lists all children except Lucy. There also is no record of a Lucy near this birth date in the Windsor town records, parish records, or parish records of East Windsor, where James Rockwell resided. All other children were born in Windsor (east side of the Connecticut River in what is now East Windsor).
    "General History of the Town of Sharon, Litchfield County, Conn." by Charles F. Sedgwick, A.M., 3rd Ed., 1898, copy at CT Valley Historical Museum indicates Sharon first explored in 1738, settled in 1739, no Rockwells among the early settlers. - D0010
    Conclusion: Lucy was not born in Sharon, CT, nor is there concrete evidence she was she the daughter of James Rockwell and Abigail Loomis.
    Searched: Correspondence and manuscripts of Winifred L. Holman at the NEHGS, (cat #SG MEA 11, 12). Nothing new.
    Family Records of John Mears of Roxbury, MA (NEHGS, 1 M 190). Not related
    Probate of Joseph Rockwell of Colebrook, CT, 15 Oct 1770. Died insolvent. Lists Elijah (admin.) and Samuel Rockwell as willing to pay judge's fees.
    Connecticut vital, church and newspaper records. Nothing new.
    DEATH: "Decendants of Robert Meares of Boston, Mass.", compiled 1919-1950 by Theoda Mears Morse, copy at NEHGS, p. 66 gives name as Lydia, referring to Warren, Revision of 1897. Died on way to Milton to visit her son John. Son Roswell preached the funeral sermon. Buried in Milton. Gravestone gives death date, age 83. - D0001

    1992 IGI shows a Lydia Rockwell, daughter of Daniel Rockwell and Margaret Loomis, born 4 Oct 1740, Windsor, CT.
    She appears to have married a Strong

    Middletown First Church Records, vol. 1, pg 63, Lucretia Rockwell, daughter of William Rockwell and Hannah Foster of Middletown (m. 2 Jun 1731, Middletown Vital Records v.1, pg 58) chr. 28 Aug 1737, b. 24 Aug 1737 (Midd. VR v1 p58)

    A Josiah Rockwell and wife Lucy resided in Lebanon, CT. She died 7 Nov 1800 age 82 (NEHGS Register, vol 74, pg. 67). They were m. 25 Dec 1740, Norwich, New London, CT (IGI), so it seems unlikely they are the parents of Lucy, born 1735.

    A Lucy Rockwell, dau. of John Rockwell of Norwich is mentioned in his will of 1753 as not yet 18 years old. (NEHGS search on Lucy Rockwell, probate)

    A Lucy Rockwell, granddaughter of Hezekiah Porter of Windsor, CT is mentioned in will of 24 Mar 1741/2 (sons Hezekiah and Samuel, Lois Thacher & Deborah daughters) (NEHGS search on Lucy Rockwell - CT Nutmegger article from 2003) On NFS Lois Porter shows up with a marriage to James Rockwell and a marriage about 1729 in Windsor. Unfortunately, Hezekiah m. 25 Aug 1719 Sarah Wright, so any child would have been only 15 or less when my Lucy was born, so this is an unlikely lead.

    Her name was given as Lydia Rockwell, according to Warren revisions of 1897. She was purportedly the dau. of James & Abigail (Loomis ) Rockwell, ( according to old family records , p. 5 of "Some descendants of John Mears & Lucy Rockwell.")
    She came from her home in Poultney, Vt. , on horse back with her son Stehen Mears, to visit her sons in Milton. It was in the winter time (March) and she took cold and died and was buried in Milton. Mar 1818 age 83 years. Her son Roswell preached his own mother's funeral sermon.( Same ref. as above, p. 43.)

    Lucy married John Mears 14 Jan 1761, East Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, United States. John (son of Samuel Mears and Ruth Kilbourne) was born 12 Mar 1735, Springfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, United States; was christened 29 Feb 1736, Springfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, United States; died 11 Dec 1811, Poultney, Rutland, Vermont, United States; was buried , Poultney, Rutland, Vermont, United States.
