Year of Birth

See the attached source (Descendants of Robert Lockwood) for an alternative year of birth: 1682. It also proposes that wife Mary was born in 1686. Given the children's years of birth, their births in the 1680's makes sense.

It could be argued that 1682 would be unrealistic given evidence of Gershom's having paid taxes in 1694/1695 and having built a bridge with his brother across the Myanos River in 1687. (See source, Descendants of Robert Lockwood. Colonial and Revolutionary History.
