About Mary Garnsey
Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lockwood-1955
Mary Lockwood, daughter of Edmund and Hannah (Scott) Lockwood of Stamford, was probably born between about 1664 and 1674, based on her date of marriage. She was named first among the daughters of Edmund in an inventory of his estate,[1][2] and first among sisters by her brother Edmund in his last will.[3]
Mary married Joseph Garnsey, son of Joseph and Rose (Porter) Garnsey, on 2 March 1692/3 in Stamford.[4][5]
On 13 February 1706/7, a distribution of the estate of Edmund Lockwood was made to his children, including a share to Mary Garnsey.[6]
On 3 January 1707 [whether '1706/7 or '07/8 is not clear], Joseph and Mary Garnsey sold to Edmund Lockwood "our share of our father, Edman Lockwood, deceased."[7]
On 18 November 1709, inventory of the estate of Joseph Garnsey was taken in Stamford by Elisha Holly, John Knap and Edmon Lockwood. Attached to the inventory is a list of Joseph and Mary's children: Mary, age 16 years, Joseph, 14 years, John, 12, Moses, [must be clerk's error for Rose] 10, Jonathan, 8, Hannah 7, Deborah 5, and Susannah 2 years.[8]
The inventory was sworn by widow Mary on 29 January 1716/17 at Fairfield. Mary was appointed guardian of her daughters Deborah and Susannah, and chosen guardian by her children John, Jonathan and Hannah.[8] Their daughter Rose was living and under age 21, but not mentioned in the guardianships.[9]
By his last will, executed on 8 January 1739/40, Mary's brother Edmund Lockwood bequeathed £500 to his sister Mary Garnsey.[3]
No further record of Mary has been noticed.

Research Notes
Secondary Source Errors
One of the bigger atrocious blunders in the Descendants of Robert Lockwood, by Holden and Lockwood, affects Joseph and Mary (Lockwood) Garnsey: the authors conflated the children of Edmund and Hannah (Scott) Lockwood with the children of Ephraim and Mercy (St. John) Lockwood, apparently because they assumed, without cause, that Edmund Lockwood IV was Ephraim and Mercy's son, and so they added his siblings, as named in his last will, to the Ephraim and Mercy Lockwood family.[16] Ephraim Lockwood's probate record clearly shows that he didn't have a son named Edmund and he didn't have a daughter named Mary.
The St. John Genealogy, which is, for the most part, a more serious effort than the Lockwood book, unfortunately simply blindly cites the Lockwood book in this case, and repeats its errors in its profile of Ephraim and Mercy (St. John) Lockwood.[17]
Both of these books must be considered discredited as authorities for the both the Ephraim and Mercy Lockwood family and for Ephraim's rather distant cousin Mary (Lockwood) Garnsey.

- In their profile of Joseph Garnsey, Card and Guernsey assert, on page 536, that Susannah was born in April 1706, without citing the source of their knowledge. On their profile of Susannah, page 577, they assert she was baptized on 16 August 1706. citing "Ch.r.," and that she died on 20 September 1752, citing "Cong. Ch.r." Records of the Congregational Church of Stamford were not kept separately from the Town's records until 1746, and deaths were not recorded there until 1788, so where Card and Guernsey cite "Ch.r.," we might expect they were referring to the Town records in which the earliest church records were comingled, but Neither Susanna's birth, baptism or death are recorded in the Barbour Index, which is supposed to include vital statistics culled from town records. This leaves us with no real insight into where the compilers found the records of Susannah's birth, baptism and death. We do know that Susanna was recorded as age 2 in the inventory of her father's estate in November 1709, and that on 2[-] September 1752, common land was "laid out to Susannah Garnsey, alias Weed, of Stamford, dec., being part of the right of Joseph Garnsey, dec., according to his list of estate 1687," for which Card and Guernsey cite Stamford Land Records, page G:223.
