Although Robert Lockwood created no surviving records during his residence at Stamford, we place him there from 1646 to 1650 for two reasons. First, he left Watertown at the same time that others of that town, especially Nicholas Knapp, made the move to Stamford. Second, in 1650, when he was already at Fairfield, he sold land in Stamford which had been the proprietary share of the Rev. Richard Denton, who had left Stamford prior to 1646. This land would have been the residence of Robert Lockwood during his sojourn at Stamford.
