George Arnold & Rose Lockwood Moore
Hi Rosanne,
We have noticed some of your postings on Genforum and
Ancestry.com pertaining to the
Lockwood family. Rose Gale Lockwood Moore is a direct decedent of Henry Leroy and Nancy
Jones Lockwood. She is also the granddaughter of Raymond and Lulu Warrick Lockwood and
the daughter of Donald and Mary Porter Lockwood. You and Rose are third cousins (we
think!).
We don’t have a lot of information on either Henry or Nancy. For that matter we don’t have
much information on Goldie or your grandmother Florence. We have several documented
inconsistencies pertaining to Henry’s date of birth. Here they are:
Death Record of Henry LeRoy Lockwood:
Henry LeRoy Lockwood; laborer; aged 55 years, 4 months, and 4 days (estimated date of
birth is October 11, 1863); born in Ohio; parents are unknown; died from heart trouble on
February 15, 1919 at New Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, Michigan; buried
on February 18, 1919 at Riverside Cemetery, Kalamazoo, Michigan; Kalamazoo County,
Michigan Death Records Book 1919, Page #11, Record #6. The grave is located in Lot #56 of
the SW corner of section block MM. It is 5 rows East from section LL going towards the
hospital, and is the 13th grave going North.
According to the gravestone inscription, Henry L. Lockwood was born in 1854 and died in
1919. This birth year is nine years earlier than what the county death records indicate
(1863). However, according to the 1900 U.S. census record, Henry was born in August of
1853 in Ohio. Furthermore, his Kalamazoo Gazette death notice lists him as being age 63
(born ca. 1856).
Here is the limited information we have on Nancy Jones:
