East Kill Valley Genealogy
The people buried in the East Jewett graveyard were, with a few exceptions, residents of the Town of Jewett, New York, and nearby communities during all or part of their lives. They were the pioneers and sons and daughters of pioneers who settled in the East Kill Valley in the 1790’s and early 1800’s and whose descendants are now scattered throughout the length and breadth of our land.
The larger graveyard is at the rear of the Methodist Church, on land given for the purpose by Lemuel and Lydia Woodworth in 1835; the small, older one is in a farm field about a mile west of the church. In this record, the arrangement of names is by the position of the gravestones, the Roman numerals designating more or less regular rows of stones, the Arabic numerals the individual graves in each row. Names in the older cemetery have the letters O. C. and one number.
Unless otherwise indicated all places mentioned are in New York State.

b. 1799 prob. Schoharie Co. d. 4 Jul. 1882, Pittsfield, Mass. Aged 82 yrs. 9 mos. 11da.

(Additional Information: From Patricia Morrow - Windham Town Historian:
Luther died in Windham on 17 Mar 1880, his death being reported
in the 18 Mar 1880 issue of The Windham Journal, a day before he supposedly
died.
Luther's first wife, Lucy Hosford, died in East Jewett of billious dysentery on
21 Nov 1870 at the age of 57 years, 6 months and 20 days, a year previous to the
date carved on her gravestone.
Luther married Margaret Fisher at East Jewett on 24 Nov 1875. So far I've been
unable to locate a death notice for Margaret, although she apparently died
before the 1880 census was taken.)

This stone replaced an old broken, eroded one.

XII 13 MILO LOCKWOOD
b. 29 Feb. 1840 d. 16 Jul 1899
Son of Henry and Mary (Brooks) Lockwood, probably a descendant of Timothy Lockwood who came from Dutchess Co. in 1797 and settled in upper East Kill Valley on the Treat and McLean Patent, which included what is now the Tri-Mount Boy Scout Camp property. After five years he returned to Dutchess Co. but later came back to East Jewett, where he remained about fifteen years, then moved to Mentz, Cayuga Co. Since an old map of about 1825 shows a James Lockwood owner of a 200 acre section of the Patent, and since Henry Lockwood and his descendants lived there until the property was sold to the Boy Scout Camp Organization, it seems likely that James was a son of Timothy, Henry a son or possibly a brother of James.
The children of Henry b. 1810 and Mary (Brooks) Lockwood b. 1813 were:

O. C. 1 MATTHEW WINTER b. 21 Aug. 1773 d. 3 Mar. 1844
2 Anna (Woodworth) his wife b. 13, Aug. 1780, d. 24 Feb. 1841
3 In Memory of Reuben, son of Matthew and Anna Winter who d. 1 Sep. 1827, aged 21 yrs. 11 mo. 11d.
Matthew was the son of Moses (?) Winter and brother of Lydia (IV 1), Rogers (XII 1), David, and George, who in 1800 were living in the old town of Bristol in Schoharie Co. or possibly in the town of Rensselaerville just over the Albany Co. line. On 27 May 1795, he m. Anna, sister of Lemuel Woodworth, Jr., his sister Lydia’s husband, and the two couples each with their three eldest children moved into Greene Co. and settled in the East Kill Valley in 1806.
Matthew and Anna’s children were:
(1) Daniel b. 1796 of whom nothing is known
(2) Elizabeth b., 1797, who m. Stephen Mead (VII 6);
(7) Anna b. 1808, who m. Aaron Wolcott, d. in Ohio;
Lemuel’s (IV 4) brother, whose first wife was the dau. of Peter Barber
by whom he had
Edgar b. 5 Au. 1829)
and had dau. Anne, moved to Cattaraugus Co., later to Illinois;
(9) Moses (VI 1);
(10) Nancy b. 1815 who m. David Loop, lived in Cattaraugus Co., had Charlotte, Mary and David;
Harriet Lord and had Emily,
Adeline, Lydia I. who d. 15 Feb. 1851, Hensonville, aged
4 yrs. 1 mo. 11 d.,
Luella, Adna (?), and Matthew Henry.
According to family tradition Matthew’s and Lydia’s parents and brother George settled in East Jewett in a cabin next to the others, but there is no evidence they remained. They are not mentioned in family records, 1810 census does not account for them anywhere in Greene Co., the numbers in the households of Matthew, Lydia, and Rogers are known and could not have included the parents and brother in 1810.
In the late 1800’s George I. b. Dutchess Co d. 29 May 1883, town of Windham, son of George I. Winter b. Otsego Co. and Emma Ferris Frayer, town of Windham, was a blacksmith and merchant in Big Hollow (now Maplecrest). George I, Sr. may well have been Matthew’s brother, and the David Winter living in the old town of Windham in 1810 and in 1830 probably was also.
The will of John Winter (s) of Greenville, recorded in Catskill 23 Jan. 1828, names children Martha, Mary Kezia, Anna Mariah and Matthew, executor.
The first Dutchess Co. census (1790) states that a Matthew Winter was head of a family in town of Fishkill consisting of two males over 16, one male under 16, and three females; and there was a second Matthew

Winter listed in that census. A Moses Winter served in the Revolution from Dutchess Co.
