Bathsheba Mabie and her husband, John Lockwood, a farmer in Putnam Valley, lived in Shrub Oak, and raised a family in Peekskill, NY.
The Couch Files identified the father of Bethsheba Mabie as Abraham Mabie of Yorktown, NY. While Page 404 from the unverified book, The Descendants of Robert Lockwood, by F. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, PA 1889, claimed that Bethsheba Maibee was "of Canada" and Abraham, the father of Bethsheba Maibee was "born in France, fought in the American Revolution, married at Yorktown, died leaving landed estates." The unverified Holden and Lockwood book had been criticized for including many errors and misinformation. The ancestry of Abraham Mabie is unproven.
The 1790 Census for Mt. Pleasant Town, Westchester, NY listed an Abraham Mabee as head of a household of one adult male, one male child under age 16, and three females
Records of the Chancery Court Province and State of New York Guardianships 1691-1815 abstracted by Dr. Kenneth Scott Pub. © 1971 by Historical Society of New York provided this information: p.98 Petition 9 Mar 1798 <http://home.att.net/~susgod2/petitionclip.jpg> of Abraham Requa of Yorktown, Westchester Co., farmer, setting forth that Abraham Mabee is a lunatic. His nearest relations are the following: Charlotte Mabee age about 21 (b. ca 1777), Abigail Maibee, age about 19 (b. ca 1779), Barsheba age about 16 (b. ca 1782), his daughters. Abraham Requa is appointed guardian of the lunatic. St. John Constant of York Town, farmer, is surety. The lunatic's wife is deceased.
Our Bathsheba's name is spelled "Bashaba" Lockwood on the 1850 Census of Cortlandt p. 160, where she lived with her 19 year old daughter Sarah, Catherine Connor age 22 from Ireland, and Franklin Barrah, a 30 year old laborer who was born in NY. Bashaba Lockwood's property was valued at $150.
Since our "Bathsheba" Mabie's name is spelled as "Bethsheba Maibee" in the Couch File and in the Lockwood Genealogy, and "Bashaba" in the 1850 Census, it is probable it could also have been spelled Barsheba Mabee.
Bathsheba's husband, John Lockwood, died 3/30/1843 in Yorktown, NY. His children disposed of his property in 1866. Bathsheba went to live with her eldest surviving son, John Ashley Lockwood. Our Bathsheba died at 88 years of age. Although we do not know Bathsheba's dates of birth or death, her life appears consistant with a possible birth date of 1782.
