"SHE LIVED IN ANOTHER AGE
MRS SECOR, WHO TALKS OF REVOLUTION
HAS RELATIVES IN PARKERSBURG
"The following article appeared in the St. Louis Republic and will be of great interest in this city as Mrs Elizabeth Ann Lockwood Secor is a great, great aunt of Mrs John Dana of Belpre, Miss Blanch Lockwood and Mr. W. C. Lockwood of this city.
"From 1778 to 1909 is the time covered by two human lives, one a man who fought in the army of George Washington, and lived to tell the story of victories won and battles lost to the daughter now a great-grandmother, who to this day recounts the stories - almost first hand - of the American Revolution.
"On a farm "Walnut Grove," near Carrollton, Ill., lives Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Lockwood Secor, now in her ninety-first year. She is one of the very few "real daughters" honored members of the American Revolution. Mrs. Secor's credentials are based on unquestioned family records and on the records of the war department at Washington. The family records show that Mrs. Secor was born in Belmont county, Ohio, about twelve miles below Wheeling, W.Va., July 26, 1818. Her father was Judge David Lockwood, for many years a resident of that place, who served in both army and navy, on the side of the colonies, during the war of the American Revolution.
"David Lockwood was born in Connecticut, March 16, 1762, but in early life was taken by his parents to North Salem, N.Y. The government records at Washington show that he enlisted in April 1778 as a private when 16 years old, from North Salem, N.Y., under Captain Drake in the regiment of Colonel Morris Graham. The enlistment was for nine months, at the end of which time he was honorably discharged. On March 11, 1780, he enlisted as a marine in the navy under Captain James Nicholson and served nine months, first on the ship Trumbull. In June 1780, his ship engaged in battle with the British ship, Watts. Subsequently, while serving on the privateer Morning Star, Captain Addison, he with other, was captured by the Madair, and all were imprisoned for ten months at Charleston, South Carolina.
"After the close of the war, he moved with his parents to Washington. April 5, 1792 he married Rebecca Thomas. Soon thereafter, the young couple settled in Dillies Bottom, one of those large fertile tracts on the Ohio River bottom in Belmont county, Ohio. Here they established their home and raised a family of seven sons and six daughters.
"In 1832, when he was seventy years old, the United States government granted him a pension for his services in the Revolutionary War, which was regularly paid him until his death in November 1840. Afterwards, a pension was paid to his widow until her death in 1853.
"Mrs. Secor, now ninety-one years old is the youngest daughter and only living child of these worthy patriots. She grew to woman's estate in her Father's home, where on December 2, 1842 (she married Elijah SECOR), and soon thereafter went with him to his father's home in the then far West, Green county, Illinois, where the elder Secor, with his family had settled in 1833. Here Mr. and Mrs. Secor for almost fifty-four years labored faithfully together and met well all the requirements and obligations of American citizenship.
"Since the death of the husband, in May 1895, Mrs. Secor has made her home with her children. She raised to manhood's estate and educated six of the eight children born to her, four of whom are now living. --- She makes her home with her youngest son, a farmer in Greene county, and enjoys the very frequent visits of her other son, a St. Louis lawyer, and her two daughters, one living in Olathe, Kansas, and the other at Marshall, Mo.
"Mrs. Secor's membership in the organization of the Daughters of the American Revolution is in the Lady Stirling Chapter, of Seattle, Wash., where it was placed at the earnest solicitation of her grand-niece, who is one of the active members of that chapter." ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC (1909).
