   t is important to understand that early researchers had mistakenly misidentified "ye Widdow Elizabeth Wright of Oysterbay" who married Gershom Lockwood as Elizabeth Townsend, daughter of John Townsend of Oyster Bay, and widow of Gideon Wright of Oyster Bay, a cousin of Caleb Wright. However, Harry Macy Jr. demonstrated in his paper, "Three Elizabeth Ludlams of Oyster Bay" (in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 131, No. 2 (April 2000)) that Gideon Wright's widow Elizabeth Townsend remarried in 1686 to Joseph Ludlam of Oyster Bay, who died 16 March 1698/99, about two years after Gershom Lockwood married the Widow Elizabeth Wright, who thus could not be Elizabeth Townsend at all.
