In 1716, a marraige took place between Richard Lockwood junior (1693 - 1777) of Castlelake and Cashel in Co. Tipperary, and a Miss Elizabeth Bunbury (d. 1787). (2) It is assumed she was the sister of William Bunbury II and Thomas Bunbury of Kill, although she must have been very young at the time of this wedding.

Richard was the son of Richard Lockwood (1670-1735) by his marriage to Lucy Wansbrough, who was herself one of eleven children born to Robert Wansbrough (1630-1690) and Sara Hayter. According to a letter written from Lucy's brother James to her sister Ann (by now Mrs. Thomas Sheppard and living in the USA), Lucy married her steward and clerk, a very rich man by name of Richard Lockwood. She appears to have been previously married, circa 1683, to Cornel Buckworth who died circa 1690, possibly during the Jacobite Wars. Lucy died in childbirth in 1698 while Richard Lockwood Senior was buried in Cashel on 16 March 1735. Given that Mary Bunbury, wife of Benjamin Bunbury of Killerig, was previously married to a Matthew Sheppard, this suggests a close and ongoing link with the Sheppard / Shepherd family. They may have been related to Thomas Shepherd (d. 1671), a devout Baptist and a Captain in Cromwell's New Model Army, who settled at Castle John in County Tipperary in the 1650s.

Richard Lockwood junior was a wealthy farmer and brewer. There is a old distillery at Castle Lake today, although Roger Carden-Depper could not find trace of any owners prior to the Matthews family who ran it during the 1800s. With such proximity to Cashel, it comes as little surprise that the land was formerly owned by the Dukes of Ormonde. Roger subsequently unearthed a document in the Registry of Deeds in Dublin, dated 2nd May 1751, which referred to the lease of 240 acres and a house at Archerstown by Samuel Hughes for the lifetimes of Richard Lockwood, Elizabeth (wife) and Richard (son). The document referred to an earlier indented deed of lease from 1746 between Samuel Hughes and Richard Lockwood - 'To hold Simon Hughes for the lives of Richard Lockwood, Elizabeth Lockwood (wife to Richard Lockwood), and William Bunbury of Lisnevagh (brother to Elizabeth), pay yearly rent'. (3) In 1756, a marriage was arranged between Richard Lockwood the younger and Miss Elizabeth Carden.

Lucy married Richard LOCKWOOD. (Richard LOCKWOOD was born in 1670 and died on 31 Mar 1735 in Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland.)

Lucy next married Cornet / Col. BUCKWORTH. (Cornet / Col. BUCKWORTH died before 1693.)
