Surname Saturday ~ LYNDE of Charlestown, Massachusetts

LYNDE


Thomas Lynde was from Dunstable in the county of Bedfordshire in England.  He arrived in Massachusetts on the ship Griffin, along with his pregnant third wife and two sons.  The ship arrived in Boston on 18 September 1634, and the Lynde family settled in Charlestown, just across the harbor.  He was made a freeman on 4 March 1635 and was a representative to the General Court in 1636, 1637, 1646 and several more years.  He was also a selectman and deacon of the First Church in Malden.

I descend from two of Thomas Lynde’s daughters by his first wife, Elizabeth.  You can read more about Thomas Lynde in the book The Great Migration, by Robert Charles Anderson, Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2005, Volume IV, pages 369 – 378.
