About Elizabeth Lynde

Note: This branch up from John Barrett b. 1704 is somewhat speculative in that I (as well as some others who appear responsible) have made a bit of a best guess that the wife of that John was Dorothy Lynde. Even though she was as much as 12 years older than him.

Great Migration Begins says: (Some sources suggest that the wife of this Thomas was Elizabeth Tufts, but no evidence for this has been found. This proposed identification may have arisen through confusion deriving from the marriages of Joseph Lynde, son of Thomas Lynde, to Elizabeth Tufts, daughter of Peter Tufts, and of Peter Tufts, son of Peter Tufts, to Elizabeth Lynde, daughter of Thomas Lynde [Wyman 638; NEHGR 51:299-300].).

Based upon her given age at death, Elizabeth was born circa 1612, probably in England.

DEATH Elizabeth died in Malden, Middlesex co., MA on 2 September 1693; she was 81. Her death record notes that she was the "wf. of [Ensign] Thomas [81 y.]."

MARRIAGE Sometime before the birth of their first child in 1647 when Elizabeth was 35, she married Ensign Thomas LYNDE, son of Deacon thomas LYNDE & Mary [SURNAME NOT KNOWN] (sic, I am going with Elizabeth Tufts for now) in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA.
