My maternal great grandfather's name is Sam Lynd born 05/17/1880 & my maternal great grandmother's name is Emma Musser. William, John, & Sammuel McCoy born in Ireland & arrived in America between 1783-1810.

My maternal grandmother is Dora Lee Lynd. She was born in Lawrence county KY on 05/27/1880. She died in Portsmouth OH on 11/14/52 & is buried in the Old Wheelersburg Cemetery, Scioto County OH. My Mother, Lyda McCoy Blakeman (Dora Lynd McCoy's daughter) had wrote the directions to her grave since GrandMa Lynd McCoy had no monument....just a rock which disappeared over the years. I would like to trace my Grandparents ancestors. Dora Lee Lynd was married to Marion Tilden McCoy. Some had told me GrandMa McCoy's maiden name was spelled Lynn, but it appears to be Lynd.

Brenda,
If you are still out there; James and Margaret Lynd are my gg grandparents. James was born in New York and Margaret in Ireland. One of those many sons was William Augustus Lynd and he was my great grandfather. He married Nettie Smart and their daughter was my grandmother, another Margaret who in turn married Thomas Lovelace. Have information on the brothers, John, James, Andrew, Alex, William, Robert and Sam. There was also as you stated a lone daughter named Margaret. The older children were born in Canada before the family moved to Sanilac County, Michigan. I would loved to exchange inforamtion with you as it is obvious that we are related on some level.
Look forward to reply, Lynda

lakemba1 — 2008-09-12 19:02:43Z

Brenda- you've mentioned Kevan's book several times but I'm unable to contact you. Please get in touch as we are related through Andrew Lynd of Knockaduff.

Re: Early Lynd records

lakemba1 — 2008-08-22 21:19:32Z

James and Margaret (Lynd) Lynd lived in Marlette, Sanilac, Michigan. Would still be interested in details from family history that you've mentioned several times before (written by Kevan?).

Re: Early Lynd records

bstark1946 — 2008-08-16 20:29:24Z

My great grandfather was James Lynd born in New York and Son of John & Mary Lynd. Whose ancestors were from Scotland
He married Margaret Lynd who was from Ireland in 1852. They went to Canada and had their children there, John,James,William,Alexander,Andrew,Robert and Samuel. One daughter Margaret (Maggie) who died young. As did James and Margaret in 1875 & 1879 in Michigan.
I would love to have any records you have of the Lynd family and any information you would be willing to give me.
It is amazing how much I have learned in such a short time and how many "relatives" I have discovered in my search.
Thank you in advance.

Hello, My maiden name is Lynd and my grandfather was born in Co Londonderry but the family moved to Antrim just before 1900. Do you know if any of your local Lynds are related to a Hugh Lynd who died in 1898 and lived at Tamlaghtmore? Hugh would be my great great grandfather.I think his grandson Robert took over farming there, after his grandfather died, and his son Thomas was farming at Moneyquiggy Ballynascreen Co Londonderry..

Looking for any information: My Grandfathe was Harold Lynd, I have some info that he was born in Wisconsin. Some oral history that he was premature and they kept him in a cigar box next to the stove to keep him warm as a infant. The family name was changed from some Swedish as they did not like the way it was pronounced here in the states. He was a WWII Vet that served in Europe, recieved the purple heart. He died 1949 in Chicago. He had a brother(Paul)who had 3 children, and a relative only known to me as L. B. Lynd that lived in Hammond Indiana as late as the 1920's. His Mother lived in Harbert Michigan at that time. He also had a sister (Korin Rapp) that lived Britt Ia. as late as 1949.
If any of this rings a bell please reply. colhackett@yahoo.com

johnlynd67 — 2008-05-12 13:51:18Z

Just yesterday I was going over some of this with my Mother. I found out that Harold (MY grand father)had a brother Paul and a sister Korhin. At this time I'm only guessing that Melvin was their Father. There was a name change that occured at some time as the family didn't like the way it was pronounced here in the states. Does any of this sound familular.

Thank You

I would like more information on the Lynd Family of Southern Ohio. I am connected thru John Lynd (1783)/John Pancake Lynd/Virgina Ann Lynd. She married John Roy in 1870.
I am very interested in her son, James McHenry Roy. Do you still have the family website?

Re: Lynds from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland

lakemba1 — 2008-03-03 00:02:30Z

Family story tells of Andrew Lynd being one of seven sons whose parents died when the children were young. It is most likely they came from Gortin in Aghadowey parish originally. Andrew married Margaret Perry of Scalty and settled at Knockaduff.
Their daughter, Margaret Lynd of Knockaduff went to Ontario, Canada with her brothers and eventually they all moved to Michigan, U.S. She married a Lynd born in New York and had children.
Thomas Lynd (grandson of Andrew & Margaret of Knockaduff, Aghadowey) moved across the Bann to Ballybrakes, Antrim and then after a few years the family went to live in Moosomin, Sask.

There were also Lynds in Cookstown area but suspect they are not connected.

Re: Lynds from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland

jmlynd — 2007-11-25 19:57:54Z

Thank you for your post. Is Knockaduff south of Coleraine and west of Ballymoney? That's where Google says there is a Knockaduff Road. What you say is starting to look interesting. There are Lynds in Moosomin, Saskatchewan.

Re: Lynds from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland

JenniferCunningham395 — 2007-11-24 23:47:04Z

I too live in Knockaduff. Some Lynds still live here. Also my great aunt Annie Morton married a Robert Lynd. Same family but they came from Ballybrakes near Ballymoney and then emigrated to Canada. Regina?

Re: Lynds from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland

JenniferCunningham395 — 2007-11-16 22:23:19Z

I live in Knockaduff. The Lynd family are our neighbours. Although they have been here for a few generations these Lynds originally came from Ballybrakes, outside Ballymoney Co. Antrim. A member of this family married my great aunt Annie Morton and they lived in Canada. My e-mailis Callmejennie@hotmail.com

I am also researching the Lynd family from Lawrence co. Oh. I can only get as far back as my great grandparents, William H. Lynd and Flora L. Lynd. They had a daughter by the the name of Grace, my grandmother. She had a son, orville Lynd Bartram, my father. But that's all I seem to find. Can anyone help me out?? Thanks in advance. Rhonda

Brenda,
What was your GGgrandmother Margaret's maiden name? You say she came here from Ireland. Where is "here"? Do you know where in Ireland Margaret and/or James came from?
Alas, I don't think your information connects with anything I have found.
Thanks for writing, anyway!

I am transcribing the Evergreen Cemetary in Ontario, Malheur Co., Oregon and thought I would post pictures of the Pre-1900 headstones for those interested in having them. This is a very large cemetary, there is a possibility there could be other family members buried here after this time period. If you are interested in them, I can look for them specifically.

I'm researching the Lynd family from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. I'm descended from Adam, who emigrated from Cookstown to Ontario, Canada around 1833. Any information will be gratefully received and I will share what I have. Many thanks.

xxb1caez01 — 2007-02-12 07:23:12Z

Please take a look at the following web site...if you can connect to the Lynde mentioned there, then we are connected.
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:225877...

The referenced Lucy Lynde is my 7xggm...her daughter Polly [Mary] Smith,
md Solomon Thompson, of Hellier, PEC. Their children removed to
Beaverton, Murray Cty., Niagara Peninsula. Her husband, Nathaniel Smith
would be my 7xggf... I have no information on the Smith line past
Nathanial, and only what is available at this site on Lucy.

I know that there is a connection, because of the Colonial naming
pattern, and the repeated names among children and grandchildren.

Research has shown that a Lynde, who possibly may have been closely
related to Lucy Lynde, lived in the area of Whitby, Ontario, Canada. I
suspect it to be a very close relative who convinced Solomon and Polly
to remove from French Creek area of NYS and take up farming in Prince
Edward County, of Ontario, just south of Whitby. It is suspected that
they lived in the French Creek area of a few years following the
revolution. Upon his discharge, about 1797-8, Solomon and Polly packed
up and left Brimfield, MA, and headed west. Then they removed to a lot
in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.

A brief summary of my Thompson family connection is to be found at this
URL [note no genealogy is there, just a summary of the who's and
where's].
http://www.genealogy.com/users/r/m/x/B1caez01-Rmxuzz37/?Welc...

I am a direct blood descendant of Solomon and Polly Smith-Lynde
Thompson, stretching back to the era of the Winthrop Fleet, landing in
or around Salem, in or about 1632-ish. The Thompsons have been fully
researched. I now would like to do my Lynde and Smith sides of the family.

So, I am desperate to contact any "relations" of both these Lynde and
Smith lines. Lucy may have been the ward of Samuel Lynde rather than a
natural child, but still a Lynde, as intimated in some of Ruth Allaire's
reporting...this is most likely the reason for the names
Lynd/Lynde/Lyndes/ and Lund are involved with her name.

If you are connected please contact me directly, not on line. I share
info one-on-one only.

1. If you know of any other Lynde researchers of the line below, please let me know and forward them a copy of this letter.
2. If you have the addresses of those on rootsweb whose old address no longer works, but for whom you have a new address, would you please forward this note to them, if you have that new address...
4. If you know of the contact person's details, re: the Lynde book, please forward this note to them, and their contact particulars back to me.

To repeat: please visit my connection at: Ruth Allaire's site: see entry below...
