Biography
i. Samuel Lynde, an opulent merchant of Boston and a Justice for Suffolk, Samuel was the son of Simon Lynde and Hannah Newdigate. He was born Dec. 1, 1653, into a prominent Boston family with diverse holdings in the New Colonies, as well as being shipping merchants.
Samuel married Mary Ballard, daughter of Jarvis Ballard, Oct. 1674. He was age 21 and Mary age 17.; and had, beside several children who died in infancy, a daughter Mary who married John Valentine Esq., an eminent pleader-at-law, and Advocate-General, in the Provinces, had several children, and died in 1732; secondly, Mary Brick; and, thirdly, Mary Anna Bendall "widow of Dr. [Daniel] Allen," who survived her Lynde husband, dying in 1727. Samuel Lynde died October 2, 1721.
Samuel followed in the family business and became a prominent merchant and a Justice in Boston.
After the death of his father in 1687, Samuel inherited more wealth which included the Sun Tavern, in Fanueil Hall Square, as is recorded in the Boston Book of Possessions.
In 1691, at age 38, Samuel became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery, as was his father Simon (Symon)before him. He was chosen Assessor in Boston July 16, 1694.
In March of 1698, he was one of a group of men to plan a new highway and became Overseer of the Poor.
According to the Baxter Manuscripts and Portsmouth Peace Treaty 1713, Samuel was part of the Council of Gov. Dudley of MA and NH Councils that met at Portsmouth, at the Castle on the Great Island with the Sachems of Indigenous Tribes to procure a peace treaty. He and his brother Benjamin were both there and signed their names to the Treaty.
During his lifetime, Samuel gave some of his Freetown, MA property to the church for a meeting house and burial ground.
He was a member of the First Church of Boston. He is buried in the Lyde Family Tomb in Granary Cemetery in Boston, as put forth in the Lynde Diaries and the family Bible passed from Elizabeth Digby Lynde, his grandmother to Simon, his father and then to Samuel. Samuel passed it on to his brother Justice Benjamin Lynde, and it was passed down through his family.
From Mrs. Frances Erving (Valentine) Weston of Boston: " Simon Lynde's eldest son Samuel was my great great great grand- father. Little has been known of him, and but little have I been able to glean after long and tedious work; although, by the trust placed in him by his fellow-townsmen it is evident that he was a man of sterling worth, with rare judgment, as he was prominent in all changes to be made in town-affairs."
