BIRTH John was born in 1648 in Malden, Middlesex co., MA.
DEATH He died there on 17 September 1732; he was 84[20]. His death record, however, reads "Capt. John, abt. 75 y.".
ESTATE In 1706, one Jonathan Sargent, "in behalf of Capt. Lynde's children" sold Thomas Pierce's rights in the estate willed to him by his father Samuel Pierce to John Pierce. The estate was occupied by John Pierce, anyway. Also sold was the "right in S. Pierce estate"[21]. In 1724/5, Mary Pierce Lynde's heirs -- her sons John & Thomas Lynde; her daughter Elizabeth Lynde Waite, widow of Nathaniel Waite of Malden, Middlesex co., MA; her daughter and son-in-law Abigail & Jonathan Waite of Lynn, Essex co., MA; and grandchildren Jonathan & Phineas Sargent (sons of Mary Lynde Sargent, apparently deceased) -- gave a general quitclaim of all rights in the Jonathan Pierce estate[21]. In 1734, this same group of heirs deeded or sold to James Pierce the "widow's thirds" of 2 acres & 20 poles of land, which had previously belonged to Thomas Pierce[21].
MARRIAGE #1 Sometime circa 1672-1678 when John was 24, he first married Mary PIERCE, daughter of Samuel PIERCE & Mary [surname not known], in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA[1,18,22,23,24,25,26,27,28].

CHILDREN 13. i. Mary LYNDE Mary was born on 5 July 1678. On 13 March 1700 when Mary was 21, she married Jonathan SARGEANT, in Malden, Middlesex co., MA by The Reverend Michael Wigglesworth [42]. They had two children, Jonathan & Phineas, who were named in the quitclaim over her mother's estate. Mary was not named in the suit and so must have died before 1724/5.
14. ii. Elizabeth LYNDE Elizabeth married Nathaniel WAITE, son of Family of Captain John WAITE & Mary HILLS.
15. iii. John LYNDE John lived in Leicester, Worcester co., MA[21].
16. iv. Thomas LYNDE Thomas was born on 24 October 1685 in Malden, Middlesex co., MA[39].

MARRIAGE #2 On 25 August 1691 when John was 43, he second married Elizabeth HILLS, in Malden, Middlesex co., MA[1,31,32,33,34,35]. Elizabeth died on 29 January 1698/9 in Malden, Middlesex co., MA as "Elizabeth, wf. of John [38 y.]"[11].
