I noticed that you didn't have much info on Nathaniel Lynde. He is one of my ancestors too and I thought you might like some info him.

Nathaniel Lynde was born Nov 22nd 1659 and died Oct 5th 1729 and is buried in Old Saybrook, CT. He married Susanna Willoughby (b ca 1664 d July 22nd 1704 age 45) ca 1683? married second Mary Christophers aft 1714(see http://members.aol.com/jbahur/joan.html Generation 11) Nathaniel Lynde was the donor of the orginal house and land to Yale (then called Collegiate College) in 1701 and was its first treasurer. Nathaniel and Susanna had a least 4 children: Elizabeth, Susanna( who died at 4 1/2 months) another Susanna (my 8great grandmother, Apr 11 1700 to 1748), and a son, a judge, Samuel Lynde (Oct 6th 1684 to Sept 19 1754). Well I hope you can use this information.
