Notes	From Diana (Eaton) Butcher, correspondent, note of September 23rd, 2006 The Eaton book has been proven to have errors, and especially pertaining to Lydia's parentage, since she also is listed in this book, separately, going back to the same progenitor-Wm. Eaton of Staple, Kent Co., England, Watertown, and later, Reading, MA. Lydia and Nathan resided in Wakefield, which was South Reading, Middlesex Co., MA. Nathan resided, according to various records, in Malden during the Am. Rev. War. And that is why I thought that the Eaton genealogy was accurate. I went around for years and years trying to find a first marriage for Lydia to a Lynde, since Nathan served from Malden. I believe that James is correct. But, I still want to obtain a birth cert. or photocopy of the Malden VR showing Lydia's parentage. I did see it decades ago. I've also seen a notation somewhere that this family lived in Pepperell, Middlesex County but I've never found any proof, and have doubts. NOTE: There are many errors widely published on the LDS Website and in such respected works as "The Ralph Sprague Genealogy." relative to the Sprague/Lynde marriages. Research to resolve these errors is ongoing. The ancestry of Joseph Lynde, though differing from the above mentioned sources, is well substantiated by the research of professional genealogist, James K. Raywalt.
