  Notes	From Diana (Eaton) Butcher, correspondent, note ofSeptember 23rd, 2006      The Eaton book has been proven tohave errors, and especially pertaining to Lydia'sparentage, since she also is listed in this book,separately, going back to the same progenitor-Wm. Eaton ofStaple, Kent Co., England, Watertown, and later, Reading,MA.  Lydia and Nathan resided in Wakefield, which wasSouth 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 Eatongenealogy was accurate.  I went around for years andyears trying to find a first marriage for Lydia to a Lynde,since Nathan served from Malden.  I believe that Jamesis correct.  But, I still want to obtain a birth cert.or photocopy of the Malden VR showing Lydia'sparentage.  I did see it decades ago.  I've alsoseen a notation somewhere that this family lived inPepperell, Middlesex County but I've never found any proof,and have doubts. NOTE: There are many errors widely published on the LDSWebsite and in such respected works as "The Ralph SpragueGenealogy." relative to the Sprague/Lynde marriages. Research to resolve these errors is ongoing.  Theancestry of Joseph Lynde, though differing from the abovementioned sources, is well substantiated by the research ofprofessional genealogist, James K. Raywalt.
