In 1840 this pensioner was living in Clay, at the age of 88, and had been one of the early settlers. He was buried in the Euclid cemetery, but no stone has been reported. Clarke made the age a little more, saying that "In 1800, John Lyme (Lynn) settled near the centre of the town and is now (1847) living at the advanced age of 97 years." He was in the Connecticut service, and may have been the John Lynd of Duanesburg, Albany Co., in 1790. He died March 1, 1848, and the Syracuse Star made his age 101 years, 9 months and 14 days. This is specific, but much in excess of previous records.
