| Census | He appeared on the census of 1891 in Whitby Twp., Ontario County, Ontario, Canada. |
| Death* | He died on 2 March 1912 at age 86; Chas. Lynde Dies: Whitby lost one of its oldest and best known residents on Saturday in the death of Mr. Charles Lynde, at his farm, Mount Pleasant. M r. Lynde was in his 86th year, and had been ailing for sometime, and his death was not wholly unexpected.
Mr. Lynde's father, the late Sylvester Lynde, who died in 1883, was the first white child born in Ontario county, the date being 1800. The great-grandfather and grandfather of Mr. Lynde settled in what is now Whitby in the year 1880, coming to Canada together from New York State.
Mr. Sylvester Lynde during the American War, when 19 years of age, carried dispatches on horseback through the forest from Pickering to Bowmanville.
When his grandfather, Jabez Lynde, was a young man, the surrounding county was covered with virgin forests, and he one day jokingly made an agreement with Nicholas Jeffrey, his neighbour, whereby the Lynde family were to be allowed access to wood by the Jeffrey family as long as grass grew and water ran. The unlooked for growth of Whitby and the disappearance of the forest lands caused this agreement to since become void.
Mr. Lynde , who was perhaps better known as "Charlie Lynde", was famouns as a breeder of throughbred race horses. The old Whitby race course was situated on his farm, and where he in the seventies, won the Queen's Plate with his horse, Jock Bell, bred by Nelson Gates. One of the greatest horses which he raised was Bell Tau, a grandaughter of Longfellow, which sold for $9,000. This horse was a notable winner in the eighties, and was the favourite the year she was entered for the Brooklyn Handicap. Unfortunately however, the horse met with an accident while training for the greater event and broke its neck.
Mr.Lynde was a life-long Liberal and a member of the Presbyterian church.
The deceased leaves a family of seven sons and three daughters. Three brothers are now living - Messers S. B. Lynde, 19 Sparkhall Ave., Toronto; R. J. Lynde, Toronto Junction, and Fred W. Lynde, Whitby. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to Union Cemetery. Rev. Mr. Haig, pastor of tne Brooklin and Columbus Presbyterian churches, conducted the funeral service.

| Birth* | Jabez Lynde was born on 12 February 1773 in Brookfield, Massachusetts, United States. |

| Marriage* | Jabez Lynde married Clarissa Clary Woodruff, daughter of Hawkins Harvey Woodruff and Lois Hills, in 1796 in Winchester Centre, Connecticut, United States. |
| Residence* | Jabez Lynde lived in Whitby, Ontario County, Ontario, Canada; Over the years the Jabez Lynde House, considered the oldest house in Whitby, has been in several locations, including Cullen Gardens. It is now part of the Whitby Heritage Museum. |
| Fact 1* | The Jabez Lynde house was visited by General Issac Brock before the start of the War of 1812 - 1814. Here is Clarissa Lynde Warren's account of the visit.
"For some time before the declaration of war by the United States, there were rumors of impending hostilities. At this stage, General Brock, westward bound, drove up at the house of Mr. Lynde, on Lynde's Creek and desired immediate conveyance to Toronto. He and his aide-de-camp were clad in long plaid coats lined with fur. The suavity of the commander-in-chief was manifest even in the wayside log inn, and won the heart of the little Canadian girl of the house, who for four score years has not ceased to sorrow for his untimely end. Col. Drummond, his companion, paced the floor. 'The King's business required haste.' Mr. Jabez Lynde, a horseman of no mean skill, drove over the snow, through the serpentine forest road down and up the dangerous Rouge Hills, and entered in three hours and five minutes later, the yard of the Government House, Toronto." |
| Death* | He died in 1856. |
