Loretta, Thank you very much for that information. I had the Flax Growers list of 1796 and was aware that Lynd and Lind are interchangeable; but I certainly appreciate the other information and will look up the references. In May, I finally got to Cookstown and to the Derryloran Old Church. There in the Lynd plot I found three stones. The most recent has this inscription: Annie Lynd Rutherford d. 25 March 1876 Isabella Rutherford d. 29 Jan 1903 William Rutherford, J.P. d. 2 Jun 1927. Do you know to whom Annie Lynd Rutherford was married and why her husband was not included in this grave? I presume the other two are her children. Do you know who these people are?

You're welcome, Jim, and I'm sorry I don't know anything about Annie or the other Rutherfords you mention. I'll write you directly about the references.
