Biography

Lydia (Buckland) Lord was born about 1637 in Hingham, Plymouth Colony, daughter of William Buckland (~1609 - 1683) and Mary (Bosworth) Buckland (~1611 - 1687).^[1] Estimates of 1650 would be too late as she was already had her first child in 1661.

Lydia's father, William Buckland, removed from Hingham, Massachusetts, where he had originally settled, to Rehoboth by 1656.

She married four times and had children with the first two husbands.^[2]

Lydia married as his second wife,John Brown^[3][2] (1630 - 1662) on 5 Nov 1659 in Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts. John had a total of five children. It is uncertain if Joseph was from his first wife or from Lydia. John and Lydia had Nathaniel in 1661.^[4]

1. Joseph Brown (1658 - 1731)
2. Nathaniel Brown (1661 - 1739).^[4]

Lydia married William Lord (~1618 - 1678) on 3 Jun 1664 in Lyme, CT.^[2] Their children were:^[2]

1. Benjamin Lord (1666 - 1713)
2. Ensign James Lord (1668 - 1730)
3. Samuel Lord (~1672 - 1701)
4. Daniel Lord (~1673 - 1754)
5. Hannah (Lord) Hodgkin (~1675 - 1727)
6. Elizabeth (Lord) Smith (~1676 - 1736).

Clarke has a rather different list of children (and different order of birth):^[3]

1. Sarah
2. Abigail
3. Benjamin
4. Dorothy
5. Daniel
6. James
7. Samuel

WIlliam died in 1678. Lydia later married Thomas Dunk (~1648 - 1683) on 1 Oct 1678 in Saybrook, CT.

Lydia married Abraham Post (<1640 - <1691) in Mar 1685 in Rehoboth.^[2] as his 2nd wife, after the death of Abraham's first wife in March 1683/4. ^[5] Their daughter was Hester Post (1672 - 1673).

Lydia died about 9 Sep 1699 in Saybrook aged ~62.^[2]

Research Notes

Contradictory information is found about this person, birth between 1613 and 1632, birth in England, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Do not merge this profile with this Lydia Buckland until these conflicts are resolved. Lydia, the daughter of William Buckland is mentioned in the The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-33 as having married, "about 1655, John Brown, Jr." No birth date or place is indicated. It seems there were possibly two William Bucklands. Either of them might have married Mary Bosworth, and might or might not have sired our Lydia. ^[6]

Other unsourced reports have her death around 1669 and in 1679.
