Linus Yale Sr. was born in Middletown, Connecticut, and later moved with his parents to Salisbury, New York. He married Chlotilda Hopson, September 27, 1815, and they had four children. He was the first mayor of the village of Newport, New York, where he had a lock shop and manufactured several different kinds of locks of his own invention.
