• Notes

  The Lundy name is of Norman origin. Many Lundy's migrated to Northern Ireland in the 1600s during the English "Plantation of Ulster." At least one known Lundy in the 1800's in England was a miner. (C-717) Sylvester Lundy, himself, waser by trade. His father was either Vinson or Richard according to research by Ross Lundy Harrison. (C-725) There is a gap in the registers of Axminster from 1580 to 1647, precluding any hope of finding when Sylvester was christened. It appears that he and his wife temporarily moved to Chardstock, a village four miles from Axminster in the early 1640s. There was a Civil War that took place from 1642-1646 which might have prompted this move. (C-725) Sylvester was apparently doing very poorly in the year 1674, as he is given one shilling in the Axminster Parish Constables Records and is on the poor people's list. This is about the same time his son Richard I emigrated to America.
