LYFORD .*
FRANCIS LYFORD, who is found in Boston in 1667, is the ancestor of the Lyfords of C. and of nearly all of that name in this country. At this date he is a witness to a conveyance of land. (Suffolk Deeds, Liber V, pages 378-379.) Under date of 20 Sept., 1670, "John Chandler for and in consideration of eighteen pounds to me in hand paid by ffrancis Lyford of Boston, marriner," mortgages to the latter certain property in Roxbury. (Suffolk Deeds, Liber VI, pages 219-220.) In a deed acknowledged 9 July, 1672, is the following: "To All People to whome this writing or Deede shall come wee Thomas Smith of Boston in New England Builder & Elisabeth his wife send Greeting. Know yee that for & in consideracon of the Love we the saide Thomas Smith & Elisabeth doe beare unto our Sone in Law ffrancis Lyford of the same place Marriner have granted unto the said ffrancis Lyford
. . a piece or parcell of Land in length fourty foote or more or Less from the Seaward as far as the said Smith his Land reacheth being butted & bounded Easterly with the Salt Sea and fforthill & westerly partly with the dwelling house of him the saide Smith & partly with his Land &c." (Suffolk Deeds, Liber VI, pages 320-321.)
Francis Lyford, after the death of his wife (perhaps in 1677), sold this land. In 1678 he and John Bradish "have libertie granted them to wharfe before theire house and land." (7th Report Boston Record Commissioners, page 115.) Before 1683 Francis Lyford had removed to N. H., for in a deedt dated 29 Oct., 1683, "ffrancis Lyford" of Exeter, mariner, bought of Robert Tufton Mason sixty acres of land in that town known as "Samuel Dudley's great pasture" and fifteen acres of marsh land adjoining; also "7 acres of Sheep. pasture on side of Samuel Dudley deceased his house."
