Lynde's Island and Gardiner estate on the Kennebec
The essay traces Lynde's Island history from its 1649 transfer to Samuel Lynde of Boston, through name changes from Purchase's Island to Lines Island, and later to Gardiner's estate. It notes how Coast Survey confirms Lynde’s naming, the long absence of settlers through wars, and Gardiner's development of a farm on the island before 1770 with architecture hints from relics nearby.
