Excerpt from The Lundy Family and Their Descendants of Whatsoever Surname: With a Biographical Sketch of Benjamin Lundy
The Lundy lineage, so far as known, begins with three names, which represent three successive generations - father, son, and grandson.
First. The father was Sylvester Lundy of Axminster, County of Devon, England; our only known ancestor in the Lundy line who lived and died in the Old World.
Second. The son was Richard Lundy the First, born in England, a resident of Axminster, an emigrator to the New World in 1676, a settler in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the Founder of the Lundy Family in America. He was an Elder in the Religious Society of Friends.
Third. The grandson was Richard Lundy the Second, the first American-born Lundy. He was born in the County of Bucks, Pennsylvania, in 1692; and died in the County of Warren, New Jersey, in 1772. He was an Elder in the Relig ious Society of Friends, and was active at the organization of three new Meetings, or Churches, in the wilderness - the Buck ingham, the Plumstead, and the Hardwick. From this Rich ard the Second have sprung numerous Lundy households, which. Are now widely scattered throughout the United States and Canada.
We will now speak more fully concerning each of these three men.
