From notes found in the website of the Whitby Online Historic Photographs Collection (www.ourontario.ca/whitby).

Jabez Lynde (1773-1856) was born in Brookfield, MA. He married Clarissa Woodruff (1774-1830) in 1796. In 1803 Jabez and Clarissa emigrated to Canada, settling at the area now known as Lynde Creek in 1804.
Sylvester Bernard Lynde (1800-1883), eldest son of Jabez and Clarissa, married Louisa Mary Smith in 1822 and moved north to lot 32 on Conession 4, Maple Dell Farm. The couple had five children: Louisa, Charles Alfred, Jabez, Amanda, and Magdalene. [Louisa Mary, commonly known as Louey, died in 1831.] Sylvester was remarried in 1843 to Frances Phillips (1822-1895). They had eight children.

Some sources state that Sylvester was born in Madison, New York State, rather than in Brookfield, Massachusetts.

The Whitby Online Historic Photographs Collection contains a photograph of Sylvester and Frances Lynde.
