  General Notes:

EDWARD TYNG, came to America with his brother, William, about 1639. He was a brewer and a merchant of Boston, and for many years one of the most active and prominent men of his time. He was repeatedly honored by appointment to office in civil and military affairs. In 1660, he purchased of James Parker of Chelmsford, three thousand acres of land in the part of original Dunstable now Tyngsborough. Here his son Jonathan subsequently resided. Fox states that he removed to Dunstable in 1679, and that he died here December 28, 1681. He was buried on his estate at Tyngsborough. His grave is covered with a granite slab bearing an inscription which gives a different date of death. "Here lyeth the body of Mr. Edward Tyng, Esq. aged 71 years. Died December 17, Day 1681." It is generally accredited that the town was named for Dunstable, England, the early home of Mary, the wife of Hon. Edward Tyng. 3517
