Rynd --a good Lawder family name

I'm ready to be done with these Lawders and move on to the story of the Van Houtens.  (Preview:  I have an actual diary from 1845 that I'm so eager to tell you about.)  We're equally connected to both of course:  Papa had a mother (Van Houten) as well as a father (Lawder).  I am noting an irresistible bias toward the name that gets carried down the line....i.e. the fathers' names, despite my best intentions.

But before we leave the Lawders for the moment, I want to mention the name "Rynd".  I have five different 'Rynd Lawders' in my family database.  There were Rynds in every generation following the marriage in Ireland in the 1740s of Frederick L. Lawder and Rebecca Rynd.  Those two did not emigrate to America, nor did their son (1) Rynd born in 1746, but their grandson and namesake Frederick Lawder (1780-1866) emigrated to the US in 1801.  This Frederick married Margaret Reid in Virginia in June 1807.  They had a passel of children including Marion H.'s father (2) Rynd Lawder (1811-1841).  [Note: Marion H. Lawder and John F. Lawder, whom we know from previous posts, were the first cousins who married and had 4 children, one of whom was Paul Lawder, Papa's father.]  John F and Marion named their first child (3) Rynd Henry (nicknamed Harry) (1861-1918), probably after John F's brother (4) Rynd Edward (1837-1890) who reached the rank of Major in the Civil War and also moved to Missouri after the war.  In 1880 Rynd E. was Collector of Revenue in Audrain Co., MO and the father of 3 children, including a (5) Rynd Lawder Jr. (1876-1905).  This last Rynd that I have found was on the 1893 football team at the University of Tennessee and died at the young age of 29.  There are a few more Rynds (e.g., Rynd Lawder Stratton) found around the Ancestry.com site but I haven't attempted  to corral all the cousins across the generations.  Too many!  Just a little time with a family tree convinces you that the whole world is basically related if you go back 5-6 generations!

So who's going to be the first in the next generation to revive the name Rynd?  Meanwhile the mysterious photo above is a photo of a "rynd" or 'rind", the iron piece in the middle of a millstone.  See wikipedia if you don't believe me.
