I think you're right. The website England's Immigrants has several "Easterlings" named Lynde, van Lynde, etc., also several women named Jacomyne. None after 1500 in the database.

It could be pointed out that their ancestress Jacomine, wife of Crosse and

I am seeing this given name a lot among the Dutch Londoners of the time (well, not a lot, just more than among non-Dutch) so perhaps van der Lynde is also a possibility. The name was somewhat unfamiliar to your average scribe, if this is any
indication - a 1544 London burial of a woman of this name, the wife of a prominent member of the Company of Grocers, was recorded as Racomen [sic].

--from _Transactions--Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society_ for year 1929 [?]:
"... I imagine the brother of Thomas Megges (No. 163) and a native either of Wisbech or of some adjacent place in Norfolk. From him the mark passed through the hands of the Wisbech families of Lind and Crosse and thence by the marriage of Ann, the
daughter of Thomas Crosse, some time before 1592, to her husband Robert Poulter of Broughton in Huntingdonshire. He, however, disposed of it before many years ..."

The Poulter/ Pulter and Crosse marriage is confirmed in the 1613 _Visitation of Huntingdonshire._ and Robert Poulter and his wife Anna Crosse are shown with a daughter called "Jacomina."

This indicates again that the Crosses of Wisbech probably descended from a Lind or Lynde family.
