The responses to previous Circulars having been so nearly sufficient to
cover the cost of printing and binding as to encourage the publication of
the work, it has been prosecuted to conipletiou in a limited number of
copies. It is comprised in 549 closely printed pages, containing the names
of 7300 descendants of Richard Lyman, the first settler in America, and
is printed on fine tinted paper, and substantially bound in cloth.
The subscribers being scattered over nearly all the States in the Union,
and changes having probably taken place in the location of some of them
since their names were sent in, it is necessary to pursue a uniform policy in
the distribution of the work for the sake of economy of time and labor,
and certainty and accuracy of delivery. Please therefore to remit by postal
order or draft on New York or Boston $5 on the receipt of this circular, for
the book, and 48 cts. to prepay the postage, if it is desirable to have it sent
by mail, and the work will be forwarded safely wrapped and postage
prepaid and receipted bill enclosed.
For the volume bound in cloth, $5.00

Some copies have been printed on paper of a cheaper grade, which will
be furnished in any of the above forms at $ L less per copy.
Only about one-half of the edition can be furnished with a chart ; they
will be supplied to first orders received, until exhausted.
If the book is ordered to be sent by express, the amount of subscription
only need be remitted, as the cost of carriage can be paid on delivery of
the book. When ordered to be sent C. 0. D. double expressage is charged,
to defray expense of returning the money. It is therefore more economical
to remit the money with return of this circular, upon receipt of which the
work will be forwarded with receipted bill enclosed, and all further expense
of correspondence will be saved.
For accuracy of delivery, please to fill the blank below in a plain hand,
with your name and address, and return this circular, with the amount of

THE MEMORY
OF
Mi^^ Julia a^, Hgman,
THE FAITHFUL AND DILIGENT GENEALOGIST
OF THE LYMAN FAMILY,
TO WHOSE LABORS THET ARE INDEBTED FOR
THIS WORK,
IT IS AFFECTIONATELY, SORROWFULLY,
DEDICATED
BY THEIE UNANIMOUS VOTE AT THEIR
LATE KBUlSriON ON MOUNT TOM,
Northampton,
Aug. 39, 1871.
PEEFACE.
The authorship of this genealogy of the Lyman family
is to be ascribed to our deceased friend Miss Julia E.
Lyman. It was the labor of her life, the completion of
which she was not permitted to see. But by her tireless
researches through life, she had collected materials from
every quarter, and reduced them to such order in her
admirable chart, that it was just practicable to take up the
labors of her hands when they were palsied in death.
This chart was the last labor of her life. The memory of
it is saddened by the reflection that her assiduities in
extreme debility from the advanced stages of disease may
. have hastened prematurely the fatal issue.
Had the pen dropped from her hand but a little earlier,
before the completion of the chart, the labors of her life
would have remained incomplete. The continuance of this
work, begun only in reliance on the aid of the deceased,
would have been dropped; and the work remained un-
published. But in an evil hour the undersigned, quite
unconscious of the task he was assuming, resolved to carry
on, according to his ability, the work suspended by
the untimely decease of the principal agent and author.
Under innumerable discouragements, embarrassments and
difficulties resulting from the indifference and neglect
of very many, the record of whose families was repeatedly
sought in vain, and in the midst of accumulated domestic
afflictions, the toilsome task has been pursued. New
lineages of families totally unknown have been developed,
often making up a record of several hundred names. The
utmost diligence and care have been held in requisition to

torture of starvation in Andersonville or the Libby prison,
but, of all these no accurate count has been made.
From 10 colleges 93 Lyman s have graduated, but the
number graduating from all the colleges in the country
has not been ascertained. Our intention was to ascertain
the entire number of Lymans and descendants from Lyman
mothers, together with the number in each of the learned
professions, but having neither leisure nor health for the
further prosecution of these inquiries we remit them to the
inquisitive reader who has the data at hand in the book for
these and similar researches. A large proportion have
filled the office of the ministry, and a much larger number
have held office in the church as deacons and elders.

The materials for a suitable obituary notice of Dr. Lyman came to hand
too late for insertion in its appropriate place. The following extracts from
his last sermon on the " Hidden Life of the Christian," are given as a beauti-
ful illustration of his own Christian life and character :
Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who
is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Col.
Ill : 3.
Our physical life, mysterious and subtle though it be, is exposed to the
malice of its enemies, and liable at any moment to be destroyed. It is
hidden in ourselves, and held by a feeble tenure. Disease may poison it,
accident may crush it, the assassin may stab it, and it dies. It is ever in
the road of death. Not so our spiritual life. It is hidden away in God,
where disease cannot reach it, where the poison of the world cannot infect
it, and where no enemy can assail it. God is its fountain. It has its
spring in Him, and the strong arms of the Almighty protect it, and eyes
that never sleep keep ceaseless guard over it. No foe which is not stronger
than God can ever storm its citadel or penetrate its hidden home. So not
only is its fountain protected, but all its channels are covered and guarded.
Human wisdom, and not even Satanic cunning, can explore them or seek
out their hiding place. As the stream which has its head on some bald,
ice-bound, inaccessible mountain top, and whose channel is buried and
concealed in its rocky bosom, until it bursts forth from the earth at your
feet, so is the Christian's life, in its fountain and all its channels, protected,
and hidden in the bosom of God. Here and there you see a Christian life,
on the earth and among men, and yet so manifestly not of the earth or of
the spirit of men, that it seems like some rare and beautiful exotic. By
any earth born theorj^ it cannot be accounted for. You see it in its peace
and beauty, in its daily outgivings of blessing, and it fills j'ou with wonder
and admiration. You call it a miracle and so it is — one of Christ's silent
miracles — the miracle of a Christly life.
But there is yet another sense in which, to-day, this life in Christ is to
us a hidden life. It is the eternal life, the Christian life only in its early
beginnings, dimmed and obscured by the weaknesses and frailties of the
flesh, and darkened and overshadowed by its mortal and carnal surround-
ings. Its glory doth not yet appear. . It is hidden in the rubbish of the
earthly and the sensual. " Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for
them that love him." But this is not always so to be. " It doth not yet
appear what we shall be ; but we know that when he shall appear we
shall be like him," " for we shall see him as he is." Great honor is yet to
Addenda. xiii
be rendered to the Son of God, before all the universe, for the Christly
work of hujnan redemption. Peerless is to be the glory of man's Re-
deemer. Now, he, who is our life, is hidden from mortal vision. Though
present, he is yet concealed. But in the fullness of time he is to be made
manifest. He shall come in the glory of the Father and with him all the
holy angels. Not a part simply of the heavenly host, but all the mighty
army of the skies shall form his retinue. Beyond all human conception
of glory, shall be the greatness and the splendor of that day. He comes
to meet, and recognize, and gather home his redeemed children on earth,
and every eye shall see him. And then, in that glorious hour, " when he
who is our life, shall appear, shall we also appear with him in glory," if
we are his children. And then, in the presence of the intelligent universe,
shall Christ welcome his elected bride, his blood bought Church to her
home in the mansions of the Father, and with her sit down to the marriage
supper of the Lamb. Who can conceive the glory of that hour ?
Other eloquent sentences, belonging to this discourse, fell from the lips
of the lamented author, but tlie opportunity of recalling them is gone for-
ever. It escaped with the breath that gave them utterance. He was
wonderfully gifted in the power of extemporaneous speech, and many of
his written sermons were doubly effective by reason of these interjected,
or closing sentences, inspired by the occasion. The members of the
Second Presbyterian Church will never forget the foregoing sermon,
preacbed on the day of their communion Sabbath, January 14, 1873, only
five days before he fell asleep in Jesus.
"We cannot better close our allusion to the pastor of the Euclid Avenue
Presbyterian Church, than by reprinting these lines of Bonar, so frequently
quoted by Dr. Lyman, and so beautifully characteristic of his short but
blessed ministry :
*' My name, and my place, and my tomb all forgotten,
The brief race of time well and patiently run.
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently.
Only remembered by what I have done.
Gladly away from this toil would I hasten.
Up to the crown that for me has been won ;
Unth ought of by man in rewards or in praises,
Only remembered by what I have done."

Mr. B. S. Lyman of Philadelphia, who was lately in the service of the
British government in India as a mining engineer, boring for rock oil in
the Punjab, has pubhshed two brief but valuable memoirs on the Punjab
oil region (lying in the corner between Cashmere and Cabul, between
latitudes 32° 31' and 33° 47'), which is also a region of historical interest
being near the supposed cradle of the Aryan or Indo-European races. It
is within a few miles of Attok, where Alexander the Great crossed the
Indus, and ofTaxila, where he was hospitably entertained by King Taxiles •
the " fabulous Hydaspes," now the Jhelum river, flows across one corner
of this oil region, and near by is the traditional site of one of the com-
passionate miracles of Buddha, who once traversed this nook of the world.
The first of Mr. Lyman's memoirs was his " General Report of the Punjab
Oil Lands," printed by Lord Mayo's government at Lahore in 1870, an
official folio of 50 pages with a set of maps attached ; but this is not gene-
rally accessible. The second is a briefer paper on the Topography of the
Punjab Oil Region read before the American Philosophical Society of
Philadelphia, last January, and printed in Vol. xv of its Transactions. It
is also published separately by the author, making 14 large quarto pages,
and with a geological and topographical sketch-map of the region added!
It is an interesting paper, speaking briefly of the main features of the re-

gion described, its geological character and mineral products, and commu-
nicating much information that is at once new and valuable. Although
several English geologists have spoken of this tract in the Punjab, none
have studied it so minutely as Mr. Lyman, vrho vras also the first Ameri-
can geologist to visit it.

LYMAN GENEALOGY.
PART I.
I. THE LYMAN NAME.
The origin and signifieancy of modern English names, in-
volved in inexplicable myster}^, opens a boundless range for
theories and fanciful speculations quite foreign to our taste
and purpose. In Anglo-Saxon, Leoman. (lion-man f) ap-
pears as the name of an Anglo-Saxon land holder prior to
the ISTorman conquest. Leoman, rolling swiftly from the
tongue in familiar conversation, might easily become Le-
man. Whether this is the true origin and meaning of the
name — deus aliqui viderit — some theorist of keener insight
may determime. In authentic history the original name
was Leman.
Xiike most of the English surnames, this has passed
through many changes in settling down to the present or-
thography. It has been written Lehman, Leyman,Lyeman,
Lemman, Lemon, Leman and de Le Man. The French,
supposing the name to be derived from Vaiman, have
written it L'aiman. In America the name has taken
the form, Liman, Liraen, Limon, Limmon, Lemon, Lea-
mond and Lemond. In the records both of the town and
of the church in N'orthampton, for the first fifty years
or more, the name is generally written Liman ; early in the
last century it took the fixed and settled form of the pre-
sent appropriate orthography, Lyman.
The pedigree of the Lymans in England, the ortho-
graphy of the name and identity of the Lymans and the Le-
man s have been the subject of a protracted and exhaustive
investigation by H. A. Lyman, Esq., of London, to whom
we are indebted for the following summary of the pedigree
of the family in England. Every English record likely to
2
10 Lyman Genealogy.
throw light upon the subject has been searched, particu-
larly the De Banco, Coram Rege, Subsidy and Quo War-
ranto Rolls, extending frona the 5th Richard I Rolls. From
all these the conclusion is irresistible that the names Leman
and Lyman are one and the same. That they were recog-
nized as the same appears from the fact that Sir John Iceman,
lord mayor of London, 1616, had a correspondence with
the widow of Henry Lyman, brother of Richard, respecting
her return to England ; and that the father of Sir John held
part and parcel of the same estate which came into the
possession of the Lymaus by the marriage of Thomas
Lyman, of I^avistoke, with Elizabeth Lambert. The name
Lyman, in this ortliography , appears in the parish records of
High Ongar as far back as 1521.
The change of the vowels e and ito y is in entire accord-
ance with the analogies of our language in its primitive
forms ; " z exchanges with y in writing and sometimes with
ea, miht, myht, meaht, might, y ia ii-umlau of u and ea.
It was a favorite letter with the penmen, and is often found
for i and sometimes for e, ae: cyning, king, eald, yldesi,
old, oldest, lyden, leden, Latin." March's Anglo-Saxon,
Grammar p. 12, § 23.
Tne following illustrations are also given by the same au-
thor: "Latin, in the Anglo-Saxon, iet/en, is often written
Lyden. In the preface to the Heptateuch of JElfric, the
fourth line, has of Ledene, from Latin ; line 20, Lyden un-
derstandan, to understand Latin; the ending nes, Gothic
is very often nys, §228. Thus in yia.i\i., h:Q, righteous-
ness is rightwisnesse in one manuscript; nysse in another,
and so other words in ness ; neten is often written nyien, neat
cattle ; Ps., 135 : 8, hel, hell, is written hyl, Cadman, p. 307,
line 27 and elsewhere hlehhan, hlahian, laugh is found
hlyhhan, in ^delstan, 47, Judith, 23, and examples with-
out number might be enumerated. "
The substitution of y for i is too frequent and familiar to
require illustration. ' Flynt, Lynd, Lyndsay, Van Syckle,
etc. The German pronunciation of Lyman, is precisely
the same as ours of Leman. The two forms of ortho-
graphy are only diiferent methods of representing by sym-
bols the same sound, and the names Lem.an, Liman and Ly-
man are doubtless one and the same.
The careless and variable orthography of this family
name in ancient records is apparent in the follow,
ing reference^: In the Subsidy Rolls for Kent, 1st Ed.,
iii, the name is written Lyeman, and in the subsequent
The Ltmans in Great Britain. 11
rolls for the same place Lemman and Leman. In a pedi-
gree of the family, John, the grandfather of Sir John, Lord
Mayor, is called " John deLe Mans, " but Sir John's name
is uniformly Leman. In a pedigree from " The Visita-
tion of London, 1663-4," the father and brothers of Sir
John are written " Lemman,'' while Sir John is entered
" Lemon.'' The eldest son of Sir John's brother is en-
tered '"'■Lemon,'' and his youngest son " Leman."
Savage, in his Genealogical Dictionary, has the names
Lemon, Leamond, Lemond, Leman and Lyman. Through
all these intermediate changes the conclusion is easy, na-
tural and irresistible, that the ancient Leman has changed
to the modern Lyman — both one and the same.
11. THE FRONTISPIECE AND ARMS OF THE FAMILY.
The Lyman family have, at different times, borne five
separate armorial bearings or emblems, of which two only
are worthy of particular notice. The arms that form the
frontispiece seem to have been adopted long before any
official grant of arms was made. They are the oldest and
apparently the original family bearings. They appear in
an old manuscript roll of arms, under the name of Lyman.
They are now recorded as used by " Lemon, Lemmon, Lee-
man and Leman." The same arms are found in Burke's
Armory where they are entered as the arms of "Lyman
or Leman."
"We are indebted to Mr. H. A. Lj^man, of London, for
the following extracts from the best authorities relating to
English heraldry, which give, in a concise fqc^m, the sub-
stance of many hundreds of books which, from time to
time, have been printed on this subject :
" In the beginning of the 16th centurj?, owing to the mul-
tiplicity of abuses and irregularities which had crept into all
matters appertaining to the descent of arras, commissions
were issued under the great seal empowering the heralds
to visit their different provinces or districts, as often as
they deemed it necessary, and to convene before them all
those who bore or assumed to bear arms, and to cause
them to produce and to show by what authority and right
they challenged the said use of arms. These circuits
were called visitations. The earliest of these visitations
was held in 1528-1529. These were regularly made
every twenty-five or thirty years, until the close of the 17th
12 Lyman Genealogy.
century. The records or register book of these visitations
are of the highest importance. Unfortunately, many of
the books are now lost, and those that remain are scattered
among the private and public libraries of the kingdom."
" l!«fothing is absolutely known concerning it beyond the
fact that the middle of the 12th century is the earliest
period to which the bearing of heraldic devices properly
so-called can be traced ; and the commencement of the 13th,
the time about which they became hereditary.
" The earliest roll of arms of which we have any notice
is of the reign of Henry III (1216), and the reign of
Edward I presents us with the earliest heraldic document
extant.
" The oldest writer on heraldry was Nicholas Upton,
whose treatise was composed in the reign of Henry Y,
(1413). His definitions and explanations can only be
looked upon as assertions made nearly three hundred
years after the origin of the practice, and, consequently,
to be believed, or not, according to the discretion of the
reader.
"College of Arms was founded reign of Richard HI,
(1483)."
In the frontispiece the central figure, within and under
the crest of the helmet and the rampant bull, is divided into
four parts representing three coats of arms. The first and
fourth is that of the Lymans repeated in the fourth division
to make up the quarterly. In the Lyraan arms the signifi-
cant figure is the annulet or rm^ within the triangle. This
very ancient and frequent emblem in heraldry is differently
interpreted. It is said to be an emblem of eternity, having
neither beginning nor end. In Webster's Dictionary it is
described as " formerly reputed to be a mark of nobility
and jurisdiction. It is also a mark of distinctive form by
the fifth brother of a family in his coat of arms."
The second figure in the quarterly is the arms of Elizabeth'
Lambert, the heiress, who by her marriage about 1488, with
Thomas Lyman, of I^avistoke, near High Ongar, brought
large estates into the family.
The third is the arms of Sarah Osborue, the wife of
Richard^ the original immigrant to America, the ancestor
of all the Lymans, recorded in this book.
The coat of arms most frequently adopted by the Lymans,
in which dolphins play a conspicuous part, is that of Sir
John Lyman lord mayor of London, a few years before
the first immigration to this country. Sir John was largely

interested in the Fishmongers Company, and the dolphins,
it is suggested, may have some reference to this interest.
The crest is surmounted by a pelican in her nest feeding her
young. The significancy of these emblems and the origin
of these armorial bearings is given by Burke : In the
12th year of the reign of King James the first, Jan. 25,
1616, a coat of arms was granted to Sir John Leman, viz :
"Azure, a chevron embovved, three dolphins Naiant, Ar-
gent." These dolphins are said to be " symbols of social
love." The crest has a pelican with a bloody crest feeding
her young — also an emblem of love.
III. PEDIGREE OF THE LYMANS IN GREAT BRITAIN.
The old records of England throw but little light upon
the origin, or early history of this ancient Saxon f^imily ;
and although inheritors of estates at the time of the con-
quest of England, often derived their surnames from the
place of their abode, our investigations do not enable us to
determine what the connection of home or inheritance was,
if any ever existed, between the Leman family, and the
little ancient place called Lymen, that was once a hamlet
in the county of Kent. Our first knowledge of this family
name is obtained from the register or survey of the lands
of England, framed by the order of King William the
Conqueror, and known as Doomsday Book. The trans-
lation from this record of eight hundred years ago (vol. i,
p. 38a), is as follows :
" Hampshire. The King's land. Bosmere Hundred.
The King himself holds 2J hides^ in Hayling Island.
Leman held them in parcenary^ of King Edward, Harold
deprived him of them when he usurped the kingdom, and
converted them into a royal manor, and they so remain.
They were then assessed at 2J hides, now at nothing.
There are IJ ploughland,^ one in demesne,^ with one vil-
lein,^ and eight cottagers,^ with half a ploughland. There

of the land. ^ Holding in equal portions, both in property and as to right,
&c. ^ Norman measure, about 100 acres. ■* As lord of the manor. ^ Be-
longing or annexed to a manor whereof the Lord was owner, and were
usually sold with the farm to which they respectively belonged. This word
often occurs in Doomsday, and some think they were boors, or husbandmen,
with a small parcel of land allowed to them on condition that they should
supply the lord of the manor with poultry, eggs, and other small provision
for Ms board and entertainment.

is also 1^ acres of meadow. In the time of King Edward
it was worth forty shillings, afterwards twenty shillings,
now seventy shillings."
" Meonstoke Hundred. The King holds Soberton.
Leman held it of Earl Godwin. 'A Harold, when he reigned, X
took it from him, and made it a royal manor, and it so re-
mains. Leman himself could not remove where he wished.
It is said that he held lands in Finchdean Hundred, in
parcenary. It was then assessed at 4 hides, now at nothing.
It contains 2 ploughlands, half a ploughland in demesne.
There are six villeins and three cottagers, with two plough-
lands, and .two mills, which pay fifteen shillings, and one
acre of meadow. Its value was and is, three pounds.''
There can be little doubt but that this Saxon Leman con-
tinued the tenancy of the lands described, until his death,
and that he was succeeded in the tenancy by his son Os-
bert described as " Osbert Fil Leman," and who in the
time of Henry I, was a witness to a charter touching the
grant of certain lands to the Abbot of Battle. This Osbert
was succeeded by his two sons, John and Richard, both
paying taxes upon their lands during the reign of King
Stephen, and Henry II, the former holding in the island
of Hayling, and the latter in the counties Southampton,
IsTorfolk, and Kent. This first Richard Leman, had issue,
John, who held lands in the county Southampton, time
Henry II, and Richard I, and from the receipts for the
Exchequer we find he was one of the contractors for the
supply of timber for the repairing and enlarging of the
fortifications of the castle of Rochester, Kent. He was
succeeded by his eldest son Eldred, who continued in the
possession of the lands in county Southampton, and also
held lands in Luthyngland, county Sufi:blk, conjointly with
his brother Robert, which said lands they held of the king
in capeti, time of King John. This Robert, the brother of
Eldred, married and had issue. Eldred had issue : two
sons, Alan and Robert, the latter settled in St. Edigie,
county Cambridge.
Alan held lands at Stane and Wilburham, county Cambridge, of
the Knights Templar, time of Henry III.

claim to the title, but had not obtained possession of the estate.
His indefatigable labor of mind and body in a just cause has
shortened his days. He has for the last six months been sink-
ing under the great anxiety of mind which his case naturally pro-
duced ; and though he was attended by three eminent physicians
from Wakefield and Leeds, he gradually sank and died at the very
time when his labors were being crowned with success, his case
having passed through the House of Lords, the Herald's Col-
lege, and received the signature and seal of the queen, and he
had only to go to London to ' sufi"er recovery,' but which his fail-
ing strength would not permit. His next heir, Edward Godfrey
Leman, will have comparatively nothing to do in order to obtain
possession of this immense property. Sir John's dying request
was, that every person who had lent him money should be speedily
paid, which request his executors will see punctually complied
with as soon as possible. He was interred on Monday last, in a
manner suitable to his rank, at Sandall, near Wakefield."

of issue male, the estates were to go to his own right heirs.
This Sir William, 2d Bart, was sheriff of Hertfordshire,
1676, and was elected to represent the borough of Hertford
in parliament in the 2d year of the reign of King William
and Mary. He died possessed of the estates, 18 July, 1701,
and was buried iu the chapel at ISTorthaw, 28 July, 1701.
Mansel Leman, eldest son of Sir William, 2d Bart., having
died in the lifetime of his father, his son William, and
grandson of Sir William, 2d Bart., was the successor in
title and estates. Under the will of Sir William Leman,
2d Bart., dated 17 ^November, 1692, he apppointed his
brothers, John Leman, Edward Leman, and Tanfield
Leman, trustees to his estates, in trust for this grandson
William, and they were to receive the rents of the manor
of Barnes [alias Goodman's Fields) in order to pay his
daughters' portions and other legacies. This trust he
directed should be performed for one hundred years, and
in failure of male issue of his grandson William, the
estates iu Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertford-
shire, Middlesex, and London, were to go to his own right
heirs for ever. Edward Leman, ^one of the trustees, died
in 1700, and Tanfield Leman died in 1704, leaving John
Leman the only trustee, who died in 1729. This John
Leman had a son John, who was absent at the death of
liis father. Sir William Leman, 3d Bart, died possessed of
the estates, but without issue, on 22 December, 1741, and
was buried in the chapel at Northaw, 2 January, 1742.
To fully show the manner and disposition of his estates,
the following is a true copy of his will, dated 1 ISTovember,
1712, as extracted from the registry of the prerogative
court of Canterbury:
" In the name of Grod, amen. I, Sir William Leman, Baronet,
of Northaw, in the county of Hertford, having my sound and
perfect reason (^praised be God), do make this my last will and testa-
ment. First, unto thy hands, 0 Lord, I commit my soul, trusting
in the goodness of Thy mercy for the pardon of all my sins, and in
the merits of my blessed Saviour and Eedeemer, Jesus Christ, and
waitint^ for a joyful resurrection at the last day. My body I leave

said Richard Alie's decease, I give and bequeath the said Manors

and of Rampton in Cambridgeshire, with all their rights, mem-
bers, and appurtenances, to the person who shall have in him
the right of succession to the Leman Family. Whenever all

my said cousin, Richard Alie, I charge the said estates or estate
with £3000 to be immediately paid by the said Richard Alie, to

By the death of Lucy Leman, sister of Sir William, 3d
Bart., in the year 1745, all the issue of Mansel Leraan, son
of the 2d Sir William and father of the last Sir William,
became extinct, and the estates passed into the possession
of Richard Alie, who thereupon took the surname and
arms of Leman. He died in 1749, without issue, and by
his will, bearing date 6 November, 1745, and proved 19
July, 1749, he gave the estates to his sister Lucy Alie. She
died, and was buried in the chapel atlSTorthaw, 8 October,
1753, leaving the estates to one John Grainger, who there-
upon took the surname and arms of Leraan. This John
Leman, alias Grainger, died without issue, at Bath, 29
September, 1781, and was buried at Wardboys, in Hunt-
ingdonshire, on the 11th October, 1781. He left the es-
tates to his wife, with a reversionary interest to William
Strode, Esquire. The widow, Dame Leman, alias Grainger,
afterwards married this William Strode, and died without
issue at Bath, 15 December, 1790, and was buried with
her first husband, at Wardboys, on the 29th day of the
same month, and William Strode, esquire, died on the
21st July, 1809. The estate of J^orthaw was, pursuant to
a decree of the Court of Chancery, bearing date 17 Au-
gust, 1810, sold by auction on the 21th and 25th days of
October in that year, and was purchased, together with the
living or donative of IsTorthaw, by Patrick Thompson, Es-
quire, of Turnham Green, in the county of Middlesex,
who was the possessor in 1821. The value of these im-
mense estates, now in Chancery, and including the manor
of Korthaw, with the properties in the funds, that are
awaiting the rightful heirs, is estimated at four million
pounds sterling (twenty millions dollars).

L Sir Robert Umfreville, knight, Lord of Tours and
Vian in Normandy, commonly called " Robert with a

he came into England, and who in the 10th year of his
reign gave him the forest of Riddesdale with all the
castles, manors, lands and woods, pastures, waters and
pools which were formerly possessed by Mildred the son
of Akman, lord of Riddesdale, and which came to the
king upon his conquest of England, to hold the same by
the service of defending that part of the country from
thieves and wolves with the sword which king William
had by his side when he entered ITorthumberland.
By that grant he had also authority for hearing, determining, and
judging all pleas of the crown as well as others happening within
the precincts of Riddesdale by any proper officer for the time
being according to the laws and customs of the realms.

collection of the scutage, 8th, and 18th Henry H, paid 40
solidos upon the assignment of the scutage on those who
sent not in their certificates of the fees they held of this
Odowell, a monk of Tynemouth, grievously complained
about that time for his exactions upon his neighbors to
repair the roof of his castle Prudhoe, which he pre-
sumed to do because he was the chief person in that
county and partly through the interest he had at court
by a great man having married his daughter. In the
20th Henry II, his castle of Harbotell was taken by the
Scots, and his castle of Prudhoe besieged, but Robert
de Stuteville, then sheriff of York, with the help of some
northern barons timely relieved it.
In 23d Henry II, he was one of the witnesses to the king's arbitra-
tion between the king of Castile and Sancho, king of Navarre.
Y. Robert de'Umfreville, only son and heir, died in

VI. Sir Richard de Umfreville, knight, who in the 6th
Richard I, gave £100 to the king for remitting that fine
which he had made with the bishop of Durham, when the
county of Northumberland was on th^ ^' hop's hands and
that he might enjoy the king's favor though he did not
go into Ireland in that expedition then made thither.
In 7th Richard I, he stood indebted to Aaron, the Jew, in
the sum of £23 6 8 for which his land in Turnay was en-
gaged. In 5th John he had a grant of divers lands in Rid-
desdale. In the 14th John, the times being then turbulent,
he delivered up his four sons in hostage with his ca: tie of
Prudhoe to secure his fidelity, so that in case he should
thenceforth transgress, all to be forfeited, and his body to
be disposed of as a traitor's, nevertheless so little did he
regard this his great obligation, he joined the barons in
arms, 17th John, for which his lands were seized and given
to Hugh de Balliol ; but soon after Henry III beggp to
reign, and the times becoming more calm and quiet^he
had restoration of his castle^of Prudhoe notwithstancrjng
the king had no confidence in him or regard. He,lhe
king, discovered that' he forfeited his caStle of Prilraoe,

and thereupon, in the 6th 'Of his reign directed his precept
to the sheriff of Northumberland to impanel a jury of
twelve knights of that county to view, and having done
so to destroy whatever had been added thereto in point of
fortification since the war. He held the baronetcy of
Prudhoe of the king by his service of two knights' fees

Berwi«k-upon-Tweed, on Sunday, before mid-lent, thence
to attend Alexander, king of Scotland, to York, where King
Henry met him. In 17th Henry IH, doing his homage,
also had livery of the lands of his cousin, Matthew de
Torrington, who died without issue. In 24th Henry III, he
gives a fine of 100 marks over and above his scutage to
be freed from attending the king in Gascoigne. Died in
Passion week. 29th Henry III, he gives a fee. He was
called the famous baron, the flower and keeper of the .
northern parts of England. <^^K, \^|4£l^^* "^ ^fw^^o:^j..^t^i^
VIII. Gilbert de Umfreville^, Earl of Angus, Lord
Umfreville, baron of Prudhoe, lord of Riddesdale, being
an infant at the death of his father, 29th Henry III, his
wardship was committed to Simon de Montford, earl of
Leicester, he paying 10,000 marks to the king for the
same. In 43d Henry III, being then of age, upon the col-
lection of the scutage of Wales, he paid £11 12 0 for five
knights' fees, and a half and a fourth and the twentieth
part of the fees of Matthew de Torrington. He held the
manor of Prudhoe, likewise Riddesdale by the royal power.
In the 49th Henry III, being then in arms with the barons,
for awhile he did no mischief, but in 3d Ed. I, Walter de
Swethorpe came to the king and made a sad complaint
against him, setting forth that after the end of the troubles,
and peace being proclaimed and published by the king,
Henry III, this Earl Gilbert did seize upon him and keep
him in prison in the castle of Harbottel, until he had given
him 100 marks. The king, therefore, directed his precept
to two persons to hear and determine this injury. He was

PART 11.
At what time Richard began to institute measures for
his removal to America does not appear ; but in the 5th
Charles I, A.D. 1629, he sold to one John Gower two
messuages, agarden, orchard and divers lands arable; also a
meadow and pasture, all at ISTorton Mandeville, in the
parish of Ongar, county of Essex, and about the middle of
August, 1631, embarked with his wife and children in the
ship Lion, William Pierce, master, for Kew England,
taking their departure from the port of Bristol. We
are informed, that there went in the same ship, Martha
Winthrop, the third wife of John Winthrop, at that time
governor of New England, the governor's eldest son and
his wife and their children ; also Eliot, the celebrated apostle
of the Massachusetts Indians ; and that the ship's passen-
gers consisted of about sixty persons all told, and, after
being ten weeks at sea, arrived atNatascot, having lost none
of their company but two children ; and that as the wind
was contrary, the ship stayed at Long Island, but the go-
vernor's son went on shore, and that night the governor
went on board the ship, and remained on board overnight.
The next morning, November 2d,. the wind being fair, the
ship made anchor before Boston, and on the 4th of No-
vember all the passengers landed, the ship giving them a
a salute from six or seven cannon.
What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine ?
The wealth of seas ? the spoils of war ?
They sought a faith's pure shrine.
Aye, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod ;
They have left unstained what there they found,
Freedom to worship God.
On landing, the captain, with his companion in arms,
entertained them with a guard, and gave them welcome by

the salute of maujguns; and the greater portion of the
people of the near plantations went to receive them and
brought or sent for many days a great store of provisions,
such as fat hogs, kids, venison, poultry, geese, partridges,
etc. ; and we are further told that such joy and manifesta-
tions of love had never before been seen in 'New England ;
and it was a great marvel that so many people and such an
abundance of provisions could be gathered together in so
few hours notice. On the 11th day of ISTovember, a day of
thanksgiving was held in Boston in commemoration of the
event.
•Richard Lyman first became a settler in Charlestown,
Mass., and with his wife united with the church in what is
now called Roxbury, under the pastoral care of Eliot, the
apostle to the Indians; he became a freeman at the Gene-
ral court, 11th June, 1635, and on the 15th of October,
1635, he took his departure with his family from Charles-
town, joining a party of about one hundred persons, who
went through the wilderness from Massachusetts into Con-
necticut, the object being to form settlements at "Windsor,
Hartford and Wethersfield. He was one of the first settlers
at Hartford. " The journey from Massachusetts was made
in about fourteen days time, the distance being more than
one hundred miles and through a trackless wilderness.
They had no guide but their compass, and made their way
over mountains, through swamps, thickets and rivers, which
were not passable but with the greatest difficulty. They
had no cover but the heaver-^ nor any lodgings but those
which simple nature afibrded them. They drove ia ith them
one hundred and sixty head of cattle, and, by the way, sub-
sisted in a great measure on the milk of their cows. Mrs.
Hooker wasjborne through thewilderness on the shoulders of
the men. The people carried their packs, arms, and some
utensils. They were nearly a fortnight on their journey.
This adventure was the more remarkable, as many of this
company were persons of figure, who had lived in England
in honor, affluence and delicacy, and were entire stran-
gers to fatigue and danger. — TrumbuWs Colonial Records.
The party first struck the Connectiquot, the Quirmiiukut, the
long river in East Windsor near the Scantic river, and began
their first settlement, on the west bank of the Connecticut
in Windsor called by the Indians, Manutineang.
Richard Lyman, on this journey, suifered greatly in the
loss of cattle. He was one of the original proprietors of
Hartford, and there is little doubt that he and his wife
36 Lyman Genealogy.
Sarah formed a connection with the first church in Hart-
ford, of which the Rev. Thomas Hooker was pastor. His will
of 22d of April, 1640, is the first in the valuable collection
of Trumbull, and stands, Record, i, 442 and 443, and fol-
lowed by an inventory of his estate. All the children are
named in his will, and his daughter Phillis is called the
wife of William Hills. He died in August, 1640, and his
name is inscribed on a stone column in the rear of the
Centre Church of Hartford, erected in memory of the first
settlers of the city. His widow, Sarah, died soon after-
wards.
Richard is reported to have begun life in the New World
as a man of "considerable estate, keeping two servants."
In an account in the Massachusetts Historical Collections, of
the moneys paid out of the common treasury of the colony,
is found the following item: "Paid to Goodman Lyman
for a fat hog for to victual the pinnace sent for the taking
of David Bull £3 lO-s. 0. Goodman was the common title
of the age for gentleman or Mister. - This was doubtless
Richard Lyman who victualed thus the pinnace.
The following extract is copied from the record of Eliot,
the apostle, in his own hand writing : " Richard Lyman —
he came to Kew England in the 9th month, 1631. He
brought children, Phillis, Richard, Sarah, John. He was an
ancient Christian, but weake, yet, after some time of tryal
and quickening he joyned the church; w — n the great
removal was made to Connecticot, he also went, and under-
went much afiliction ; for, going toward winter, his cattle
were lost in driving, and never were found again ; and, the
winter being cold and he ill-provided, he was sick and mel-
ancholly; yet after, he had some reviving through God's
mercy, and dyed in the year 1640."
Richard Lyman's name is on the list of the original pro-
prietors of Hartford in 1636. His relative portion of the
laud obtained from the Indians was a fair average of that
of the other proprietors. Of the purchase, he received thirty
parts, one or two on the list receiving two hundred parts.
The land of the sepropi'ietors extended westward to Farm-
ington. The house lot on which Richard, settled as
appears on the ancient chart of Hartford for 1640, was on
the south side of what is now Buckingham street, between
Main and Washington streets, the fifth lot from Main
street west of the South Church and bounded apparently
on Wadsworth street either on the east or the west.
ElCHARD AND HIS FaMILY IN AMERICA. 37
The following extract is taken from the public records
of the Colony of Connecticut by J. H. Trumbull: "At a
meeting of the General Court Sept. 5, 1639, Eichard
Lyman complayneth against Sequassen for burning upp
his hedge which, before Mr. Governor, formerly he pro-
mised to satisfy for, but yett hath not done it. Saquassen
appeared and promised to pay within four days, or else an
attachment to be granted."
The will of Richard Lyman, the first on record at Hart-
ford, is dated 22 April, 1640. The inventory of his personal
property was made 6 of Sept., 1640. In the interval be-
tween these dates, he must have d. at the age of 60 years.
Sarah, his wife d. before the presenting of the will at court,
Jan., 1642.
His will and the inventory are as follows :

From the death of their father until their settlement in
Northampton , little is known respecting the sons of Richard^
Richard^, John and Robert. They were taxed A.D. 1655, in
Hartford, in a rate assessed to build a mill. They probably
removed the same year to Northampton, where, in De-
cember of this year, Richard was chosen one of the select-
men. He sold his father's household at Hartford in 1660.
He and his brother, John, were m. before their removal to
Northampton.

Windsor. She was sister of the wife of Elder John Strong
of Dorchester, Windsor and Northampton, the patriarch
of the Strongs, whose genealogy has recently been pub-
lished in two large volumes. Her 2d husband was
John Marsh of Hadley, Mass. Richard resided some time
in Windsor, owned land there, and occupied some of the
land of his father Ford " in East Windsor near the Hart-
ford line." He appears to have been a man of decided
character and influence. Immediately on his removal to
Northampton he was appointed one of the iirst selectmen
chosen in that place, and through his short life was engaged
in public business. He died June 3d, 1662.

28. Dea. Caleb Lyman^, Esq., son of John, and grandson
of Richard,^ was born at Northampton, Sept. 2d, or 3d, 1678,
and resided in Boston. He was one of thirteen from the
Old North Church who organized the New North Church of
that city and was one of the first deacons of the New Church.
This enterprise was begun in 1712. Its original families
were " substantial mechanics " who built a church of small
dimensions as the record is " without the assistance of the
more wealthy part of the community, excepting what they
derived from their prayers and their good wishes." The
church was dedicated May 5, 1714. It was a custom of the
churches of New England then publicly to ordain both rul-
ing elders and deacons. The New England version of the
Psalms was continued in use in this church until 1755.
It was then changed for Tate and Brady's version ; not long
after this the practice of reading and singing the psalms
line by line, alternately, was abolished or discontinued.
These facts, given in Drake's History of Boston, are presented
Richard and his Family in America. 41
as a part of the record of those scenes in which our vener-
able ancestor was a prominent actor.
Deacon Lyman died at Weston, Mass., Nov. 17, 1742, in
the 65th year of his age after an ilhiess of twelve weeks.
A sermon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. William
Williams of that place, a distinguished preacher, whose
praise was in all the churches in the eastern part of the
etate. Of this sermon a copy is still extant from which
the following extracts are taken. After characterizing him
as " a kind, tender and most loving husband, of a sweet,
pleasant and cheerful temper, and an amiable pattern of
the virtues of the married state — good and useful in all
the relations which he sustained both in church and
state," the preacher proceeds :
" Having used the Office of a Deacon well, he was, many
Years since with other pious and worthy Brethren, chosen
to assist the Pastors of that Church in their watching over
and regulating the Flock, in which Service I am well informed
he was greatly assisting, by his prudent Care, Inspection and
Vigilance, his kind visiting the sick and afflicted, warning
and rebuking the unruly and disorderly. He was a very
ministerial Man, honoring and befriending upon all Occa-
sions, his spiritual Guides, who greatly loved him and
heartily bewailed the Breach, made upon them.
" In his military Capacity he was a Man of firm Courage
and Resolution, of which he gave early Proofs ; of steady
Loyalty, a Lover of good Order and military Accomplish-
ments.
" As a Justice of the Peace, he was concerned and studious
to suppress Vice and Profaueness, and to promote Order,
Righteousness and Peace.
" He wasakind, courteous and loving Neighbor, a faithful
and obliging Friend, a prudent Peace-Maker, a Hater of
Strife and Division.
"As through his Industry, Frugality and honest Dealing
he had acquired a considerable outward Estate, so he was
ready to improve it for the Good of others, willing to distri-
bute, ready to communicate, very courteous and hospitable in
his House where many, especially Ministers of Christ, have
been often entertained and refreshed."
"In his lingering Illness his usual Reply to Inquiries of
his Health was ' Waiting upon God ;' ' As God wills.' A
short time before his Death, when his Wife wished him a
good Night, he replied, I wish you a comfortable Repose,
and when you wake may your Thoughts be of God and
42 Lyman Genealogy.
Christ and Heaven, may your Heart be filled with the Love
of God, and the Joys of refreshing Rest, and may God
bring you to his heavenly Kingdom. Amen." He died
childless and his lineage became extinct at his decease.
He left a legacy of 500 pounds for the use of the pastors
of the church and their widows.
Robert, Lyman youngest son of Richard^ is reputed to
have been a sportsman, devoting much time to fishing,
hunting, trapping, etc. Roberts' Hill and Roberts' Meadow
in Northampton are said to have taken their names from him
as being his favorite place of resort. From public records
it appears that he discovered the lead mines of West-
hampton.
He was one of the original purchasers and proprietors of
the tract of land now occupied by the city of Newark,
N. J., asis indicated by the following extracts from the early
records of that place, kindly furnished by S. H. Congar, Esq.,
a distinguished antiquary of Newark.
On June 24, 1667, forty-one of the then present inhabit-
ants, among whom was Robert Lyman, subscribed " with
their own hand unto the two fundamental agreements, to-
gether with twenty-three of the party from Branford. On
the principles of these agreements, our town on Pesayak
river was to be governed." The settlers of 1666, 1667, thus
uniting, proceeded to make "a sure list" of every man's estate.
Robert Lyman was set down at £285, or with a deduction
of one-third made to every man £190. May 7, 1668, the
common fence was proportioned to every man's estate and
lands within the same. Robert Limon has 44 rods. — Jan.
1, 1669, '70, Robert Limon in the division of salt meadow
lot, drew No. 26. — Feb. 21, 1670-1, at a second division of
salt meadow he drew No. 29. — May 26, 1673, "after due
preparation and solemnization for it," the town agreed to
draw their lots in a second division of upland, Robert Limon
had lot 31. Feb. 6, 1677-8, another proportioning of the
fence was made and one rod offence was required for two
acres, one rood, and twenty poles of land. Robert Limen
of this fence had 3 rods and 3 feet. In Oct., 1681, another
division of the fence was made, but in this his name does
not appear. In 1684, from a deed on record in the ofiice
of the secretary of state at Trenton, it appears that Robert
Lymon of Massachusetts sold lands in Newark to Jasper
Crane. In August, 1675, 107J acres were surveyed for
Robert Lymon, in seven parcels, home lot, upland, and
Richard and his Family in America. 43
meadow, as described in the record of surveys, for Newark,
and on these acres at a half-penny per acre there is now due,
if unpaid to the lords proprietors or their heirs, a sum they
will never get.
" Robert was also a proprietor of Orange, and the
heights of theWatchung mountain, then a rich champagne
country peopled with deer, elk and bears, and other crea-
tures with many a fair rising, and prospects all green and
verdant." A city of beautiful and princely villas. This
investment of Robert could not have been larg-e, for
the whole tract was received July 11, 1667, in exchange for
" a few handfuls ofgunpowder, and some lead, axes, breeches,
blankets, guns, kettles, etc. Subsequently the whole slope
of the Watchung on the Orange side waspurchased for " 2
guns, 3 coats and 13 cans of rum..''
Mil ford, Guilford, Brandford and New Haven, in Con-
necticut, contributed their portion of the people who were
to go into this laud of " many fair rising forests and
meadows," and " be of one heart and consent with God's
blessing in endeavoring to carry on other spiritual concern-
ments, as well as their civil and town affiiirs according to
God and godly government."
None of the Connecticut emigrants were allowed to vote
or hold office in the new colony, unless they were " mem-
bers of some or other of the Congregational churches," and
it was many years before this sectarian restriction was re-
moved. But then, these people and their descendants have
made a good record. Wherever the page of American
history is brightest — there the names of these sturdy peo-
ple reappear. This little group that nestled so harmoni-
ously down in the Orange valley, and whose log huts
dotted the romantic slope of Watchung mountain has sent
out scores and hundreds to fill the highest places in the
various departments of science and art, at the bar, in the
pulpit, in the medical profession, in literature, in the
senate, in colleges; they have been the pioneers of trade,
merchant princes, builders of cities, the defenders of their
country through every war, stern patriots — the very '■'■vim "
of the nation.
Those who took up land on the mountain were Robert
Lyman, Samuel Swayue and John Baldwin, 1675 ; Thomas
Johnson, John Ward, Anthony Oliff, Joseph Harrison,
1679. Matthew Williams at the time occupied a tract on
on the mountain, and afterwards exchanged some Newark
property with the heirs of George Day for the tract on
44 Lyman Genealogy.
whicli he fixed his residence, and whicli now bears the name
of Williamsville.
In May 20, 1684, Robert Lyman and Hepzibah his wife,
of Northampton, Mass., sold to Jasper Crane for £8 14s. Sd.
44 acres bounded on the north-west of the mountain. The
original document is still extant by which Robert appoints
Sarah Davis, the widow of " his cousin John Ward,"
to settle his affairs in Newark, he being in Northampton;
and that she accomplished the business satisfactorily.
The signature of Robertis associated with others of North-
ampton, in an etibrt to restrain and suppress intemperance
by preventing the introduction of ardent spirits and cider
into the town. In the latter part of life he became reduced
in property, and appears to have been subject to some
mental aberrations which subjected his family to peculiar
trials. Li March, 1691, representations of the state of his
family were made to the county court, in which he is de-
scribed as being under some "disteraperature," and unable
to manage his affairs. Similar representations were re-
peatedly made, and the family committed to the care of the
selectmen of the town. There is no authentic record of
Robert's death. The tradition in Northampton is that he
became a victim to his roving, sporting habits, and was found
in the forest frozen where he had fallen in pursuit of his
game. He m. Hepzibah Bascom.

Richard and his Family in America. 45
The settlement of IS'orthampton commenced in 1654.
In May 6, 1653, a number of persons petitioned the
General Court of Massachusetts to grant them liberty to
possess, plant and inhabit this place on the Connectiquot
river, called Nonotuck, as their own inheritance ; represent-
ing that it was a place " suitable to erect a town for the fur-
therance of the public weal and the propagation of the
gospel." Twenty-iive families manifested a desire to settle
there, " many of whom were of considerable quality for
estates, and fit matter for a church." '• Townsmen,"
selectmen, were chosen 1656. In March 18, 1657, the
people voted to employ an agent to obtain a minister, and
to devise means to prevent the excess of liquors used.
Nonotuck the Indian name for ^Northampton, including
the four Hamptons, was purchased in 1653, by John Pyn-
chon, Esq., for the original planters, 20 in number, from
Wawhillowa, Nenessehalant, Nassicohee, and four others styled
" the chief and proper owners, who all bargained for them-
selves and the other owners, by their consent." The con-
sideration for the purchase w^as, " one hundred fathoms of
wampum by tale, and ten coats, besides some small gifts in
hand paid to the sachems and owners; and also for plough-
ing up 16 acres of land on the east side of Quonnccuiicut
river the ensuing summer." Sept. 28, 1658, the sachem
Umpauchila complained to the commissioners that he had
not received so much as he expected. He was accordingly
paid an additional sum, and he, by a new deed, released his
title to the township.
The inhabitants lived in peace with the Indians 22 years
until the famous war with Philip.
The original purchase extended 10 miles on the river
and 10 westward, equal to 100 square miles, and included
the 4 Hamptons.
The old family homestead, on which Richard settled, was
adjacent to the original farm of the Rev. Ebenezer Mather,
the first minister of ITorthampton. This included the
ground now occupied by the Shop Row, on the south side
of Main street. It appears to have included the home-
stead owned and occupied by Dr. Hunt a half century since,
and the Shop Row, eastward, with the grounds of Gov.
Caleb Strong.
The original homestead of Richard became the property
of his 2d son John, of his son Benjamin, of his son Joseph,
of his son Elisha and of his son Theodore, who sold it in
46 Lyman Genealogy.
1827, after it had been in the possession of the family
172 years, through six generations.
The first Moses, grandson of Richard^ and son of John^,
bought one-half of the Mather farm, and his son, Capt.
Moses, bought the other half. The whole became the pro-
perty of Seth, the 9th child of Capt. Moses. He was unfor-
tunate in business and sold in several parcels the old home-
stead for the payment of his debts, some time before 1790,
and after it had been in possession of the family about
100 years. This farm in 1842, had upon it three dwelling
houses, besides the stores and shops in Shop Row, 15 or 20
rods in extent.
The property of Judge Hinckley and of the Hon. Theo-
dore Strong, is said to have been a part of this farm.
l^orthampton being from the beginning the home of the
Lyman family, the cradle from which they have arisen to
overrun the whole land, some early notices of them are
inserted from the records of the town, illustrative at once of
their influence and of the customs of these olden times :
In May, 1654 — was the petition for the laying out of
l^onatuck — and yet as early as " Feb. 19, 1660, seven per-
sons were appointed to transcribe the old records^' Among
these was Richard Lyman.
At a town meeting in 1657 — " It was then voted and
agreed that William Holton is desired to solicit the general
court & to act and propound several cases that concern the
town." — 1 — 2 — & 3 to "desire advice what course to
take about the preventing of excess in liquors in coming to
our town, & of cider; all those present at the making this
note, did promise to consent to it, in case the major part
of the inhabitants of the town do consent to it. " 25
names were given, & among them that of Robert Lyman.
1658, Jan. 4 — " 80 acres of land laid out for the ministry."
A committee of 5 to do it, Richard Lyman was second.

The sumptuary laws enacted to restrain extravagance
in dress are an institution illustrative of the spirit of the
times. Theee laws ordered " that persons whose estates did
not exceed 200 pounds, and those dependent upon them,
should not wear gold or silver lace, gold or silver buttons,
bone lace above 2.s, per yard, or silk hoods or scarfs, upon
penalty of 10s. for each oftense." " At the March court
Richard and his Family in America. 49
1676, the jury presented 68 persons from 5 towns in Hamp-
shire, 35 wives and maids, and 30 young men, some for
wearing silk and that in a flaunting manner, and others,
for long hair, and other extravagances to the offense of
sober people."
One of these was Hannah Lyman, of ^Northampton, 16
years of age, dau. of Richard^ deceased. The record shows
that this young girl possessed an independent, determined
will, 80 characteristic of the Lyman family, flaunting her
silks before the court, when arraigned for this very offense.
She was prosecuted for wearing silk in a flaunting manner,
in an offensive way and garb, not only before, but when
she stood presented, not only in ordinary, but in extraordin-
ary times ; she was fined lOs.
The following racy original phillipic forcibly illustrates
the spirit of the times :
" I honour the woman that can honour herselfe with her attire a
a good Test alwayes deserves a fair margent ; I am not much of-
fended if I see a trimme far trimmer than shee that wears it ; in a
word, whatever Christianity or civility, will allow, I can afford with
London Measure ; but when I heare a nugiperous gentle dame in-
quire what dresse the Queen is in this week; what the nudiuster-
tian fashion of the court; I mean the very newest; with egge to
be in it in all haste, whatever it be ; I look at her as the very giz-
zard of a trifle, the product of a quarter of a cipher, the epitome of
nothing, fitter to be kickt, if shee were of a kickable substance, than
either honour'd or humour'd. To speak moderately, I truly confesse,
it is beyond the ken of my understanding to conceive how those
women should have any true grace, or valuable vertue, that have
so little wit, as to disfigure themselves with such exotick garbes, as
not only dismantles their native lovely lustre, but transclouts them
into gant bar-gesse, illshapen, shotten-shell-fish, Egyptian Hyero-
glyphicks, or at the best, into French flurts of the pastery, which a
proper English woman should scorn with her heels ; it is no marvel
they weare drailes on the hinder part of their heads, having nothing
as it seems in the forepart, but a few Squirrils' brains to Kelp them
frisk from one ill favored fashion to another." — Simple Cohlcr of
Ayaioam, pp. 26-27. Palfrey's Hist.
It may give a clearer insight into the social and domestic
life, in these primitive days to note the current prices of
some of the staple articles of sale collected chiefly from

Mutton, 2 ; flour, $3.50 per bbl. ; wheat, 2s. Qd. ; PeiiS, 2s ;

Two of the sons of Richard^, Richard^, and John^, had
each three sons who had issue of several sons ; and from
these six grandsons of Richard^ have descended a numerous
posterity which have overspread the land. The three grand-
sons, sons of Richard^, are Richard^, Thomas^ and John^
The three sons of John^ are John^, Moses^ and Ben-
jamin^ Richard^ represents the Lymans in Lebanon, Conn.
Thomas^, the Lymans in Durham, in the same state ; the
two Johns' had their habitat chiefly in ISTortliampton,
South Farms and liockanum, Moses is represented by the
Lymans in Goshen and Salisbury, Conn., and in South-
ampton and Boston, Mass. East and West Hampton were
the primary centres of emigration for the descendants of
Benjamin^, the sixth and last grandson^ The descendants
of each of these six grandsons will be represented under as
many subdivisions or parts in the order of seniority, each
constituting one part in the general*' divisions of this work.

I. LINEAOE OF SAMUEL^, ELDEST SON OF KICHARD^.
Richard,^ the eldest son of Richard^, b. in Windsor,
Ct., in 1647, m. in ^Northampton, May 26,1675, Elizabeth,
daughter of John Coles, of Hatfield, Mass., and resided in
IsTorthampton until 1696, when he removed to Lebanon,
Ct., where some of his descendants have continued to
reside until the present time; but others have gone out over
all the land. They early emigrated to Vermont : from that
state some passed into Canada; others westward took their
course ; and onward still, as new territories and states have
arisen, quite to the Pacific ocean.
Richard was not an original proprietor in the Five Mile
purchase in Lebanon, which was the beginning of the set-
tlement, but an allotment was deeded to him, which he
subdivided to his children, sopie of whom settled in the
town and some in the Crank, now Columbia. Here the
father himself lived, and died iJ^ov. 4, 1708. Ko monu-
ment marks his resting place.

According to another tradition, or record, the wife of
SamueF was Elizabeth Fowler^ but the improbability that
the names of the wives of both father and son were the
same, casts suspicion on the supposition, and the records
of Suffield justify us in ascribing to the son Elizabeth
Smith as his wife, Lebanon, Ct.

313 Enoch Lyman^, second son and fifth child of EzeUel\
at the age of 24 ; m. Margaret Crego, USTov. 4, 1819, in
the town of Turin, N. Y. His wife, at her marriage, was
but 15 years of age. She was born Oct. 31, 1804, in Conn.,
and had, with her father's family, migrated from thence to
Lewis Co., ]^r. Y. Enoch with his young wife, being in
poor circumstances, went boldly into the forests upon
Tug Hill, in Turin Co., IST. Y., and commenced house-
keeping in a log cabin of his own construction. By perse-
vering industry, they made themselves a good, well fur-
nished home in that region, now celebrated for butter-
making. Some years after they settled there, their log cabin
with most of their household goods caught fire, and burning
to the ground in the night time, they barely escaped with
their little ones alive. A new and commodious house, which
they were then building, was, however, at this time nearly
completed and soon after occupied by his family. Being
a good hunter and fond of sport, in those early days he
furnished his table with the choicest cuts of venison from
the adjacent forests, frequently varied with a roast of black
bear. Many hours of his old age were spent in narrating
Descendants of Richard. 73
thrilling stories of the chase ; and none more thrilling or
roEQantic than true. He was a natural mechanic, and truly
termed " Jack of all trades." Though young, he served
some months in the war of 1812 and received his military
warrant therefor. His wife was a genuine helpmeet, and,
as was the custom in those days in that country, spun and
wove the flax and wool of their own growing, and by the
labor of her own hands kept her large family warmly
clothed. Enoch Lyman maintained an exemplary reputa-
tion as a citizen, and, at the time of his death, Dec. 8, 1853,
aged 58 years, was a member of the old school Baptist
Religious Society, in Turin.

395 LoEENZO Branch, the second son of Enoeli and
Margaret Ljman, m. Mary E. Hawkins, at Waukesha,
"Wisconsin, Sept. 19, 1858. Being naturally studious in liis
youth, acquired a liberal academical education, and at the
age of nineteen commenced the study of law under the
tuition of a prominent lawyer, W. 8. Hawkins, at his office
in Waukesha, Wis. After pursuing a thorough course of
law reading and obtaining a practical acquaintance with the
forms of practice ia the courts, he was admitted to the bar
as an attorney at law in all the state courts of record and
United State courts. Under the excitement of the then
recent gold discoveries in California, he went to that country
"overland" in 1849, and there delved for the precious
metal with various fortunes for some eight years, some-
times panning out of his ore one hundred dollars of the dust
to the pan and often pocketing a handsome nugget; then
for a change and possessing his father's great love for the
chase, would go out among the almost countless variety
of wild game with which the country abounded — pitch his
tent under a live oak and follow a hunter's life and partake
of a hunter's fare for months together. At the end of
nine years he returned to Wisconsin, married Mary E.
Hawkins, the only daughter of his former law tutor, and,
as his law partner, resumed the practice of law. He
there held many offices of public trust and honor, and was
a staunch republican from the birth of that party forward.
In 1864 he removed with his family, and settled in the
Gallatin valley in Montana Territory, engaged in farming,
stock raising and the practice of law, and greatly prospered
therein. In 1869 he was appointed by President Grant,
register of public lands for that territory.

410 2 Sjlvie Rozeffie, b. April 28, 1865, in the Eocky Mountains ;

Mrs. Lyman, d. at Helena City, March 3, 1869. " She
was a lady of more than ordinary intelligence, of rare
womanly sensibilities, and of qualities of head and heart
that endeared her to a large circle of friends and acquaint-
ances, respected and loved by all. Her unexpected and
sudden death will be generally lamented, and the widowed
husband and orphaned children, in their great bereavement,
Descendants ofr Richard.

Jiave the sympathy and condolence of the entire commu-
nity."
I STILL LIVE.
O, Tliou^ whose love is changeless,
Both now and evermore ;
Source of all conscious being :
Thy goodness I adore.
Lord, I would ever praise Thee
For all Thy love can give ;
Bntmost of all, O, Father !
I thank Thee that I live.
I live ! O ye who loved me !
Tour faith was not in vain ;
Back through the shadowy valley
I come to you again.
Safe in the love that guides me,
With fearless feet I tread —
My home is with the angels —
O, say not I am dead.
Not dead 1 O, no, but lifted
Above all earthly strife ;
Now first I know the meaning.
And feel the power of life —
The power to rise uncumbered
By woe, or want, orcare ;
To breathe fresh inspiration
From pui-e, celestial air ;
To feel that all the tempests
Of human life have passed,
And that my ark, in safety, rests
On the mount at last.
To send my soul's great longings,
Like Noah's dove abroad.
And find them'swift returning.
With a sign of peace from God ;
To soar in fearless freedom
Through broad, blue, boundless skies
And catch the radiant gleaming
Of love-lit angel eyes ;
To feel the Father's presence
Around me, near or far,
And see His radiant glory
Stretch onwards, star by star ;
To feel those grand upliftings
That know_not space nor time,
To hear all discords ending
In harmony sublime ;
To know that sin and error
Are dimly understood.
And that which man calls Evil
In undeveloped good ;
To stand in spell-bound rapture
On some celestial height,
And see God's glorious sunshine
Dispel the shades of night ;
To feel that all creation
With love and joy is rife ; —
This, O my earthly loved ones.
This is Eternal Life ! ■
There, eyes that closed in darkness
Shall open to the morn ;
And those whom death had stricken,
Shall find themselves new-born ;
The lame shall leap with gladness.
The blind rejoice to see ;
The slave shall know no master.
And the prisoner shall be free.
There, the worn and heavy-laden
Their burdens shall lay down ;
There, crosses, borne in meekness,
At length shall win the crown ;
And lonely hearts that famished
For sympathy and love,
Shall find a free affection
In the angel-home above.
O, children of our father I
Weep not for those who pass.
Like rose leaves gently scattered.
Like dew-drops from the grass.
Ay, look not down in sadness,
But fix your gaze on high ;
■ They only dropped their mantles,
Their souls can never die.
They live ; and still unbroken
Is that magnetic chain.
Which, in your tearful blindness.
You thought was rent in twain.
That chain of love was fashioned
By more than human art.
And every link is welded
So firm it cannot part.
They live ! but O, not idly
To fold their hands to rest,
For they who love God truly.
Are they who serve Him best ;
Love lightens all their labor.
And makes all duty sweet ;
Their hands are never weary,
Nor way-worn are their feet.
Thus by that world of beauty,
And by that life of love.
And by the holy angels
Who listen now above,
I pledge my soul's endeavor.
To do whate'er I can
To bless my sister woman,
And aid my brother man.
O, Thou, whose love is changeless,
Both now and evermore.
Source of all conscious being !
Thy goodness I adore.
Lord, I would ever praise Thee
For all Thy love can give ;
But most of all, O, Father,
I thank Thee that I live.

removed to Vermont, and became a resident of Yergennes,
after some two years at Monkton. His occupation through
life was that of tanner and currier.
He was a large, well proportioned man, about six feet in
height, of lofty, commanding presence. Few men in the
army made so noble an appearance in a military dress.
His stately person was but an appropriate representation of
his lofty patriotism. "Great in soul, he stood unmoved amid
the fluctuations of parties and the strife of demagogues;
with true independence his manly spirit soared above
the meanness of duplicity and the baseness of dishonor.
He was sober in his habits, humane of heart and peaceable
in life, a kind husband and father, and a useful citizen.
His unblemished character defies the invidious attack of
envy, malice and detraction."
He was never plaintift'or defendant in any case in court.
His character was unimpeachable enough to remain un-
unscathedeven in the political campaign of the war of 1812,
whenpartizan zeal ran mad. The only impeachment of his
character was that he allowed his business to drive him
instead of maintaining the mastery of it himself.
After some months service in the war of 1812, Major
Lyman returned to his home, but when the enemy invaded
the state of Kew York he volunteered in the service of his
country and continued in that service at Plattsburg, until
the retreat of Provost. While at Plattsburg, by fatigue
and exposure to the severity of the weather by night and
by day, he lost his health and returned home, and after a
short time, expired at the age of fifty-three years, at his
own house, 14 days after his engagement in the battle
of Plattsburg.
Descendants of Kichard. 91
He left but a small property, having a large family
without funds requisite for a large business. He had five
sons and five daughters of whom three of each sex are still
living, the most of whom are residents in the western states.

94 Lyman Genealogy.
He was 35 years a member of the Congregational Church in
Hanover, in the town of Marshall, and for many years one of its
deacons.
He could always be relied upon. As a church member and church
officer he was sure to be found promptly on all occasions in his
place, and both ready and anxious to do whatever he could for the
cause of Christ which he loved with his whole heart. In storm and
shine he was always the same resolved, consistent, active servant of
his master.
When the cause of anti-slavery and of temperance was in ill odor
with the great mass of the community around him he stood forth at
once as their advocate.
He was also generous in his habits of giving, and sometimes even
as it seemed to some of his best friends, beyond his ability.
His habits of body and mind were active and fresh to the last, and
he was dismissed from earth without any of the slow decay of age,
spending one sabbath joyfully on earth and the next more joyfully
in heaven, greatly missed by the little band of church members that
worship now without him in the same sanctuary.
While his death is precious in the sight of the Lord, the memory
of his life of piety and religious fervor will be ever precious to them.
„ He had never tasted liquors or tobacco or even tea or coffee, in all
his life.

He was a man of humble piety, of great firmness and sim-
plicity of character, of sound judgment, and strong common
sense. He often represented the town in the state legisla-
ture, and filled other positions of public trust. Owing to his
proverbial candor and practical wisdom, he was constantly
consulted as a referee in cases of diflaculty in the community,
and his decisions were alwaj^s regarded as eminently ju-
dicious and fair. He was extremely modest and retiring,
and a man of few words, but these, weighty and to the point.
He was universally respected, and not known to have had
an enemy. He gathered by his industry and enterprise a
handsome property. Manchester, Conn.

prises, though not always with success. The Erie rail road
was greatly indebted to his energy in its early develop-
ment, especially for the aid which it received from the
state. He was able, sanguine, fertile in plans, but often

tanner by trade in Columbia, formerly Lebanon Crank, m.
Elizabeth Collins of the same place, b. 1748; d. Feb. 4,
1826, aged 80. He was an example of the strictest in-
tegrity, benevolence and piety. In middle life he became
the subject of insanity, a constitutional tendency peculiar
to several branches of the Lyman family. His derange-
ment took the form of brooding melancholy, in which for
many months he uttered no audible word. In this state
of mind he was induced by much persuasion to attend a
regimental review in Lebanon. From this he returned
apparently a sane man. He conversed freely, returned to th e
duties of life and for 18 years enjoyed usual health. He re-
turned from a journey in feeble healtli, became again de-
ranged, and d. Nov. 16, 1804, aged 60.
These twin brothers resembled each other in form and
features so nearly that they were with difficulty distin-
guished the one from the other. In their mental charac-
teristics and mutual atfection they manifested the same
beautiful identity and unity.

moved, about 1800, to Washington, Mass., and soon be-
came insane and unable to take care of her family, making
frequent attempts to commit suicide. Late in the after-
noon of Friday she walked six or seven miles in a thunder
storm to a friend's house, but remained in a shed by night,
then secreted herself in a swamp where she remained with-
out food until Wednesday, when in extreme exhaustion she
crept to a friend's house, and by careful nursing was re-
stored to health both of body and mind. For many years

slie continued in good health ; removed in 1828 to the state
of IsTew York; became again insane and so continued until
her death, Aug. 28, 1849.
174 Hannah, b. Dec. 22, 1773; d. Dec. 2, 1846. Of a
reserved, retiring disposition, she lived 17 years by herself
in hereditary apartments in her father's house; in Oct.,
1845, she went to reside with her brother Benjamin ; be-
came insane and so continued until her death.
175 Artemas, b. Aug. 15, 1776 ; m. Abigail Barston,
March, 1802. In 1811 removed to Onondaga, thence to
Sweden, N. Y.; there he became a raving maniac on the
subject of religion. Conceiving himself to be a messenger
of the Lord, when not chained to his cell he would go from
house to house, in the dead of night, calling upon the
sleepers to awake and flee from the wrath to come. His
children, consisting of two sons and two daughters, removed
with him to Michigan where he d. in the autumn of 1843.
In periods of his sanity he officiated as deacon of the church
where he resided. The history of his children is unknown.
176 Benjamin, b. Oct. 30, 1781; m. June 9, 1803, Lydia
Barston, and lived through life, almost 70 years, in the
same house, within a few rods of the place of his birth.
Mrs. L. d. April 15, 1863, a model wife and mother. As
her children, nine in number, gathered around the coffin
to take the last look of the deceased, and wept, the voice of
the venerable and bereaved husband was heard in clear ac-
cents, saying : " Suppress your tears ! It is the Lord's
will. He gave. He hath taken away. Blessed be the
name of the Lord." The eldest son responded :
"A shade of gloom is o'er us cast :
A silent voice to us has spoken ;
The silver cord is loosed at last,
The pitcher at the fountain broken.
And all seems sad ."
Benjamin, d. Oct. 12, 1871, aged 90 years, less 18 days.
His nine children were all present at his funeral — all but
one over 50 and three over 60 years of age.
Benjamin Lyman was akindand affectionate husband and father,
revered and beloved by all his children. Such was his moral and
religious influence in the training of his household, that none of
them have departed from the Christian faith of their father, and all,
in a high degree, have maintained blameless lives before the world,

verifying the words of the wise man : " Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." He
possessed a good constitution, a strong intellect, a retentive memory,
and a kind and benevolent heart. In manners he was modest, digni-
fied, and gentlemanly. His religion was of the Puritan stamp, not
spasmodic, but even in its course, every day alike. He was con-
sistent and liberal in his views, and yet firm, in what he believed to
be right, and in contending earnestly for the faith once delivered
to the saints. He was a sweet singer, and his presence and help were
often solicited from abroad in times of religious revivals. In 1820,
he assisted the Rev Alfred Wright, missionary to the Choctaws,
in forming the Sunday school in Columbia ; was chosen its first su-
perintendent, and held the office some 14 or 15 years in succession.
After his resignation of that office, he became the teacher of a large
adult Bible class, and held it until the infirmities of age rendered it
proper for him reluctantly to retire from his charge. He was an
efficient helper to his pastor, and in his absence, visited at the bed-
side of the sick and dying, sometimes attending funerals, and con-
ducted, with ability, religious meetings in the conference room. When
destitute of a pastor he led the exercises at the church on the sabbath.
He possessed a strong, clear, and sonorous voice, and the old people
loved to hear Dea. Lyman read and pray, as well as sing the songs
of Zion. One lady more than 80 years of age, in looking upon his
form after death, placed her hand upon his brow and exclaimed
" 0, how many earnest prayers I have heard from that good man's
lips." He was chosen deacon of the church at 32 years of age, and
officiated in that capacity until disabled through the infirmities of
age. He had but a little education from the schools, but was natur-
ally a student, and improved every opportunity to gain knowledge
from books and from observation. In the prime of life he was an
efficient member of the committee for visiting schools. Poor in
this world's goods, but rich in the endowments of nature's God, he
.served his day and generation well. He retained his faculties
nearly unimpaired, until almost four score years of age, after which
his mind gradually decaying, he returned to second childhood, and
at last to partial insanity.

the exception of attending the common district school, such
as they were 50 years ago, about four months in the winter
season, until he was eighteen years of age, he was wholly
self-educated. His occupation until he was more than 30
years of age, was farming in the summer and teaching
school in the winter. His tastes not according fully with
farming, he decided, even at this late hour of his life, to
change his occupation, and chose the practice of medicine
for his future livelihood. He commenced the study of medi-
cine in 1855 by himself; read and examined the works
of the different schools, so far as he could obtain them, and
finally adopted the theory and practice of the then so-called
Thomsonian system, known now as the Eclectic practice,
and entered upon its duties Dec, 1837, in the city of Nor-
wich, Ct. At 30 years of age he had no library, with
the exception of a few school books. Since then he has
gathered a w^ell assorted library of nearly 150 volumes.
His practice has been a living one, and he has been blest
v^ith more than an average success. He removed from l^or-
wich to Willimautic, Dec, 1852, and followed his profession
there with success until April, 1866, when he removed to
the city of Hartford, where he still remains in a successful
practice. He was superintendent of the Congregational
Sunday school in Willimantic, 10 successive years, and also
an active member of the church during his stay there.

216 I Nancy Jane, b. Jan. 9,1834, at Columbia; d. July 25, 1864,
in Willimantic, Ct.
The following lines, occasioned by her death, were written by her
father :
I cannot make it seem that she is dead.
Profusely though my stricken heart has bled.
I cannot make it seem her face is hid,
No more to smile, beneath the coffin's lid.
Or, that her voice, so sweetly tuned, is hushed
And all her hopes of longer life are crushed ;
Or, that her form lies now below the sod.
While upward soared the spirit has to God.
From memory's urn a thought oft steals away,
Through numerous years, back to the eventful day
When first I looked at her, my first-born child ;
With gladness almost passionate and wild —
Back to the time when she encradled lay,
And fell disease was wasting her away.
But it was staid, and she was left to grow
To riper years, and more of life to know.
With pain and anguish marked were all her years.
And watered often were with flowing tears ;
Descendants of Richard. 109
And yet I cannot make it seem tliat deatli lias come,
And called her hence to yonder spirit home.
Oft as I tread the room she called her own,
Now drear and silent, and so very lone.
Where all is seen just as when in her care,
I think I'll see her — but she is not there.
So when I bend over her sacred mound.
Where dust with dust is mingling under ground.
Some still, small voice, seems whispering in my ear :
" Look upward, now, for lo, she is not here ! "
As day recedes with coming shades of even,
And as I turn my wandering thoughts to heaven.
And bend the knee and upward look in prayer,
'Tis good to think my daughter's home is there.

Frontier Life, Reminiscences, etc. — When the elder Corne-
lius moved there, the country was a wilderness. Where the
city of Still water now stands — a city of 6,000 or 7,000 inha-
bitants— there were only three men, and one log shanty.
While opening his farm, which was some four miles from
what is now the city of Stillwater, his family resided there,
camping out in haying time, to cut the wild hay on the prai-
ries ; they fell short of provisions, andhaving nothing butiive
or six pounds of pork left, his sons went to Stillwater to
obtain supplies. The wolves, attracted by the meat, came
around his bed; once or tv^ice he drove them away ; finally,
he put the meat under his pillow for safe keeping, but the
wolves carried it off before morning-.
Descendants of Kichard. 121
He pnt up a cabin on the bank of the St. Croix in the
spring of 1847, and moved up his family. He brought
with him a sow and eight pigs, and they finding themselves
in a strange place, took refuge under the house. That
night the family were awakened by a terrible squealing, and
the oldest son, going out to see what the trouble was, be-
held a wolf making off with one of the young pigs. He
immediately gave chase, but the wolf was too spry for him
and escaped. He had but just returned when the pigs
sounded the alarm again. He immediately issued forth with
intent to kill, but the enemy had retired in good order.
Storrs returned to the house, concluding that the wolves,
had determined to have the pigs at all hazards, as they did,
before morning. The dam, bereft of her young, returned in
the morning to the city in grand disgust with frontier life.
The Indians at this time were very numerous, but gene-
rally were friendly toward the whites. But the Chippewas
and Sioux were continually at war among themselves.
A party of Sioux came to the house one night just at
dusk and wanted supper. They had been on the war path
and had the scalps of some ten or a dozen Chippewas whom
they had killed, that afternoon, some six or seven miles
above on the Apple river. No one was at home except
Mrs. Lyman. She refused them admittance, but told them
they might build their fire out in the yard, which they did ;
and after supper, they danced their scalp dance, nearly all
night. One of the members of that war party is now a
missionary among the Sioux.

quired to renounce protestantism, or sacrifice all that the
heart holds dear on earth, he made the sacrifice for con-
. science sake. His property, which was ample, was con-
fiscated. His wife, with three young children, was torn
from his embrace. Thus destitute and desolate he was
banished to a distant foreign country, but he who holds the
winds in his fist directed the ship to the shores of England
where he was landed. His wife, knowing nothing of his
fate, managed to transport her little charge also to England.
There, landed on the beach, she sat neglected while others
were received by friends or shared the kindness and hospi-
tality of strangers; then raising a loud and bitter cvy, she
exclaimed: Is there none here who can speak the French
language? Attracted by the cry and the accents of his
native tongue, a stranger went to her relief and sank into
the embrace of his lost, despairing wife, by this surprising
providence receiving her with their little ones as alive from
the dead ! Once more united, an unbroken family in a fo-
reign land, like their Divine Master, they had not where to
lay their heads. Still the subjects of penury and of perse-
cution they took refuge in the wilds of America, the home
of the oppressed.
The names of their three sons b. in France, were Fran-
cis, Ephraim and Joshua. Other children were born to them
in America, from whom a numerous posterity have de-
scended worthy of their pious and distinguished ancestry.

creature, there being no roads for conveying provisions.
He Lollowed out a login which to salt his meat; and with
the few things he could bring on his back, commenced ,
housekeeping. On returning to his shanty one day, he
found a wolf on the roof eating the heifer's skin which he
had thrown there, to be, as he supposed, out of the way of
such pilferers. At another time, he came home and
noticing, at a little distance, that the door was slightly ajar,
he cautiously advanced, and pushing wide open the door,
an Indian sprang up, rifle in hand, and quickly leveled the
deadly instrument at his breast, at but a few feet distant ;
but before the Indian could fire Mr. Lyman sprang upon
him, wrenched the rifle from his hands and quickly over-
powered him. The Indian had learned enough of our
language to find words to plead for his life ; and, although
he was an old offender, he was dismissed in peace.
Mr. Lyman was a man of good talents who took a promi-
nent part in all the aflairs of the new settlement, particu-
larly all that pertained to the welfare of his fellow m* n.
The poor found in him a helping, sympathizing friend.
His fund of information was extensive and varied. A man
of sterling integrity : he repeatedly filled ofiices of trust
and honor. He was born 1784 or 1785, and died 1842 la-
mented by all who knew him.

12 Rev. Orange Lyman^, son of David^, Davld^, Bichard*,
Richard^, HichaixP, Richard^, was a Presbyterian minister,
educated at Williams College, receiving his diploma from
President E. Fitch ; he studied theology with Rev. Dr. Por-
ter, of Catskill, ]Sr. Y., where he made many warm friends,
among whom was Rev. Samuel J. Mills. Mr. Lyman
was married Sept. 13, 1814, to a sister of a classmate and
dear friend, Chester Dewey, late of Rochester, IST. Y.,
and for many years professor in Williams College, and
in the Rochester University. His wife's name was Maria
Dewey, dau. of Stephen Dewey of Sheffield, Berkshire
Co., Mass., who reared a large family of children. She
is still living Jan., 1870. Mr. Lyman was a man of
great energy of character, sterling worth and eminent
Descendants of Richard. 137
piety. He enjoyed the acquaintance, friendship and con-
tidence of a very large number of the best men of his
time ; prompted by a desire to do the greatest amount of
good, and having a fondness for rural life, he chose the life
of a pioneer in the work of the ministry, and from the
time when the west meant western New York state, after-
wards in north-eastern Ohio, and in the evening of his
life in northern Illinois, he was always one of the foremost
in the good cause. His wife, one of Berkshire's most
gifted daughters, always held up his hands; and his home,
though sometimes only a log house, was always graced by
her presence and presented the charms of a refined 'New
England home. His latch string was always out, and
hundreds of weary brother ministers have found their
toilsome life cheered and made bright by only a briet
sojourn under his hospitable roof. He was gifted with a
very rare fund of anecdotes, always appropriate, and the
writer has often, when a boy, sat for hours and listened,
as he and some dear old classmate or other cherished
friends sat around that cheerful fire, and told over the
days of long ago. He died at the good old age of 71,
beloved and respected by all who knew him.

14 Norman Lyman^ 6th son of Davi<f, 1787-1850, who
was b. in Torringford, Litchfield Co., Ct., possessed remark-
able and sterling traits of character, deserving a record in
this place.
Dr. Lyman was b. in the parish of Torringford, in Litch-
field county, on 6th of September, 1787, and d. in the 64th
year of his age. He early distinguished himself at school by
his great proficiency, being for one year at school, after
which, by his unassisted application, he prepared himself for
entering the junior class at college. After obtaining his
profession, with the cares of a family, and the pressure of
a large professional business, he found time to prosecute
140 Lyman Genealogy.
his classical and matbematical stadies, until he had attained
the full college course, and made himself one of the most
perfect scholars of his time. At the age of 24 years, Dr.
Lyman was licensed to practice medicine, by a board of cen-
sors ; and in 1831, received the honorary degree of doctor of
medicine, from Yale College, at the recommendation of the
president and fellows of the Connecticut Medical Society.
Dr. Lyman was endowed with faculties of mind which
fitted him for eminence in his profession. He possessed
great powers of memory. When he commenced tjae study
of the Latin and Greek languages, he committed to memory
the whole grammar and'small dictionaries of these languages ;
and, what would have been to other men a task too irksome
to be borne, was to him an easy attainment; his memory
was as retentive as it was strong; for we are told, that
when a boy, in learning and reading the Bible and Psalm
Book, they were so fully committed, that he could recite
most of the Testament and every psalm and hymn in the
Hymn Book, by giving him the number or first line. And
in reading the Greek Testament, with a Latin translation
he so read U, that he could recite the whole Testament in
the Latin, Greek, and English languages, to the time of
his death, and was so familiar with the Greek and Latin
classics, that he could recite whole pages, often putting
to the blush those who had received a full collegiate edu-
cation, by his accuracy in classical literature. His strong
and retentive memory, made him the repository of all the
great facts and discoveries, both in the natural and medi-
cal world, for the last forty years. It enabled him to
gather up all the different systems and theories of medical
writers, and the most successful treatment of diseases, from
the earliest annals of medicine, to the present time. He
remembered every case of any importance, which he had
ever seen, and most of which he had heard. He practised
successfully, for about seventeen years, in Glastenbury, Con-
necticut, and for the last twenty-two years, in the town
of Warren ; making thirty-nine years in which he had con-
stantly been engaged in the ordinary duties of his pro-
fession. He had thus accumulated a vast fund of medical
knowledge, and tested the correctness of difterent systems of
the treatment of diseases, by his own large experience.
His mind was, therefore, one great store-house of know-
ledge, in which nothing was ever lost, but so arranged that he
could at all times, make those treasures available, by calling
them to his aid, on any emergency. His apprehension had

the rapidity of electricity. He saw at a glance the whole
case before him iu all its bearings ; and his far-seeing eye
detected at the outset, the point of danger, and he guarded it
with the most consummate skill and fidelity, until the
danger was past. Hence, in the result of a case, he was
never taken by surprise.

and then learned the trade of carpenter and wheelwright.
In 1789, he removed with his wife and a young child from
Lebanon to ^Norwich, Yt,, with an ox team. In their new set-
tlement they endured the hardships incident to pioneer life,
living in a log cabin for several years, and then removing
into their framed house, in December, before it had been
enclosed with boards without, or duly finished within to
protect them from the inclemency of the winter. Here, in
frugal piety, they lived to a good old age, and died in the
hope of heaven through grace divine, leaving all their
children in the enjoyment of the same Christian hope.

From Mr. John Lyman we have the following account of frontier
life in Potter Co., Penn. William Ayers moved into Potter county,
the fall of 1808, six miles east of Condersport, the county seat of
Potter Co. In 1809, Major Isaac Lyman obtained the agency of the
land of John Keating & Co., who owned 130,000 acres of land in
the county. Mr. Lyman had 150 acres given him, and each of hissons,
50 acres. The first fifty families that settled on their land had fifty
acres each by settling thereon, building a house and clearing five
acres and residing thereon five years, then they were entitled to a
deed, and as much more land as they wished to purchase at two
dollars per acre. In Nov., 1809, Mr. Lyman came from Tioga Co.,
into Potter Co., 42 miles, and laid up a log house twenty by twenty-
two feet, put on a roof of shingles four feet long and built up the
gable end with the same, split slabs out of pine logs, dressed them
Descendants of Richard. 149
"with a narrow axe and laid the lower floors, cut out a place for a
door and openings for two windows, for two six lighted windows, and
laid three-fourths of the upper floor ; this was the situation of his
house when he moved into it the 16th of March, 1810, at night,
with his family, consisting of ten in numher. There was not a bushel
of grain nor any meat, except wild game, elk, deer, panthers, bears,
and wolves; we had to haul our provisions from fifty to seventy-five
miles over a very bad road, and some brought on pack horses ; where
night overtook us there was our tavern, we made our own fires,
cooked our own victuals, made our own bed on the ground of hem-
lock boughs. The landlord was very generous, charged us nothing,
but yet the hardships and privations were many. He was married
the 10th of Sept., 1812, began life with nothing, having poor health
for four years, has had a family of twelve children, and by the
help of Grod is yet alive waiting for the Lord's time to call him home.

We give this family in Lock Haven, Pa., a place here
because they seem to be related to the lineage of Major
Isaac Lyman.
The tradition of the family is that their grandfather Elea-
zer was a son of one Major Lyman, an officer of the Re-
volution, that this Eleazer, b. in Mass. m. Betsey Raymond —
that he removed to Tioga Co., N. Y., where he lived a
farmer until 1850. They had 3 sons and 6 daughters.
One of these sons wasEleazer, Jr., the father ofthe present
family, who m. Sally Payne said to be from Mass. The
issue of this marriage was 4 sons and 2 daughters. He
removed to Alleghany Co., and studied medicine, and then
established himselfin Great Bend, Susquehannah Co., Pa.,
as a physician and surgeon. He was killed by his horse at
the age of 42 in 1845. His wife d. in 1839.
A sister of this Dr. Lyman m. Ex-Governor Blair of
Michigan.
The oldest son of Dr. Lyman, C. A. Lyman, Esq., a
lawyer in Lock Haven, enlisted in 1861 as Capt. of a Co.,

in the 7th Pa. B,. C, and participated in many of the great
battles ofthe Peninsula and the Potomac, and was promoted
to the rank of Maj. and Col. He is 51 years of age and
has a family of six children.
The second son, C. E. Lyman, is a mechanic and manu-
facturer. Another brother with himself and his son en-
listed early in the war ofthe rebellion all distinguished for
their bravery in many battles, the brother and son were killed
when leading the forlorn hope in storming Fort Fisher.
The surviving brothers were frequently raised in rank for
their dauntless courage and effective service in many
battles, never laying down their arms until victory was
achieved and the rebellion quelled.
Few families have a more patriotic and honorable record.
Some one, we hope, more fortunate than ourselves, will
be able to establish their true relations to their kindred,
whom all the Lyman family would gladly welcome to their
brotherhood.

geon to the Third U. S. Colored Regiment, being the
first surgeon appointed to a colored regiment, by the
president of the United States, and in accepting this
position, joined hands with a brave set of ofl&cers, men
who were not only willing to face the black flag, by the
side of black men, but also to face public opinion that
• their country might be truly free. He was at the battle
of 2d Bull Run, Antietam, and on Morris Island, where
many of the regiment were killed and wounded, in pushing
forward our works, against Fort Wagoner, which it will
be remembered the " rebels " " slid out of" in the night.
Here he was taken with typhoid fever, and after a
severe and protracted illness on account of which he was
sent to Hospital in Beaufort, and in Jan., 1864, received
an honorable discharge on account of physical disability.

13 William Lyman^, Jonathan^ Jonathan*, Richard?,
Bichara^, Richard}, 1738-1827; m. Mary Parker of Lebanon,
Feb. 12, 1761, "by Rev. Solomon Williams, D.D." . Re-
sided in Lebanon, was a farmer, tanner and currier, also a
shoemaker, &c. He was an esteemed member of the
Congregational church, and during his latter days mani-
fested the zeal, faith, and submission of a ripe Christian.
In his advanced age, he was accustomed to go to church
in a "one horse shay," driving for many years the same
old black horse. The horse declined faster than his mas-
ter, and was put upon the superannuated list, but his habits
had become fixed and he would still go to meeting. If
confined on the sabbath he manifested great uneasiness,
and when the gate was opened, trotted down to the meeting
house and stood at his post until the meeting ended ; -and
then returned remaining in perfect contentment while
going to church regularly on the sabbath. A horse in
Amherst, Mass., well known to the author, for many years,
conveyed an aged couple to meeting in a similar " shay"
repeatedly going without a driver by similar force of
habit, stopping at the horse block, then going to the stall.
In the life time of Mr. Lyman a heated controversy arose
in Lebanon about the location of a church, which illustrates
the spirit of the times; and, with circumstantial variations,
stands as an exampleof controversies often enacted in JSTew
England, on similar occasions.
In the height of their excitement one party set fire to
the old " meeting-house," but failing in their object, the
other party committed an equal sacrilege on the old church
with their axes, breaking up the pews and hewing the
18

timbers. On the sabbath following, the contending parties
met in the school house for public worship. Their pastor
proposed to these discordant assailants of himself and his
church to sing the 74th Psalm as paraphrased by Dr. Watts :
Will Grod forever cast us off?
His wrath forever smoke ■
Against the people of his love
His little chosen flock ?
How are the seats of worship broke !
They tear the building down ;
And he that deals the heaviest stroke
Procures the chief renown.
With flames they threaten to destroy
Thy children iti their rest,
Come, let us burn at once, they cry
The temple and the priest.
The chorister, an active agent in the sacrilege, confused
and trembling, set his pitch pipe, the tuning instrument of
the day, upon B flat, and sounded the note, but had no
voice to lead the song. The result was that two churches
were erected a mile apart, and two feeble antagonistic as-
semblies formed, who might have remained a powerful
central church harmoniously meeting for worship in the great
congregation age after age.

32 Eev. William Lyman^, D.D., of Millington, a parish
in the town of East Haddam, Conn, son of William Lyman
of Lebanon, Conn., b. at Lebanon, 6th Sept., 1764, educated
at Yale College where he graduated m the class of 1786,
served a brief term as tutor in his alma mater. He was a
chaplain with the troops under Gen. Shepard, during the
Shays rebellion.
Dr. Lyman was a man of uncommon bodily strength ;
and 288fe)S. weight.
He settled in Millington in the year 1784, where he re-
mained thirty-six years in an uninterrupted pastorate. He
afterwards removed to western ITew York, where he con-
tinued ministerial labors, in the churches of Mount Morris
and Le Roy for a time. He died at Arcade, K. Y., in Nov.,
1832.
At his installation in Millington he was quite young, in
fact, and still younger in appearance. His trial sermon
before the ordaining council, was highly satisfactory, in-
somuch that a member ventured the suggestion that a more
experienced hand than his had been employed upon it.
Mr. Lyman was a good preacher and was made more
impressive by the uncommon compass of his voice. He
was never fatigued by speaking. He has been known to
speak nine hours in a day. The power of his voice was a

quality that aided to individualize him. When it fell to
him to preach the "election sermon" at Hartford, a gentle-
man on his way to that city invited his neighbor in Far-
mington to go with him to hear and see the proceedings.
" 'No," said he, " I am very busy, but when the hour comes,
I am going up into the mountain to hear the sermon" — 10
miles distant.
Dr. Lyman sat as a prince in his parish in virtue of the
influence that he had fairly earned, and a remnant is still
left of those who ardently cherish his memory. Many of
his occasional sermons were published. Some of them re-
main in the memory of his people. Upon a funeral occa-
sion, when there was no preacher present, a lady who had
committed to memory one of Dr. Lyman's funeral sermons,
upon invitation, repeated it, and thus all the proper rites of
the occasion were filled. He m. Rhoda Huntington, Dec.

Japan, son of Charles Otis Shepard and Rhoda H. Ly-

He enlisted in the early days of the rebellion, and was soon
promoted to a lieutenancy, in which capacity he served
during the war. His aptness as a drill-master and clerk
led to heavy drafts upon his energies. He returned home
to Buffalo. He labored in the organization of the " frontier
police, " and enstamped upon that organization the se?l of
his genius. He became a colonel. He threw himself il.^o
the canvass, which resulted in the election of Gen. Grant to
the presidency. Under the administration to whose ac-
cession he had contributed, he was appointed consul at
Japan, to reside at Yedo. The running down of the
U. S. ship Oneida off the coast of Japan, called the consul
to vigorous but unsuccessful efforts to save the crew. In the
disaster by explosion at Yedo, in which Missionary Cornes,
his wife and child were destroyed, Consul Shepard ex-
erted himself to better effect. When Hon. W. H. Seward
visited Japan, the pleasure of entertaining him, on account
of sickness in the family of the American minister, de-
volved upon Consul Shepard; and thus, when Mr. Seward
went into the presence of the Mikado, Mr. Shepard was
also admitted — an honor never before attained by one of
his rank. Mr. Shepard, though the youngest, is one of the
most efficient and useful of American consuls.

83 Rev. Huntington Lyman'', was the 2d son of Rev.
William Lyman, D.D., of Millington, where he was b.
April 25, 1803. His parents desired to give him a colle-
giate education, and to that end some progress was made
in the study of the Latin classics. Pecuniary stringency
following the war of 1812, however, interrupted the plan,
and Huntington entered a clerkship opened to him by his
older brother in Sparta, and in Moscow, ]^. Y. After
completing his apprenticeship he became a partner of that

brother, and pursued a prosperous business for seven years
in China, 1^. Y. At this stage of his life he became in
the military line, inspector of brigade.
In 1831, the Amer. S. School Union being desirous to
fill the valley of the Mississippi with Sunday schools, in-
vited Mr. Lyman to enter their service and to have charge
of the Sunday school depository at New Orleans ; which
he did. The influence of the climate was unfriendly and
compelled him after severe sickness to abandon his posi-
tion and return to a northern latitude.
On his way, he met at Cincinnati, friends who had
gathered with the purpose of entering Lane Seminary
which was awaiting the arrival of Dr. Beecher and other
professors. The proposal was here niade to Mr. Lyman,
to join those who were to constitute the first theological
class of the new institution. Although the difficulties in
the way of this step were great, they were overcome.
After spending a short time in the preparatory course,
Mr. Lyman was admitted as a member of the first formed
class of that seminary, not on a college diploma but on the
score of " general attainments."
Two years of happy sociality and earnest study under
beloved teachers ensued.
American slavery was at that day an apple of discord
and a theme of public debate. The institution was anti-
slavery in all its parts, but it was divided upon the question
of colonization. A great majority of the students were
for unconditional abolition, and opposed to the scheme of
colonization. This clifiference, through the action of the
executive committee became the occasion of a rupture.
The executive committee, persons unknown to the students
prepared a code of laws which a majority of the students,
thought oppressive, and decided not to enter for another
term under them. Mr. Lyman was one of those who for
this cause took letters of dismission.
He immediately became a member of Oberlin Theologi-
cal Seminary, where he completed his studies. He was
ordained in 1836. He accepted a commission from the
American Anti-slavery Society, and as a lecturer, performed
for it, in stormy times, a brief service. Then he became
pastor of a church in Bufl'alo, ]^. Y. In 1845, he re-
moved to the territory of Wisconsin. As a home mis-
sionary, he spent at Sheboygan the greater part of the
fifteen years of his life in that region. Returning in 1860,
to New York, he has up to this date, 1872, devoted him-

career, which opened with much promise, he was compel-

the duties of the profession he so much loved, only to be

she met the usual throng in Broadway, all going, as she
supposed, to the Bible meeting. Her own disappointment being is

turned by a look of curiosity while the crowd swept on. ",

17^ Lyman Genealogy,
153 Joseph Lyman^, William^, Joseph^, William^, Jona-
than^, Jonathan^, Richard?', Richard^, Richard^. The martial
character of the sons of William Lyman of Iowa, is worthy
of record. Three of his sons served against the rebellion
with Iowa troops, bravely and with distinction. The two
younger sons were not old enough to serve at the com-
mencement of the war.
Joseph, however, the eldest, enlisted as a private at the
breaking but of the war. Failing to secure a position in
the 1st Iowa Regt. of Infantry, the company to which
Joseph belonged, became a part of the 4th Iowa Cavalry
as " Co. E.'^ After serving as private and corporal of
cavalry until Nov., 1862, a commission came unexpectedly
from the Gov. appointing him adjutant of the 29th Regt.
of Infantry, which he accepted. He was the youngest
officer, and, with few exceptions, the youngest man in the
Regt. The only vacancy occurring in the offices above him
was that of major, to which by general voice, Mr. Lyman
was promoted. In 1864, Maj. Lyman was in the staff of
Gen. S. A. Rice, and was by the side of that officer when
he received his mortal wound. During the last year of the
war Maj. Lyman served as adjutant general in the staff
of Maj. General F. Steele. Major Lyman was mustered
out of service in 1865, after the surrender of the rebel armies.
Desirous to retain him in the military service, a commission
in the regular army was sent him which he declined. Maj.
Lyman was in very active service which led him, with the
exception of N. and S. Carolina and Va., into all the rebel
states. Aside from frequent skirmishes the following is the
list of battles in which he participated, Helena, Ark.,
July 4, 1863; Little Rock, Sept. 10, 1868; Terre Noir
Creek, April, 1864; Prairie De Anne, April 1864; Cam-
den, April, 1864 ; Saline River, April, 1864 ; Bluff Springs,
Fl., March, 1865; siege of M,obile^ April 29, 1865. During
more than four years service at the front Maj. Lyman was
never wounded, though he had two horses killed under him.
Sereno and William, brothers of the foregoing Major
Lyman, becoming of sufficient age, enlisted in 1864 in Co.
C, in the same — 24th Regt. — with their brother, where they
served to the end of the war, A commission as captain of
a negro company was tendered to Sereno, which, as it in-

19 Rev. Joseph Lyman'', D.D., of Hatfield, was b.
April 14, 1749, at Lebanon, and was the son of Jonathan and ip
Bethia Lyman. He m. Oct. 15, 1772, Hannah Hunting- •
ton, dau. of Simon and Sarah of Lebanon, Ct. Graduated
at Yale, in 1769, with high honors. After a popular tu-
torship there, he was ordained 4th March, 1772, pastor of
the Congregational church in Hatfield, Mass., where, for '■
over half a century he served the church and society, with ^
great ability, and wielded a marked influence among the ^
ministry and churches of western Massachusetts. He used
to ascribe much of his pastoral success, to his wife, whose
ruling aim seemed to be, to promote his usefulness. He
was one of the most commanding men in the ministry, in
his day ; and in nothing of a worldly nature, did he show
more power over his contemporaries, than in giving shape
to pulpit influence, during our Revolutionary struggle. His
colleague, Rev. D.r. Waterbury, late of Boston, speaking
of him, as he was in the last two years of his life, makes
this just estimate of his character, and this is said after he
had passed into a state of bodily infirmity, which, to use
his forcible language, " gave to him, the aspect, somewhat,
of a magnificient ruin. The heavy column, and the broad
span of the arch, told, even in their dilapidation, the scale
of grandeur, upon which the whole structure had been
reared. The Roman cast of his features, his expressive
eye, his simplicity of language, and manner, struck me
very forcibly upon my first introduction to him." "This
great and good man" d. March 27, 1828. He had seven
children, only two of which survived him.
For 56 years Dr. Lyman was pastor of the church in
Hatfield ; a man of mark in his day, of great originality
and decision of character, he exerted for many years a com-
manding influence in the state, especially in ecclesiastical
councils, in settling controversies in the churches and
theological discussions; many candidates for the ministry
resorted to him for instruction in theology. From 1823
to 1826 he was president of the A. B. C. F. M.; the degree
ofS. T. D., he received from Williams College. Many
anecdotes are related of him illustrative of his character
and influence, of which the following may be given :
While he was ever true and faithful to the gospel, he
was roused to great zeal and activity in promoting the re-
volution which resulted in the independence of our country.
He was associated with Caleb Strong and Isaiah Thomas
in writing and publishing letters of the most stirring cha-

racter. ISTor did he fail in private, or in public, to exert
all his powers in rousing and keeping alive the patriotism
of the people. But his actions and his utterances, in this
direction, did not fail to awaken opposition. A leading
man of the parish was of different politics, and, of course,
became indignant that his young minister should thwart
and counteract him. Able to bear it no longer, he came
one day into the parson's study, and, in an excited manner,
exclaimed, "Mr. Lyman, I have gotten you here as my min-
ister, and now you rise up against me. I shall not bear it."
Mr. Lyman at once arose, assuming an attitude, at least
as erect and commanding as his assailant, and said : " Sir,
you have governed this town, and to a great extent, the
county for a long time, but I now inform you there is one
you will never govern." The rebuker, wrathful but abashed,
hastened out Of the room. But to his credit, be it said,
after a little time he returned with an apology, and showed
his nobility by saying: "Mr. Lyman, I shall ever honor your
independence, and be more your friend than ever on account
of it."
" Very soon after my own settlement in the ministry,"
says a cotemporary, " Dr. Lyman stopped for a few minutes
at my house, saying as he came in, ' I am an Old Testa-
ment man, and call on ministers.' This was the introduc-
tion to my acquaintance with one whom I ever found
cordial, interesting and instructive to an uncommon degree.
What I particularly remember of his first call was, that
after the door was quite closed at his departure, he came
back and said, in a fatherly but most impressive manner,
'You are beginning the ministry, and I want to give you
one charge ; always make Saturday noon your last limit
for the full preparation of your sabbath sermons. Do this
that you may relax, and refresh yourself in the afternoon ;
have your nerves in such a state that you can sleep; and
be in a proper physical condition for the labors of the pul-
pit.'
" I will add that my own experience, and the contrary
experience of many of my brethren, have fully confirmed
me in the wisdom and importance of the rule thus given
me at my front door, more than fifty years ago."

that purpose, it was proposed that a committee should

accordingly attended to the settlement, and found, that
there were certain suras left unpaid for the last sixteen
years, which several sums, with the interest upon each to
the time of settlement amounted to the sum of three
thousand and three hundred dollars, Mr. Lyman, then told
the committee, if they would give him a note for three
hundred dollars he would cancel the obligation.

225 Daniel Lyman'', M.D., was born in Woodstock,
Ct., Sept. 5, 1784, and what is a little remarkable, was taken
to church on the day of his birth — it being the sabbath —
and baptized by his father Eliphalet Lyman who was pastor
of the Congregational church in that village for 40 years.
Daniel fitted for college in the Woodstock Academy, and at
the time of his death was the only living memberof the first
class which left that institution. He entered Yale about
the year 1805. He stood high in that institution as a
scholar, took an active part in debate and other exercises
connected with some one of the literary societies which
flourished there. During the latter part of his senior year
he was attacked with an afl'ection of the heart, which ne-
cessitated his laying aside his studies for some months, so

that he failed to graduate with his class. He pursued a re-
gular course in the medical department of Dartmouth under
the instruction of the celebrated Dr. Smith. He was a re-
markably apt scholar to whatever department of study he
turned his attention. He commenced the practice of medi-
cine and surgery in his native village, about the year 1809
or 1810, in which calling he had a wide and very successful
practice for 40 years. He administered to the bodies of
his fellow citizens of the surrounding region, for almost
the identical period of time which it was the privilege of
his honored father to prescribe for their spiritual maladies.
He made a specialty of cases of epilepsy in the treatment
of which he had remarkable success, having patients from
every state of the Union. And he was not without honor
in other departments : beheld the office of judge of probate
for several successive terms, during which time he had the
decision of several very intricate cases. One case in par-
ticular on which he could get no light from high authority
which he consulted, he at length decided according to his
best judgment, which judgment was afterward confirmed
and made the law of the state in such cases by legislative
enactment. He had an almost intuitive perception and
insight, into the merits of any matter brought before
him. He was justice of the peace for many years. He
feared no man. No flatteries, no bribes, no insinuations,
no threats could move him a hair's breadth from what
he considered a straight line. Of firm nerve, of undaunted
courage, he was a terror to evil doers. He entered
heartily into all matters of public, social, civil, or religi-
ous interest. In temperance he early advocated the princi-
ple of total abstinence, and delivered a stirring address
in his own town in 1835, in which he advocated this plat-
form as the only safe one. An earnest Christian, a zealous
patriot, he possessed a clear head, a guileless heart, a
tender conscience : he has left to his children the precious
legacy of a good name. He was united in m. June 26, 1811,
with Miss Frances M. Eldridge, of Brookline, Conn., and

This branch is represented in the ministry of every e
church from the democratic Congregational to the imperial
Roman Catholic inclusive. Two families have educated
each two sons for the ministry; and another, three for the
same office. Those only, who, with the control of moderate
means, have battled with the task of educating publicly
their sons, can appreciate the zeal and persistence required
for its accomplishment.
Almost, without exception, the Lymans have survived the
severities of their curriculum, and emerged from their col-
lege course, mens sana in corpore sano, sound in body and in
mind. As a characteristic illustration it may be remarked
that the colonial laws of college were very different from
those which are borne by republican students of the pre-
sent day. One of those old laws having a reference to the
proper dignity of the seniors, allowed that class to exact
menial service from the freshmen. The freshmen split
wood, made fires, brushed boots, and carried parcels for
their superiors. A pompous senior, as his classmate passed
his door, said to him, " Lyman, as you are going by the ■ ^
cricket ground, please send me a dozen freslimen." Mr.
Lyman executed the order to the letter and was at
pains to wait until the full number of freshmen was found
and marshalled. When they presented themselves at his
188 Lyman Genealogy.
door, the senior was taken aback by the array. All the
errand he could make, was, the conveyance of his six
pieces to the laundress.
Other incidents of college life are omitted for want of
space.

The Hearth and Home, of March 17, 1871, wbi eh contains
one of the best likenesses of Mr. Lyman, says of him that :
"ISTomanhad warmer friends and none better deserved
them, while few could command so great respect from those
opposed to measures he advocated. His unremitting labors
undoubtedly caused the acute disease which hurried him to
the grave. With ordinary work to do, he seemed to have
tlie constitution of an octogenarian, and himself expected
long life. But he murmured not when the summons came —
his life had been a preparation for a better sphere.

know and appreciate his labors. As a slight tribute to his
memory, their corporate authorities passed each a series of
resolutions, and attended his funeral at Middlefield. One
of the 'New Haven resolutions was as follows :
" Resolved, That in the death of David Lyman, the public
at large are called upon to deplore the loss of a true man, emi-
nently faithfol in the discharge of every duty; attending to
eve"ry trust committed to his care ; genial, earnest, full of
hope, inspiring others with his enthusiasm ; who carried
to substantial completion that great enterprise, the Air
Line Railroad, a work of inestimable benefit to this city, and
which will ever endure as a monument to him, illustrative
of his sagacity, perseverance, and indomitable energies."
The magnetism of the man was something remarkable.
He inspired all with whom he came in contact, with his
own enthusiasm and with interest and confidence in him-
self. He had that "hopeful, buoyant temper," that
" cheerfulness and hopefulness which are reported to be-
long to the real Lyman stock," and to which Henry Ward
Beechei", himself a Lyman in part, alluded in a character-
istic letter to the Lyman gathering at iN^orthampton, in
1869.
Too soon has the grave closed over him. In the prime
of life, in the midst of his usefulness, with the most pro-
mising future before him, he is cut down, a sacrifice to the
work he had undertaken. Less than a week before his
death, he left his home against the wishes of his family to at-
tend to important railroad business. He returned to it
never to leave it alive. His disease was typhoid fever,
which progressed favorably until congestion of the lungs
set in, which proved fatal. Of his own knowledge he was
soon conscious of approaching dissolution ; and, as was said
by an eye-witness of the scene, "he set about the business of
dying as about a rail road or any other business that had to
be done." He was completely self-possessed to the last,
his mind clear and composed to an unwonted degree. Dur-
ing the last few hours he was unable to articulate, but con-
tinued to communicate his thoughts and wishes by writing.
He was in no pain, as he frequently signified by words or
signs. He retained something of his great physical strength
to the end, the grasp of his hand, only a few minutes be-
fore his death, seeming as powerful as ever, while his smile
was quite the same that had won so many hearts. He
breathed his last, with pencil in hand, endeavoring to com-
plete a few more cheering words to surviving friends.

spicuous instance of great capacity, fidelity and success In
the discharge of the difficult and responsible duties con-
fided to him by the deceased under the will, and calls for
the commendation of this court. We have rarely known
an instance of such faithful, conscientious, and accurate
performance of the duties of a trustee ; and in view of the
fact that trust estates are so often, through incompetency
or unfaithfulness, wasted, we feel it our duty to give the
conduct of this trustee the marked approval of this court."
Mr. Lyman's chief business, from which he received, for
ten years previous to his death, a large annual income,
was the manufacture of clothes-wringers by a manufactur-
ing company, in which he held a controlling interest. For
the last four years, however, he had had little to do with
its active management, his whole time having been com-
pletely absorbed — so completely as to have shortened his
days — by his interest in the new line of railroad from
New Haven to Middletown, and thence to Willimantic,
the aim of which was, by connecting the two points of
New Haven and Willimantic, to form a shorter line be-
tween New York and Boston. To build a rail road is not
usually difficult when the money is at hand, but financial
matters in this case were not the chief difficulties to be en-
countered. The Connecticut river was to be bridged at
Middletown, and to this the most powerful interests in the
state were opposed. The river towns above the proposed
bridge; the competing lines of rail road already in exist-
ence ; and, more than all, the city of Hartford, the city
par excellence of judicious care for its own interests, were
the parties the new rail road would have to contend with,
and which twenty years before had defeated the very pro-
ject Mr. Lyman proposed to accomplish. A man of less
pluck, less ability, and less enthusiasm and hope, would
have stopped even before he had begun. For two years
he worked before the Connecticut legislature for a charter
for the bridge and failed. The interests against him were
too powerful for any one man or corporation. But nothing
daunted, he went to Congress, and obtained the right to
bridge the river, and the work was commenced. How he
has labored since then, through doubt and discouragement,
through evil and good report, through the lukewarmness
of friends, and the open attacks of enemies, cannot be nar-
rated here. All admit, friends and foes, that nobody else
could have built the road at this time, or during the present
generation. The two cities of Middletown and New Haven

David Lyman^ was b. in Middlefield, Conn., then a part
of Middletown, Conn,, on the 19th of October, 1820 ; and d.
in Middlefield, 24th of Jan., 1871, at the a^^e of 50 years
and .3 months. From the numerous biographical notices
which appeared in the journals of New Haven, Hartford,
Middletown, and other places, we select and abridge the
following, published in The Free Press of Bennington, Vt.,
Feb. 4, 1871:
From his parents, persons of uncommon physical vigor,
of more than ordinary intellectual capacity, and of the
strongest moral and religious convictions, Mr. Lyman in-
herited a permanent capital in the business of living a good
life — that sound, physical, mental and moral constitution
which has stood him in so good stead through his emi-
nently useful career. He received in his youth what was
then considered a good common school education, supple-
mented by a little academical instruction. At the age of
nineteen he was sent by the Messrs. Trowbridge of New
Haven to Kentucky to purchase mules for the West India
market, and by them and the house of Alsop & Chaun-
cey of New York, was kept at this work for some years.
For a short time he followed it too on his own account.
At twenty-seven he was appointed to the trusteeship of a
large estate, and, by the conditions of the will of the testa-
tor, was not required to give the bonds usual in such cases.
In the management of this trust, which he held up to the
time of his death, his great capacity for business was con-
stantly called into requisition. Not long after his accept-
ance of the trust, a legal controversy arose concerning
certain dispositions of the will. This controversy ran
through the highest courts of Connecticut and New York,
and the U. S. Circuit Court for the District of Connecticut.
At the end of ten years of expensive litigation, in which
some of the most distinguished lawyers of the land had
been employed on one side or the other. Judge Nelson of
the U. S. Supreme Court, in giving a decision in the case
at New Haven, said of him : " His conduct presents a con-

great intelligence and extensive reading; dignified in man-

that he and some others were influenced in their opinions
by the writings of Priestly and Price. So much pleased
was Mr. Jefferson with him, that he gave him an invitation

ingenious beyond most of mankind, he received while in
England a military commission, and, a little before the
commencement of the American war, was required to
join his regiment at Boston. He continued in the army
until 1782; and then, with a heart nearly torpid with
disappointment, sold his commission and came to Suf-
jfield," where his fine mind " languished into lethargy
and insensibility," and ere long " he fell a victim to this
mental consumption." — Dwight's Travels, i, 280. *

of Derby which, since 1798, has formed the town of Ox-

as captain of a company. The following records may show
in what consideration he was held :
To all persons to whom these presents shall come, I Samuel
Wheeler send greeting. Know ye that I y^ said Samuel Wheeler
of Oxford, in Derby, ia the county of New Haven and colony of
Connecticut in New England, do for, and in consideration of love,
good will and respect which I have, and do bare towards the Rev.
Mr. Jonathan Lyman, pastor of the Church of Oxford, in Derby, in
the county and colony aforesaid in New England, have siven and
granted by these presents do fully and clearly and absolutely give
and grant unto the said Rev. Mr. Jonathan Lyman, his heirs and
assigns forever, a certain parcel of land lying in Derby, parish of
Oxford, near the meetinghouse. (^Then follows a description of the
land) : Sept. 10, 1746. April 21, 1747, John Lumm gives him a

battle of Lake George, Sept. 8, 1755, Gen. Johnson having
retired to his tent after " receiving a flesh v^ound in his
thigh at the commencement of the battle," the command
devolved on Gen. Lyman, who, says Dr. Dwight in his
Travels, vol. iii, 349, " immediately stationed himself in
front of the breast-work, and there,- during five hours, amid
the thickest danger, issued his orders to every part of the
army, with a serenity few acquire." At length the French
were repulsed on all sides, and their commander. Baron
Dieskau, an able general, was taken prisoner. Gen. John-
son, though he acknowledged in conversation that the
victory was won chiefly by Gen, Lyman, did not mention him
in his dispatches. The news of the victory arriving in Eng-
land when the government was discouraged by Braddock's
defeat of two months before, n vived the hopes of king and
country, and gave a new turn to the fortunes of the war.
Johnson's claims beingimmediately urged in the right quar-
ter, Lyman's name being as yet unheard of in England, he
received the thanks of parliament, and £5,000, and a baron-
etcy. After the close of the war, which this and other
services of Gen. Lyman had contributed to render success-
ful and glorious, he went to England, where he remained
eleven years and where his solicitations for recognition and
reward were fruitless, or nearly so. He returned in 1774,
cherishing some faint hope of recompense in a projected set-
tlen>ent of Mississippi and the Yazoo lauds ; but d. in 1775,
in West Florida, on his way to the new colony. Besides

failing health, he accompanied his father to West Florida
where he d., and was soon followed to the grave by his
discouraged father. " The next year, 1776," says Dr.
Dwight, Travels^ I, letter xxxi, " Mrs. Lyman, wife
of Gen. Phineas"', together with all the surviving family
except the second son, embarked for the same country,
accompanied by her only brother, Col. Dwight. Within
a few months after their arrival she d., and her brother

West Florida until it was invaded and conquered by the
Spaniards in 1781 and 1782."

Wadsworth, Ohio, who writes to his sister, under date of
Feb. 4, 1869, as follows : " Oar grandfather lost his life in
the following manner : He, with two other men, went
from home on a hunting expedition expecting to be gone
from home several days. It was in the winter. When
they ai-rived at the place where they expected to stop
awhile, it being night, they built a tire against a large
rock, and lay down by it to sleep. While thus situated,
the fire operated on the rock and a very large portion fell
over directly on our grandfather and so badly bruised him
he did not long survive. Father, Caleb", b. 1747, was
then about four years old ; so that the death of Ebenezer^,
first settler of Torriugton, occurred about 1751.

1 Thomas Lyman^, Richard?, Richard^, 1649-1725 ; the
2d son of the 2d Richard; b. in Windsor, Conn., about
1649; moved with his parents to IsTorthampton about
1656, where he rn. 1678, Ruth, widow of Joseph Baker and
daughter of William Holton. By her marriage with Mr.
Baker, in 1663, she had had six children, the eldest of whom,
Joseph, b, Jan. 20, 1665, was, with his father, killed by
the Indians, Oct. 29, 1675. Dea. Thomas^, had, according to
Savage, six children, two of whom — Elizabeth and Enoch —
are mentioned by him alone, and do not appear in the
Durham records. He moved, in 1708 or '9, to Durham,
Conn., which, for three or four generations thereafter, was
the headquarters of this branch of the Lyman family. His
wife Ruth and a part of his children came with him ; he
was one of the early settlers ; one of the first deacons ; a
representative of the town several sessions ; and d. there
July 15, 1725, aged 75. The date of Mrs. Ruth Lyman's
death is unknown. Both signed the covenant pledge at
the settlement of the Rev, l!Tathaniel Chauncey, the first
minister of Durham, Dec. 30, 1710. The letter of dismis-
sion and recommendation from Dr. Solomon Stoddard is
preserved and is here copied : "To Mr. ISTathaniel Chauncey
and the brethren at Durham that are about to enter into a
church state : Ensign Thomas Liman, who is one of your
inhabitants, has desired letters of dismission for himself
and wife, accordingly we do recommend them to your holy
communion ; he is in covenant with us ; she is in full com-
munion; both without ofiense. We desire that God would
make them blessings among you, and prosper your begin-
ings that a foundation may be laid for the conversion and
edification of many, thus requesting your prayers for us,
we remain your brethren in the fellowship of the gospel.

Rev. Luther Wright, son of Luther and Sarah Lyman Wright,
was b. in Easthampton, Nov. 21, 1796, on the spot where he died.
Was fitted for college at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass. Ad-
mitted to Yale College in New Haven, Conn., in 1818. Graduated
in 1822. Was principal of an Academy in Maryland from Sept.
250 Lyman Genealogy.
1822 to Aug., 1824. Began to study, theology in New Haven in
the autumn of 1824. Was tutor in Yale College from March,
1825 to Sept., 1828. Was licensed to preach in 1828. Was for a.
time professor of Latin and Greek in the Military Academy at Mid-
dlelown, Conn. : but after a few months' service resigned the office,
because the place, from its associations with war, was not congenial
to his views and feelings. Was m. Oct. 1829, to Emeline Gregory,
daughter of Samuel and Anne G. Colton of Longmeadow, Mass.,
who died, greatly beloved and lamented, March 6, 1863. Was as-
sociated with Judge Hall, in 1829, in establishing the Classical
School at Ellington, Conn. Was principal of the Academy at Lei-
cester, Mass., from Sept. 1833 to Oct. 1839, when in consequence
of broken health, induced by labors above measure, he resigned his
place, and returned with his family to his native town, in hope of
recovering, if possible, by farm labor, his physical strength, and that
he might nourish, with filial assiduities, his aged father and mother.
He was principal of the Williston Seminary from its opening
Oct. 1, 1841, to July, 1849.
After resigning his place in the Seminary, Mr. Wright was for
several years engaged in giving instruction to private students in
classical learning — a labor of love with him ; and his soul broke for
the longings it had unto it at all times. In the closing day of his
last sickness, amid his wanderings of mind, those who watched
around his bed-side found him fancying himself engaged in his
favorite toil, teaching Greek. It is estimated that in the various
positions held by him as a teacher, he has had under his care and
tuition an aggregate of four thousand pupils. Of these pupils there
are those now occupying positions of eminent usefulness whom we
have heard frankly and thankfully confessing, that for all that they
are and have done, they are indebted, under God, to Luther Wright.
Mr. Wright became a Christian while a member of Yale College,
and joined the church in that institution. His conversion, in
respect of its immediate and instrumental cause, he attributed to
Mr. Nettleton's whispering in his ear the three words, " Be in earn-
est," at an inquiry meeting, in a season of revival in Yale College.
His convictions of sin were pungent, and that thorough " law work "
gave depth and fervor to his piety as seen in after years.
Coming to Easthamptou from Leicester, Mr. and Mrs. Wright
brought letters from the church there, and joined the church
July 5, 1840. He was chosen deacon of this church May 14, 1857,
and continued to discharge the duties of that office till the day of
his death. Was chosen member of the church committee June 28,
1866. Has served during several years as member of the parish
committee. Has been the treasurer of the church since his election
to the office of deacon. Has many times been sent with the pastor
to neighboring churches to serve on ecclesiastical councils.
In his humility he requested that upon his tomb-stone should be
placed no title, but simply his name. And so, in conclusion, as was
Descendants of John. 251
said of Henry Kirke White, I should say of my friend and father —
Luther Wright, " His monument shall be his name alone.''

Deacon James G. Bolles, the husband of Orra A., was the son of
Rev. Matthew Bolles, and was born in Eastford now Ashford, Conn.,
262 Lyman O-enealogy.
Jan. 17th, 1802. When a lad of about fifteen years of age, he went
into the printing ofiice of the Bridgeport Farmer, under the late
Mr. Stiles Nichols, and continued there until he was twenty. Af-
terwards Mr. Bolles was the publisher of the Christian Watcliman
in Boston, but, not finding his physical strength equal to the demand
there made upon it, he came to Hartford about 1825, and engaged
in the dry goods business. Subsequently, he took up Fire Insurance,
as the great business which he made emphatically his life's work,
so far as his secular occupation was concerned. For a number of
years he was the respected secretary of the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company. When the North American Company was organized iu
1857, he was made its president, and held the position for some time.
He was a director of that company at the time of his decease. He
was among the oldest, if not the oldest underwriter in the city.
During the administration of President Lincoln, Mr. Bolles \Ya3
collector of Internal Revenue for the first district in this State ;
but was removed by President Johnson. In 1855, he was elected
major of the Governor's Foot Gruard. Several times Mr. Bolles
traveled in Europe, and he was on the eve of making another tour
with his family, at the time of his decease.
Having been an example of a pure and blameless life, and a
faithful attendant on the duties of religion, his conversion at the
age of 40 years was a remarkable illustration of the reality of the
new and nobler life to which one is born by grace divine. All were
constrained to see and admire the change in Mr. Bolles, to which
all his subsequent life gave witness.
Mr. Bolles was baptized Jan. 24, 1841, and from that date to his
death, he has been a most faithful friend to the church. He was
elected to the deaconship, Feb. 4th, 1845. He gave largely for
the support of the preaching of the gospel, and was glad to have a
share in the benevolent operations of the day. Dea. Bolles was a
generous contributor all our objects of Christian benevolence. In
addition, he left by will, to the First Baptist church $10,000; to
the Connecticut Baptist State Convention, $10,000; to the Con-
necticut Baptist Education Society, $10,000; and to the Hartford
Hospital, $10,000.
Mr. Bolles was a man of great purity of life and uprightness of
character, amiable and gentle in all the relations of life, but firm in
principle. He was a devoted Christian, in connection with the
Baptist church. He was a man generally beloved, his advice was
sought, his counsel was sound and valuable ; he was especially
friendly to young men, and always ready to help them to an honora-
ble start in life. Very many who read this paragraph will recall
his always friendly words, his charity, his kindly manner, his effi-
cient help. He was a man beloved and trusted; true in his' politi-
cal life, true in his friendships, liberal and upright. Hartford owes
its honorable reputation to such men. We profit by his example
and mourn his loss — a Christian gentleman, one of nature's noble-
men, all the more ennobled by grace divine.
Descendants of John, 263
Miss Julia B. Lyman. — The following obituary is abridged frota
that which was presented at the last Reunion of the Lyman Family :
Soft as the lunar ray that sleeps
Upon the bosom of the peaceful lake ;
Or dewy eve distilling sweet
On vernal flowers ; or breath of morn,
On od'rous wings ascending from the east
With melody of birds — so soft and sweet,
Is memory of those we loved.
Forty years ago, and more, you might have seen in one of the
Lyman families of Connecticut, a very slight delicate girl, studious
and accurate as a scholar, sedat3, conscientious, fond of books, but
not given to as abundant use of the tongue, as some of her sex are
reported to be. That fine, quiet, scholarly girl, early formed a lov-
ing attachment to the Lyman name. She never would change that
name for any other. Born in it, she lived and died in it.
She early manifested talent for business : a mind clear, quick,
accurate and retentive. Fortunately for us, while yet a girl, she
became interested in the Lyman genealogy. That interest increased
with the increase of years. She felt, as well she might, that the
Lyman, like many other families, were sustaining a great loss, by a
criminal ignorance and neglect of their worthy ancestors.
It is a noble work to help save a family name from an ignoble
oblivion. She engaged in it with Christian zeal and love, and
persevered in it at the cost of time and money and perhaps of life itself.
The chart of the Lyman family, so highly valued by us, is wholly
the work of her hands. None, save he who has tried it, knows how
much work, hard work, is requisite to prepare such a chart. The
sources of information for it are fourfold : 1st. Ancient colonial
and municipal records. 2d. Old monuments and grave stones. 3d.
Old family and church records. 4th. Old folks of sound memory
and clear mind. All these she consulted as extensively as her
health and strength would permi^, years and years ago. Before
many of us had ever been baptized into the Lyman name, she might
have been seen collecting and correcting these materials, writing
and visiting various places in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Ver-
mont; examining old safi'ron-colored records and parchments,
rubbing off the ancient moss from old tombstones, that she might
read the name and the date thereon, asking for the sacred old
family record, and talking with the " old folks " about persons, that
their childhood memories could recall. All these facts, she would
set down in their order, until she had collected the indisputable
data, out of which, to construct this wonderful chart-wheel,
where we can all trace our own families as belonging to
the branch of Bichard Lyman, who came from High Ongar, to
establish a name in America. Let us remember, too, that all this
was a work of love ; no money tempted her ; she always peremptorily
refused all pecuniary aid. She would not even share with others,
the expense of her journeys and correspondence in this matter.
30
264 . Lyman Genealogy.
She would loorJc, disinterestedly, from love of the work, and love
of the family.
For all we have enjoyed of union and reunion of the Lyman
brotherhood, we are, in no small degree, indebted to her patient,
life-long labors. By the letters she had written, the facts she had
collected, and the interest she had helped to excite in our family
history, she has done more than any one else to create the demand,
among the Lymans, for our reunion, and for such a history as we
hope to have. It is sad to think, that by these assiduous labors, she
hastened her end. Self-sacrifice, and Christian love for others,
seemed the law of her life. She had cast her anchor within the
vail; she died in faith, she sleeps in Jesus, our Lord and Master in
whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named.
The following extract is from the letter of a sister, who speaks
from a full heart :
" The chart she commenced many years ago. When a prospect
opened of a genealogical record of the whole Lyman family, being
combined in a book, her assiduities increased, and her labors ex-
panded. Innumerable notes of names and families multiplied upon
her desk, like leaves of the forest, communicating with persons of
the Lyman name and connection, in almost every part of the Union,
and beyond. They were labors of love, and I know of no other
motive, that ever led her to undertake or carry it on, and though
her frame was slight and delicate, and her health never good, often
very poor, yet she had a fund of mental resolution which induced
her to go on in her efforts, far beyond what she had strength to
sustain. The chart she wrote, and rewrote,, many times, and it was
a work she enjoyed. But the difficulty of getting it rightly en-
graved, was one she could not control, as she could her own hand :
and it saddens me to remember, how severely this work told upon
her health, which was at that time very feeble. After her part of
the work was finished, her health steadily declined ; such intense and
long-continued labor, combined with active disease of body, showed
their sad effects. The last few months of her life were seasons of
great sufferings, which she bore with sweet Christian patience.
"Her views of herself, were very lowly ; but this did not remove
her from the Rock, Christ Jesus, on whom her faith rested. It
may not be thought proper, for one so nearly related, to dilate upon
the excellencies of her character, but, surely, none knew as well as
myself, how beautiful that character was. A person so. disinterested
and so conscientious, is rarely seen ; self-sacrifice was the law of
her life. Life was joyless to her when she could not communicate
some good to some of her kind. Her energies were not all spent
upon the work of which we have been speaking, but scattered all
along her pathway in life, she found many ways of doing good, in a
quiet and unobtrusive manner, and it is a sweet solace to me to be-
lieve that the influence of her lovely example, is not lost in the
little world in which she moved. Her memory will be cherished,
in the hearts of all, who knew her well."

Gen.: (i) William Samuel. (2) Margaret Williston.]
Mr. Williston, sou of Rev. Payson Williston and brother of Hon.
Samuel Williston, entered into business in Northampton as a druggist
and grocer, and later in life was an extensive cotton manufacturer.
Also the original inventor and only manuftxoturer of Payson's indeli-
able ink. In his business he was successful from the start. He was
sagacious and far-seeing, and planned for a campaign of a lifetime,
rather than for the present. Such was his clearness of perception,
his knowledge of correct business principles, and his capacity to
adhere to them, that he seldom if ever, made a failure of any enter-
prise he engaged in. He was a director of the Northampton Bank
for many years, a director of the Holyoke Water Power Co., and at
one time was a selectman of the town.
He early engaged in true temperance reform ; wiis active and promi-
nent in the Washingtonian movement. Bold, defiant, aggressive, he
pursued the evil with tireless zeal, and summoned to his aid whatever
of assistance his wealth could command. During this protracted
coutrover.sy his barn was twice destroyed by an incendiary fire, and
his house likewise fired and partially consumed. His life was an
unfailing testimony to his faith in his temperance principles, for he
practiced himself what he earnestly counseled and demanded of
others.
He was also the early and devoted friend of the anti slavery cause.
This he espoused in its infancy, when it was unpopular and even
obnoxious to the general New England public. Regardless of fear
or favor, he pushed it onward, demanding that slavery should be
discussed and denounced in our halls and pulpits. Here also he
266 Lyman Genealogy.
practiced what he preached, and tlie fleeing fugitive slave, who often
came this way on the route to Canada, found in him a faithful friend.
His roof sheltered, his table fed, his sympathy cheered, his purse
assisted, the fleeing bondman. His house thus became widely known
as one of the depots of the " underground railroad," which conveyed
so many people from a land of slavery to a land of liberty, in fact
rather than in name.
But perhaps Mr. Williston was best known to this community for
his large, though unostentatious charities. In his early years he
espoused the Christian religion, and his long life was conspicuous
for his faithful following of the teachings of Christ. Benevolence ho
regarded as one of the Christian principles, and with religious fidelity
he practiced it. Soon after he entered upon his business life he re-
solved to appropriate whatever he should make each year in excess
of $500, during the period of ten years, to benevolent objects. At
the end of that time, he found he had nothing to give, and he then
resolved to devote to charitable objects one-tenth of his income, be
it more or less. This resolution he more than fulfilled, and during
the later years of his life he gave away in charities his entire income.
The public little know, nor will it ever be apprised of, the full extent
of his charitable contributions, for he gave in secret, and never with
a view to notoriety. The widow, the orphan, the lonely and forsaken
ones, have been helped by him when help was precious. He also
assisted many poor young men to commence business, or aided them
when involved in difficulty. His heart was open and his hand ready
whenever he could see that the call was a worthy one. He also aided
niany young men to educate themselves. He espoused the cause of
a poor colored boy, and educated him at his own expense, until he
graduated at Oberlin College.
Mr. Williston was for a long series of years an active and leading
member of the first church and society in this town, and in 1838 was
chosen one of the deacons of the church, retaining the office to the
day of his decease, a period of 34 years.
Although often at variance with the public in dealing with ques-
tions of policy or principle, he yet retained at all times the entire
respect and confidence of the people. His great boldness, his won-
derful perseverance, his unyielding devotion to whatever he believed
to be right, his hatred of shams and whatever seemed to be false, and
above all, his incorruptible integrity, rendered him a remarkable
power in the community, and his influence here will be felt long after
the present generation shall have passed away. He may truly be
regarded one of the most remarkable men that ever lived in North-
ampton. His was a life of earnest purpose, of courageous efi"ort, of
strict, methodical adherence to principle. Such a life is a life of
power and of lasting influence. Modest, retiring, conscientious and
unswerving in principle, eminently successful in business and unos-
tentatious in his charities, he is an illustrious example of a good and
faithful servant of his Master.
Mr. Williston was m. in March, 1827, to Miss Cecilia, only daugh-
ter of the late Asahel Lyman, of this town, who survives him. Their

Hon. Job Lyman inherited from his Puritan ancestors a rugged
strength of moral principle which served throughout the changes and
vicissitudes of modern skepticism to retain, intact, the early faith of
New England ; a faith, which, however stern in tl- jry, when blended
with the warm, generous impulses of his hea' t, became a religion
that irradiated to the close of the life of the gentle pilgrim ! Exceed-
ing by nineteen years the allotted three score and ten, Mr. Ly-
man illustrated in the ever gentle courtesy of his demeanor, the
dignity of the " old school!" and the daily life of colonial times.
Breaking away from the agricultural and mercantile traditions of
his family, the younger brother made a bold move to secure to him-
self the advantages of a liberal education, and entered Dartmouth
College when he graduated in 1804 ; classmate of Daniel Webster.
He studied law at Windsor and Haverhill, N. H., and located for
the practice of his profession at Woodstock, Vt., where he spent the
prime of an honorable and useful career.
He early became connected with various important public in-
terests ; serving as cashier in the Old Vermont State Bank through-
out its existence, and as president of the Woodstock Bank for many
years.
He was court auditor of Windsor Co., for a long period and a
member of the governor's council. As a member of the Congrega-
tional church, he sustained a prominent position, and in every
relation of life, whether private or public, was known as an indus-
trfous, successful and honest man.
In 1850 he removed to Burlington, Yt, retiring from all business,
to spend the rest of his days in the family of his son Edward, whose
affectionate care, coupled with that of his only daughter, Mrs. Traip,
made pleasant the declining years of life.
Mr. Lyman married a daughter of Judge Lot Hall, of West-
minster, who died, sincerely mourned, seven years previous to the
death of her husband.
268 Lyman G-enealogy.
Mr. Lyman retained to the last his cordial interest in public and
national affairs. Throughout the long and sometimes doubtful struggle
of our late civil war, he remained a cheerful, unwavering supporter of
the government ; and, although too aged and infirm to place him-
self within the lists, sent a stalwart substitute to battle in behalf of
his principles.
One of the most pleasing incidents that marked the last years
of this venerable old man, was his ability to be present at thecentennial
commencement of his alma mater — Dartmouth College — where as
\q oldest graduate present, one of sixty five years' standing, he was
/le most noticed of the Alumni.
' Extreme weakness prevented his attendance at the Lyman pic-nic
the August followinjj;, but his cordial letter of greeting and encou-
ragement was not lacking on that occasion.
He took a lively interest in the growth and prosperity of Burling-
ton and in many charitable institutions, prominent amoug which
was the Home for the Destitute, which realized from his generosity
a tangible and munificent benefit.
He. fulfilled with conscientious strictness his duty as a citizen,
not forgetting the important duty of voting, even when gathering
years might well have excused him.
His last illness was brief, terminating on the 2d day, Sept. 10,
1870. He passed away ripe in years, rich in the garnered ex-
perience of an useful life, known to all as a patriotic and worthy
citizen, a sincere Christian and a friend whose aid and sympathy
were surest when the need was the most pressing ; and those who
have known him long and intimately, felt, in connection with the
purity and gentleness of his heart, that he might well have ex-
claimed with the unfortunate Josephine of France : " I have never
willingly caused a tear to flow."

Vols., and with the 93d at the battles of Shiloh, siege
of Corinth, and battle of Stone river ; resigned on account
of impaired health, became pastor of Euclid St. Church
of Cleveland, 0., May, 1868.
Rev. Dr. 0. A. Lyman, of the Euclid Street Presbyterian church,
Cleveland, Ohio, was struck with paralysis while attending a special
meeting of Presbytery in the Second Presbyterian church. He was
the prosecutor in a trial, which has occupied the attention of the
Presbytery for some time, and he had been engaged for parts of two
days in examining witnesses, and had just made his argument in a
quiet manner, though with some evidence of painful feeling in the
discharge of the duty. While sitting a chair he slipped to the floor,
and when lifted up was found to be entirely paralyzed on his right
side. Excellent medical attendance was immediately at hand, and
he was soon taken to his house. He remained helpless and uncon-
scious till death, and the event produced great pain throughout the
city. He was in the early prime of his powers, and had won the
highest respect of the community.

Elias Lyman, of Burlington, Vermont, was born July 8, 1800,
at Hartford, Vermont, to which place his parents removed from
Massachusetts at an early day. His father, whose name he bore,
and who was the third of that name in direct descent, was a promi-
nent landholder in Vermont. His mother was Anna White of
Hatfield, Mass. Mr. Lyman was the sixth child of a family of
eight sons and five daughters, of whom but three of the former and
one of the latter are living. At the age of twenty-one he commenced
286 Lyman Genealogy.
business as a merchant, in Norwich, Vermont, where his energy
and ability secured for him results so favorable, that he soon after
enlarged his business by opening branch stores in Enosburgh and
Thetford, Vermont, and Hanover, New Hampshire.
In 1831 his fellow citizens of Norwich selected him as their
representative in the legislature of the state, in which capacity he
served during each succeeding year, until his removal in 1834 to
Burlington.
In 1842 he was m. to Cornelia J., second dau. of Timothy and
Lucinda Hall, of Troy, N. Y., by whom he had two children, Ellen
C, wife of Chnrles B. Allen, Esq., of Burlington, and Elias. At
Burlington he engaged in successful mercantile pursuits for several
years, till at length increasing bodily infii'mities resulting eventually
in the paralysis of the lower limbs, compelled him to withdraw from
active duties, and in 1850, retired from business to the quiet life
of home. But although thus rendered unable to engage personally
in active pursuits, he still and throughout 'his life maintained a
great interest in them, and continued his connection with various
important business and social enterprises. As a business man he
bore a reputation for untiring energy, sound judgment, and scru-
pulous honesty. Uniformly courteous with a manner quiet and
unassuming, and ever exhibiting a marked degree of kindness and
regard for the welfare of others, he possessed the love as well as
the confidence of all who knew him.
His private life was an example of patience, cheerfulness and af-
fection under his severe affliction. During the last ten years of his
life he was unable to move about without assistance, but his perfect
resignation and forgetfulness of self, in his consideration for others,
are a sunny memory in the hearts of all who were intimately as-
sociated with him. He was an earnest member of the Protestant
Episcopal church, and for thirty years he was one of the vestrymen
of St. Paul's, Burlington.
In the summer of 1870, his disease, which had thus far been
marked by a progress so gradual as to be almost imperceptible,
reached the vital organs ; and after five weeks of entire prostration,
which were borne, as had been all liis other trials, without a word
of murmuring, he quietly entered into his rest on Monday, Septem-
ber 5th, 1870. As we remember him, the words of an American
poet emphasized by his own whitened locks, come to mind :
" His youth was inuocent ; his riper age
Marked with some act of goodness every day ;
And watched by eyes that loved Mm; calm and sage,
Faded his late declining years away.
Cheerfully he gave his being up, and went
To share the holy rest that waits a life well spent."

This notice of the family of Sylvester Lyman, coming to hand too
late to be inserted in its proper place, is given in connection with,
that of his surviving son, Charles Harvey Picket Lyman. — See p. 269.
Sylvester Lyman was b. at the old homestead near Smith's Ferry
at the foot of Mount Tom, m. in Northampton, commenced business
in " Shop Row," afterwards removed to Boston, opened dry goods
business. After the war of 1812, and declaration of peace,
removed to Ohio, where he remained several years and then returned
and settled in Pittsfield, Mass., where he resided some 10 or 12
years, was prostrated by lithiasis, went to Albany, N. Y., for a
surgical operation, which he survived only 6 weeks ; and was buried
in the family plat in the Albany Rural Cemetery. He was
a man of medium height, though his father measured over six
feet, blue eyes and light complexion, of remarkable purity of
character, uniformity of disposition, of great endurance and appli-
cation, courteous and gentlemanly in his manner, warm-hearted and
a true friend, of whom the companion of his pilgrimage after his
decease often testified, that for more than forty years she had borne
with him the vicissitudes of life, yet in all that time he never
spoke one unkind word to her.
Nancy Clapp, his wife, was born at the old homestead, which is
still standing in South street, Northampton, daughter of Ebenezer
Clapp ; of deep piety, warm afi"ections ; governing by a look, never
by words or blows ; a consistent member, through her whole life,
of the Congregational church. She survived her husband but two
years, and is buried by her side. The writer of this owes his first
religious impressions to her constant practice of retiring with him
up to the period of his leaving home, in his early boyhood, to her
private chamber and then on bended knee commending him in
prayer to God's mercy and protection.
George Lyman, the eldest son, was b. in Northampton. He was
a man of more than ordinary ability, was pronounced in his day, the
" most elegant man in Boston." His height was 5ft. 11 inches, well
built, dark hair, hazel eyes, straight as an arrow, polished and grace-
ful, a warm friend, but quick to I'esent insult. His history was one
of peculiar interest to his family, more remarkable than fiction, but
too lengthy to narrate here. In 1824, he embarked in a commer-
cial enterprise, in connection with the opening up of the Nicaragua
canal, by the British government, in Central America. The expedi-
tion was unfortunate. While crossing Lake Nicaragua, a storm
arjose, and the merchandise was thrown overboard, and, though an
expert swimmer and urged to make an efi"ort to save his life, he
nevertheless simply wrapped his cloak around him and went down
with the vessel. Only one escaped to tell the tale.

Wm. Lyman, was b. in Boston. Shortly after the emigration of his
parents to Ohio, he returned to Massachusetts, for the purpose of
entering a store, and traveled alone on foot over the Aleghanies
and safely reached his destination, being then only 13 years of age.
About 1830 he vreat to Albany, N. Y., anTl shortly after established
the well known firm of Lyman & Hanford, which for many years
maintained an enviable reputation. He d. suddenly in the spring
of 1858, of congestion of the lungs, and is buried by the side of his
wife, father and mother. He left no issue.
Henry Lyman, was b. in Boston, graduated at Union College with
the valedictory honors; passed through Princeton Theological Semi-
nary, and after serving acceptably a number of years in the ministry,
took up his residence in New York. He d. of pneumonia, Jan.
31, 1872, and is buried by the side of his wife in his family vault,
at Forest Hill Cemetery, West Roxbury, near Boston, Massachusetts.
He left no issue.
Sylvester Lyman, of New York, and C. H. P. Lyman, of Chicago,

703 Harvey Lyman^ b. iu South Hadley, Aug. 26, 1814,
son of IsraeP, Israel'^, Zadoc^, Johyi^, John^, John^, Richard}.
His mother's name was Sally Moody. His father had
about a hundred acre farm, including the Rock Ferry
between Mt. Tom and Holyoke. At the age of 16, 1831,
he joined the Congregational church iu South Hadley.
In 1835, he received faith in the Shaker religion, and in
April, 1837, be with his mother, Elijah and Edward, joined
the Shakers at Enfield, Ct. He remained a private mem-
ber until 1841, when he was promoted to a trustee ; in
1846, he was appointed one of the elders, whose duty it
was to oversee all business, particularly to receive new
members and the confessions of the fraternity. In 1850,
he became somewhat dissatisfied; and having formed an
attachment to the second eldress, Mary Ann White, both
found means to look imuiterable things which they were not
permitted to express, and in June 24, .1854, he and the
eldress found themselves in Springfield, made one by
marriage. He carried on the grocery busine^!S until i^ov.,
1857, when with his family he went to California, but
returned in about four months, making a loss of about
1,000 dollars.
From that time he has conducted a successful grocery
business in Springfield, in several places from which with
his rents, he receives a handsome income.
To him and his wife the Lyman family are indebted
chiefly for their union Aug. 10, 1869, and reunion, Aug.
30, 1871. At a picnic the proposal of a similar social
gathering of the Lyman's was suggested by Mrs. Lyman,
and he was designated to 'carry it into efiect; which was
happily and successfully accomplished. The facilities for
the reunion in 1871, were chiefly provided by the same,
and we may hope that these have inaugurated the stated
meetings of the family in future years. Springfield, Mass.

Edson early enlisted in the war against the rebels, declined

Kentucky, skirmishing with the rebels; and, at Perryville,in
battle against Gen. Bragg, lost his left arm. After leaving
the army, studied law, engaged successfully in his profession
at Pontiac, 111., and now resides in Fairbury, where parents
and children are now gathered. The father and mother,
with all their children near, all identified with whatever
is good and true, all living active Christians, having not
one missing from their circle, and with groups of grand-
children growing up around them, seem in most things un-
usually blessed, and ready for a ripe, happy old age, — a pleas-
ant retrospect over a useful, well spent life, a cheerful waiting
for the tide that shall carry them out to the '• home beyond
the river." Fairbury, III.

Had an original turn of mind and when a child greatly amused the

He was early inclined to study for college and was willing to make
great sacrifices to fit for college and support himself while there.
He taught for two or three years at the south, and studied law
and was admitted to the bar, in New Orleans, He was ambitious
and a very careful and diligent student. He was just beginning

to gain a position in his profession when th^3 war broke out, which
eventually drove him north, impoverished and disappointed. He
was remarkably cheerful in misfortune. Always looking on the
bright side and when he went to New York, in 1864, he had nothing
but his head and hands to depend upon. He had no one to introduce
him, or to help him into a position, or support him and his in-
creasing family till he could get a start. He wrote articles for
newspapers on topics of interest, depending upon their own merits
to introduce them. They were, many of them, published, though
the writer was unknown. He made a demand for his writing by
their true merit. He wrote most of the sketches of that very popu-
lar book The Women of the War, though his name does not appear.
He also wrote several articles on agriculture and together with his
wife, published The Philosophi/ of Housekeeping, and soon became
the agricultural editor of the Neio York Tribune.
Extract from the Weekly Tribune.
" These experimental essays brought him into communication
with New York journalism, and he came to this city to begin the
useful and successful career which has been suddenly cut short by
death. He acted for two years as agricultural editor of the
World, next became managing editor of Hearth and Home,
from which position he came to the Tribune, where he filled for the
kst four years of his life, with unusual energy and intelligence the
chair of agricultural editor. He traveled extensively west and
south, and his conscientiousness and sagacity made his lettters es-
pecially valuable. He was a prominent member of the Farmer's
Club and Rural Club, and in honorary capacity connected with many
horticultural and agricultural societies. The Farmer's Club af-
forded him congenial means of diffusing practical knowledge on
current subjects. This club owes largely its importance and use-
, fulness to his zealous cooperation." He was a very hard working
man, would undertake what would seem impossible to other men.
In all his labors for the diffusion of knowledge and progress in agri-
culture, he was imbued with the thought that he was doing good.
He was for many years a professing Christian. In his last sickness
when inquired of, by his wife, about his feelings, his reply was,
' Christ has been the head centre of my faith, for 20 years, I have
no fear.' "

Both Caleb Strong and Phebe his wife were distinguished for
original strength of mind, sound judgment and exemplary Christian
deportment. They were the parents of twelve children, one of whom
was Gov. Caleb Strong, one of the most distinguished Christiao
statesmen of Massachusetts. He was U. S. Senator in the First
Congress, 1788-94, 1794-1800. He became eminent in the legal
profession ; and equally distinguished for his moral worth and stern
integrity. He was deservedly honored with the respect of his citi-
zens throughout the state of which he received the highest evidence
in his appointment as governor of the commonwealth. On his election
as governor of the state although party spirit ran high, not a vote was
cast against him in seven or eight towns of which Northampton was
the centre. To the same office he was repeatedly elected.
As early as 1772 he was a professing Christian, and acted plainly
under the sense of religious obligation, and sought the praise of
God rather than that of men. He was a pillar in the church
at Northampton, and for many years president of the Hampshire Co.
Missionary Society and of the Hampshire Bible Society. In the
latter years of his life he was much given to the study of the
scriptures and of theological works. Time grew less and eternity
ever more in his thoughts. In private life he was affable and at-
tractive. He had those magnetic qualities of character, which, with
his integrity, simplicity and dignity, drew all eyes and hearts to him.
The Lymans and the Strongs, beginning at Northampton their career
together in America, have frequently intermarried. Their mutual re-
lations from these intermarriages are fully developed in the history
of the Strong Family, by the Rev. B. W. Dwight, from which the above
statements have been chiefly taken.

738 8 Elizabeth, b. Feb. 8, 1768; m. a Gilman.
739 9 Sarah, b. Dec. 21, 1772 ; m. a Keating.
Nothing is known of any of his children except Theodore,
who is still remembered in Boston as a man of great force and
marked traits of character, of sterling worth, and generous impulses.
He was one of the set of men who made the name of a " merchant
of Boston" respected throughout the world.
Theodore was the only married son of Rev. Isaac L., therefore
his descendants are the only ones of the male line from this branch.
There were descendants in the collateral branches of Bragdon,
Plummer, Keating, Gilman, Keating. Dr. Buckminster had no
children.
The following is extracted from the funeral sermon of the Rev.
Dr. Hemmingway of Wells, Me. :
His talents appeared to be rather solid than shining, qualifying
him rather for usefulness in his particular calling, than to figure in
the eye of the world. With a sound, sagacious judgment, his mind
was well furnished with valuable and useful knowledge ; particu-
larly he understood the sacred doctrines and duties of the Christian
religion, of which he was a public teacher. Prudence in the conduct
of lite was an eminent and acknowledged part of his character, as
was also great integrity and probity. In him" the wisdom of the
serpent was joined with the innocence of the dove. His integrity
and uprightness preserved him. He appeared always to maintain a
mild, placid, and kind temper, happy to himself and those with him,
and a conversation becoming the gospel. None appeared more
universally loved and respected. Those who were most acquainted
with him had the highest esteem for him. He was not a bigot.
His religion was orthodoxy and charity united. As a public teacher
the apparent aim and tendency of his discourses was not to show
himself, but to promote true godliness and righteousness. He was
an amiable example of the graces and virtues of the Q' ristian
temper and life. For many years he was wholly taken off/ ^t was

Theodore Lyinan, a munificent benefactor of reformatory educa-
tion in Massachusetts, was born in Boston on the 20th day of Febru-
ary, 1792, the son of a successful merchant, and therefore in circum-
stances favorable for the formation and development of a manly
character, under the influence of practical views, and liberal in-
struction. He was educated at Phillips Academy, and Harvard
College, and was graduated at the latter institution in 1810.
In 1812 he went abroad, and traveled in Europe for about four
years, a part of the time in company with Hon. Edward Everett,
visiting all the great centres of interest, including G-reece, Egypt,
and Palestine. He was in Paris when the allied armies entered that
city, and of the stirring incidents of that period he has given an
account in a volume entitled Three Weeks in Paris. The fruits
of his foreign travels and suggested studies, were subsequently
embodied in an octavo volume on Itali/, and two volumes on the
Diplomacy of the United States with Foreign Nations, both of
which were favorably received by the public.

several of his declining years, the quiet home in Dorchester, Mass.,
provided for him by his children, died at his son's house in Boston,
Jan. 20, 1869, aged sixty-eight years. He was " a faithful, true-
hearted and most aflPectionate servant of Christ, and wherever he
dwelt attracted the confidence and love of many hearts."
The close of life was serene, cheerfully bearing the burden of ill
health, endearing himself by his sweet and modest worth to all
around, he waited for the summons, which came suddenly at last,
but not too suddenly for one who long had felt that " The Lord's
appointment is the servant's hour." His record is on high ; and
though his labors have ended, his words of truth and love will long
remain to bless those to whom he ministered,

The marriage of Timothy Lyman and Dorothy Kinney was one of the
first, perhaps the first, in the town of Worthington, Mass., adjoining
Chester, on the north-east. The town was not yetincorporated, neither
do any records of the precinct run back to this period. Col. Kinney,
the father of Dorothy, from Preston, Conn., had removed his family
consisting of several daus. of adult age, into his log cabin inclosing a
single compartment comprising kitchen, parlor and lodgings for the
household, very inconvenient for the entertainment of lover and
friend and the reciprocal expression of the " conscious flame." But
the address of these wood nymphs was equal to the emergency.
Lumber they had none, but the birch bark of the forest carefully
prepared, afforded a substitute of silvery tint and polish that might
grace the wainscoting of a princely parlor ; and with their birch
bark partitions they extemporized a cosy parlor for the reception of
their friends. Within this birch bark parlor one hundred and two
years since a youthful virtuous pair, with native energy and charac-
ter competent for higher scenes, pledged their mutual faith and love,
and were m. May 18, 1769. The husband was a man of rare ability,
quick discernment, and sound judgment, very ready in repartee
and capable of the keenest irony.

vaded by rebel soldiers under Morgan, and the life of his venerable
father-iu-law, 80 years of age, was saved by the noble wife and
daughter, throwing herself before the weapon of the assassin who
cowered in view of her dauntless heroism and spared the life of the
patriot patriarch. Dr. Lyman m. May 19, 1858, Isabel Field, of
Richmond, Ky.
The aged father, E. H. Field, saved by the heroic daring of this
daughter, was a loyal Kentuckian, who in those days that tried
men's souls, nobly dared at his great age — to rally around his
country's flag, for her defense against the traitor rebels of his native
state ; to take his gun and join the horse-guards for the protection
and preservation of the Union, for which his father Capt. Henry
Field had bled and died, in the terrible battle of Blue Licks. The
mother of Mrs. Lyman was a sister of Col. Irvin, who lost his life
at Fort Meigs, while bravely leading his regiment against the British
and the savages in the war of the revolution. Such is the noble
and gallant blood that runs in the veins of the heroic, devoted
daughter.

Dea. Stephen, and his brother Timothy began public life together
as the first settlers of Murrayfield, now Chester, a ruountain town, 17
miles west of Southampton, their native place. Tall, stalwart
young men, with strong hands and hearts, they went out into the
wilds together and cleared from the native forest adjoining farms
on which they lived through life. Their way was through an un-
broken forest with no track for their guide but that of the bears
and the deer. A single camp chest contained their frugal outfit, a
few loaves of brown Boston bread, a cheese, a ball of butter and two
or three tow shirts, each grasping one handle of the chest with one
hand and carrying his axe in the other, they set forward in 1763,
fir their wild mountain laud home. As they rested at frequent
intervals they niarked the trees with their axes to guide their way
back to their native place. Their farms were given them on condi-
tion that each one, within the space of three years from June, 1762,
should build a dwelling house on his lot, 24ft. by 18 and 7 feet stud,
and have 7 acres well cleared, and brought to English grass, or
ploughed, and actually settled, by a family on the farm, and continue
such family for a period of six years, and within 8 years settle a
Protestant minister. Stephen and Timothy, are recorded among
those who organized the Congregational church in Chester, Nov. 14,
1769, of which the former was the first deacon.

droughts ; in 1746, a severe frost on 12tli of August killed al-
most their entire crop of corn; in 1749, there was no rain except one
small shower from March until wheat harvest. Not a handful of hay
could be gathered at the time of haying, but the rains in autumn
gave a good crop of rowen. These details have been selected from
the Centennial Address of the Rev. B. B. Edwards, to illustrate the
perils, hardships and self-denials with which our forefathers esta-
lished their settlements " for the furtherance of the public weal and
the propagation of the gospeL"
They were subject not only to the relentless wars with savages at
home, but with foreign foes in the French war, for a series of years.
When in 1745, Cape Breton was reduced by New England forces
under Glen. Pepperill, Elias Lyman went from Southampton, as a
private in this expedition. In the expedition to Crown Point, in
1755, in the capitulation of Fort William Henry, followed by the
treacherous massacre of the garrison and soldiers, in 1757, in the
siege of Ticonderoga, 1758, and in the capture, we believe, of
Quebec, by Wolfe, 1759, the inhabitants of this town were re-
presented by their quota of men. Then again these military
sufferings and sacrifices were soon followed by the accummulated
horrors of the Revolutionary war,
1 Dea. Stephen Lyman^, eldest son of Elia^, Moses\
Moses^, Johif, Richard}, 1742-1812, Southampton, was b.
iu Northampton, Sept. 8, 1742. His father, soon after his
birth, removed to Southampton, where he lived till about
the year 1767 ; he then removed to Merrjfield, afterwards
named Chester, where he lived and cleared the land which
was then a wilderness, being one of the first settlers in the
town.
He married, Oct. 23, 1770, Anna Blair, of Western
Mass. He raised a family of ten children, and died Dec.
11, 1810, aged 70 years ; Anna, his wife, died Dec. 16, 1768.

town. The Pomeroys appear to have made some improvements
early in the eighteenth century. The tradition is that they built
their first houses in 1722 or 1724. The first meeting on record of
the proprietors was held March 21, 1730. This was an adjourn-
ment from Jan. 31. In this a committee was appointed to make
an equitable division and assignment of the land to the original pro-
prietors. The division was made by lot to thirty individuals, on
condition that they should make improvements and erect buildings
within a specified time. In Dec. 22, 1732, Ensign John Baker and
Moses Lyman, of Northampton, were appointed by that town to lay
out a highway so as to accommodate the new settlement. That
year two houses had been erected in the precinct.
In May, 1733, fourteen families from Northampton'joined the set-
tlement, of whom one was that of Nathan Lyman, son of John and
grandson of Richard. He built a house near the present residence of
Dea. Samuel Lyman. During three or four succeedingyears, fourteen
additional settlers took up their residence in the precinct, among
whom was Klias Lyman then 17 years of age and grandson of
Moses mentioned above. The new settlement was incorporated
into the second precinct of N., July 23, 1741. The petition to the
general court for this purpose was signed by 35, who requested to
be set oflP with usual privileges, and that a tax of six-pence per acre
should be laid on the whole of their tract, being 14,000 acres that
they might be enabled to build a meeting house, settle a minister and
have the worship of God among themselves.
In 1743, the number of ratable polls was 31, and the valuation
of the whole settlement £750 7s , in 1750 the polls were 62 and the
valuation £1205 2s. 9d. Their meeting house was not completed
until several years later. The church was first occupied for worship
by the people sitting on the sills of the house. In Jan., 1753, a
committee was appointed to " dignifj' the seats and the pews." At
the ordination of the Eev. Mr. Judd, their pastor, in 1743, the church
consisted of 63 members, 32 males and 31 females, comprising al-
most every adult in the town. The Rev. Jonathan Edwards was
the preacher on the occasion. For settlement, Mr. Judd had 200
acres in land, 100 pounds old tenor in money, and 125 pounds in
work ; for salary 130 pounds for 3 years, then an increase of 5 pounds
a year until the salary amounted to 170 pounds a year.
For several years the inhabitants were fearfully molested by the
Indians. When they walked in the road or went into the woods in
search of their cattle, every man carried his weapons with him, and
in their labor in the fields some kept watch in rotation as sentinels
to prevent surprise. A stockadeor palisade of stakes was set around
certain houses to which the families fled for safety upon an alarm
from the Indians. All lived in constant terror and several fell vic-
tims to the tomahawk and scalping knife of the savages. In 1748 the
settlements were broken up and abandoned for some time to the
ravages of the Indians. In addition to these terrors from the In-
dians, the labor of the husbandman failed by reason of frost and

in 1817; and in 1818 he was elected state senator. In 1828 be
was again elected senator, and was re-elected in 1830, when, at the
close of his term, he declined a re-election. In 1833 he was the
candidate of the Anti-Masonic and National Republican parties for
governor. In 1850 he was again elected senator. Mr. Lyman bad
much to do in moulding the legislation of his adopted state j and
among the prominent public measures, to the success of which his
influence greatly cootributed, was the construction of the Ohio canal,
and the adjustment of the difficulty relative to theboundary between
the states of Ohio and Michigan.
In 1854, Mr. Lyman was elected probate judge of Portage county,
which office he continued to hold for three successive terms. As an
illustration of his conscientious attention to his official duties, it may
be mentioned that during the entire period of nine years, he was
absent from his office but fourteen days.
Judge Lyman also took an active interest in the educational,
moral and religious improvement of the community in which he lived,
and always contributed liberally of his time and means to their sup-
port. He was for many years an efficient member of the board of
trustees of Western Reserve College. He was the very earliest
advocate of the temperance cause, when nearly all his cotemporaries
were openly and actively hostile to the movement; he was the uni-
form and firm opponent of slavery and of oppression in every shape,
advocating and successfully defending the right of free speech when
assailed by violence. He aided in oi'ganizing the First Congrega-
tional church and society in Ravenna, and was one of the trustees
of the society for a period of nearly twenty-five years.
Judge Lyman possessed a clear, well-balanced and discriminating
mind, inflexible uprightness and unsullied purity of heart, and great
decision of character, united with the most refined gentleness and
tenderness, and a dignity of mind and manner peculiarly his own.
Such a rare combination of virtues and qualities constantly drew to
his home a large circle of cherished and valued friends, to whom he
' always dispensed a generous hospitality. It was here — in the bosom
of his family and among his friends — that he shone the bright-
est and took captive the affections ; it was here that he was most
loved, revered and cherished; and in that inner circle, especially,
his death created a vacuum which can never be filled.

regiment at the battle of Saratoga; and as a mark of honor for
meritorious services, he was deputed to convey to General Washington
the official report of that important victory. His uncle, the Hon.
Samuel Lyman, was a member of the first congress elected under
the constitution of the United States.
Mr. Lyman was reared upon a farm, where he was taught those
habits of industry, economy, self-reliance and self control, and those
principles of virtue, which constitute the foundation of true manly
character. He early manifested a desire for, and determined to
obtain a liberal education. After the usual preparation, he entered
Williams College, and graduated in 1810. While a member of
college, he wrote out and solemnly adopted, on his nineteenth birth-
day, the following resolution as the rule of his life :
" Goshen, Connecticut, July 19, 1808.
" The will of God shall be my rule of life."
Shortly after his graduation, he entered the law school at Litch-
field, then under the charge of Judge Gould, where, by diligent
attention to his studies, and the spotless purity of his life, he won
the respect and afi'ection of his distinguished teacher, and of all those
associated with him. While connected with the law school, he wrote
out and adopted this further rule of life :
" LitcTifleld, Connecticut, December 13, 1812.
" The Priuce of Peace shall be my Guide."
After leaving the law school at Litchfield, Mr. Lyman proceeded
to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he spent several months in the office of
the Hon. Henry Baldwin, one of the justices of the Supreme Court
of the United States, in order more fully to perfect himself in his
legal studies. From thence, in the early part of the year 1814, he
emigrated to Ohio, was admitted to the bar, and established himself
permanently at Eavenna, Portage county. Here, before he had
tried a single cause, he adopted and wrote out the following resolu-
tion, as the daily rule of his professional life :
" Ravenna, Ohio, April 25, 1814.
" Having adopted the profession of the law to procure a livelihood, I vrill
practice it through life, always governed by a lofty and sacred sense of honor
and perfect rectitude. I will do all the good 1 can to those with whom I
may be called to associate. 1 will never allow myself to indulge a feeling
of revenge, either for insult or injury."
These " rules of life " he always carried about his person, and he
paid to them such practical obedience, that all might see, and none
mistake, his principles of action ; and neither in domestic, private,
professional nor public life, was he ever known to depart from this
law which he had prescribed to himself. It might well be said of
him that he was upright before God and man.
Though by temperament unobtrusive and retiring, Mr. Lyman
was frequently called to occupy public stations. In 1816 he was
elected to the lower branch of the State Legislature ; was reelected

day, and for a geniality and integrity of character that secured to
him popularity and respect among the whole mercantile community.
He formed a very intimate and extensive business acquaintance
throughout the south and southwest.
Depending chiefly upon this acquaintance, and his reputation
for energy and integrity, he finally embarked in business on his own
account. He established a grocery, jobbing and commission busi-
ness, and became a large receiver of cotton, and other southern pro-
ducts. From year to year his business increased, until it became
one of the most extensive in New York. At a later date, he
organized the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company, of which
he became, and still is, president. This was in 1853, and he has
now held the presidency of the company for over nineteen years.
The organization and successful management of such an institution
as a life insurance company requires very high business capability.
In this case Mr. Lyman has met these requirements to the utmost
degree. The whole system of organization and business has been
arranged and developed under his personal direction. He has held
no sinecure office, but one which called for the highest general
business ability as well as knowledge as to this particular branch,
and a personal resolution which could defy and overcome every
kind of obstacle.
In his business character Mr. Lyman is remarkable for great ex-
ecutive powers, reliable judgment, and system and order in regard to
all that he directs or undertakes. He has a keen and critical ob-
servation ; nothing escapes him that he ought to see or know, and '
still he does not seem to be giving more than the ordinary attention
to matters. In fact, thoroughness, energy, intelligence and system
are purely force of habit with him. As a clerk, as a merchant, and
now, in his executive capacity, his success has been based on these,
rather than, as with so many, upon mere shrewdness and good fortune.
His whole life has been a settled plan and purpose, followed with
zeal and courage, and wiierein action and reason have ever been made
to accord. His character will bear this close analysis, for it is a
strong and peculiar one. Those who come under its influence soon
feel its scope and power, and to the supereficial observer, he appears
not less the master of will.

116 I Erastus, b. Jan. 20, 1847, at New York.
The following sketch of Mr. Lyman's career in business is taken
from one of the journals of the day.
Among the most intelligent and efficient members of the business
communitjr of the city of New York may be named Erastus Lyman,
Esq. He was b. at Groshen, Litchfield county, Connecticut, Nov.
29th, 1817. He is the son of the late Erastus Lyman, of Cour.eeti-
cut, who was a merchant in that state for over forty years, and also
a prominent politician and holder of several state offices. After the
close of his political career, he turned his attention to farming, and
d. from an accident at the age of eighty-six years. His son Ei'astus
lived on the farm, and devoted himself to the care of the horses and
cattle, and, in the summer, worked in the harvest-field.
At the age of twelve years, he left home for New Haven, with
the view of taking some preparatory studies. In a few months,
however, his health failed, and he was obliged to go into the
mountain districts, where he again gave his attention to agricultural
pursuits. Having regained his health, he returned to New Haven,
where he entered a retail store, in which he remained some two years.
He commenced at the lowest round of the ladder, fearing neither
drudgery nor toil, and at once developed a great tact for business.
He had found the exact sphere in which he could best develop his
talents and energies. Bargaining and selling, speculation and en-
terprise, system and energy, all appealed to qualities which he pos-
sessed in a most marked degree.
At length he determined to seek a wider field in the city of New
York. Entering the employment of one of the then leading dry-
goods houses, he threw his whole energy and mind into the duties
of the position. This, in the beginning, was a very inferior one ;
but, true to his antecedents in New Haven, it did not prevent him
from aspiring to the highest. He applied himself with a diligence
that did not go unrewarded. He rose from from clerkship to clerk-
ship, until he became the head salesman of the house. He was
noted as one of the most clear-headed, enterprising clerks of his

Erastus Lyman', a man and a Christian of no ordinary stature,
has fallen in our midst; of uncommon capacity and of inestimable
value to the community. Self-made, or rather made by circum-
stances incident to a life of bold business adventure in all parts of
this country as it was- fifty years ago ; with more than an average
amount of natural endowments, actuated under the pressure and the
promptings of an indomitable purpose, he rose to prominence and an
influence indicative of his character. In him, as a man with re-
markable physical energy, were combined great mental activity and
a strong moral sense. He became associated with the prominent
men of this country and state, in conducting and adjusting im-
portant business matters, and enjoyed a high reputation abroad as a

We can point our young men to his regularity and punctuality at
every place where duty called him, to his readiness for every good
word and work, to his promptness in saying and doing whatever he
had to say or do; and to his ready and cheerful response to almost
every call of charity, and say to them : " Go ye and do likewise,"

professor of religion. He engaged extensively in commercial pur-
suits, first in partnership with Elihu Lewis, of Groshen, from 1793
to 1797, then with his brother Erastus, until 1827, when they
dissolved their partnership by dividing their property into equal
parts as nearly as possible and bidding for the choice, which fell to
Erastus at a premium of 400 dollars. From this time to their
decease, each cultivated his own farm. He was a man of superior
mind, much above mediocritjr. His manners were polished and he
was distinguished for politeness.
In mercantile pursuits he was a correct and successful business
man. Through a long course of years he successively sustained
most if not all the offices in the gift of the town. He represented
the town many times in the General Assembly and long acted as
a civil magistrate.

In the militia. Col. Lyman held in succession every grade of
offioe from that of corporal to colonel. During the war he was fre-
quently in the army, sometimes by draft, sometimes as a volunteer
on sudden alarms. He went with the recruits from Groshen, to join
the Northern army, before the surrender of Burgoyne. When
the call came to the town for troops in the Revolutionary war, his
company was called together. When formed in line they were told
how many men were wanted and those willing to volunteer were re-
quested to step forward. Every man in the company marched to the
front. Then every fifth man was ordered to the rear and those
were taken.
Col. Lyman was commander of a body of troops stationed on the
night of the 7th of Oct., 1777, to watch the movements of Burgoyne's
army, and was the first to inform Gen. Gates, on the morning of
the 8th, that they had deserted their camp. In consideration of
his important services, he was honored with the duty of conveying to
Gen. Washington personally the first intelligence of the battle of
Saratoga, and the surrender of the British, under Burgoyne. He
was also commander of the guard over the illustrious and gallant
taptive Major Andr^, at and previous to the time of his execution.
In civil life. Col. Lyman sustained many offices in the gift of the
town. He was a man of strong mind and great energy and decision
of character, of the strictest integrity, conscientious in the observance
of the sabbath and of the daily worship of God in his family.

Dea. Moses Lyman, bought and cleared two 50 acre lots for his
farm, on Town Hill, where he built first, a log house, and, in time,
a framed house, which again gave place to the brick house on the
homestead, which was occupied by his grandson, Moses Lyman,
Esq. This house is still in the possession of the family, and has
been occupied by the first son of the same name to the present time.
At the town meeting, Dec. 6, 1739, Mr. Lyman, then 26 years
of age, was appointed collector and treasurer, a grand juror, in 1744,
tything man, in 1743 ; in 1746, one of committee of six for the set-
tlement of the Rev. Mr. Heaton, as pastor of the church, with whom
he in connection with others was soon in controversy respecting his
Armenian sentiments, as they alleged. This controversy resulted in
the dismissal of Mr. Heaton, in June, 1753. In May, 1759, Mr.
Lyman was chosen deacon of the church which office he continued
to hold through life, about nine years.
Dea. Lyman, and his wife are characterized as religious, exemplary,
industrious, economical and liberal to the poor. He was remarkable
for his endeavors to make peace and reconcile difficulties, of sound
judgment and for many years a magistrate, he exercised a controlling
influence in the town. It is said of Mr. Lyman that he was a father to
the poor, eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame, relieving the father-
less and helpless, and making the widow's heart to sing for joy.
He was a magistrate many years. As the representative of the
town in the general assembly he attended 14 sessions. His judg-
ment was good and much depended on. His intellectual acquire-
ments and improvements in the knowledge of things, human and
divine, were superior.
Sabbath Houses. — The Sabbath-day houses of that age were a
characteristic institution which has passed away with the generation
that frequen ted them. Dea. Lyman was one of the first to erect one of
these near the church. They were built for the accommodation
of families during the intermission of public worship. The fami-
lies of the proprietors were the first and principal occupants, but
the houses were open also to other worshipers. Here the entire
family were expected to spend the hour of intermission. The dea-
con was accustomed to bring the dinner for his family in his saddle
bass on horseback. The dinner was spread upon a small table, and
a wooden bottle supplied them drink. Mr. Buell, who was a joint
proprietor of the house, usually asked the blessing and the deacon
returned thanks. All arose from their seats when the blessing was

In 1821, Mr. Lyman married Miss Mary E. Henderson of New
York — -a lady of rare personal attractions and mental accomplisli-
ments, who blessed his home by the birth of three daughters and a
son. In that home for thirteen years, he found all the comforts
which a sweet accord of temper, books, the converse of highly culti-
'vated friends, and abundant means of doing good can command.
In 1833, he had the sorrow of losing his oldest daughter, just as
she was arriving at a most interesting period of life, and developing
the powers which had been wisely cultivated by careful training.
In 1836, he was called to endure the still heavier loss of the mother
of that child, who for fourteen years had been the object of a devo-
tion rarely equaled, who had shared all his cares and interests, and
had repaid his affection with all the sympathy it could not fail to
call forth. Principally to gratify her taste, he had purchased, in
the previous year, the estate in Waltham, which formerly belonged
to Gov. Gore, and had already improved and embellished it with re-
markable taste and judgment. This great sorrow, however, rendered
it impossible for him to continue where every flower and tree was a
memento of his loss, and he removed to the place in Brookline,
which he renovated with the same taste and skill he had shown at
Waltham, and which have rendered the house and grounds re-
markable among the many beautiful residences in the vicinity of
Boston. In the year following the loss of his wife, his second
daughter became so ill as to render a change of climate desirable,
and he took her to Cuba, with the hope of restoring her to her
accustomed strength. It proved in vain, however, and his own
health was so much affected by his repeated afflictions, that ho was
obliged to remain at the south on his own account for several months.
In the summer of 1848 he thought it advisable to go again to
Europe, principally for the benefit of the health of his sgn. He re-
mained abroad a year, and was in Frankfort, and in Paris, during
some of the most exciting moments of that revolutionary period.
The voyage home was a rough one, and proved a severe trial of the
remaining strength of his constitution, and he reached his home in
a state of great exhaustion. He remained in a feeble but nearly
stationary condition for eight or ten days ; and complaining one
afternoon of a sudden pain, he desired to be removed from the sofa
to the bed. In a short time he became apparently insensible, and
expired on the eighteenth of July, 1849. Thus ended, in its ma-
turity and strength, the life of one who was in several respects a
remarkable and memorable man, of warm affections, of cultivated
taste and sagacity, of -delightful manners and incomparable temper,
conscientious in the performance of all the duties and amenities of
life, and thoughtful of those whose only claim on him was the want
of opportunities which he had enjoyed. The recollection of his fine
person and his dignified, polished and amiable manners, can survive
only in the memory of his friends; but the remembrance of his
virtues, his benevolence, his exactness, liis kindness to all about him,
will continue through many generations in the institution to which

he so largely contributed, and which is an honorable memorial at
once to him and to the community of which he was a part. Besides
large donations during his life, he left by will, $10,000 to the Farm
School; $10,000 to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society ; and
$50,000 to the State Reform School. Total for the Reform
School, $72,500.

served during the whole investment of Petersburg, and in the route
and pursuit of Lee's army. He was one of the few officers who were
allowed to ride through the rebel lines after the surrender at Ap-
pomattox Court House ; where he saw Lee, Longstreet^ Gordon, etc.
etc. Since the war he has lived at Brookline, Mass., as before,
and has continued to interest himself more or less in science, and has
also given some attention to the reformation of juvenile offenders, in
which his father was so much engrossed. Col. Lyman has made
valuable contributions to natural science, in the current and occa-
sional literature of the day, among which are a report on the
fisheries in Massachusetts, on fish culture and on forces.

JohnLyman^, was a man like most of the connection, " very much
set in his ways." When once he had decided that a measure was
right, or had deliberately formed an opinion on any subject, it be-
came a changeless sentiment, from which he seldom or never
swerved. He emigrated to Jericho, Vt., soon after the Revolutionary
war, among the first settlers in the state. He was well adapted to
enjoy pioneer life as a mighty hunter and an accurate marksman.

In the winter season lie would leave his home in the morning and
return late at night, occasioning by his long absence deep anxiety
to his wife and children ; but, not unfrequently, on the following
day he would bring in with his team, as the fruit of his hunting ex-
cursion, two or three deer, a wolf or a bear, or both. Even in old
age, when leaning on his staff, he retained the skillful use of his gun.
Perhaps his characteristic as a successful hunter, together with
his personal appearance, erect in stature, of dark complexion, with
small black eyes, gave rise to the impression that he possessed
Indian blood. On one occasion on taking lodgings at the public
inn, he was invited by the deacon of the church to his house as the
Indian preacher who was to be their supply on the sabbath, a
mistake which his native humor and love of adventure keenly en-
joyed. Although retiring and reticent in character, he was remark-
ably social with his friends. He was a man of deep thought and
sound judgment, an earnest Christian and a constant attendant on
the worship of God. Living three miles from church, he was
always in the house of God with his family upon the sabbath, and a
punctual attendant upon the meetings of the church during the
week. It was his highest joy to witness the return of his children
to God and welcome their admission to the church. As a bold and
fearless soldier and sure marksman he served faithfully his country
in the war of the Revolution ; and, in the last years of his life,
received a pension which he delighted to distribute to his children
and grandchildren on their visits to him.

The parents of this numerous family have lived for several years
with their only surviving daughter Mrs. Connors, Butternuts, N. J,
Mrs Richardson d. Feb. 28, 1869. She was the daughter of Capt.
John Lyman, who emigrated from Salisbury, Conn., to Chittenden
county soon after the Revolutionary war. Her parents carried to
that then new country the religion of the Puritans, rearing their
numerous family in the faith of the gospel. Laura was the second
daughter, and very early in life was the subject of deep religious
impressions. She could not recollect when she did not love the
Saviour, and so thought it wrong to tell her pastor she did not
when she felt love toward Grod and his people, and loved to pray.
She was much troubled, however, because she knew not just the
time of her conversion. Thus, sometimes hoping and sometimes
doubting, she passed her early life.
Marrying quite young, and removing to Westford, Vt., she made
a public profession, uniting with the Congregational church, under
the care of Rev. Simeon Parmelee. Again removing to Jericho and ■
finding herself now in the midst of a powerful revival, she sought
oftheLordan assurance that she was indeed his. After a pro-
tracted agony of spirit, the assurance was given her. Her joy was
unbounded; doubts and fears all removed. Thus commenced anew
her ardent devotion to Grod. Ever after she gave her testimony in
the weekly meetings for Christ. Often she had precious seasons of
prayer with her children. Once when the father and other mem-
bers of the family were at church she poured out her soul in the little
prayer meeting, and to her great joy had good evidence that three
of those dear children were then converted. About one year after,
those same dear children d. leaving most comforting evidence that
they were not dead, but " gone home to Heaven," in the submissive
and expressive language of their mother.

At the funeral of the third, the following lines, by Mrs. R/s
request, were sung :
How can I sink with such a prop
As my eternal God,
Who bears the earth's huge pillars up,
And spreads the heavens abroad.
She had faith in a covenant-keeping God, always finding great
comfort in dedicating her children to God by baptism.
Daily now she seemed to be growing in grace. Fifteen years be-
fore her death she was raised again by a rich spiritual experience, to a
higher, purer state of heavenly enjoyment, often saying that her last
days were being her best ; that her peace was like a river. In all her
conversation the love of God was the absorbing topic. Only a few
days before her death she conversed most cheerfully and clearly of
her coming decease, and the ground of her hope. She was reminded
of the high opinion every where entertained of her Christian charac-
ter, and then asked if it was not this — her holy life — that now so
much comforted her ? " Oh ! " she said, in great surprise, " I am
nothing ; my whole comfort is in my Jesus, who shed his precious
blood for me."
She seems daily to have contemplated death with triumph, as'
being the gate to endless life. Finally, with the going down of the
sabbath sun, she gently sank to rest, without a struggle. Among
other requests was this, that her friends should not mourn but re-
joice, when they should hear of her decease.
The husband still lives, waiting in the beauty of holiness, to re-
join her in the skies. — Selected Ohitiiary.

Col. Frederick Tremain. The brief and brilliant career of this
youthful warrior, which for heroic daring in action, coolness, con-
summate skill and generalship has seldom been surpassed, deserves a
further record than time and space will now allow. Parental affec-
tion has fondly and eloquently said.
To the pen of history belongs the noble task of recording the
military operations in which he had the honor to participate during
the ever memorable campaign of 1864. And yet, when we consider
the bloody and obstinate nature of the battles that were fought — the
glorious and unconquerable resolution which was displayed in con-
ducting the movements of the Union armies — the immense loss of
human life — the masterly combinations of those armies — the vast
extent of country which constituted the field of their display — the
Descendants of Moses. 377
number of those brilliant raids performed by the cavalry slone,
through the heart of an enemy's country, each one constituting an
interesting history of itself — the toil, the sacrifices, the fatigue,
sufferings and perils to which the heroic soldiers in those armies
were continually subjected, and to which, with unflinching fortitude
and cheerfulness, they submitted — when we consider too, the in-
numerable deeds of personal bravery, performed both by ofl&cers
and men — the holy patriotic purposes by which the great body of
those armies was prompted — the unselfish willingness they mani-
fested to sacrifice their lives for the preservation of the honor, the in-
tegrity, and the unity of their country — and, finally, the glorious
and successful results of all these operations, we may well doubt
whether history will ever contain more than an outline skeleton of
them all.
He participated in no less than twenty-five battles and skirmishes
in ten months, rose high in rank and achieved at the age of 21
years a reputation for military qualifications and talents which were
the admiration of all and might well be the envy of renowned
veterans. The scene of his splended achievements was the famous
battles of the Wilderness and in connection with them the ever
memorable raids of Gren. Sheridan in which he acted a conspicuous
and brilliant part until struck down by the deadly aim of a rebel
sharpshooter.
Col. Tremain went to the field in the fall of 1862, as Adjutant
of the Seventh Volunteer Artillery. Not relishing the monotony
and inactivity of garrison life — to which duty the regiment was
assigned — he sought and obtained a transfer, and was detailed to
staff" service in the field, with Gren. G-regg, in the cavalry corps of Gen.
Sheridan. And there he found an abundant opportunity for the
display of his high soldierly qualities. He was foremost in every
battle in which that corps engaged, and which has rendered it and
its heroic leaders famous in the annals of the war. He was in that
ever memorable ride from the Rapidan to the James, during which
a score of battles were fought, millions of the enemy's property
destroyed, the outer fortifications of Richmond entered, and prodi-
gies of valor displayed by every member of the heroic band. On
the James, he joined in most of the cavalry reconnoissances and
raids which have passed into history as among the most dramatic of
the war, and fell while engaged in driving back the rebel force
which attempted to check the resistless progress of our troops.
Col. Tremain was a young man to be admired and loved. He
combined, with a noble presence, winning manners and attractive
social qualities. As a soldier, he was prompt and fearless. He was
a brave rider, and coveted nothing so much as perilous adventure.
He early attracted the attention of his superior ofl&cers by his manly
bearing and gallant deeds, and earned his several promotions by
his heroic achievements.
Educated, young and chivalrous, he speedily won the confidence
of his superiors, and promotion soon followed the development of
378 Lyman Genealogy,
the soldierly accomplishmeuts which distinguished him in the many
battles in which he participated. No better evidence of his merits
as a soldier need be cited than the fact that he earned the rank of
lieut. colonel, at the early age of twenty-one. The history of this
war, participated in by so many of the youth of the country, and
offering unprecedented opportunities for promotion, affords but few
instances of one so young attaining this distinction.
Four cousins, differing but little in age, entered the service at
about the same time, all bright and promising young men, prompted
by the highest sentiments of patrioti-m and duty. Of these, three
lost their lives in the service of their country. Their names are :
Lieutenant Walter Tremain, Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick L. Tre-
main, and Major Frank Tremain.

The conversion of David Lyman'^, forms one of the interesting
incidents of his life, which occurred when he was near fifty years of
age, under the faithful labors of the Rev. A. Nettleton, and is
narrated in the following abstract of a letter to his brother :
Salisbury, 1815.
Grod in his infinite mercy has been pleased to bring my feet
from the pit of miry clay, and established them on the rock, Christ
Jesus, and I ought to bless his holy name for it. He has been
pleased to bless, as we have reason to hope, four of our children.
The work began about three months ago, and has been progressing
rapidly ever since. Scarce a day falls but more or less, are brought
from darkness to light. There are now more than 120 who indulge
hope, children from 12 years old, to the man of 70, are subjects of
the work.
I will give you a short account of my experience. I have been
in an awfully stupid state of mind. I had tried deism and athe-

ism, but was not satisfied and finally thought that morality was the
best religion, and that God would do me justice and not punish me
much. The Bible I put little or no confidence in. When the
awakening first began, I thought little of the work of Divine grace un-
til two of my daughters expressed a hope in redeeming grace. That
awakened me to a sense of my condition as a sinner, and I continued
in this frame of mind for three or four weeks, until I was brought
to pray that God would be merciful to me a sinner. I \\d.di faith to
believe that if I went to the throne of grace, I should not perish,
therefore, I drew up the resolution to go, and if I perished, to perish
there.
About this time, Calvin, aged 12 years, was brought out wonder-
fully clear. He began to tell me how I had lived and the awful
situation I was in. I was sensible of it before he began, but it
came with such force, and such anxiety that he appeared to have
for me, that it cut me down. I trembled like Felix, and said " God
be merciful to me a sinner." I continued most of the night crying
for mercy, and have reason to hope that God pardoned my sins that
night. Oh how precious are God's promises to me. The Bible is
now my study, and I delight in its perusal. Every thing appears
new. I have but just begun to live, and I pray " God that I may
live the remainder of my days in his service."
He remained faithful to the close of life. The blessed results of
that revival remain to the present day, and well illustrates the
revivals of that age.

aged 60 years, in Brockport, JST. Y. ; ra. Mary Robbins, of

12 years, but soon relapsed into a state of indifference, and
remained so nntil his last sickness, when he was fully

assured of eternal life hereafter. Hockpori, N. Y.

The following chapters on pioneer life written by Samuel Lyman,
son of David Lyman, who left Salisbury, Connecticut, in 1817, and
settled in Rose, N. Y. are a quaint and amusing illustration of the
spirit of the man and of the age :
The Third Book of Maccabees,
chapter i.
1. Now there dwelt in one of the eastern provinces an aged man,
a man of renown, of the lineage of Simeon, and there were born unto
him twelve children, six sons and six daughters, and they were
comely in stature, and beautiful to look upon, and they were brought
up under the law of Moses and the Saybrook platform, and they
swerved not from the precepts of their Father but observed the or-
dinances of the law blameless.
2. And when his eldest son had grown to man's estate, he took
to wife one of the daughters of the land, and when children were
born unto him, he said, behold the land is too straight for us, and it
was told him of a goodly land, lying west of the great mountains —
a province, flowing with milk and honey.
3. And he communed with his wife and said, thou seest the
straits to which we shall be driven, behold the land is too straight for
lis, let us arise and seek a habitation beyond the great river, for
ourselves and little ones, where there is room for our flocks and our
herds, lest we come to poverty.
4. And the saying pleased her, and she said, thou hast well spoken.
Now do as thou hast said, that we may find sustenance for ourselves
and little ones.
5. And he gathered together his substance and took his wife and
little one, with seventy shekels of silver, and bade his kindred fare-
well and departed.
6. And he journeyed westward over the great mountains of the.
province, and on the third day he arrived at the great river of the
country, and he passed over it, and behold a level country opened
before him.
7. And he pursued his journey for the space of seventeen days,
and on the eighteenth he lifted up his eyes and said, we are drawing,
near our journey's end, and now behold, I have a kinsman living in
this country, let us therefore seek him out and lodge with him,
peradventure he may succor and befriend us, seeing we are strangers
in the land.
8. And he inquired of the inhabitants of the land, saying,
know ye such and such a man living near ? and they answered,
y3a, we know him, and he dwelleth with us in the Valley of Roses.
9. And he hastened and drew near the place and alighted, and
presented himself before the man, and when he had saluted him he
said : I am a stranger from a far country, and I coure to seek a
residence in this land. And the man said — Whose son art thou ?
382 Lyman Genealogy.
And he said, I am the son of thy sister, whom she bare unto my
father.
10. And the man said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord, and
tarry with us. And he ran and drew water and provided provender
for his oxen and he sat meat before them, and they did eat and
were satisfied.
11. And he said, now tell us of thy father and mother, and all thy
kindred and of their welfare. And he told him all and kept
nothing from him, and of the mighty men of renown in his country.
And the man rejoiced exceedingly.
12. And he said, behold the land is before thee, choose thee out
a place which liketh thee best. If thou likest it not on the left,
then turn thou to the right, for the place is large and the whole
land is before thee.
13. And on the morrow he journeyed northward, and eastward
a little way, and behold a level plain like the plains of Amram opened
before him, and the trees thereof were sturdy as the oaks of Bashan,
tall and stately as the cedars of Lebanon and their tops reached up
toward heaven, and he lifted up his eyes, and looked northward and
eastward, and he said, this suiteth me.
14. And he conferred with the magnates of the land, and said
unto them, what must I give thee for the land running thus far
northward, and eastward, and southward ? and they said, thou shalt
have it for 750 pieces of silver.
15. And he unloosed the mouth of his sack, and weighed out to
them a part of the price, even 40 pieces, and he called witnesses,
and it was sealed unto him, and his children after him forever.
16. And he set up his Ebenezer, and pitched his tent, and he
called the name of the place Peth, which name it also bears unto
this day. And the man Sambo was twenty and three years old,
when he first entered into Peth.
CHAPTER II.
3. And it came to pass on the twenty-first day of the second month,
that he removed from the Valley of Roses to his own house. And it
was winter. And the hoar-frost lay on the face of the country, to
the depth of forty and eight inches. And he drew forth his axe of
steel and swung it with vigor against the trees of the forest, and
.they fell prostrate before him.
2. And he clave the trees asunder, and drew the wood to his
house and kindled great fires on his hearth, which ceased not to burn,
night and day, till-the frost ceased from the earth.
3. And at the end of forty and five days, the south wind began
to blow, and the frost dissolved, and all the low places and pools
of the country were filled with water. And the waters subsided, and
the man said : I will go forth to my labors.
4. And the forest resounded with the blows of his axe, and the
trees came tumbling with a mighty crash to the earth and he cut them
asunder, and rolled them in piles, one upon the other, and set them
on fire, and they were consumed.
Descendants of Moses. 383
5. And lie prepared the ground and sowed it with wheat and corn
and legumens, and the earth yielded her increase, some thirty, some
sixty and some 9, hundred fold. And the man rejoiced greatly in
the work of his hands.
6. And he spake to his wife and said, after a few more years of
toil, and when this wilderness shall be subdued before us, we shall
then have a goodly heritage, where our flocks and herds can feed
in green pastures and lie down bef«ide the still waters, for the land
is fruitful and level as the garden of Eden and will produce all
manner of fruits in their season, equal to the clusters of Eshcol.
7. And he rose with the lark, buoyant with, as it were, the strength
of an unicorn, and he built stalls for his oxen, and outhouses for the
products of the land, and he got him herds of cattle.
8. And when the season was far spent, and the products of the
land had been gathered in, the inhabitants of the land said to him,
our children are growing up in ignorance without schools. Come
thou and teach them for ninety days, and we will give thee for
thy hire, thirty-six pieces of silver.
9. And his wife said, go my husband, for the oil is clean gone
in the cruise, and the meal runs low in the barrel, and there are but
two pieces of silver left in the sack ; go, therefore, that we may re-
plenish our stores.
10. And he consented, and went. And when the ninety days
had expired, he said, now pay me my hire, and he took the thirty-
six pieces of silver, and brought them to his wife, saying : put them
in the sack, and buy such things as are needed for our sustenance;
till our own fields yield us a full supply.
11. And an angel appeared to him in a dream by night, and
said : I have watched thy outgoings and thy incomings, these many
days since thou hast been a sojourner in this wilderness, and how
thou hast walked before me in thy integrity, and now I will reveal
to thee things that must shortly come to pass.
12. And now evil genii are let loose in the land, and they are
now going to and fro in the land and walking up and down in it,
and they will pour out the vials of their wrath on the fountains of
water, and all the pools shall become green, and the miasma shall
overflow the country.
13. And sickness will follow, and death on his pale horse will tra-
verse thy streets, and lamentation and woe shall be heard in thy gates,
and thou canst not escape, for thou must pass through the mill, down
through the hopper, between the upper and the nether millstones and
pass out through the cogwheel. Bat like my servant Job, stick thou
to thine integrity, and like him thou shalt come off more than con-
que or,
14. And thy captivity shall be turned, and thou shalt.be greatly
blessed in thy basket and in thy store, and thy seed shall be greatly
multiplied and they shall inherit the land, and thou shalt live to a
good old age, and thou shalt yet behold thy children's children in

troops gamboling in the streets of Petit; and he awoke and behold
it was a dream. And he told it to his wife and she marveled greatly-
CHAPTER III.
1. And about the beginning of barley harvest when the sun
shineth in his strength, he assayed to go to the field as at other
times, and he thrust in his sickle and it fell from his hand, for his
hand shook like the aspen leaf, and he hastened to his house and
said, kindle a fire and wrap me in blankets that I may get heat, for the
icy hand of death is upon me. And a mighty fever followed, and
he said, bring me a drop of water to cool my tongue, for the marrow
of my bones is on fire.
2. And fore disease was upon him, and he gat no rest. Chilled
with ague by day and scorched by fever at night, as days and weeks
rolled on they brought him no relief.
3. And, in anguish of spirit, he cried, 0, that I had remained
on my own native hills, there to inhale the health-giving breezes
wafted from their everlasting heights ! 0, that I could drink of the
sweet, sparkling waters that gush from their thousand fountains,
and that I could now bathe my feverish brow and aching limbs, in
the soft, foaming waters as they dance in their onward course from
the top of Riga, instead of these sluggish waters, which breed malaria,
pestilence and death !
4. And while he was yet speaking, behold a messenger came run-
ning, and said : A mighty tempest hath shaken the forest, and the
trees thereof have fallen upon thy cattle and left thee none remaining.
And his wife and little ones were also smitten with the ague.
5. And the voice of mirth was hushed in the streets, and the
weeks of Sundays commenced. And few went to their fields, for sore
disease was upon them. And the crops went back to the earth, for
none could be found to harvest them. And the man bowed his head
to the blast, and said, My cup is filled to the brim and runneth over.
And he covered him with sack-cloth and ashes.
6. And he spake not again for the space of two days. Then he
opened his mouth and said. Thy billows go over my soul and I sink
in deep waters. Let that day be darkened, let it not be counted
amono; the days of the year in which it was said, the man first set
foot into Peth. And the man wept sore, for anguish was upon him,
7. And death on his pale horse traveled his rounds. And many
were borne to their long homes. And a wayfaring man as he
journeyed called in, and when he saw their affliction he said, be of
good cheer, and fear not, I will cast out this shaking devil, that he
torment you no more and ye shall be well, if so be I can find a cer-
tain herb which grows in the country; and he went on his way, and
the man went with him a little way and he said, behold here it is,
and he pulled up the herb and gave it to the man and said, steep it
in water and drink of it, and ye shall be well. And he brought it
to his wife and she steeped it and drank of the water, and was cured.
The man also drank of it, but was not cured.
Bescendants of Moses. 385
8. And the man said, behold the woman is cured, howbeit he
could not east it out of the man also. And it was said, this
kind goeth not out by a decoction of roots and herbs. And the man
shook on, and in dreamy mazes he would revisit his fatherland and
ramble over the old wonted lots and eat of the luscious fruit of the
old trees of the fruit-yard or drink of their generous juices fresh
from the press 5 but only to awake to disappointment as when a
hungry man dreameth.
9. And when months of suffering had passed away, the man
began to amend and his strength returned as his disease grew less,
and he said, the bitterness of death is past, I am fast getting through
the mill, except perchance the cogwheels. And he thanked God and
took courage.
10. And he gained in strength daily, the chilling blasts of winter
were over, and the ague gone, the genial sun of spring returned to
bless the earth and awaken to new life the vegetable kingdom, and
the man felt its genial influence, was invigorated, and went forth
anew rejoicing to his labors, and he toiled on and the wilderness
receded before him.
CHAPTER IV.
1. Now it came to pass at the end of twelve years, as he sat musing
on the events af the past, that he greatly desired to visit once more
the land of his nativity, and know of the welfare of his kindred.
2. And he said to his wife, go to, I pray thee, let me go and
visit my kindred in the Eastern Province, and know of a surety of
their health and of their welfare.
B. And she said, go and the Lord prosper thee on thy journey
thither. Go and visit thy father and mother, for they are old and
well stricken in years; go, therefore, and see them before they die.
4. And he arose, and put on change of raiment, and girded on
his sandals, and took his staff in his hand, and kissed them and said,
be of good cheer till I return in peace at the end of the full moon,
and he departed.
5. And he journeyed onward, till he came to the great thorough-
fare of the country, and he took shipping .thereon, and sped on the
way four days and nights, and he arrived at the great river, and
passed over it.
6. And on the fifth day, he lifted up his eyes and behold, the great
mountains which divide the provinces were before him, and he passed
over them and drew near to the home of his father and his mother,
and all his kindred.
7. And when he came in sight of his own native hills his emotions
were unutterable, and he sat down on the ground and gazed with
delight and wonder upon the mighty Taghanic over whose rugged
cliffs in his younger days he bounded, like the young roe in the
chase, after the foxes and the conies.
8. And he said, up, I may not thus tarry, — get thee down to thy
father's house and know of their welfare ;and he hastened and entered
386 Lyman Genealogy.
into the house and saluted them, and he seemed unto them as a
wayfaring man and they knew him not.
9. And he communed with them of their flocks and of their herds,
and he said, I would see the master of the house if peradventure I
may buy of him ; and they said, he is in the field ploughing and as he
assayed to go to the field he smiled ; and his mother fixed her eyes
upon him and she leaped from her seat and caught hold of the skirts
of his garment and held him fast.
10. And she said, tell me, is this our son who has been gone fi'om
us these many years ? tell me. And he dissembled no longer, and he
said, yea, my mother, it is indeed he who has been gone so long, thy
very son Sambo.
11. And she rejoiced and said, blessed be the (xod of thy fathers
that he hath preserved thee alive and sent thee back in safety, that
we may see thy face once more before we die. And she rejoiced as
though she had seen the face of an angel.
12. And they brought forth the fatted calf and made a feast of
fat things, butter, and honey and wine on the lees well refined. And
they did eat and drink and were merry.
13. And when the end of the full moon drew near, he said, go to
I pray thee, let me now return to my home and see how it fares with
my wife and little ones. And they said, if now it must be so, bring
thy sack for we may not send thee empty away.
14. And they brought forth their treasures, new and old, rich ap-
parel and changes of raiment, and put them in the sack, and his
father brought a lordly present, even 40 shekels of silver, and
blessed him and said, the God of thy fathers bless and protect thee
on thy journey, and may thy posterity inherit the land and make them
as the stars of Heavesi in multitude, and he bade them farewell and
went on his way rejoicing.
15. And on the fifth day at the going down of the sun he drew
near his own house, and his wife and little ones espied him afar ofi"
and they ran and fell on his neck and kissed him ; and he unloosed
the sack, and when they saw the treasures he had brought them they
were filled with exceeding great joy.
16. And he again applied himself to his labor with renewed
vigor, and blessings attended him in his outgoings and incomings,
insomuch that sons were born unto him by couplets. And he
named them after his younger brethren, and the lads grew and pro-
spered greatly.
17. And he waxed strong in power, and his substance increased,
and he gat him horses and chariots, and he rode upon the high
places of Peth. He washed his steps in butter and the rock poured
him out rivers of oil, and he sat as a prince among his people.
18. And he had six sons and three daughters, and among all the
daughters of Peth there was none to vie with the daughters of Sambo.
19. And his sons were comely in person and walked in the steps
of their father ; and, like Recab, the son of Jonadab, drank no wine

or strong drink, and they became mighty in building up the name
and the house of their father.
20. And they took them wives, of such as they chose among the
daughters of the land, and got them possessions on the right hand and
on the left, and children were born unto them, and the heavens were
filled with their mirth.
21, And as Sambo sat at the gate at the entering in of the city, he
said : Mine horn is exalted, for unto me is given a numerous progeny
to build up my house and perpetuate my name in the archives of Peth
forever.

43 Joseph Lyman was gifted with personal and mental endowments
of the highest order. He was a noble example of a refined, cultivated
gentleman and scholar. With a heart tender as that of a child,
delicate, gentle and sensitive as that of a woman, he was a man of
heroic fortitude, dauntless energy and perseverance in the pursuits
of life. From the study of law he passed to that civil engineering
mining and metallurgy, and bent all his varied attainments and
energies for some time to the early development of the deposits
of anthracite coal and beds of iron in Pennsylvania. The construc-
tion of rail roads, as a means of national wealth, also strongly en-
listed his attention, while the condition of the poor the ignorant and
the oppressed employed his active sympathies and wakeful benevo-
lence. The emancipation of the slave, the enfranchisement, the
education and improvement of all classes of his fellow men was the
study and the labor of his life. Every form of human misery he com-
prehended in his wide wish of benevolence. " There was not a
groan from the oppressed in the world's wide realm, that did not reach
his ear and melt his heart. There was not a hand lifted for free-
dom in Europe or America that he did see and bless."
And yet he comprehended in his reading and study the wide
range of literature, science and politics, though half his term through
life stretched helplessly on his bed the subject of acute, excruciat-
ing pain. Worn down with these suiferings, he yielded up his
noble, exemplary life, Aug. 13, 1871, at Jamaica Plain, Mass., leav-
ing a wife and daughters whose rcord has not been received.

Obituary. — Hannah Willard Lyman, daughter of the late
Theodore Lyman, was born in " old Northampton " in 1816. Here
amid these peaceful retreats, stately elms and lovely landscapes, the
first years of her childhood were spent. Subsequently she removed
with her family to Amherst, and after the distressing death of her
elder brother, Henry Lyman, one of the missionary martyrs of Su-
matra, she entered upon a course of preparative study at Ipswich
Female Seminary, which was designed to fit her for the distinguished
work which divine providence intended her to do. Miss Lyman
commenced to teach at Gorham Academy, Maine, and she subse-
quently taught in Mrs. Grray's Seminary for Ladies in JPetersburg,
Virginia; but her more important work was carried on in the city of
Montreal; surrounded by her nearest relatives, she commenced a
select class for young ladies which speedily grew into a seminary of
a very superior order.
For twenty-two years, though often oppressed with anxiety, by
sorrow, by failing health, and most of all by the deep sense of her own
insufficiency, she faithfully persevered in her work."
" Such earnest teaching could hardly fail to bear fruit; and she,
who sowed often in tears, and under a discouraging sense of failure,
was often blessed by a rich reaping time even on earth, very many
of her beloved ' children,' as she was wont affectionately to call them,
gave her the delight of seeing them joined to the Lord, and walking
in the truth." Her reputation as a successful and inspiring teacher
had been so wide-spread that she had received frequent invitations
to take the superintendence of large public educational institutions,
which she had uniformly declined. In 1865, however, she received
Descendants of Benjamin. 405
an urgent request to become first lady principal of a newly organized
female college on a very large scale — Vassar College, Poughkeepsie,
ani nstitution founded on a munificent bequest, with aims and re-
sources greater than perhaps any other such institution in the world.
She would at once have dismissed the application, shrinking from
the responsibility, but for the suggestion contained in the letter,
" whether in this field the Master may not have work for you to do."
She went, and it is needless to add that she carried her principles
with her to the stately halls of Vassar where they had indeed wider
scope, and greater development. " It was no easy task to which she
was called, but to that task she brought no ordinary qualifications.
Her natural gifts, amounting almost to a genius for her profession,
had beea enriched by an education of no ordinary range. Her early
training in a college town of New England, her extensive acquaint-
ance with teachers, professors and Christian ministers, her familiarity
with many interesting questions which have of late been agitated
respecting the education of woman, and her life-long experience in
the actual management of the young, all made her counsel invaluable
in the moulding of the great enterprise to which she had been
called." She was genial but dignified, devout without austerity,
cheerful without levity, and while very firm in all matters of prin-
ciple and conscience, she was catholic and tolerant in respect of the
religious convictions of others. There was nothing sickly or sen-
timental in the type of her piety, she hated affectation and cant.
Her clear, incisive intellect enabled her with almost unerring cer-
tainty, to penetrate such disguises, and to distinguish between the
meretricious and the true.
Miss Lyman was nowhere more at home than in the sick rootji,
and beside the couch of suffering. Delicate in health herself, she
was nevertheless always ready when the sick and the sorrowful needed
her help.
When dangerous infection had driven others away, there she
might have been found with her calm and gentle r^-^^-'- ^r,r,y.]o-
of contagion. Her spirit was of a heroic sore, Tsr.,-,
that which animated her lamented brother at Sumatra, and ttranr^vi
a Florence Nightingale in the fever hospitals of Scutari. " I was sick
and ye visited me.
I have said that Miss Lyman's character was well balanced, but
it is fitting that I should add that her almsgiving in proportion to
her 7neans and resources were munificent, at the same time osten-
tation in giving was carefully avoided.
The amount of assistance, however, which she gave to ministers
and missionaries, and their families, and to the indigent of Christ's
flock would, if fully known, astonish her most intimate friends.
Who can estimate the value to the world of such a life ? By
what powers of arithmetic can its blessed results be computed ?
" And Iheard a voice from Heaven say, Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their worhs do follow them,"
406 Lyman Genealogy.
Her struggle with death was long and painful. For three weeks
she might truly be said to be dying ; and " dying," said she, " is very
hard work." She had no fears, no shrinking; she longed to depart.
Her desire and prayer was that the end might come ; and, as we looked
upon her sufferings, we could not but join in her prayer. On Tues-
day Feb. 21, 1871, the prayer was heard and answered. The gate
at which she had so long been knocking opened, and she entered
into rest.
" Wonderful was the change which passed upon the face as we
stood, and watched the expression of weariness and pain passing
away, and the features settling to a perfect repose."
" Weep not for her ! She is an angel now,
And treads the sapphire floors of paradise.
All darkness wiped from her refulgent brow.
Sin, sorrow, suffering banished from hex eyes,
Victorious over death, to her appear
The vista'd joys of Heaven's eternal year.
Weep not for her." — Moir.

II. DESCENDANTS OF BENJAMIN,^ THROUGH BEN-
JAMIN.1
4 Benjamin Lyman"*, JBe?yami7f, Johri^, Richard}, 1703-
1762, b. in Northampton, Jan. 2, 1703 ; m. Mary Mosely of
Glastenbury, Ct., probably in the early part of the year
1726. She was b. in Westiield, Mass., in 1707. He lived
in Northampton nearly twenty years. In 1745 or soon
after, he removed with his family to Bartlett Mills on the
Manhan river, a district then in Northampton, but after-
wards with other settlements set off and denominated East-
hampton. On the 28th of May, 1745, the town deeded to
Benjamin Lyman and Stephen Wright, who was his
neighbor and had removed with him from Northampton,
for and in consideration of the sum of sixteen hundred
and twenty-five pounds in bills of public credit, old tenor,
" a tract of land known as ' School Meadow,' the same
being land sequestered by the town ' for the schools,' " about
eight acres of the Manhan meadow above the falls on the
river and the public road across the same. At that time
no place of worship had been erected in Easthampton.
He therefore retained his connection with the church in
Northampton where he was one of the early and constant
supporters of Rev. Jonathan Edwards, D.D., being one of
the nineteen who voted to retain him as pastor of the church
at the time of the opposition to him. He died May 1,
1762, aged 59. Mrs. L. died Aug. 17, 1782, in her 75th
year.
Children, Fifth Generation :
1 I Benjamin, b. Aug. 1, 1727 ; known as Deacon Benjamin.
2 2 Mary, b. Feb. 22, 1730; m. Oliver Pomeroy, of Northampton.
3 3 Thankful, b. March 30, 1731 ; m. Daniel Williams.
4 4 Lemuel, b. 1732 ; d. Feb. 14, 1732.
5 5 Lemuel, b. Aug. 17, 1735.
6 6 David, b. Dec. 14, 1737.
7 7 Solomon, b. Jan. 21, 1741 ; d. Jan. 27, 1746.
8 8 Esther, b. June, 1748 ; d. 1749.
9 9 Martha, b. 1750 ; m. Oliver Wright, Nov. 8, 1770.
The tovyn record of Northampton gives the birth of Aaron, son of
Benjamin and Mary Lyman, Aug. 1, 1727. It has been said that
Benjamin was b. in that year. No Aaron grew up in the family,
and no such person is mentioned in the record of the deaths, though
Descendants of Benjamin. 409
the death of Lemuel and Solomon is recorded. It is hence inferred
that Benjamin was at first called Aaron, and the name changed.
1 Dea. Benjamin Lyman^, b. Aug. 1, 1727 ; m. Hannah
Jones,- of Springfield, Mass. Easthampton, Mass.
Children, Sixth Generation :
10 1 Benjamin, bapt. July 27, 1759.

15 6 Hannah, m. Eli Clapp of Southampton.
16 7 Mercy, b. Oct. 11, 1772 ; m. Josiah Snow of S. Hadley.
In the town records of Northampton there is recorded the birth
of Hannah, a dau. of Benjamin Lyman, jr., and Hannah, b. Aug.
27, 1756. It could probably refer to no other than Dea. Benjamin,
and it is probable that he had a child of that name who d. in infancy.
Dea. Benjamin Lyman built a house on the plain, where his
grandson, Rev. Solomon Lyman, now deceased, lived. He was very
active and influential in the formation of the church and district or
town. To him was directed the warrant, to call together the
citizens to the first meeting of the district after its organization.
Robert Breck, Esq., who was empowered by act of the general court to
issue his warrant to some prominent citizen, was chosen moderator
of the first meeting. Mr. Lyman was chosen moderator of the
second meeting, and he occupied that position many times thereafter.
In church matters, he was also a leader. Before the settlement of
a pastor, it was needful that there be a moderator, who could legally
call meetings of the church, an ofiice to which he was appointed.
At one of the earliest business meetings of the church, he was chosen
deacon, which office he accepted, and performed its duties till his
death in June, 1798. He was a man of ardent piety, a faithful
servant of Christ. His wife was Hannah Jones of Springfield.
They had children, the dates of whose baptisms are given in the
church records of Southampton, Rev. Jonathan Judd, pastor, which
church they joined July 29, 1759, and attended until the organiza-
tion of one in Easthampton.

5 Lemuel Ltman^, son of Benjamin^, who first settled in
Eastliampton, b. Aug. 17, 1735 ; moved with his father to
Easthampton, at the age of ten. In 1755, ?t the age of
twenty, in company with his neighbor, Lieut. Eliakim
Wright, he joined the expedition then forming under com-
mand of Sir William Johnson against Crown point. A
battle occurred at the south end of Lake George, Sept. 8,
1755, in which a portion of the troops were engaged, these
being in command of Col. Ephraim Williams, the founder
of Williams College, who was slain. Mr. Lyman was in
this battle, and received a wound while in the act of firing
at an Indian. The bullet passed across three of his fingers
and struck his breast, passing through a leather vest,
pierced his shirt three times on account of a fold in it,
passed through his bullet pouch and half buried itself in his
body. This pouch is still preserved in one of the numerous
families of his descendants. Soon after this, he, with
others, was sent with a drove of cattle for the northern
army. It was supposed, that, in this expedition, by the
privations and exposures which he endured, he laid the
foundation for the rheumatism, a disease, which in later
years rendered him, to some extent, unable to perform
manual labor. He was a member of the board of select-
men for seven years, and one of the leaders in the esta-
blishment of a church, and the erection of a house of worship.
He was a man of great physical strength, and was quick to
perceive the best method of action in a moment of danger.
He had a very retentive memory, great presence of mind,
and native energy of character. He m. Ljdia Clark, dau.
of Eliakim Clark, of Easthampton, who was b. Sept., 1741.

It was said of Daniel F. Lyman by one who knew him well and
knew whereof he spoke: — Modest and retiring in his manners ; he
never sought to make himself prominent by seeking office, but was
content to serve his generation by striving to do his duty as a citizen
and a Christian in the sphere in which he was placed. Springing
from a Puritan ancestry, he possessed in a large measure, the virtues
430 Lyman Genealogy.
which mark the genuine Puritan character, and it may truly be said
of him that no man in town was more thoroughly respected, nor one
whose integrity was more unquestioned. He had been for many
years a member of the first church, and was regarded as one of its
pillars. The Bible says, " A good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches," and Mr. Lyman has certainly left that as an inherit-
ance for his children.
Daniel W. Lyman, son of Daniel F. Lyman, was a member of Co.
K, 52d regiment, in which he was one of the first to enlist. Not
from any fondness for the adventures and perils of war, nor from
any momentary impulse, but from a deliberate conviction that to him
the voice of country was the voice of God, was he led to oifer him-
self, a sacrifice if need be, for his country's salvation. Upon a
Christian young man not absolutely forbidden by some higher call
of duty, he felt that the claims of country then were paramount.
Influenced by such considerations, it is not too much to say, that in
the darkest hour, his purpose never wavered, nor did a regret for his
course find place in his heart. To his faithful performance of the
duties of a Christian soldier, many have borne ample testimony. His
cordial, unwavering trust in God, in times of darkness and danger,
though probably doubted by none, is best known to those who knew
him intimately. To many whom he never saw, he was known by
his letters from the regiment, which were published in the Hamp-
shire Gazette.
Sabbath morning, June 14, 1863, an attack on Fort Hudson was
ordered, and, though deprecating the selection of that day for the
assault, he went forward without faltering. His regiment being en-
gaged as skirmishers, he, with a few of his comrades, gained a posi-
tion in a ravine somewhat in advance of the main line, and while
here, very early in the engagement, a ball from a rebel sharpshooter
struck him in his head, killing him instantly. Capt. Bissell wrote
to me thus in relation to him : " Gentle hands placed him in his
grave, and covered the earth over him near the spot where he fell,
although obliged to wait till after dark, and to be exposed to a storm
of rebel bullets. This tender tribute of aifection is his monument,
and, although his dust may not make the violets of his native hills,
it will not be amiss, on the morning of the resurrection, that his
body should arise from the spot, where the latest duties of his life
were so faithfully concluded."
In the town of Easthampton, nine of the name of Lyman enlisted in
the service of their country to subdue the rebellion, four of whom
died of disease or fell in battle in the rebel states.

theology at Auburn, and was licensed to preach in the fall
of 1843. Following this, he taught school in Bristol, Ct.
Here the blessing of God upon his efforts for the spiritual
benefit of his pupils, was such as to lead him to decide
to make teaching the business of his life. This profession
he followed as principal of an Academy, at Williston, Yt.
and Lenox, Mass., till he was compelled in consequence of
ill health, to relinquish sedentary pursuits. For many
years his business has been that of telescope manufacturer
and civil engineer. A reflecting telescope of his manufac-
ture, is admitted to be the best, as it is the largest of its
kind ever made in this country. He has also invented and
manufactured an instrument called the protracting tri-
gonometer, a very superior drafting instrument. May 22,

thither at that time, as may be supposed, was far more of
an undertaking then, than now. Mr. and Mrs. Lyman
went by way of Cape Horn, and were nearly or quite half
a year in making the passage from New York to San
Francisco. They remained some months in California, at
San Jose and then went to Portland, Oregon, where he was
largely instrumental in the establishment of a Congrega-
tional church there as also at Dallas, where he resided
some years after leaving Portland. He is now professor
of mathematics in Pacific University, at Forest Grove,
Oregon, a university whose primary object is to raise up
men \o supply the need of ministerial labor on the Pacific
Coast. During a year's respite from the labors of his pro-
fessorship he was in the government employ in the Custom
house at Astoria, the entrepot of the upper Pacific Coast.
He is now discharging the duties of the professorship.

his ardent piety, implicit faith, and a heart full of Christian sympa-

Spirit. During his whole ministry he lost not a Sabbath or a day

Leigh Richmond Janes, has been a very successful pastor atShorts-

At one time he was thought to be near his death, but
was restored almost miraculously. He seemed to regret
the restoration, and said he did not see why he was spared.

young converts would gather about him to hear him converse
about the interests of the soul, and to receive Christian
counsel. His neighbors and friends told him they could
see why he was spared. He was a man quite given to

a captain in the expedition under Benedict Arnold, for the

through the wilds of Maine, the hardships the troops en-
dured in the forms of hunger, fatigue and cold, were
almost beyond expression. There were sailors among
them who became so ungovernable that Major Lyman was
deputed to take them back to Boston, which he finally
succeeded in doing, although many times in the homeward
march his life from them was in great peril. But when,
on one occasion, there was every indication of mutiny,
his decision and courteous manners towards them com-
pletely subdued them. He remained in the army some-
time after, and did good service in many important posts.

Grod and man directs in a marriage covenant, and I pray the God of
love and peace to enable me to keep that covenant, and be found

Conn,, and seem to be related to the Lymans in New
Hartford ; lived atone time in Bridgeport; Levi the father
apparently of this Levi above mentioned, " came into
Dutchess Co., K Y., about 1765, from New Milford,
Conn." He was named after his father. He had a nu-
merous family.
Levi, one of these children, left home when a youth,
after the death of his father, and became the architect of
his own fortune. He acquired a good education ; first a
farmer, then overseer of a woolen fiictory ; he d. Feb. 22,

Jane Ann, 2d child of Wagar, b. in New Hartford, Feb. 6, 1836 ;
m. May 7, 1850, Albert S. Palmer, adopted in infancy after
the death of his mother by his grandmother in Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., and at the age of 18, entered into the U. S. naval service
as engineer. His subsequent course is given as illustrative of
the eventful and adventurous career of many a young American.
The greater part of the first year was spent on board the
United States steamer Fulton under command of Com. M. C.
Perry, afterwards famous as commander of the United States
expedition to Japan.
Was transferred from the Fulton to the steamer Missouri.
This vessel, which had been singularly unfortunate from the
beginning, was sent on her first cruise in 1843, with Caleb
Cushing, United States minister to China, on board, and was
bound for Alexandria in Egypt, but burnt at Gibraltar on her
way out, twenty-four hours after anchoring at the latter place.
Nothing was saved from the vessel.
He returned to the United States on a sailing merchantman.
Was afterwards sent to the S. Union then in the Gulf of Mexico.
On his way home was in a gale nineteen days off Cape Hatteras;
the vessel was nearly disabled and came near being lost.
After getting her back to the Washington Navy Yard, he
was put in charge of her, which office he retained for eight
or ten months, when he was ordered to the Water Witch, and
soon afterwards was sent on the S. Princeton to the Gulf. of
Mexico at Vicksbui'g during the Mexican war and remained
nearly a year, in or near the harbor of Vera Cruz, and until
the taking of the Castle of San Juan d'UUoa by the United
States forces, when the Princeton was ordered to Philadelphia
with dispatches.
He was soon afterwards transferred to the steamer Michigan
on the lakes,, where he remained nearly a year, when he went
to Chester, HI., on furlough, and soon afterwards resigned his
commission in the navy, remaining in Chester, until the year
1867, when he removed to Du Quoin where he still resides.
He was in Chester, first dry-goods merchant, then Capt. and
part owner of a steam ferry boat on the Mississippi river, and last,
furniture merchant, which business he still conducts.
He has always been upright and honorable in all his busi-
ness and social relations, a good husband, and a kind father;
respected by all who knew him.

The following from Gen. Luke Lyman, was not received
in time to be inserted in its proper place, p. 299, Ko. 817 :
" My regiment, the 27tli Mass., was a part of the ' Burnside Ex-
pedition' which went to North Carolina. It took an active part in
the capture of Roanoke island, and Newbern, N. C, and afterwards
in the battles of Kingston, Whitehall, Groldsboro and Glum Swamp,
all in North Carolina (two battles at the latter place), and was one
of only two regiments which were besieged and surrounded at Wash-
ington, N. C, for 18 days, without any communication with our
friends outside. At all these above named places, I was present and
acting as Lieut Col., or in the command of the regiment, the Col.
being absent."
U
APPENDIX.
By particular request the opening and closing addresses of the Hon.
Lyman Tremain, president at the late reunion of the Lymans, with
that on the characteristics of the family is subjoined.
Opening Address.
Fellow cousins^ and other relations of the Lyman Family :
I beg you to accept my thanks for the honor you have conferred
upon me, by selecting me to act as your presiding officer, upon this
interesting occasion. The compliment is the more appreciated,
because there are many others present, more deserving of this dis-
tinction, who bear the Lyman surname, while my nearest ancestral
relation, with that name, was my paternal grandmother who was a
full blooded Lyman, my own double Christian name, David Lyman,
having been bestowed on me by my parents, in honor of my father's
uncle, who resided in Salisbury, Connecticut, and was the son of
Simeon Lyman.
Washington Irving gives expression to the following sentiment,
in one of his beautiful essays for the Sketch Book, wherein he de-
scribes Westminster Abbey : " There was a noble way, in former
times, of saying things simply, and yet saying them proudly ; and
I do not know an epitaph that breathes a loftier consciousness of
family worth and honorable lineage than one which affirms, of a
noble house, that ' all the brothers were brave, and all the sisters
virtuous.' " If this broad and comprehensive eulogium, dictated as
we may reasonably infer, by a surviving member of the family of the
deceased, escaped criticism from an observer so acute, and a gen-
tleman so cultivated and correct in his tastes, so delicate in his
sense of propriety, and so elevated and honorable in his views, as
the world renowned American author, Washington Irving, surely,
we have no occasion to withhold the expression of our honest sen-
timents, concerning the Lyman family, by any morbid apprehensions
that we shall seem to be unduly influenced by pride, vanity, or
egotism.
While it may be freely conceded, that there is no personal merit,
whatever, in the accident of our being born members of a family,
which has ever maintained an honorable position in the country, the
fact, nevertheless, is one which may, naturally, and properly, excite
in our breasts, emotions of lively exultation, and profound gratitude.

Nor is the consciousness of such a relationship calculated, in any
degree, as we think, to produce feelings of satisfaction, on our part,
with the reputation which others have achieved, and thus to relieve
us from the duty of maintaining and increasing the good name of
the family. On the contrary, its natural tendency would be to
impress upon every sound and well-balanced mind, the necessity of
upholding the family honor, and to stimulate its members, to prove,
by their life and conduct, that they are not degenerate or unworthy
descejdants of such ancestors.
Love of family, and a feeling of pride in the distinction which
has been acquired by those who are related to us, and in whose veins
flows the blood of our common ancestor, are sentiments, which
naturally result from that family relation, that was ordained by the
Almighty. They are creditable to our common humanity, and are
well calculated to exert a salutary influence, in moulding our prin-
ciples of action, and in controlling our destinies. They are virtues
which belong to the same family, with love of country.
As patriotism is one of the most ennobling passions which can
influence the action of a citizen, so the emotions of which I speak,
when properly guided and directed, lead to the performance of the
noblest aims, and highest duties. Napoleon Bonaparte inspired his
troops, in Egypt, with intense enthusiasm, by the famous apothegm :
" Forty ages look down upon you, from the height of yonder pyra-
mids.'' He was accustomed to excite his soldiers to the perform-
ance of extraordinary feats of bravery and heroism, by appeals to the
former achievements which they, or the army to which they
belonged, had accomplished ; such as, " You belong to the Army of
Italy," or, on beholding the cloudless sun, in the morning of the battle
of Moscow, he exclaims " It is the sun of Austerlitz."
To me, however, it would seem as if no influences or appeals could
be more powerful for good, than those unseen, and silent, but resist-
less forces that flow from ftimily traditions, and from virtue possessed,
and noble deeds performed, by one's own ancestors, for many gene-
rations. Let mo give you, for example, a case, which, I trow, is not
altogether suppositious, so far, at least, as it assumes to give the
past record of the family.
Suppose that the Lyman family had been ever known and honored
as a family loyal to its country, under ail circumstances ; that during
the war of the E,evolution, it was steadfast in its devotion to the
cause of the colonies ; that in all subsequent contests, and trials,
its voice and influence had been uniformly exerted in the same
direction ; that during the late great conflict, it had freely poured
forth its means, and the blood and lives of its members had been
freely off'ered, for the preservation of our nation, and our free insti-
tutions.
Suppose, also, that in the present or future history of our country,
other troubles and wars should arise and a member of this same
family should be surrounded by influences and circumstances hostile
to his country ; that he should even feel and acknowledge the errors
Appendix. 465
of administration, and then suppose that he should be insidiously ap-
proached by the foes of his country, and invited to join in some
movements looking to the overthrow of his government : I think,
in such an hour, I can see him rising, in the dignity of his manhood
casting the tempter behind him, and exclaiming indignantly : " I
belong to the family of Lymaus : a family which has never, yet.
given birth to a traitor to his country ; I know well the consequence
of the position I am about to take. It may lead to the rupture of
my life-long associations, social and political ; it may result in the
sacrifice of my property, and the loss of valued friendships, aye, it
may even lead to my imprisonment and death, but I can not, and I
will not, be the first to bring the foul reproach of treason upon the
honored name of my family. Before one disloyal sentiment can be
uttered, or one treasonal act be performed by me, may my right arm
wither and perish, and my tongue cleave, forever, to the roof of my
mouth.
Infliiences similar to those which we assume, as the result of
family patriotism, naturally flow from all other virtues. If the-
women of the family have hitherto sustained, by their influence and
example, their husbands, brothers, fathers, and sons, in their patriotic
efi'orts; if, in other days, they were known as women of piety,
attending faithfully to the ways of their household, and performing
acts of charity and benevolence, while creating no sensation, by
eccentricities of dress or demeanor, on the platform, or in the public
streets, we may expect that their descendants of the same sex, under
all changes of name and circumstances, will prove, that they have
profited by the example? and teachings of their patriotic and Christ-
ian mothers.
We accept, with joy, the accomplished facts in our family history.
We acknowledge, gratefully, the historical truths, that among the
members of that family who have been gathered to their fathers, and
others who still survive, are many honored names of those who have
acquired enviable distinction in the council chamber, and upon the
field of battle ; who have become eminent in the learned professions,
as divines, lawyers, and physicians ; who have risen about the com-
mon level of humanity, in the pursuit of literature and science,
agriculture, and the mechanic arts.
We feel that the renown and honors, thus acquired, are the com-
mon inheritance of all who belong to the family. We take pride in
acknowledging these achievements, and we hope and trust that the
present and future members of the family, taking up the Lyman
standard, will proudly carry it forward to more decisive and brilliant
successes, in the future battle of life.
In monarchical governments, the subject who has become pre-
eminent by reason of heroic actions, rare merits, or long service, is
sometimes raised to distinction by a patent of nobility, conferred
upon him by the king, who is deemed the fountain of all honors
and distinction. As these patents descend to the heirs of the first
taken, according to the terms therein expressed, it soon comes to
466 Lyman Genealogy.
pass, that they cease to be evidence of merit in their present owner,
and prove onl}', that his ancestor was made a baron, a viscount, an
earl, a marquis, or a duke.
Such aristocratic distinctions were justly regarded by the framers
of our government, as hostile to the spirit of equality and personal
dignity, which lies at the foundation of free republican institutions.
In endeavoring, therefore, to perpetuate the memory of those who
have deserved favorable recognition for their service to the state,
we are acting in strict conformity with the spirit of our national
constitution, which by a double prohibition, denies to the United
States, and to the state, the power to grant any titles of nobility.
We believe that the true and genuine nobleman, is he, who, by
noble deeds, and virtuous conduct, has been accorded a place among
the real nobles of the land, by the voice of the American people.
We have come together, to-day, from widely separated localities,
to revisit the New England homes of the Lyman family. We would
make, and renew our acquaintance, with those in whose veins flows
the blood of the Lymans. We would cultivate, and strengthen, the
bonds of our relationship ; we desire to honor and cherish the
memory of our ancestors. We have gathered here, in obedience to
that law of natural affection, which prompted the ancients to revere
the burial places of their dead, before they had learned to perpetuate
their virtues, in poetry or by the sculptured monument.
Two hundred and forty years have elapsed, since Richard Lyman,
the common ancestor of all the Lymans in this country, emigrated
from the parish of High Ongar, near London, England, to America.
He sailed from Bristol, in the ship Lion, in company with the wife
and oldest son of John Winthrop, the governor of Massachusetts,
and sixty other passengers, and on the 4th of November, 1631, they
landed at Boston. Their safe arrival was announced by the firing
of cannon, and on the 11th of November, a public thanksgiving was
held in Boston, in honor of the event.
Four years later, he left Charlestown, Massachusetts, with Sarah
his wife and his children, accompanied by a colony of about sixty
persons, and driving with them one hundred and sixty head of cattle,
for the purpose of establishing settlements in Connecticut. Their
journey lay through a trackless wilderness, and was attended with
great perils, difficulties, and trials, during which, they subsisted
mainly, upon the milk of their cows, and after fourteen days travel,
they had made the distance of about one hundred miles. He was
one of the first settlers, and original proprietors of Hartford. It is
supposed that he, and his wife, became members of the first church,
in Hartford, of which the renowned Rev. Thomas Hooker was pastor.
He died in August, 1640, and his name was inscribed upon a stone
column, in the rear of the centre church, in Hartford.
The sons of Richard Lyman were among the first settlers of
Northampton, and from this central point, his descendants have
gone forth to every part of our country. After this long interval,
we, who are present here to-day have assembled on Mount Tom, in
Appendix. 467
Northampton, upon the soil of the noble old commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, the cradle of American liberty, to honor the name and
memory of Richard Lyman, and to kindle anew, that love of pure
religion, and civil liberty, which impelled him to leave his native
land, and to seek a home amid the forests of New England.
How mighty and marvellous are the physical, moral, and political
changes that have been wrought in the condition of our country,
since he first entered the valley of the Connecticut ! These can only
be briefly sketched, on this occasion. Eleven years before he landed
at Boston, the Pilgrims had planted their footsteps upon the rock at
Plymouth, and laid, broad and deep, the foundations of free religious
worship, and republican liberty. Two years before. King Charles
the first had granted the charter incorporating " The Governor and
Company of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England. " One year
before, John Winthrop had been chosen governor of Massachusetts,
and had emigrated to the colony, leaving his wife in England, to
follow him when her health would allow.
When Richard Lyman immigrated to Connecticut, the surround-
ing country was thickly covered with the aboriginal inhabitants ;
the Pequods alone numbering seven hundred warriors. They had
evinced a hostile spirit, and several years before, had murdered the
crew of a small vessel, in the Connecticut river.
Bancroft, in his History of the United States, thus speaks of the
emigration by the party to which Lyman was attached : " Never
before had the forests of America witnessed such a scene. But
the journey was begun too late in the season : the winter was so
unusually early, and severe, that provisions could not arrive by way
of the river; imperfect shelter had been provided, cattle perished
in great numbers; and the men suffered such privations that many
of them, in the depth of winter, abandoned their newly chosen homes,
and waded through the snows to the seaboard.
"Yet, in the opening of the next year, agovernment was organized
and civil order established ; and the budding of the trees and the
springing of the grass were signals for a greater emigration to the
Connecticut. "
From such inauspicious beginnings, must we date the establish-
ment of the Lyman family in America. Grod smiled upon the enter-
prise, and who shall set limits to its wonderful results ?
These feeble colonists have become a mighty nation. Where
stood those primeval forests, now stand populous cities, flourishing
towns and villages, and smiling farms and farmhouses, while the
journey that then required fourteen days for its accomplishment is
now made by the iron horse, several times, every day.
The descendants of that brave old immigrant may be numbered
by thousands.* On the printed circular announcing this meeting,
*About 7,300 of these descendants are now recorded in this Genealogy.
Before this work is finished, we hope to give the number living at the
present time.
468 Lyman Genealogy.
I find the names of a committee, composed of Lymans, residino; in
England, in Canada, and in twenty-three states and territories of the
Union. Who can estimate the vast amount and extent of influence
for good in favor of morality, Christianity, the church, and civil and
religious liberty, which, during all these two hundred and forty
years, have been sent forth from the descendants of Richard Lyman,
to bless the country ?
We may learn from this brief retrospective review, that, with the
blessing of Almighty Grod resting upon it, the smallest rivulet may
become the mighty river. We perceive also, what means and influ-
ences may be set in motion, by one earnest, devoted, faithful man.
With hearts overflowing with gratitude, let us improve the lessons
of this hour. Deeply impressed with a sense of our individual
obligations and responsibilities, let us carry away with us, from
Mount Tom, a fixed resolution to bring no discredit, by any act of
ours, upon the good name of the Lymans, and, with God's help, to
do what we can, to promote the welfare of our beloved country, and
the happiness of mankind.
Appendix. 469
Address on the Characteristics of the Lymans, by Eev.
Lyman Coleman, D.D.
The love of kindred and country is common to man of whatever
character, condition, or climate; whether savage or civilized, in the
frozen regions of the north, or on the parched desert, he clings with
fond affection to his native land and kindred tribe. Before our
ancestral home in this beautiful valley was enlightened by learning,
or blessed with religion, it was moistened by the tears of the savage,
as he wandered from the graves of h-is fathers, and the forests and
friends of his youth.
Breathes there the man with soul so dead.
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land !
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned.
From wandering on a foreign strand ?
******
Land of my sires ! what mortal hand
Can e'er untie the filial band.
That knits me to thy rugged strand.
With filial reference and afi"ection we come back to the home of
our fathers. With patriotic pride we come to this good land which
they loved so well. In obedience to the noblest instincts of our
nature we gladly come to this reunion, this greeting of surviving
friends. We come to talk of our noble ancestry, of their stern trials
and their toils in preparing the goodly heritage which they have
transmitted to us. We come to speak of their piety, their patriotism,
and deeds of daring in defense of their homes, and the freedom of their
country. With heart and mind crowded with reflections on the pre-
sent and memories of the past, we engage in these duties, conversing
now, with the living, and now, communing with the dead.
Many of us, as we turn away from this place, will visit the scenes
of our childhood, to hear and to tell the story of our childish compa-
nions. But the visages of these, if they yet survive, we shall find so
marred that in their frosty brow, furrowed cheek, and trembling
limbs we shall scarce discern the lingering lineaments of their youth.
Our most familiar friends will be our native hills, their woods and
streams, and sequestered glens, the village church and the church-
yard, " where the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. ^' Convers-
ing with these we shall visit the hamlet, the house, and the home of
our forefathers. We shall live over with them the life they lived
in their rude simplicity. We shall sit by their frugal board, and
470 Lyman Genealogy.
talk of their tireless toil and self-denial; their firm and faithful
training of ourselves, mixed " with admonition due," by which they
led us up to a vigorous, virtuous manhood. In sad, yet pleasing il-
lusion conversing thus with the old folks at home, we naturally fall
back into days bygone and live over again our childhood and our
youth.
Dear lovely bow'rs of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth when ev'ry sport could please ;
How often have I loiter'd o'er th' green,
Where bumble happiness endear'd each scene !
How often have I paused on ev'ry charm.
The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm :
The never-failing- brook, the busy mill.
The decent church that top't the neighb'ring hill.
At home thus in our native village, charmed with the endearing
memories of the old folks themselves, we can best appreciate their
varied virtues, and characteristics which we here commemorate.
The physical features of our ancestors and some genealogical statis-
tics respecting them may claim a passing notice.
Nothing is known of the personal appearance of Richard our com-
mon ancestor, but the early generations of his descendants appear to
have been a tall, stalwart race, well developed in large proportions,
with strong, trusty hands capable of carving their way through life.
The largest of the family on record brought down the scales far
above SOOlbs., requiring eight bearers to convey his body to the
grave. The tallest of the family was six feet and four inches in
height; many have been six feet and upwards. Some have been
men of gigantic powers who might have stood against Ajax himself
for agility and strength, and wrestled even with Hercules for his
club.
Their limbs were cast in manly mould.
For hardy sports, or contest bold.
For longevity, .the Lymans have not been particularly distin-
guished, though many have passed beyond four-score years, some of
whom are present with us to-day. Of more than 7,000, not one has
attained to 100 years. One, however, a lineal descendant from
the family, has passed that extreme limit of human life. This vene-
rable lady, Mrs. Robinson of Lebanon, Conn., died Sept. 1st, 1871,
aged one hundred and two years, one month, and twenty days. Her
mother was a Lyman, the youngest daughter of Lieut. Jonathan of
Lebanon. This daughter, Ann, married a Tiffany of Norwich
Landing, where Mrs. (Tiffany) Robinson was born July 11, 1769,
the only survivor of the sixth genei'ation. She remembered many
events of the war of the Revolution, especially those which occurred
in Lebanon. As the governor of the state then resided there, aud
was the only legal colonial governor; and as the council of safety of
which the governor was chairman, which was to act when the legisla-
ture was not in session, sat there more than nine hundred days
Appendix. 471
during these seven years of the war, Lebanon had some claim to be
substantially the capital of the state, and was a centre of intelligence
and of important events. She remembered the fact that the larger
part of a legion of French cavalry was stationed there in 1780, and
recalled the namesa nd appearance of the officers. Thus she con-
nected us directly with that remote and now historical period, and
enabled us vividly to conceive of its events.
Her funeral was very numerously attended at the brick church,
Sunday morning; many being present from other parts of the town
and from surrounding towns; a testimony to the interest with which
she was regarded.
Of the Lymans proper the venerable mother of the speaker is
foremost on the record for longevity. After a married life with her
only husband of almost 66 years, and surviving him 10 years, she
rested from her labors at the age of 95 wanting a few weeks, having
been a housekeeper more than 70 years, and a communicant in the
church nearly the same length of time.
The most prolific hranch of the family is that of Richard, the
oldest of the six grandsons of Richard. i He settled at Lebanon,
Conn., and from that wonderful hive his descendants have swarmed
out over all the land ; two thousand seven hundred and thirty-four of
this fraternity are recorded in this book, about twice the number of
the posterity of any other grandson of Richard. The most prolific
family in our connection is that of Dea. Stephen Lyman of Chester
in this state, father of our venerable friend, here present, Dea.
Samuel Lyman of Southampton, who himself has given the record of
337 of his father's descendants all having sprung into life from one
within the range of 100 years. At the same rate of increase, what
an army one hundred years hence from this one family ! But the
earliest generations, in all their hardships and poverty, have been
the most prolific. The ratio of increase has steadily decreased as
successive generations have increased in wealth and luxury. The
largest issue from one marriage is fifteen. The total number of
descendants of Richard the ancestor of all the Lyman Family can-
not be estimated even by probable conjecture. The record of 7,000
has been collected. Many who have been addressed have neglected,
and some have peremptorily refused to give any record of their
families or those of their ancestors. The descendants of the daughters
bearing other names cannot be estimated with any accuracy, but the
sum total who, in 250 years, have sprung from the original immi-
grant, including the living and the dead, may be not far from
15,000 more or less.
Could that venerable patriarch, disheartened by all his losses and
sufi'erings, wandering, " sick and melancholy," in the wilderness in
search of a solitary home, who only by '' Grod's mercy obtained some
little reviving before he died" — could he have beheld in vision this
great and glad assembly of his children, how would his sorrowing
soul have expanded with wonder, gratitude and joy ! Well that
56
472 Lyman Genealogy.
distant vi?ion may be to him now a present, a blest reality. Perhaps
from his orb on high he has, not only a full vision of this scene,
rejoicing with us in gladness of the day, but beholding the great
assembly of all his children who, both on earth and in heaven, but
one communion make — strikes his harp to the loudest, sweetest
notes of praise to God for all his goodness and grace to himself and
his fj.mily.
The adventurous, enterprising spirit of the Lj'mans, should be
noted as a prominent characteristic.
In every enterprise for the settlement of the country and develop-
ment of its resources they have been pioneers. After the settlement
of the other Hamptons, east, west and south, Durham, Goshen, Salis-
bury, and Lebanon, Conn., became early centres of emigration to
the Green Mountains, in Massachusetts, and Vermont, to New
Hampshire, and the Canadas. Age after age they have had a quick,
attentive ear to the rallying cry. Westward, ho! and have been
among the first to start in full pursuit of that ever receding, expand-
ing, undiscovered country, the far west. Within the memory
even of some of us, the far west was just beyond Albany, the German
Flats on the Mohawk, the Johnstown purchase, including Utica,
and Oneida county. Within the lifetime of the speaker, the whole
city of Utica was purchased for twelve cents an acre and regarded as
a poor speculation at that. The original contractor, ridiculed by his
neighbors for wasting his money on lands distant, inaccessible and
useless as the mountainsin the moon, gave up his bargain in despair.
Next, the region of Black river became the far west, then the Genesee
country and Holland purchase became the land of invitation, then
New Connecticut in Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and fioally the whole
state of Ohio, then the great north-west territory and its subdivisions,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and the territories beyond. Into
all these regions the Lymans have pressed foremost to possess the
land, and in them all they or their descendants are still found. They
have traversed the broad plains beyond the Mississippi, explored
the remotest parks and recesses of the Rocky mountains, scaled
their tremendous heights, and spread themselves out over the western
slopes of the mountains to the Pacific coast where every river and
stream rolls down its golden sands. Indeed it may be questioned
whether there is a state or teri'itory of the Union which has not
been marked by the footprints of the Lymans, always excepting
Alaska, that God-forsaken land, swathed in perpetual mist, drenched
with rain, or encased in thick-ribbed ice and snow.
The hardships, self-denials and sufferings of their pioneer and
frontier life is another characteristic of the family.
Cold New England winters passed in rude shanties with crevices
open to the wintry winds wide enough for the hand to be thrust
through the walls into the open air, the garments on going to rest
laid by in a compact roll to protect them from the snow that filtered
-in by night, the bed in the morning covered with a counterpane of
driven snow which melted as it fell upon the face of the sleepers
Appendix. 473
without disturbing their slumbers ; these are the familiar nursery
tales of frontier life, often told in the ears of the speaker as the
training in which his own infancy was nursed.
Long journeys of six weeks with an ox team, in a covered sled,
the palace car by day and the sleeping car by night, running through
a trackless wilderness only passable in winter when swamps and
sloughs and streams are bridged over by the enginei-y of the severest
cold ; these were the luxuries of pioneer travel in the new settlements.
One goes alooe into the forest eighteen miles from the nearest neigh-
bor, driving a young beef creature which is to give up its life for the
support of the adventurous pioneer; the meat is salted in a trough
cut out of a tree felled for the purpose ; the hide, spread on the roof
of his cabin, is soon stolen by the wolves; and the cabin itself, on
returning from his day work, the solitary backwoodsman finds occupied
by an Indian who instantly levels his rifle to his breast, but the
savage is overpowered before he has time to fire, and, divested of his
rifle, is sent peaceably away. Six months the brave pioneer labors
alone in the solitude and perils of the wilderness, and thus begins the
settlement of one of the rich, flourishing towns of Ohio.
Another goes two days' journey into the wilderness, returning
from time to time for provisions which he bears on his shoulder,
camping by night on the cold earth with the canopy of heaven for
the curtains of his bed chamber. This veteran still lives, the patri-
arch of a numerous progeny and a flourishing settlement in Pennsyl-
vania, delighting to tell the story of his frontier life, facetiously
recognizing the kindness of the landlord who charged him nothing
either for entertainment or lodgings. One dies of consumption con-
tracted by similar exposures and hardships. Another kindles a fire
at night by the side of a rock from which a mass, loosened by the
heat, falls upon the sleeper whose slumbers will only be broken by
the trump of God awaking the dead to life. Another goes with his
ox team twenty-four miles into the forest, sleeps under his cart until
ha builds a log cabin and begins a flourishing settlement in Minnesota.
But time would fail to tell of the endless hardships, the heroic
daring and dangers of pioneer life, the horrors of the war whoop,
tomahawk and scalping knife ; of the labors of the field prosecuted
with rifle at hand ; women and children hurrying, horror stricken,
into stockades for protection ; guns stacked in the church prelimi-
nary to the worship of Grod on the sabbath, and all the barbarities of
savage warfare. More of this in the Grenealogy.
Among the mental characteristics of the family may be enumerated
a highly nervous, mercurial temperament.
This has often arisen to such intensity as to disturb the due
balance of the mind, sinking sometimes to a morbid depression of
spirits and again rising to an unnatural exhilaration, not unfrequently
ending in insanity, sometimes in raving madness. So frequent and
far-spread has been this mental bias in diflFerent branches of our
brotherhood, that we must accept a tendency to insanity as a
characteristic of the Lyman family. But this, be it remembered, is
474 Lyman Genealogy.
the infirmity of high intellectual powers: men of the finest intellect
are oftenest insane. It requires a man of mind and spirit, of ardent
impulsive temperament, and highly wrought mental powers to be the
subject of insanity. Such a fever is never stirred in the veins of a
man of sluggish, torpid mould, whose mind is dull as night and dark
as Erebus ; you can not, perhaps, expect much of such a man, but
of one thing be assured, he will never go crazy.
But the temperament which we contemplate, in its normal action
inspires great buoyancy of spirits, irrepressible elasticity under
adversity, and dauntless energy and enterprise in the pursuits of
life. In domestic and social life it manifests itself in habitual
cheerfulness mingled with a quiet humor, facetiousness and plea-
santry which relishes a jest, a joke, a ready retort and repartee, with
a dash sometimes of eccentricity, for which the Lymans are some-
what famous.
The inventive faculty of the Lymans claims a passing notice.
We cannot, perhaps, ascribe to them the highest order of inventive
genius, the profoundest insight into the laws of nature and the
mechanical powers, which calls into play new combinations of
machinery, or undeveloped natural laws that open unknown avenues
of industry and undeveloped sources of national wealth, making the
inventor the benefactor of the world. But we may ascribe to them
many useful inventions and labor saving machines, from the wringer
in the wash tub to the reaper in the field, the threshing machine,
the steam engine and the telescope. Many of these inventions are
of curious workmanship, requiring the most skillful manipulation
and combination of mechanical powers. Not a few have been highly
remunerative, and amply repaid the time and skill of the fortunate
inventor. Others evince surprising ingenuity and skill. How
wonderful the skill that can accurately record the weight of each
car in the train of a lightning express as it sweeps by like some
heavenly body wandering from its course in the heavens !
Next in the enumeration may be specified great fixedness of cha-
racter and firmness of principle as a charactei'istic trait of the Lymans.
Slow they may be in coming to a conclusion, tenacious of their
established modes of thought and " very much set in their way."
How often has this very expression been given as the characteristic
of some patriarch of our family. Sometimes this fixedness may
become a dogged obstinacy, and ripen into a character thoroughly
untractable and detestable, — none more detestable than a willful
man perversely conscientious in a bad cause. Reason with him and
he only becomes more unreasonable. Ply him with arguments,
press upon him your views of duty and you only confirm him in his
own. You can do nothing with him, but let him alone ; handle him
as you would a porcupine, leave ofi" before you begin. You may
perhaps find in the family some of this character, but even this is
an infirmity that leans to virtue's side. Rightly directed, such deci-
sion of character is the noblest characteristic of a great and good
Appendix. 475
Enter into the history of the patriarchal representatives of the
family and you will find that in the political, religious and sensa-
tional tumults of church and society, they have stood firm as the
rock on the beach upon which the billows harmlessly beat and break.
Amid all the commotions of society such an one stands fixed and im-
movable as yonder holyoke resting in settled tranquillity on its own
immovable base.
Our family are worthy of an honorable memorial, for their patri-
otic public spirit.
In the early, forming periods of our new settlements, many an one
has been the pillar of the church and society, the life and soul of
the settlement, foremost in organizing the government of the town
or county, establishing the regular administration of justice, and
the ordinances of religion ; foremost in opening roads, and lines of
public travel ; in erecting the school house, the church, the court
house, the academy, the college. They have been strict observers
of the sabbath, steady attendants upon public worship, and liberal
supporters of every patriotic enterprise, the friend of the friendless,
the father of the fatherless, the counselor of the poor, the stay and
support of the community.
The family have an honorable military and patriotic record.
In every war of our country, they have bravely borne their part.
In the Indian and French wars, in the war of the Revolution, of
1812, and the Rebellion, they have left the field, the shop, the
counting room, the bar, the pulpit, at their country's call to the
battle field in her defense, ever ready to rally round her flag,
whether in the heat of battle or in the forlorn hope storming the
stronghold of the foe. From the town of Lebanon, Conn., contain-
ing only about 2,000 inhabitants, more than 500 were, at one time,
in the ranks of the Revolutionary army.
Lieut. John commanded the first expedition against the Indians
from Northampton, in the famous Falls fight, above Deerfield.
Gen. Phineas Lyman of Durham, Conn., was for a time commander
in chief of the American forces. By his generalship and bravery
at the battle of Lake George, though holding a subordinate office,
he gained a decisive victory over the French forces, taking their
commander, Baron Dieskau, a prisoner of war. He possessed mili-
tary talents of the highest order, second only to our own great
Washington.
Gen. Daniel Lyman, colonel in the continental army, lawyer,
judge, and chief justice, assisted at the capture of Ticonderoga,
Grown point and St. John's and was president of the Society of Cin-
cinnati. Col. Moses Lyman of Goshen, Conn., was detailed to
watch the movements of Burgoyne on the night before the battle,
and was the first to report his change of position which opened the
way for the battle and the surrender of Burgoyne. For these import- '
ant services Col. Lyman was commissioned as a special messenger
to bear to Gen. Washington the tidings of the victory. He was also
commander of the guard over Major Andr^ ; and on the night pre-
476 Lyman Genealogy.
vious to his execution, Benjamin Lyman of Easthampton, Mass.,
stood guard over that gallant, distinguished and unfortunate captive.
Another was an aid to Gen. Putnam in the battle of Bunker hill ;
so efficient and daring that Putnam said, that with a thousand of
such men he would drive every red coat out of the land. Major
Lyman of Vergennes, Vt., at the battle of Plattsburgh bravely fought
with heroic endurance at the risk of his life. Every grade of
office in military life, from corporal to commander-in-chief, has at
some time been occupied by one or more of the Lyman family.
Great numbers crowded the ranks of the noble army of volunteers
for the suppresion of the late rebellion. Four brothers from one
family, all married men, with young wives and children dependent
on them for their daily bread, went into the fight, braved every hardship,
every danger of long campaigns and bloody battle-fields, and all re-
turned unharmed to the embrace of their families. Nine from East
Hampton, Mass., enlisted in their country's service and four of them,
on rebel soil, gave up their lives in her defense.
Not a few in this assembly gave their gallant sons at their country's
call. The first-born of our honored chairman , a youth of lofty
talents, rarest culture and highest promise passed bravely through
twenty-five battles, arose high in rank and then, laden with honors,
gave up his young life on the field of battle in defense of the flag and
freedom of his country.
The ladies were, if possible, more daring, more devoted than the
men. One rode alone twelve miles on horseback in a dark rainy night
through a rebel country, past the enemy's lines to convey important
intelligence to the loyal army. Another saved the life of her loyal
father by throwing her sacred person between him and the weapon
of the rebel assassin aimed at his breast in her own parlor.
Nor must we forget the little drummer boy who at the age of
thirteen, before he was able himself to bear arms, joined the army
that, by the tap of his drum, he might summon others of stronger
arm and firmer foot to the deadly combat. The brave boy quailed
not at the shock of contending ranks, but everywhere when needful
was heard, rising above the din of battle, his rat-tat-too rallying the
lines to march on to their" gory bed, or to victory." All honor to
the noble mother who gave the child to her country at this tender
age. All honor to the brave boy who firmly stood where the bravest
might well have quailed.
But the crowning excellence of this family is and ever has been
their purity of morals and high Christian character.
In these virtues all and each of the six branches of the family
have been distinguished. No exemption is claimed for them from
the depravity and sin which infest the race. Instances of irreligion
and impiety and immorality there may have been. But of the thou-
sands whose record has been collected, none has been convicted of
high crimes and misdemeanors; none hassufi"ered the extreme penal-
ties of the law ; not one is known to have been a defiant, scoffing
unbeliever; one only, so far as the record goes, has filled a drunkard's
Appendix. 477
grave. Other inebriates there may have been ; we have not been
careful to search into the secret history of individuals or of families,
nor would we if we could expose each less pleasing feature of their
characters. If any have done evil let it not live after them in the
memory of surviving friends, nor be chronicled in history. But we
may speak of the virtues of our forefathers, their high conscientious-
ness, their firmness of principle, their devout and humble piety, and
their steadfast adherence to the faith of their fathers. None better
understood the chief end of man. They learned it early in the cate-
chetical instructions of the patriarchal fireside when Sunday schools
were unknown. None have more faithfully sought or more fervently
prayed for grace so to live as to " glorify God and enjoy Him for-
ever." Few, very few, have ever swerved from the faith of their
fathers to other Christian denominations ; fewer still have denied that
faith, or received another gospel which yet is no gospel. One is a
Roman Catholic priest, one has been a Mormon, one of the twelve
apostles of that sect whom he has now abandoned, and a few of his
connections are still enrolled among the Latter Day Saints of Salt
Lake City.
But whole households, generation after generation, have without
an exception professed the faith, the hopes, the personal piety of
their ancestors. Many families, already passed beyond the flood,
are safely gathered there we doubt not, an unbroken household in
heaven. And many a lingering remnant of death-divided families
awaits only the summons to go and complete again the circle of
his own family in that far ofl" sinless land to which they have been
received before him.
But this visit with the old folks at home will be incomplete and
unsatisfactory unless we go " to meeting" with them on Sunday.
The good man goes on horseback, with his good wife on pillion
behind him, a child, or grand-child in one arm while the other holds
her securely in her seat behind her husband. The boys and girls
are trudging silently along barefoot with shoes and stockings in hand
to keep them neat and clean and free from useless wear until the
old square meeting house, with horse block hard by coming into
view, stifi", stately and cold on the green, becomes the signal for
completing with stockings and shoes their Sunday suits. Within
the church there are the old square pews compactly arranged like
cattle pens at a fair, with high backs, and seats hung on hinges for
the people conveniently to lean on the railing during the prayer of
half an hour or an hour's length ; then at the conclusion the startling
rattle of seats falling down awakes the profoundest slumbers into
which any in the prayer have fallen, bending over the railings of the
pews. These pews have been auly " dignified" by a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, and the families carefully assorted and
seated according to their " ages, state and parentage." The young
folks according to their sex are assigned to the opposite galleries,
and the old bachelors and unmarried maidens, — well they are
seated under the stairs leading to the galleries, or, as a kind of
478 Lyman Genealogy.
small change, they fill every vacant gap about the house. There is
the old pulpit and the winding staircase leading up to its towering
height. The deacons are in their seats below and the man of God,
perched high above, with the huj^e sounding board overhead to
reflect the preacher's voice, as he, for an hour or more, through fif-
teen or twenty heads and as many inferences, screams out to his hear-
ers down below, many of whom, in spite of their " smelling bottles,"
dill and caraway seeds have fallen fast asleep, under the dead mono-
tony of his dull discourse.
The service ended, a short intermission follows, spent in the sab-
hath houses built for this purpose on the common. Here the family
take their Sunday dinner, which has been carefully brought in one
side of the saddlebags, balanced on the other by milk in a wooden
bottle ; the remainder of the intermission is occupied with the dis-
cussion of the sermon and the reading aloud of some of the children
until the services of the afternoon begin.
But we are admonished that the hour has come when we must
break this charming illusion in which, communing with former gene-
rations, we have again lived over our childhood and renewed departed
joys — departed never to return. Farewell, departed scenes ! Na-
tive village and sacred homes, farewell ! Venerable ancestors !
Kindred dear passed unto the skies, farewell ! a long farewell !
Swiftly, oh, how swiftly, the generations of men are swept away
on the ceaseless tide of time. They rise, like the waves of the ocean,
roll awhile on its tumultuous waters, alternately gilded by the sun-
beam and darkened by the storm, then sink and mingle with their
original element undistinguished, unheeded. Time, in its ceaseless
course, has swept away seven generations of our family, and we of
the eighth, standing now on the verge of dark eternity, shall sink
soon in the devouring depths of that dread ocean that lies outspread
before us. As a collective assembly we shall never meet again.
Other generations may gather here as we do now when we are
gathered with the dead. But though a man die, yet shall he live
again. And you, ye sons of sainted sires in heaven, here on this
goodly mountain, now in glad communion met for 07ie hrief day —
may you all — without exception — all — meet again on Mount Zion
above, in a reunion infinitely more perfect, more joyous, to be pro-
longed and yet prolonged through blest eternity's long day.
Appendix. 479
Closing Address by the Chairman.
The hour of eleven having arrived, on the morning of the second
day, the moderator, the Hon. Lyman Tremain, arose and addressed
the meeting as follows :
My friends, I am admonished by the hand on yonder clock, that
the hour has arrived when I am obliged to separate from you, and
take the cai-s for my home. But before I leave you, I desire to
express my acknowledgments and thanks to those thoughtful mem-
bers of the family by whom the idea of calling this meeting of the
Lyman family was conceived and has been carried into execution.
It was a happy thought, and notwithstanding the inauspicious
weather which we had yesterday in the grove, I am sure that in the
future, we shall forget that, and that the occasion will be remem-
bered with gratitude and satisfaction by all who have had the good
fortune to participate in its pleasures and privileges.
We have, some of us, been enabled, for the first time, to visit the
beautiful locality where we assembled yesterday, to behold the
delightful scenery in the valley of the Connecticut, which surrounds
it, to renew old acquaintances, and to fopm new ones with those who
are related to us by the ties of a common kindred; we have, also,
learned from the Rev. Dr. Coleman's excellent address, many inter-
esting and valuable facts, concerning the characteristics and history of
the family, of which we might, otherwise, have remained uninformed.
I speak, I am sure, the sentiments of all present when I add that we
never can be too grateful to the Doctor, for his willingness to con-
tinue the work of publishing the book containing the history of the
family, notwithstanding the great affliction under which he is suf-
fering, from the recent death of his wife and child, in which he has
our most profound sympathy.
And now the time has come, when we are called upon to separate
and return to our respective homes, perhaps, many of us, never more
to meet again, on earth. But we shall carry away with us, renewed
regard for our New England homes, for our New England ancestry,
and for those great truths which had their American origin, in this
section of our country.
In many respects, this family gathering and others of a similar
character, serve to symbolize or typify the nation to which we belong,
which is only an aggregation of numerous families. Many, and
perhaps most of those who have gathered here, to-day, had their
birth place, and have their present residence, outside of the bound-
aries of New England. Their social associations, their pecuniary in-
57
480 Lyman Genealogy.
terests, their local attaeliments, and all those natural and honora-
ble feelings of state pride which are connected with the land of our
. birth place, unite us with other and perhaps distant states. Indeed,
our union with New England, rests mainly upon that sentiment,
wholly incapable of definition or analysis, which draws us with its
silken and mysterious, but powerful bonds, to the home of our ances-
tors. And yet, I know that no unjust censures could be uttered in
our presence against New England, nor any blow be aimed at her
welfare, prosperity and happiness, that would not occasion emotions
of grief, and be regarded by us all almost as a personal injury.
(Much applause). And in such sentiments, everywhere prevailing,
throughout our country, lies, I think, one of the secret sources of our
national union, and its strength, cohesion and perpetuity.
We all remember, that at the commencement of our la-te civil war,
there were those, among us, who claimed that it was the restless,
meddling spirit of interference, in the affairs of others, which
characterized the New Englauder, that had caused the war, and the
sovereign remedy recommended by these wise-acres for existing evils,
was the formation of a new union with " New England left out in
the cold." These shallow and superficial quacks were mainly those
who sympathized with the rebellion. They wholly failed to compre-
hend the true nature, or the gigantic magnitude of the great contest,
and it was not long, before the prompt, the patriotic, and the noble
efforts made by New England to preserve our common country,
silenced these senseless clamors.
It has been related of a prominent Ohio politician, who had,
thoughtlessly, repeated the outcry against New England, that when
he came to look around him, and consider the elements of which the
community was composed, and when he came to takeout from among
the people those who were born in New England, or were the descend-
ants of New Englanders, those who had married New England wives^
or the children of New England parents, and, also, those who had
been instructed by New England school masters, or schoolmistresses,
he found that those who were left would not amount to much, and
so he concluded to say no more about " leaving New England out
in the cold." (Laughter and applause).
Indeed should that day ever come when a new union should be
formed that did not embrace the territory of New England, the
object sought to be accomplished, by her foes, would be only par-
tially effected. It would still be necessary to annihilate those great
political doctrines of liberty and equality which have been dissemi-
nated, throughout the length and breadth of the land, by the in-
fluence, the teachinsis, and the example of New England. You
must then change the entire structure of your government, and
undermine the great bulwarks of popular rights, which lie at the
very foundation of our republican institutions.
When you shall have succeeded in destroying the system of local
self-government by town meetings, which is the child of New
Appendix. 481
England ; wten you shall have destroyed free schools, free churches,
freedom of speech, and a free press; when you have subverted that
inherent lope of fair play, and of political and religious liberty that
constitute the essential elements in the character of our people, then
and not till then, will New England be really left out in the cold.
These great changes once wrought, and our boasted free insti-
tution would be like the play of Hamlet, with Hamlet's part omitted :
the shell without the oyster, the body, without the soul.
True you might, then, have peace and order, but it would be the
peace of the grave, the order that prevailed at Warsaw. Indiffer-
ence on the part of the people as to public and political affairs, would
take the place of that eternal vigilance which, we are taught, is the
price of liberty.
True, we might, under the new order of things, allow the few to
govern the many, and thus be relieved from a world of responsibiHty
and care. We might sleep on, while corruption was destroying the
very vitals of the nation. We might hear the pleasant signals of
our sentinels declaring that all is well, at the moment when scheming
and ambitious men were plotting the destruction of our liberties, or
corruption, ignorance and vice had already fired the train which
they had prepared, while the flames were ready to burst forth and
destroy the government of our fathers.
True, we might, no longer, be disturbed by the strong and stimu-
lating breezes that sometimes blow over the country, from the hills
and mountains of New England, but these, I think, are far better
than the nauseous odors that indicate incipient decay, and approach-
ing dissolution.
For myself, I would not substitute that robust, and, if you please,
rough spirit of New England equality, that declares one man to be as
good as another, for the rule of the best king or queen that ever sat
upon a throne. Give me that searching and restless spirit of investi-
gation which is the attribute of an enlightened popular liberty, although
it transgresses, at times, the ordinary rules of courtesy, rather than
the popular indifference, bigotry, superstition and intolerance which,
for so many years, have impeded the progress of human rights and
Christian civilization.
The day has gone by, I trust forever, when we shall again hear
the shameful proposal mooted to leave any part of our beloved country
out in the cold. The union and every part of it has been cemented
by the best blood of the American people.
Let us, then, not be ashamed of our New England origin or our New
England ancestors. The soil that we find throughout that little cluster
of commonwealths, which we call New England, may not be as rich
as the prairie lands of the great northwest, or the fertile valley of the
Mississippi, but it was in that soil that the seeds of liberty were planted
on this continent, and there the roots have penetrated deep into the
earth. Nor need we be disturbed by the ridicule which is sometimes
uttered against the puritans of New England.
482 Lyman Genealogy.
What if they do say, that those old fellows were accustomed to
whip their beer barrels because the beer would work on Sundays.
Better do that we answer, than to spend Sunday in guzzling down
villainous bad -whisky that will " kill at forty rods," that leads to
rioting and drunkenness, and causes broken bones, bruised heads
and bloody noses. (Laughter and applause).
Permit me, in conclusion, to say that the best advice I can give
to the youth of the Lyman family is, that they may display, in their
future career, those same sterling qualities of courage, patience, en-
durance and heroic devotion to the principles of civil and religious
freedom, which were so honorably exemplified by their ancestors, in
the early history of New England.
