Notes:

Richard Lyman was baptized in High Ongar, Essex, England on 12 Sept 1611. His parents were Henry Lyman and Elizabeth Rande (TAG 30:187-90). He was married to Sarah Osborn by 1611 in England.

He arrived in New England Sept 1631 with his wife Sarah and children Richard, Sarah, John and Robert. Initially he settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts where he was admitted to the church as member #11. He later moved to Hartford (1636-The Great Removal to Connecticut) where he died. His will was written by him 22 Apr 1640. Eleven months later on 3 Mar 1640/41 he was referred to in a record as being deceased, having died sometime between those two dates.

It has been stated that Sarah Osborn is the daughter of Richard Osborn of Halstead, Kent, but there is no support for that.

Richard Lyman appears in the "Great Migration Begins: Series" and all the above information is from that source.

In a book by Lyman Coleman in 1872 titled "Lyman Family in Great Britain and America" gives a lengthy genealogy of Richard Lyman's ancestors in England. This genealogy has since been disproved and we can not be certain of any ancestors beyond his father and two generations beyond his mother.

Among the descendants of Richard Lyman are Samuel Colt, Lyman Hall (Signer of the Declaration of Independence), J.P. Morgan, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Julia Gardiner Tyler, and the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville.

Notes:

Some older sources claim that Sarah was the d/o Roger Osborne of Halstead, Kent, but there is no support for this identification!!! Although baptism record of her son Richard lists mother as Sarah Osborn. But we cannot show a connection to Roger Osborn.

Notes:

In spite of various on-line trees we have no solid evidence of the parentage of Henry Lyman.

Donald Lines Jacobus, in his article (TAG Vol. 30 [1954] pp. 187-190), says only that Henry Lyman (father of Richard the emigrant) was "quite probably son of an earlier Henry and Joan."

Henry married Elizabeth Rande. Elizabeth (daughter of Peter Rande and Joan Unknown) was born before 1560 in England; died in Apr 1587 in High Ongar, Essex, England; was buried on 15 Apr 1587 in High Ongar, Essex, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
