• 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.
