Notes for MARY LYMAN:
[2836643.FTW]
The birth of Mary Lyman went unrecorded in Northampton records and therefore th ere is no absolute certainty
that John Lyman, Jr., and Mindwell (Sheldon) Pomer oy were her parents. Most genealogists--but by no means
all--place John Jr. an d Mindwell as her parents because Northampton records show no births in this fa mily
between 1693, when a son John was born, and 1698, when a daughter Esther w as born. Mary is given a birth
year of 1695 or 1696 and inserted into this fam ily line. This seeming arbitrariness might indicate that her
grandparentage (L ieut. John Lyman and Dorcas Plumb) is also suspect, and that may very well be, but that the
immigrant ancestor, Richard Lyman, and his wife, Sarah Osborne, we re her great-grandparents there can be no
doubt: Richard and Sarah's three son s (Richard, Lieut. John, and Robert) were the progenitors of all males and
fema les in Northampton named Lyman in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centurie s.
