Re: Margret Lyman (born abt. 1835)

min11968 — 2012-04-21 15:53:46Z

Thanks for response. Since my original post we have confirmed with death certificates Margret's parents to be Whiting Lyman & Hannah Latson(?), so it appears we are probably not looking at the same Margret. Another distant cousin (whom I connected with thru ancestry) are researching the Whiting line but so far have not been able to find his parents. We have brothers, Whiting & John living in Amenia, NY. I have sent to Albany for multi-yr. search for Whiting's (my 3rd great-grandfather) death certificate-nothing back yet. My tree is public or if you would like any other info, please let me know. There still could be a connection.....you never know! Thanks again for contacting me. Janet

I have seen on later 1880 Census, etc. of several Lyman's listed in NY State as being from Ireland.

Re: Whiting Lyman

johnloughney1 — 2012-01-08 21:44:21Z

Hi,

Not sure if you are still viewing this board, but I have a James Lyman, born about 1810, who is reportedly his brother. Can share sources, etc.

SUSANCOEHOLBROOK — 2011-12-22 23:17:05Z

Thank you so much for this bit of nostalgia. Being a Lyman (Branch) and so close to Mt. Tom (I swim there often), it's interesting when I read of what it was like.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Re: John Lyman VT

jeremyLyman51 — 2011-12-19 21:46:21Z

John's parents were Simeon Lyman & Abigail Beebe. The line goes up from there to Moses Lyman, then John Lyman, then Richard Lyman & Sarah Osborne who were the first Lymans to immigrate to America from England.

Hulda's parents were Samuel Brinsmade & Mahitable Hubbell.

If you email me- jeremyjL@gmail.com I can provide you with a lot more information.

I have read that John Lyman (Laura's father born 1763) was a Revolutionary War veteran, but I have not been able to find any stories or information about this. If you have any, it would be appreciated.

Re: Levi Lyman, Sr and Jr + Sarah Cornwall + Adam Fairchild

johnloughney1 — 2011-11-09 23:58:20Z

Thanks for replying. James shows up on the 1840 census, and later census has him married to Julia; I've requested a copy of her death certificate to see if I can get any further.

I haven't seen other Lyman families in the general area in that time frame, so it could be a connection ...

thanks,
John

Re: Levi Lyman, Sr and Jr + Sarah Cornwall + Adam Fairchild

Pricy — 2011-11-09 23:51:52Z

Hi John

I show Levi and Sarah's children as Elizabeth, Amy, Sally Ann, Wager W and Levi. Thus far no James, but I suppose it's possible - if he is a member of this family then he would have been born between Amy and Wager and there is a time factor allowing it, but to date in all my research haven't seen any James.

Re: Levi Lyman, Sr and Jr + Sarah Cornwall + Adam Fairchild

johnloughney1 — 2011-11-09 22:37:10Z

Do you have any info on Levi's siblings? I have a James Lyman, born in 1810 in NY. In 1840, he was living in Washington Township, Dutchess County NY. The Census reports both parents were born in the US.

Help with Lyman family in Dutchess County, NY in the 1800s

johnloughney1 — 2011-11-07 00:21:27Z

Hi,

I am looking for more information on James Lyman (born in NY about 1810) and his wife Julia (unknown maiden name - born in NY in 1815). James shows up in the 1840 census in Washington, Dutchess County. James, Julia show up on the 1850 census in Amenia with children Ethelinda, Betsy, Catherine, James Jr (who served in the Civil War), Sarah, Harriet (my great great grandmother), Mary and Charlotte. I don't find any other record of James, but Julia is listed as a widow on the 1880 census, living with my great grandparents Enoch Tompkins and Harriet Lyman Tompkins. Julia died in November 1890 and is buried in St. Peters Cemetery in Lithgow, NY.

Any help appreciated.

Re: Surname:"Lyman"...I know it's from Germany, but exactly where?

ptlyman — 2011-10-16 22:17:42Z

The surname Lyman is English and goes back through Richard Lyman who came to Massachusetts with his family in 1629 and is descended directly from "Alfred the Great"
Hope that helps

Re: edwin lyman

HaroldSeckman — 2011-10-13 22:39:06Z

I know that there was an area near Aransas Pass called Sunshine Texas. There is a possibility that there was an old cemetery in this area. If there was a grave stone it may not be there now. Edwin and Jane Lyman lived in this area. I hope you can find more I do not live in Texas. Who are the grandparents of your husband? I knew of many when I would visit my ggrandmother Mary Pricilla Lyman in Gonzales, Texas. I have many pictures and I will share if you are interested. Please let me know I have been collecting our Lyman geneology since the 1990s Dorothy

Lace_Lynch — 2011-09-26 03:16:03Z

LYMAN Samuel Kealoha Ohelo Lyman passed away on September 24, 2011 at Licking Memorial Hospital's Selma Markowitz Care Center.

Sam was born on July 14, 1943 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Samuel Kalei and Viola (Ohelo) Lyman.
After graduating from Kailua High School in 1961, Sam served in the United States Navy for four years, including a tour in Vietnam.
He spent most of his career in the aerospace industry as a programmer, and the past several years with the Ohio State Highway Patrol as a Network Administrator.
Anyone who has met Sam knows of his compassion for others, positive attitude, and laid back Hawaiian style!
He loves riding his motorcycles, playing cards, and traveling back to Hawaii whenever possible to reconnect with his family, friends, and the islands.
He is survived by his daughters, Samantha (Robert) Macchia, Amber (Gerad) Brasch; and four grandchildren, Alec Laimana and Aidan Kekoa Macchia, and Kanalei Alise and Keikona Kealoha Brasch.
Also surviving are siblings, Joseph and Lloyd Ohelo, Norman Hanuna, Michael Kim and Babe Huber.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at St. Edwards Catholic Church, 785 Newark Granville Road, Granville, Ohio 43023

His ashes will be brought home to Hawaii in Summer 2012 for burial.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial donation in Sam's honor to The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, PO Box 183112, Columbus, OH 43218-3112. CRISS-SCHOEDINGER FUNERAL HOME in charge of arrangements. Online condolences can be made at www.caringbridge.com/ visit/ samlyman. or by going to www.CrissSchoedinger.com.

desanchez25 — 2011-09-19 03:06:43Z

I am stuck trying to go back further. I know his SS number and date of death but I am still stuck. Any advice on how to get a birth certificate if I don't know where he was born? All the information I have is that he was born in New York.
He has a son Michael b 1927 and Mary b 1923 and a Wife named winifred Mccue.

That is a great article. Thank you for sharing, from the Lymans in Indiana.

Re: family crest

twlyman — 2011-09-07 02:36:18Z

Here's what I found. The shield shares features with others I've seen...acutually this shield is one quarter of a shield I've seen in another Lyman coat of arms. Scarlet or crimson is uniform, as is the argent (silver) color. The red circle represents felicity, I'm told. Hope that helps.

Re: Isabelle Douglas Lyman - are you related?

SUSANCOEHOLBROOK — 2011-07-17 17:41:19Z

Moses Lyman was a cousin of mine. I'd be interested in this piece of nostalgia if you are ever willing to part with it.

Isabelle Douglas Lyman - are you related?

mgbiebel — 2011-07-17 16:43:41Z

I am not related to the Lymans but my great-aunt's husband was Isabelle Lyman Douglas. My sister has a little child's chair that belonged to her and would be happy to send it to a direct descendent. There is a note tied to the underside of the chair that says, "This chair was given my grandmother when a little girl about 1813 or 15. After she married my grandfather Moses Lyman of Goshen, Conn in 1834. She used to sit by the fireplace in this little chair to dress and undress her babies of whom my father was the eldest. She left the chair to me. Isabelle Lyman Atwater.

I believe the grandmother to whom she refers was Mary Ann Holley (1813-1989). Isabelle Douglas Lyman lived 1867-1957.

Lymans of Albany County NY

therearefour — 2011-05-16 18:35:00Z

My great grandfather's (Charles Blair) cousin was Eva Lyman Wallace. I believe her siblings were: Charles, John, Tilly, Bertha, William and Thomas. I believe her father was John but do not know her mother's name. Is anyone searching this line? I would like to learn her mother's surname to determine if it was Blair. They lived in the Albany County (Cohoes) Ward 3 area at least from 1900 to 1910, possibly longer. Thanks for any help you can provide.

William "Bill" Lyman

erjohns01 — 2011-04-18 23:30:27Z

I am looking for ancestry information for a Bill Lyman who I'm told was in the CIA who married Gladys. I don't know if this is true, but I'm told one of their daughters married someone with the surname O'Carol. Also there is some relation to Carnegie Hall. I think it was one of Bill's daughters.

This is all I have. There is some relation to my Murphy family tree there somewhere. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Timothy Lyman - Miami County, Ohio

greshaaa — 2010-09-23 13:42:46Z

Hello!

I'm looking for information about Timothy Edward Lyman who was born in Cincinnati around 1846. He served in the Civil War and then married Mary Mast in 1865. They had several children: Mary (married Edward R. Johnston); Dora (married John W. Fox); Annetta (married William F. Steiner), Samuel Lyman, and Timothy Lyman, Jr (married Nellie Fitzsimmons). They lived in Covington and Piqua, Ohio, though Dora and her family lived in Little York, Montgomery County Ohio. I have yet to find the names of Timothy's parents, though I know they immigrated from Ireland and I think his father's name started with a G. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I am descended from Benjamin(Revolutionalry War Soldier from Kitley, Canada), Barnabas (Kitley, Canada), Anna married to James Bush Allen, James B. Allen, Anna Mae Allen, etc.

I will send you a PDF of the Addendum (if you send me an email address) I have a (inherited) copy. It was published privately and probably only went to the family members.
