Lyman, Richard (b. 1580, d. AUG 1640)

Note: The Lyon departed London about August 23, 1631, with "about" 60 passengers and arrived at Nantasket November 2, 1631. [Source: "The Planters of the Commonwealth", pages 94-95] Among the passengers were: Richard Lyman, of High Ongar, Essex, bound for Roxbury; Mrs. Sarah Lyman; Phyllis Lyman; Richard Lyman, Jr.; Sarah Lyman; John Lyman; Robert Lyman

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 General court, 11th June, 1635, and on the 15th of October, 1635, he took his departure with his family from Charlestown, joining a party of about one hundred persons, who went through the wilderness from Massachusetts into Connecticut, 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 heavens, nor any lodgings but those which simple nature afforded them. They drove with them one hundred and sixty head of cattle, and, by the way, subsisted in a great measure on the milk of their cows. Mrs. Hooker was borne through the wilderness 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 strangers to fatigue and danger.--Trumbull's Colonial Records.

The party first struck the Connectiquot, the Quinnitukut, 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, suffered 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 Sarah formed a connection with the first church in Hartford, 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, 1, 442 and 443, and followed 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 afterwards.

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 œ3 10s. 0. Goodman was the common title of the age for gentleman or Mister. This was doubtless Richard Lyman who victualed thus the pinnace.
