Those who were removed from the churh by death or otherwise, previous to February 25th, 1756, are not found in the foregoing list ; no record is to be found of them. Names are doubtless omit- ted of some who have been communicants, and members of the church ; since that time, our records are defective. Some names who were known to be communicants are not on the church records ; when known their names were inserted in this list, that the list may be as accurate and full as practicable, yet I presume in some measure deficient.

THE LYMAN FAMILY.

APPENDIX.


Deacon Aaron Lyman (No. 3), in the column of figures representing names, was a grand-son of John Lyman of Northampton. The name of John Limon is found there at the organizing of the church in 1661, or about that time, as a prominant actor in the affairs of the place. He had several sons. Benjamin, his son, was father of Aaron (3). Caleb, was another son of John. Some of that branch of the family moved to Northfield. Joseph was another son of John; he died in Northampton, Feb- ruary, 1691, aged 21. John, the father, died there Au- gust 20, 1690, aged 66. Deacon Aaron Lyman was one of the first settlers in Cold Spring, in 1731. He was born in Northampton, 1705; married Eunice Dwight, a sister of Capt. Nathaniel Dwight (42), about 1732. Jo- siah Lyman (221), was a son of Aaron, born in 1736; he married Sarah Worthington, of Colchester, Conn., and raised a family here. Aaron (230), his oldest son, resid- ed here many years ; married Electa Graves ; was a dea- con in this church. Josiah, moved late in life, to Go- shen, in this County, and died at an advanced age. Jo- siah had other sons-Giles (249), and Jonathan (261). (See these numbers in column of figures). A brother of Aaron (3), moved to Southampton; his name was Ben- jamin ; he died there in 1762, aged 60. The Lyman family have all removed from this place. I am not aware that a branch of it remains with us. They were highly respected and useful in their day here, and decided pat- rons of the religious interests in the place. It is suppos- ed that John Lyman was the progenitor of all by the name of Lyman, in this part of the country.
