9th ggf of Gordon Fisher "HENRY LYMAN, born probably in Navistock, High Ongar,Essex, about 1560, was buried in Navistock, 4 May 1605. He married, about 1576, PHYLLIS STANE, daughter of Richard Stane of High Ongar. She married, in Navistock, 26 Apr. 1608, WILLIAM GREEN, of Luton. (P) The *Lyman Genealogy*, by Coleman, published in 1872, is probably correct in its identificationof Richard Lyman, of Hartford, Conn. The latter had children named *Phyllis*, *Richard*, *Sarah*, *John* and *Robert*. We find Richard's baptism recorded in High Ongar, 30 Oct. 1580, son of Henry Lyman. But nothing is given as *proof* of the forbears of the said Henry, or his inheritance of any right tobear arms. In fact, our Richard is designated as "Goodman," as would be thecase if he belonged to the upper class. Such distinctions of social positionwere very clear in the early records of New England. Also, no silver or other items appear in Richard's inventory. It is probable that Henry was not a descendant of the armorial Lyman family and certainly without further research in regard to the ancestry of Henry, father of Richard, we can claim no arms for Richard. This genealogy is not at all clear about the actual extractsit prints. For instance, is our Richard merely called a son of Henry and Phyllis? In one instance, the author mixes the records pertaining to this Henry with those of his son, Henry. (P) Apparently there was a family of Lymans'which was settled in High Ongar as early as 1521, and correspondence, stillextant, shows that there was some relationship between them and a Sir John Leman, Lord Mayor of London, for Elizabeth, widow of Henry Lyman, calls him kinsman, in a letter. [handwritten note in this copy: "If Phyllis marr. (2) WmGreene 1608 how can Elizabeth be widow of Henry? See Amer. Gen. "Mother of Richard Lyman."" However, see below where it shows the Henry married to Elizabeth as son of this Henry.] (P) Children, baptised in High Ongar, and Navistock, Essex: i. JUDITH, bapt. 2 Nov., bur., 24 Nov., 1578. ii.
