"John, known as Lieut. Lyman, b. in High Ongar, Sept, 1623, came to New England with his father, m. Dorcas, dau. of John Plumb, of Branford, Conn. 1654, settled in Northampton, Mass., where he resided until his death, 20 Aug., 1690, at the age of 67. Lieut. John Lyman was in command of the Northampton soldiers, in the famous Falls fight above Deerfield, May 18, 1676. The American House, which was burnt a few years since in Northampton, stood in front of his house lot. His epitaph in Northampton, the fifth in the collection of Hopkins, Bridgman & Co., is given as an example of the rude simplicity of the times:
