[Note: this entry does not appear to suffer from excessive attention. It does not give a marriage date for the second marriage of the father, and so identifies the wrong mother, the date of that marriage preceding Lyman's birth. Further it appears to simply use the death location as the birth location, even though all previous siblings and the next sibling are said to be born in Warwick, and it is explicitly said that the father lived in Warwick in 1792.]
