    [There was a second son named Lyman born into this family in 1810, and his Roxbury death record in 1847 says he was born in Athol, age 36, and so this evidence appears to form a complete and consistent circle. Therefore, we are left to assume both of these death records are intended to refer to this first son named Lyman. The church record of the unnamed son doesn't add up with the recorded birth, and either the birth should be 1808, or the death should be 1808. The death of 11 year old Lyman is very confusing. If we assume the second Lyman lived until 1847 as evidence suggests, the accuracy of this record seems to be refuted by the second Lyman's birth in 1810. The only reasonable explanation would be that the year should be 1808, and the age at death was calculated based on the wrong date, since it calculates to the correct birth of 3 Feb 1807. So both death records appear messed up, but both would be correct if the death dates were corrected to 1808.]
