• Notes

  The birth of Dr. Solomon Wyman seems not to have been recorded with any Town Clerk, but his lineage can be determined with highprobability by using strong circumstantial evidence. Solomon claimedto have been born in CT in about 1766 (see 1850 Federal Censushousehold of Lucius Wyman, and elsewhere). The only male Wyman ofsuitable breeding age who lived in CT at any time during the years1766 to 1790, (based on the1790 Census, the Barbour Collection andother extensive searches, and excluding Ebenezer Wyman who married in1771 and was only 18 in 1766, and excluding John Wyman from Charlton,MA whose wife had twin boys in Sept. 1765 and another in Oct. 1767 andshe died in Charlton in 1788 ) was Solomon Wyman (b. 1734) of Woburn,MA and Wrentham, MA. Solomon (b. 1734) probably didn't move toHartford, CT until after his wife died in Wrentham, MA in 1770. Thiswould mean that Dr. Solomon (b. 1766) probably moved to CT from MAwhile very young (probably under 5 years old), and likely would nothave been aware that he had ever lived in MA. Solomon (b. 1734)appears in the 1790 Federal Census for Hartford, CT. He was verylikely living in CT in 1777 when his son, Stephen, enlisted in theRevolutionary War effort, as a CT resident. Solomon (b, 1734) namedhis first son after his brother, Stephen. His next child (excludingone born outside the family) was a girl named after his wife, Jerusha.It would be appropriate to name his next son after himself. This iswhat appears to have happened in 1766. It is a reasonable conclusionwith no known competing hypotheses. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At the time of his marriage to Clarissa Ashley, he was living inPoultney, Rutland, VT See: americanancestors.org ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At the time of his marriage to Keziah Hawes, he was living in Milton,Chittenden, VT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dr. Solomon Wyman came from VT [to Franklin Co., NY] in 1803.

Justice of Constable, Franklin Co., NYin 1809. He was the first physician in Constable, Franklin Co., NY ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He is listed in the 1800 Federal Census for Milton, Chittenden, VT as: 01010+10100. Thus, he was not born after 1766. His wife, Clarissa was under 26.They had a son 10-15 and a daughter under 10. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He is listed in the 1820 Federal Census for Constable, Franklin, NYas: 200201+00101. This indicates that Keziah, his second wife was over 45 years old(born berore 1775). Lois (Barnum) Cady had given birth to the twoboys who were born between 1810 and 1820. They were Lucius and Ashley.The girl is age 16 to 25 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He is listed in the 1830 Federal Census for Constable, Franklin, NYas: 00110001000000010001. Lucius and Solomon J. were still living at home. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He is listed in the 1840 Federal Census for Constable, Franklin, NYas: 0000100001000000000001 He is 70-79 and Lois is 60-69.
