Dean Wyman is already a pensioner - he must return his pension certificate to the War Dept. before he can be placed on the roll under the act of 18 March 1815

I Dean Wyman, aged fifty three years, a citizen of the United States, born in Winchendon, Massachusetts, but now resident in Fairfield in the District of Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in February or March 1779 80 I enlisted as a private soldier, in the service of the U. States, in the war of the revolution, upon the continental establishment, for the period of during the war, in the company commanded by Capt Brown, and regiment commanded by Col. Timothy Bigelow, of the fifteenth regiment Massachusetts line . I served in this regiment until February 23 d . 1780 when I was taken prisoner by the enemy, near White Plains, while on guard. I was kept in close prison by the enemy in the city of New York, eleven months until exchanged. After I was exchanged, on the first of January 1781, I immediately joined the regiment commanded by Col. Rufus Putnam, of the fifth regiment, Massachusetts line, at West Point. Soon afterwards, I was detached into a corps of light infantry commanded by Col. Scamuel and marched to Virginia, under the commander in chief, and was there, at the siege of Yorktown, at the capture of Cornwallis. After which, I returned to West Point, and rejoined the fifth Massachusetts regiment, commanded by Col. Rufus Putnam. In this regiment, I continued to serve until June 1783, when, at New Windsor huts, near West Point, I took my final and honorable Discharge from the army, having served therein from the first more than four years. My discharge, I cannot now find. I am indigent, and in need of the bounty of the government. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any, by reason of my revolutionary services aforesaid. I request to be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine. Dean Wyman

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Dean Wyman and of a John Wyman whose name is on the 1840 list of pensioners.
The John Wyman whose name is on the 1840 list of pensioners, was there recorded as of Somerset County, Maine, and then aged sixty-four years. He would have been born in 1776, therefore, could not have served in the Revolutionary War. The War of 1812 records have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon service in that war of a John Wyman. He was possibly a State pensioner and not a United States pensioner. The record of Deen Wyman is given below as found in pension claim, S.35156, based upon his military service.
Deen or Dean Wyman was born in Winchendon, Massachusetts, date not stated, and no reference is made to his parents.
He enlisted, place not stated, in February or March 1779, served as a private in Captain Brown's Company, Colonel Timothy Bigelow's Fifteenth Massachusetts Regiment; on February 23, 1780 while on guard near White Plains he was taken prisoner, kept in prison in New York City until the first of January, 1781  when he was exchanged. and He immediately joined Colonel Rufus Putnam's Fifth Massachusetts Regiment; soon afterwards was detached and served under Colonel Scammel at the siege of Yorktown and at the capture of Cornwallis, and then returned and joined Colonel Rufus Putnam's Fifth Massachusetts Regiment and was discharged in June 1783.
He also rendered service in the War of 1812. The date and place of enlistment and length of service are not shown. He served as a private in Captain Chadwick's

He was allowed pension, on account of his services in the Revolutionary War, on his application executed April 6, 1818 at which time he was aged fifty-three years and a resident of Fairfield, Somerset County, Maine. He signed Deen Wyman.

I would be very much obliged if you will send me the pension records of Dean Wyman and John Wyman. Both of these are included in Flagg's Maine Revolutionary Pensioners. Dean Wyman as in the 1835 list and John Wyman as in the 1840 list.
It is possible that John Wyman was not a Revolutionary pensioner, but it is quite certain that Dean Wyman was.
As I am asking for this information for purposes of a historical sketch, I would be much obliged if you would include any names of wife or children, or of indorsers, or of towns of residence, as well as Revolutionary service.
I would be very much obliged for this information.
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:
Wishing to learn something about an ancestor of mine I went to the State House in Boston to make inquiry and was directed to write to you for information.
My great grandfather was Dean Wyman , who came to Watertown, Mass. from Berkshire, England,

where he was born. After he was married he lived at Augusta, Maine. I have been told that he was in the army till the close of the war of the Revolution. He may have enlisted at the beginning but I never heard of that. The last part of his life was spent with his son, Samuel Wymen, at New Sharon, Me. He drew his pension at Augusta, Me. I think he was only a

private, but would like to know all about him while in the army. I may join the D.A.R. and want this for a voucher.
