Dear Sir:
I wish some information about a John Wymann or Wiman. I wish to know who his parents were and also the names of other members of his family.
During the Revolution he was a member of the Massachusetts Continental Army. He was on the pension list of 1820 and later. His residence was given as Sandgate, Vermont. He must have been born around 1759 in Massachusetts. The early immigrants settled in Wolburn, later living in Lunenburg, Lancaster and perhaps other surrounding towns.
I wish to become a D.A.R. member and would appreciate any information you can give me.
Sincerely yours, Edith Wymann

Hon? Sir
Manchester July 19. 1823 —
At the request of John Wyman I state that in comparing his declaration with the copy of the mortgage, it is discovered that the person who drafted his declaration for him mistook & wrote thus. "which was the sum I owed him for 350 acres of land which was mortgaged to the said Levi Wiman" when it ought to have been "which sum I owed said Levi for paying on note described in said mortgage & other debts for me" the poverty of the man has led me to make enquiry & am fully convinced he honestly owed Levi Wiman the sum of 103 dollars at that time John Wyman would have lost the land for the 60 dollar note & interest if he had not got him to pay the same at his desire. I enclose 2 affidavits together with the copy of the mortgage which it is thought will shew the transaction as it was. I should think if poverty is a rule to obtain a pension John Wyman has enough of it for two —

Sir;
Herewith are enclose the Vouchers of John Wyman, supposed to be a pensioner under the act of March 18. 1818. as represented. The notice from your office of Oct. 30. 1837 is doubtless in reference to the same individual, but the name is of differently written, being, as in the copy of the certificate herewith forwarded, — I have deemed it of importance to enquire whether payment shall be made to the person signing John Wyman instead of Wiman
