Notes

Lieutenant John Wyman and Sarah Nutt

John Wyman was at Woburn, Mass., as early as 1640, according to a book from Yarmouth County Museum about the history of the Trask and Wyman families. He was baptized Feb. 3, 1621 or 1622 in Westmill, Hertfordshire, England.

John traveled from England to Massachusettes with his brother, Francis Wyman. They had an older brother, Thomas, who stayed in England and inherited the family farm there.

John is the ancestor of Ruth Anne Wyman, wife of Nathan Churchill. Ruth Anne was the grandmother of Wilfred L. Churchill.

John was the son of Francis Wyman and Elizabeth Richardson Wyman, of West Mill, Hertfordshire, England. The church John’s father attended in England had the following information:

1. Francis Wyman was married on May 2, 1617 to Elizabeth Richardson.
2. Thomas Wyman was baptized April 5, 1618
3. Francis Wyman was baptized February 26, 1619 [the same Francis who later went to Woburn, Mass.]
4. John Wyman was baptized February 3, 1621 [the same John who later went to Woburn, Mass.]
5. Richard Wyman was married March 14, 1623
6. William Wyman was baptized August 31, 1628.

In 1658, the father back in England wrote out a Will giving small amounts of land to his sons John and Francis if they wished to return to England to claim it.

Elizabeth Wyman, the wife of Francis, was buried May 20, 1630, apparently before her two sons left England for the colony in America.

Lieut. John Wyman, of Woburn, Massachusetts, was married on November 5, 1644 to Sarah Ruth Nutt. Sarah was born sometime before Sept. 19, 1624 in Barking, Suffolk, England. She was the daughter of Myles Nutt and Sarah Bronson.

John and his brother Francis both worked as tanners in Woburn, Mass. John took part in "the great Narragansett fight of December 19, 1675," where he was wounded. John’s son, John "Jr." also took part in that fight, and was killed.

John and his brother Francis were among the largest landholders in Woburn, Massachusetts. A genealogy book about the history of the Wyman and Trask families indicates that John and Francis Wyman "were with one exception the largest landholders in Woburn."

John and his brother Francis were among the largest landholders in Woburn, Massachusetts. A genealogy book about the history of the Wyman and Trask families indicates that John and Francis Wyman "were with one exception the largest landholders in Woburn." Unfortunately John’s probate records are missing from the file at the court house.[4]
