Henry Wyman of Madison, Maine

My 6th Great-Grandparents, Henry Wyman and Sarah H Tuttle. They are buried in Jewett Cemetery, Madison, Maine. "A revolutionary Soldier", he served from Jan 1781 to Nov 1783 in the 3rd Massachusetts Regiment, under Col John Greaton (and later Col Mellen and Col Michael Jackson). At the time of his discharge, Henry was encamped at West Point, New York. His service records show his name on the rolls of a couple of companies, under Capt Crocker and Capt John Hobby. In the "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors" book, he is likely the Henry Wyman listed on a Worcester County account, dated 9/3/1781 by the selectman of Petersham, for the payment of bounties and mileage for men enlisted to serve the Continental Army for 3 years.

In 1818, Henry applied for a pension. He was living at that time in Madison, Maine, a farmer.
