     This marriage is not in the Lyman Genealogy. A story of General Phinehas Lyman and his family, including his sons Phinehas and Thaddeus, is reported by Alcorn. They were among a party of Connecticut men who left home on 10 Jan. 1773 to explore new territory along the Mississippi. A favorable report came back in August of that year and started a rush of settlers from Connecticut, Massachusett and elsewhere. This Lyman family headed back to Mississippi in December, 1773. Before long Phinehas Sr. and Jr. were buried on their land in Mississippi and Thaddeus returned for his mothers and sisters. After being harassed as Tories, the mother and sisters also died in Mississippi. Thaddeus Lyman, now a widower, returned to Suffield and repurchased the house his father had sold in 1773. He married (2) Apphia Olds of Suffield and they had two children. Thaddeus died in debtors prison in New York in 1812. Thaddeus, 3rd son of Phinehas Esquire died in New York City, 1812, age 66 years.
^. Apphia Olds Lyman, wife of Thaddeus, died Sept. 1824, age 66.
     "Thaddeus Lyman, b. March 16, 1746, went to Mississippi, and m., but whom or when or with what issue, if any, no one of his descendants now knows. On the death of his first wife, he returned to Suffield, where he m. about 1784 Apphia Olds, b. May 21, 1760 (dau. of Dr. Josiah Olds of Suffield and Tryphena Kent). Here he remained some 8 years after his marriage, engaged in trade (1784-92). He then suddenly deserted his family, going to parts unknown, and leaving them without any visible means of support. These her brother Joseph Olds, Esq., living in the same place, and a man of wealth, generously supplied to the full. Twice, between 1792 and 1810 or 11, he appeared in Suffield again — the last time staying some three weeks with his family, — saying, meanwhile that he came to get " the papers " (or the deeds to the original Lyman estate in Natchez and its vicinity), which his wife kept locked up in her trunk. These she refused to give up to him, and, in her absence one day from home, he forced the trunk that contained them, and carrying them off said to his daughter Mrs. Graham : " Now I have got all that I want, I bid you good bye for the last time. You will see me no more ! " The long and deeply abused wife learned, on her return to her house, of this last act of ruthlessness towards her by her faithless husband, and wept and moaned inconsolably for many days, until she too lost her reason, and became a raving maniac. She was a lady of strong personal attractions and of tender, expressive eyes, and was herself gentle and loving. " Hundreds of times," says Mrs. James B. Rose of Suffield, her granddaughter, " have I been awaked at the dead hour of night by her screams of madness, Thaddeus ! Thaddeus ! " He d. at New York, Sept., 1812. He sent for his daughter Mrs. Graham, in his last sickness, to come and see him and delivered up to her the title-deeds to the Lyman Grant at Natchez, which he had so unfeelingly curried off, but a short time previously. That grant, made by the British Government to Genl. Lyman for his distinguished services, covered a tract of twenty thousand acres. The family-claim to this property, of such immense value now, slept in utter neglect in their hands. The account given of its final disposition is this, that Hon. Gideon Granger of New York proposed to prosecute their claims to it, on condition of receiving for his services and expenditures one-half of the net results obtained, to which they agreed ; and that, on a second visit to them at Suffield, he persuaded them to transfer their entire right and title to it to him, for the petty sum of one thousand dollars. Two gentlemen afterwards came to them, on a similar errand, from the region of Natchez itself, and, on finding that the purchase was beyond their reach, told them frankly, that the property was, in their view, then worth two millions of dollars.
"Mrs. Apphia Lyman d. Sept., 1824, aet. 64. This unfortunate couple, so wretchedly divided in life, have long slept quietly side by side in the same graveyard. He, who wandered cruelly while living from his dearest friends on earth, was glad to be brought back among them when dead."⁵
