The following biographical sketch was responsible for the research on this whole family.
"Biographical Review of Clinton and Essex Counties, N.Y." At Ticonderoga Historical Society Library, Ticonderoga, N.Y.

"Major Lyman Ormsby, a native of Essex Co., N.Y. was b. May 21, 1821 at Gough Ore Bed in the Town of Moriah. His paternal grandfather, Joseph Ormsby, settled early. He was a native of Mass. whence he migrated to Moriah. He opened a big ore mine called the Gough Mine. He served in the Revolutionary War. The children of Joseph Ormsby were; James, William, Susan, Relief, Horace.

Note: the author is confused here in the Josephs. William (above) was the father of Major Lyman. He was a lumberman at Moriah until 1837. He traveled through Michigan and other states, finally to Kansas where he died. He married Sarah Burlingame of Port Henry. They had 11 children the Major being the 9th child.

At an early age, Lyman, engaged in lumbering for the Berry Mills. Later, he was connected with the State Militias and was appointed Commander of the Schroon Company. Now (1896) he is retired and living at the home of a daughter, Mrs. James H. Bond of Port Henry, aged 74 years."

Probate of the will is in Book K at the County Court House at Elizabethtown, N.Y. (No one seems to know why the wills and probates are partly kept at Ticonderoga, and partly at Elizabethtown)
