Lyman family edit

There is some information about Simeon Lyman that should be moved in to this article but it probably needs good citations and this quotation is unclear. Maybe track down a source for this that is confirmable? Like how do we access the Town of Johnson public record, or what does that mean? I'll see if I can find the book soemwhere.

“Simeon Lyman seems to have started the woolen factory industry, aside from the wool-carding, as we find from the Land Records that in 1816 Joseph Waterman deeded to Simeon Lyman a “ ‘Privilege of Water at the lower falls on the North Branch of the River Lamoille to be taken from the mill-dam or saw-mill flume sufficient to carry a Fulling mill, napping and shearing machine, and machinery for cutting Durwood, together with the buildings now erected for fulling and cloth-dressing.” History of Johnson, VT 1784-1904 Oread Literary Club Johnson, VT Published 1907 BURLINGTON FREE PRESS PRINTING CO. In 1829, Simeon Lyman deeded and sold the property to Andrew Dow & Harry Gloyd. - Town of Johnson Public Record.
