A Brief Biography by Bill Poole
Nathaniel Wyman was a member of Captain John Parker’s Lexington Militia Company and was killed in the afternoon on April 19, 1775 when the men of Lexington ambushed the Regulars returning from Concord at the site now popularly known as Parker’s Revenge. There is some controversy concerning Nathaniel — did he belong to the Lexington Company, was he even from Lexington, where was he killed and what was his ancestry and parentage? Was he from Billerica as some sources claimed?
