Lyman and Naaman were the sons of Ira and Lydia (Hayes) Cone. Lyman was born 18 Apr 1799 in Otsego County, New York. He married Mary Santley 12 Mar 1820. Lyman died 30 Mar 1888 in Laurens, Otsego County, N. Y. aged 87 years. In "Some Account of the Cone Family in America, William W. Cone describes him as;
"An honest, conscientious and deeply religious man, and a member of the
Society of Friends. In political matters he voted with the Whigs, and with the
Republican after the Republican party was formed. His house was a station
on the "Underground Railway" and he assisted many slaves to escape."

Naaman was born 11 Sep 1804 and married Joanna Warner, the daughter of Thomas and Rhoda (Hopkins) Warner 17 Nov 1825. Naaman, after a long career in education, moved on to Hornellsville in Steuben County. He was Poormaster at Hornellsville at the time of his death 29 Oct 1855. I do not know why he moved to Hornellsville.
One of the genealogical coincidences is that Naaman Cone's grandson, Frederick Naaman Cone (son of William Warner Cone), married Helen Brown Newton (daughter of Mary Elizabeth Clarke, daughter of Lydia Hornell, daughter of George Hornell, Jr., son of George Hornell)the second great granddaughter of George Hornell the man for whom Hornellsville was named.
