| Thief, born in Goffstown, New Hampshire, USA. He stole almost from infancy, but he was first brought to justice about the age of 20. He was later convicted of larceny in Maine (then part of Massachusetts) but pardoned (1818) in order to shift the cost of maintaining him and his wife and six children. He served three years in New Hampshire for stealing cloth, and then returned to Goffstown. He publicized his career in The Life and Adventures of Seth Wyman... (1843). |
