Lemuel Hyman (d. c1800) was a resident of Bertie County. In 1777 he took two oaths, the first an oath of secrecy and the second to promise to resist the state military draft, and became a member of the Gourd Patch Conspiracy. When the plot was discovered, Hyman volunteered to make a deposition about what he knew of the plot. In 1778 he signed an oath swearing his allegiance to the State of North Carolina and promised to report any treasonous conspiracies that might threaten North Carolina's independence.
