THE  LYON  MEMORIAL 

Publisher's  Note 


Three  years  ago  the  first  prospectus  appeared  of  a  "Lyon  Memorial." 
The  object  sought  by  its  editors  was  a  modest  one.  They  proposed  only 
to  place  on  record  the  available  historical  data  relating  to  the  several 
Lyon  families  that  settled  in  New  England  in  the  early  colonial 
days.  It  was  expected  that  the  material  thus  "readily  accessible" 
would  fill  a  volume  of  about  500  pages.  It  was  soon  found,  however, 
that  a  single  volume  would  not  contain  the  records  already  in  hand. 
The  complete  Memorial  fills  three  such  volumes.  One,  relating  to 
the  Massachusetts  families,  has  already  been  given  to  the  public. 
This  includes  the  descendants  of  William  Lyon  of  Roxbury,  about 
3,000  names,  Peter  Lyon  of  Dorchester,  about  400  names  and  George 
Lyon  of  Dorchester,  135  names. 

The  present  volume  deals  with  three  closely  related  families, 
whose  progenitors,  Thomas,  Henry  and  Richard,  appeared  almost 
simultaneously  in  Fairfield  County,  Connecticut.  The  editor  of  this 
volume  accepts  as  historical  facts  certain  family  traditions  for  which 
documentary  evidence  has  not  yet  been  found.  For  this  she  assumes 
individual  responsibility.  "Whether  or  not  these  three  brothers  came 
to  America  directly  from  Scotland,  is  not  "a  vital  question.  There 
can  be  no  doubt  that  they,  as  well  as  the  Lyons  who  settled  in 
Massachusetts  had  a  common  ancestry  with  the  Scotch  noble  Lyon 
family — now  Bowes-Lyon.  The  volume  will  perhaps  prove  the  most 
interesting  reading  of  the  series,  and  is  of  especial  importance  in 
that  it  deals  in  a  thorough  and  painstaking  way  with  an  historical 
subject  presenting  unusual  difficulties,  owing  to  the  destruction  during 
the  Revolutionary  War  of  many  important  records.  It  comprises  the 
full  family  histories  only  of  Henry  Lyon  of  Milford,  Fairfield  and 
Newark,  and  Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield. 


6  LYON    MEMORIAL 

The  third  volume  of  the  series  is  devoted  wholly  to  the  family 
history  of  Thomas  Lyon  of  Stamford,  Fairfield  and  Rye.  This  history 
is  unusually  full,  and  is  largely  the  work  of  Robert  B.  Miller,  a 
descendant  of  Thomas  Lyon,  and  an  accomplished  and  accurate 
genealogist. 

The  writer  of  this  note,  who,  in  the  midst  of  a  life  of  strenuous 
and  multifarious  activities,  has  brought  to  a  conclusion  his  self 
imposed  task  commends  the  completed  Memorial  to  his  numerous 
American  kinsfolk  in  the  trust  that  his  gratuitous  labor  may  find  its 
adequate  reward  in  the  kindly  welcome  it  shall  receive.

PREFACE 


To  the  descendants  of  Henry,  Thomas  and  Richard  Lyon,  notwith- 
standing its  imperfections,  the  second  volume  of  the  Lyon  Memorial  will 
be  "a  good  book  which  is  opened  with  expectation  and  closed  with 
profit."  Nevertheless  they  should  determine  among  themselves  to 
gather  materials  for  a  more  satisfactory  history  of  the  Scotch  branch 
of  the  Lyon  family  of  America.  In  the  States  that  were  the  old 
Colonies,  in  Scotland  and  in  England,  there  are  public  records  and 
private  papers  awaiting  whoever  will  interest  himself  or  herself  so 
far  as  to  seek  these  data  in  person  or  employ  experienced  genealogists 
to  do  the  necessary  work  for  them. 

Another  thing.  Doubt  should  not  reject  in  toto  the  vague  stories 
of  forefather  lore.  Life  was  more  serious  than  death  to  our 
Covenanter  and  Puritan  sires.  They  were  not  given  to  vain-glorious 
statements.  Whatsoever  is  attributed  to  one  of  them  is  worthy  of 
investigation.  Oraf  cestimony,  after  two  centuries  of  reminiscential 
mention,  has  lost  accuracy.  Still  there  is  a  likelihood  of  discovering 
documental  foundations  for  many  of  these  handed-down  recollections. 
Errors  may  have  been  grafted  on  the  vine  of  any  tradition,  but  it 
sprang  from  the  root  of  truth.  What  Moses  related  to  Joshua,  what 
Joshua  transmitted  through  the  Elders  and  the  Prophets  is  Holy  writ. 

"Some  Old  World  Lyons"  and  "Some  New  World  Lyons"  give  the 
history  of  the  Lyon  family  as  far  as  it  could  be  gathered  from  acces- 
sible records  and  as  far  as  it  has  been  narrated  incidentally  by  the 
historians.  An  amplification  of  a  series  of  events  is  history  as  it  is 
written  and  understood.  Bare  facts  with  appurtenant  dates  do  not 
appeal  to  the  human  mind.  Out  of  countless  fragments  the  imagina- 
tion must  reconstruct  and  visualize  the  past.  This  has  been  attempted 
by  the  author  of  the  two  sketches  herein  referred  to.  The  "Lyons 
Farms"  sketch  and  map,   contributed  by  Professor   S.   R.   Winans   of

Princeton,  N.  J.,  will  add  greatly  to  the  historical  value  of  the  present 
volume  of  the  Lyon  Memorial. 

An  especial  acknowledgement  is  due  Mr.  C.  C.  Gardner,  genealogist, 
of  Newark,  N.  J.,  and  to  Mrs.  Mary  Lyon  Hoe  and  Miss  Amelia  Lyon 
Hoe  of  New  York  City,  for  procuring  copies  of  many  of  the  colonial 
records  in  the  archives  at  Trenton.  Mr.  Gardner,  too,  loaned  private 
papers,  and  his  acute  judgment  settled  several  points  that  were  in 
dispute.  Mr.  W.  E.  Harrison  of  Fort  Madison,  Iowa,  generously  con- 
tributed all  the  Lyon  data  that  he  obtained  at  home  and  abroad,  while 
collecting  official  records  for  a  Harrison  Family  History.  Mr.  John 
Charles  Lyon  of  East  Orange,  N.  J.,  and  Mrs.  Nora  Harris  Badgley  of 
New  York  City  were  indispensible  co-workers,  who  made  extracts  from 
the  Colonial  history  "authorities"  in  the  Newark  Library  and  in  the 
Lenox  Library  and  the  Astor  Library  of  New  York  City.  And  thanks 
are  due  to  Mr.  M.  M.  Crane  of  Elizabeth,  N.  J.,  for  early  Elizabeth- 
town  records,  to  Mr.  C.  S.  Taylor  of  Cincinnati  for  pioneer  records; 
to  Miss  Anna  J.  Cleveland  of  Minneapolis  for  foreign  research  and 
early  Elizabethtown  records;  to  Mr.  J.  P.  Crayon,  genealogist,  of 
Rockaway,  N.  J.,  for  early  Morristown  records;  to  Miss  Hannah  Lyon 
Wilbur  of  Newport,  who  placed  the  Rhode  Island  Lyon  families  among 
the  descendants  of  Henry  Lyon,  the  emigrant  of  Fairfield  and  Newark, 
and  to  Mrs.  Laura  Butler  Taylor  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  for  her  intelligent 
and  faithful  services.

SOME  OLD  WORLD  LYONS 


If  faith  is  the  evidence  of  things  not  seen,  history  is  the  evidence 
of  things  half  linown.  The  contemporary  chronicler  depended  on 
hearsay  particulars  and  individual  impressions  for  the  consecutive 
incidents  in  the  romance  of  quaint  narration.  He  recounted  the  pomp 
and  triumph  of  his  liege  as  a  bard  sang  of  the  prowess  of  his  own 
Lord,  as  a  Provincal  poet  sang  of  the  beauty  of  his  own  lady.  But 
he  was  on  his  own  ground  and  familiar  with  current  matters.  The 
historian  takes  the  say-so  of  his  predecessors  in  compiling  remote 
events,  gleaning  from  every  accessible  source,  however,  making 
deductions  here  and  trusting  to  psychological  instinct  there,  seeking 
for  the  spirit  as  well  as  the  letter  of  the  times.  The  public  records, 
with  their  contradictory  dates  can  be  partially  trusted,  though  one 
remembers  how  Dugdale  of  the  Baronage  declared  in  1675,  referring 
to  the  Roll  of  Battle  Abbey — "There  are  great  errors  or  rather  falsities 
in  most  of  these  copies — such  hath  been  the  subtile  of  some  monks 
of  old." 

The  history  of  a  family,  especially  of  the  Lyon  family,  as  it  goea 
from  the  chapter  of  one  century  to  the  chapter  of  the  next,  in  its 
mysterious  reality,  has  the  fascination  of  fiction.  Heredity  gives  every 
human  a  certain  sense  of  remoteness,  which  is  soul  retrospection.  We, 
ourselves,  have  been  a  part  of  all  this  tragedy  and  death. 

Godfrey  Louvein  or  Lowen,  Duke  of  Brabant,  was  doubtless  the 
head  of  the  Leonne  family  of  Leon,  or  Lyons  in  Normandy.  His 
daughter,  Adelecia,  the  Fair  Maid  of  Brabant,  after  the  young  Prince 
William  was  lost  in  the  wreck  of  the  "Blanche  Nef"  1120,  was  married 
to  the  widowed  Henry  I.  in  the  hope  of  another  direct  heir  to  the 
English  Crown.  This  alliance  gave  rise  to  the  use  of  the  lion  in  the 
royal  arms.  The  Castle  of  Lyons  near  Rouen  was  a  residence  which 
the  Anglo-Norman  monarch  took  much  delight  in.  It  was  his  death- 
place,  too.  After  a  hard  day's  hunting  in  the  Forest  of  Lyons,  the  King 
ate  heartily  of  his  favorite  dish,  stewed  lampreys,  and  died  of  "surfeit" 
seven  days  later.  At  the  time  of  the  expedition  against  Harold,  the 
Saxon  King  of  England,  1066,  one  of  the  Leonne,  an  adventurous 
personage,  with  his  followers,  joined  the  banners  of  Duke  William  of 
Normandy.  This  de  Leonne,  the  progenitor  of  the  Lyon  family  of 
England  and  Scotland,  held  a  considerable  command  in  the  invading 


10  LYON    MEMORIAL 

army.  Perhaps  he  espoused  the  cause  through  Galtic  sentiment,  or 
through  Fitz  Osborn's  coercive  example  or  through  a  liking  for 
fighting  as  a  diurnal  occupation,  or  for  what  he  expected  to  get  out 
of  it.  An  eye  to  the  main  chance  through  an  aboriginal  understanding 
of  meum  et  tuum,  was  eleventh  century  common  sense,  and  to  take 
your  chances  was  eleventh  century  philosphy. 

The  foreign  project  was  not  a  popular  measure  with  Duke 
William's  people,  as  it  would  cost  blood  and  money.  But  the  chivalry 
of  France,  picturesque  gentlemen,  armed  cap-a-pie  in  close-fitting  ring 
armor  and  nasal  conical  helmets,  with  a  gonfalon  streaming  from  their 
lances,  who  made  war  a  diversion,  accommodatingly  accepted  the  story 
that  Harold  had  been  sent  by  Edward  the  Confessor  to  give  the 
Crown  to  his  verbally  appointed  heir.  By  the  same  right  that  Robert 
le  Diahle's  son  was  heir  to  the  throne  of  the  Saxon  Usurper,  they,  his 
knights,  were  heirs  to  splendid  preferment  and  splendid  spoils,  if  they 
risked  their  lives  to  get  them.  Morally  justified,  they  were  going 
to  their  rightful  heritage,  these  mail-clad  warriors  of  William,  sur- 
named  the  Bastordes,  the  best  soldier  and  the  best  politician  of  the 
Middle  Ages.  Edward,  the  Saint,  had  loved  the  home  of  his  childhood, 
the  learned  and  pious  prelates  and  monks  of  its  churches  and  monas- 
teries, and  its  shrewd  and  daring  Knighthood.  It  was  theirs  by  royal 
gift.  All  the  crown  lands,  the  vast  estates  of  Harold  and  his  brothers, 
the  folkland,  every  rod  of  England,  except  the  sacred  property  of  the 
Ecclesiastical  corporations,  would  pass  to  the  new  king,  to  be  granted 
away  to  those  who  served  him  best. 

The  Leonne  of  the  armament,  who  followed  the  blood-red  flag 
of  the  Mora  from  St.  Valleri  to  Pevensly;  who  sang  the  war  song  of 
Rollo  at  Hastings  and  did  much  battle,  realized  his  opulent  anticipa- 
tions, for  he  remained  in  England,  and  brought  over  to  patrimonial 
expectation  his  son,  Sir  Roger  de  Leonne,  born  in  France  1040, 

Sir  Roger  de  Leonne  furthered  the  fortunes  of  the  family  in  an 
adopted  country.  War  was  a  profitable  pastime,  and  to  go  to  the 
rescue  of  King  Edgar,  the  son  of  Malcolm  Canmore,  a  righteous  piece 
of  errantry.  So  he  donned  his  harness  and  rode  with  Atheling  into 
Scotland  to  depose  Donald  Bain.  For  this  good  and  faithful  service, 
in  1091  he  obtained  from  King  Edgar  certain  lands  in  Perthshire,  to 
which  he  gave  the  name  of  Glen  Lyon — the  Glen  Lyon  of  today,  extend- 
ing from  Fortingal  about  twenty-four  miles,  a  vast  cul-de-sac,  flanked 
by  steep  lofty  mountains  traversed  from  end  to  end  by  the  river  Lyon, 


SOME   OLD  WORLD  LYONS

rushing   down   in   torrents   and   cataracts   from   Loch   Lyon.     It   is   a 
strong  defensible  pass  like  Killikrankie,  Glenlochy  and  Glenogle. 

The  Romans  built  a  camp  at  its  entrance,  such  a  station  as  com- 
manded the  passes  of  the  Grampians  throughout  Perthshire.  It  was 
a  stronghold  of  the  aboriginal  tribe  of  Venricones,  who  possessed 
territory  between  the  Tay  on  the  South  and  the  Carron  on  the  North, 
comprising  Gowrie,  Strathmore,  Stromont  and  Strathardle  in  Perth- 
shire, the  whole  of  Angus  and  the  larger  part  of  Kincardineshire,  with 
their  chief  town  at  Orrea  on  the  Tay. 

Sir  Roger  de  Leonne  stood  by  his  Scottish  possessions,  and  retained 
the  friendship  of  the  Scottish  Monarch,  for  he  was  witness  in  a 
charter  of  King  Edgar  to  the  monastery  of  Dumfermline,  dated  1105. 
His  son,  Sir  Paganus  de  Leonne  or  Leonibus,  was  born  in  England 
about  1080.  For  his  soul's  health,  and  the  highest  christian  duty,  this 
Norman  Englishman  accompanied  Geoffrey  Plantagenet,  Duke  of 
Anjou  to  the  Holy  Land.  On  his  return  from  the  Crusade,  he  settled  in 
England,  where  he  did  some  fighting  for  Henry  I.  in  the  family  difficulty 
with  Duke  Robert  of  Normandy,  and  in  the  campaign  against  the 
Welsh.  He  claimed  lineage  from  the  ancient  Kings  of  Leone  as  23rd 
in  descent  from  King  Ataulphus,  the  Visgoth,  successor  of  Alaric,  who 
took  and  sacked  Rome  in  409 — Ataulphus,  who  married  Placida,  sister 
of  Honorius,  Emperor  of  the  East,  the  son  of  the  great  Theodorius. 

His  son,  Hugo  de  Leonibus,  born  about  1120,  was  seized  of  lands 
In  the  county  of  Norfolk,  England,  in  the  time  of  Henry  II.,  and  he 
was  defendant  m  a  plea  of  lands  in  the  time  of  Richard  Coeur  de 
Lion,  1149. 

Ernald  de  Leonibus,  born  in  Norfolk,  about  1150,  son  of  Hugo 
de  Leonibus,  claimed  against  Robert  Briston,  William  de  Grancut  and 
Walter  de  Grancut,  one  third  part  in  certain  lands  in  Kettleston  in  the 
county  of  Norfolk  in  the  time  of  King  John  I.  1199.  When  the  con- 
queror stumbled  headlong  upon  Sussex  soil,  grasping  the  sand  he 
gathered  as  he  fell,  he  exclaimed,  with  prophetic  joy,  "See  Seigneurs! 
by  the  splendor  of  God  I  have  seized  England  in  my  two  hands."  The 
same  land  greed  was  a  passion  with  his  knights,  and  it  besets  their 
descendants  even  to  this  day. 

The  heir  of  Ernald  de  Leonibus,  was  John  de  Leonibus,  alias 
Lyon,  born  about  1175,  the  first  instance  of  our  name  being  ortho- 
graphically  simplified  as  it  has  come  down  to  us.  He  had  two  sons, 
Pagan  de  Leonibus,  alias  Leon,  born  in  Norfolk  about  1200,  and  Walter 
de  Leonibus,  born  about  1205.     Walter  de  Leonibus  had  two  sons, — 


12  LYON    MEMORIAL 

Sir  Henry  Lyon  and  William  de  Lyon;  both  died  without  issue.  Pagan 
de  Leonibus,  of  Norfolk,  England,  married  Ivette  de  Ferres,  daughter 
and  heiress  of  William  de  Ferres  of  Cambridge.  His  two  sons  were 
Sir  John  de  Lyouns,  Knight,  born  in  Norfolk  about  1225,  and  Thomas 
Lyouns,  who  was  of  Woodward  in  Essex  in  the  time  of  Edward  I. 

Sir  John  de  Lyouns,  first  son  of  Pagan  de  Leonibus,  was  sum- 
moned to  perform  military  service  against  the  Scots  1294,  when 
Edward  subdued  Scotland  and  imprisoned  King  John  Baliol.  He 
married  Marjory,  daughter  and  co-heir  of  Simon  de  Ackle  of  Ackle  in 
the  county  of  Northampton,  and  died  1316  in  the  reign  of  Edward  II. 
Some  of  his  descendants  received  the  estate  of  Simon  de  Ackle, 
for  in  1638  from  Northamptonshire  came  John  Lyne  and  Henry  Lyne, 
his  son,  to  America,  and  they  were  among  the  founders  of  New  Haven. 

The  sons  of  Sir  John  de  Lyouns  were  John  de  Lyon,  Feudal  Baron 
of  Forteviot,  born  in  Norfolk,  England  about  1250,  and  Sir  Adam  Lyon, 
Knight,  born  about  1255,  and  died  without  issue. 

Perthshire  was  included  in  the  kingdom  of  the  Southern  Picts. 
Their  capital  was  removed  to  Forteviot  from  Abernathy.  Later,  when 
Forteviot  was  burnt  by  the  Northmen,  the  chief  royal  residence  was 
at  Scone.  Perth  was  the  third  seat  of  Government,  but  was  abandoned 
in  the  reign  of  James  II.  in  favor  of  Edinburgh. 

John  de  Lyon,  Feudal  Baron  of  Forteviot,  first  son  of  Sir  John 
de  Lyons  of  Norfolk,  England,  had  three  sons*:  1.  Sir  Adam  Lyon, 
Knight,  born  in  Norfolk  about  1285,  who  had  two  sons,  Sir  John  Lyon, 
Knight,  born  about  1320,  and  Adam  de  Lyon,  born  about  1325.  2. 
Richard  Lyon,  born  in  Norfolk  about  1287,  who  had  three  daughters, 
co-heirs,  Isabella,  born  1336,  Cecilia  born  1338  and  Christina  born 
1345.  3.  Sir  John  de  Lyon,  Knight,  born  in  Norfolk,  England,  about 
1290,  who  had  a  son.  Sir  John  Lyon,  who  became  the  head  of  the  Lyon 
family  of   Scotland. 

The  district  of  Glen  Lyon  in  Perthshire  had  been  in  the  possession 
of  the  Lyon  family  since  1091. 

Malcolm  Canmore,  in  being  educated  at  the  Court  of  Edward,  the 
Confessor,  was  strongly  pro-Norman,  and  his  son  King  Edgar  I.  owed 
his  throne  to  such  valiant  men  as  Sir  Roger  de  Leonne.  In  the  days 
of  David  I.  other  Anglo-Normans  and  Flemings  settled  in  Scotland. 
David  had  been  trained  in  the  Court  of  his  brother-in-law,  Henry  I. 
"that  he  might  be  polished  from  the  rust  of  Scottish  barbarity."     He

married  Maude,  daughter  of  Walthe,  Earl  of  Northumberland,  by- 
Judith,  niece  of  William  the  Conqueror.  When  he  came  to  his  throne 
1124,  he  was  followed  by  a  thousand  Anglo-Normans  and  Flemings, 
upon  whom  he  bestowed  favors  and  lands,  and  most  of  the  illustrious 
families  of  Scotland  have  their  origin  from  the  French  Englishmen 
favorites  of  Edgar  I.  and  David  I.,  descendants  of  the  Norman  Knights 
who  came  to  England  at  the  time  of  the  Conquest.  The  life  appealed 
to  a  mediaeval  imagination,  where  every  district  was  an  independent 
state,  with  its  own  system  of  government,  a  sort  of  hereditary  dukedom, 
allowed  by  the  consent  of  each  community,  or  clan,  in  the  person  of 
their  chief.  It  was  a  stirring  dramatic  existence.  Year  in  and  year 
out  predatory  warfare  and  clan  warfare  were  matters  of  gain  and 
matters  of  strife.  The  strange  garb  of  the  Highland  people,  their 
weapons,  their  wild  music,  the  power  of  the  headship,  and  the  fealty 
of  the  clansmen  was  a  fascinating  ensemble.  Every  clan  had  its 
place  of  rendezvous,  and  every  clansman  answered  in  person  the 
summons  of  his  chief.  The  "tarie,"  the  fiery  cross,  two  pieces  of  wood, 
one  end  of  the  horizontal  burnt^  and  a  bit  of  white  cloth  stained  with 
blood,  tied  to  the  other,  was  given  to  two  runners  who  sped  in  opposite 
directions,  to  deliver  the  "tarie"  in  turn  to  fresh  runners.  In  1215 
the  bearers  of  the  fiery  cross  went  round  Loch  Tay,  a  distance  of 
thirty-five  miles,  and  that  same  evening,  five  hundred  men  assembled 
under  command  of  the  Laird  of  Glen  Lyon,  to  join  the  Earl  of  Mar. 

The  Lyons  of  Glen  Lyon  remained  in  high  favor  with  the  Scotch 
Court,  for  in  1372,  a  hundred  and  eighty  years  after  the  advent  of 
Sir  Roger  de  Leonne  in  Scotland,  one  of  his  descendants,  John  Lyon, 
a  grandson  of  John  de  Lyon,  Feudal  Baron  of  Forteviot,  was  son-in- 
law  and  Secretary  of  King  Robert  II,  the  first  Stewart,  and  the 
founder  of  that  dynasty.  "He  was  a  young  man  of  very  good  parts 
and  qualities,  a  very  graceful  and  comely  person,  and  a  great  favorite 
with  the  King."  Lyon  King-at-Arms,  who  was  a  conspicuous  figure 
at  the  coronation,  1371,  must  have  been  this  John  Lyon,  pattern  of 
superior  excellences.  When  this  dignity  was  constituted  is  lost  from 
Court  Annals.  That  the  heraldic  office  was  instituted  as  a  preferment 
for  a  favorite  courtier  is  more  probable  than  that  it  took  its  name  Lyon 
rex  armorum,  from  the  lion  on  the  royal  shield.  The  Princess  Jean, 
youngest  daughter  of  Robert  II.  fell  in  love  with  the  handsome,  suc- 
cessful John  Lyon,  and  in  1379,  he  received  her  hand  in  marriage. 

After  the  death  of  her  first  husband,  she  consoled  herself  with  a 
second  husband.  Sir  James  Sunderlands  of  Calder.    She  was  a  daughter 


14  LYON    MEMORIAL 

by  the  first  wife  of  Robert  High  Stewart  of  Scotland,  Elizabeth 
daughter  of  Sir  Adam  More  of  Powallen.  A  question  as  to  the  legiti- 
macy of  this  lady,  made  a  public  declaration  necessary  at  the  accession 
of  Robert  II.  and  the  crown  was  settled  on  John,  Earl  of  Garrick.  Two 
years  later  a  more  explicit  settlement  was  made  on  the  King's  sons 
by  Elizabeth  More, — John,  Earl  of  Garrick,  Robert,  Earl  of  Fife,  and 
Alexander,  Lord  Badenoch;  falling  them,  on  the  sons  of  the  second 
wife,  Euphemie  Ross, — David,  Earl  of  Strathearn,  and  Walter,  his 
brother. 

John  Lyon,  by  his  marriage  with  the  lady  Jean  Stewart,  was 
brought  into  the  reigning  family.  Wise  in  world-craft,  he  had  nicely 
dominated  the  King  whom  Froissart  represents  as  "not  valiant,  with 
red,  bleared  eyes,  who  would  rather  lie  still  than  ride,"  for  by  a 
charter  dated  March  13th,  1372,  he  received  the  lands  and  Thanedom 
of  Glamis,  a  charter  which  says:  "pro  laudabili  et  fideli  servitio  con- 
tinuis  laborius." 

The  title  of  Thane  of  Glamis  is  an  old  one.  Malcolm  II.  (1005- 
1034)  had  two  daughters.  One  of  them  married  Crymin,  Lord  of  the 
Isles  and  of  Western  Scotland,  and  was  the  mother  of  King  Duncan, 
the  successor  of  her  royal  father.  The  second  daughter  married  Sinel, 
Thane  of  Glamis,  and  was  the  mother  of  Macbeth,  also  the  mother-in- 
law  of  that  psychological  mystery.  Lady  Macbeth.  Glamis  Castle,  until 
it  passed  to  John  Lyon  (on  his  marriage  to  the  Princess  Jean)  had 
been  a  royal  residence  for  a  line  of  Kings  that  date  back  to  Kenneth  I. 
850,  A.  D. 

This  hoary  pile,  historically  famous,  stands  in  the  fertile  vale 
of  Strathmore,  in  Forfarshire,  not  far  from  Dundee,  with  the  Sedlaw 
Hills  to  the  South,  and  the  lofty  Grampians  to  the  North.  The  glamour 
of  feudal  times  is  all  round  about  it,  from  its  base  to  the  summit  of 
its  towers  that  rise  a  hundred  and  fifteen  feet  above  the  ground,  and 
the  great  dead  dwell  there  in  invisible  life  through  the  remembrance 
of  their  deeds.  It  is  claimed  that  the  huge  blocks  of  red  sandstone 
of  the  earliest  portion  of  the  structure  have  been  standing  since  1016, 
the  eleventh  year  of  the  reign  of  Malcolm  II.,  father-in-law  of  Sinel, 
Thane  of  Glamis.  Patrick  Lyon,  first  earl  of  Strathmore*  and  third  of 
Kinghorn,  made  extensive  restoration  and  improvement  about  1605. 

Sir  Walter  Scott  lamented  over  the  disappearance  of  the  walled 
eourt  yards,  and  the  moat,  the  defensive  boundaries  of  the  huge  old 


♦Glamis   Castle,   a   residence   of   the   present   Earl   of   Strathmore   and 
Kinghorn. 


SOME   OLD   WORLD  LYONS  15 

Tower  of  Glamis,  when  he  revisited  the  Castle  after  the  devastation 
of  a  ruthless,  capricious  architect.  Within  the  storied  walls  King 
Duncan  was  done  to  death  by  his  ambitious  cousin-german,  Macbeth. 
It  was  the  death-place  of  Malcolm  II.  from  the  wounds  treacherously 
given  by  Kenneth  V.  an  event  of  blood  made  authentic  by  the  early 
chroniclers.  The  Commonwealth  soldiers  prayed  long  prayers  and 
sang  loud  psalms  in  that  house  of  murder,  and  the  Pretender  pined 
and  plotted  there  for  a  brief  season. 

Gossip  has  spread  a  tale  of  a  mysterious  grisly  something,  a  secret 
not  a  substance,  that  is  master  of  the  Earl.  When  his  eldest  son 
becomes  of  age,  this  ghost  of  a  wrong  that  must  be  righted  is  disclosed 
to  still  another  Lyon,  and  the  thing  dogs  him  till  the  hour  of  his 
death,  making  him  of  the  past  and  guilty  of  a  crime  that  calls  for 
reparation.  This  gives  a  White-Lady-Banshee  sort  of  mystery  to  the 
awesome  old  castle. 

Besides  the  lands  and  Thanedom  of  Glamis,  the  King  bestowed 
upon  his  son-in-law,  John  Lyon,  the  Loch  of  Forfar,  and  the  land  of 
Kinghorn,  and  through  his  marriage  came  the  right  to  carry  the  double 
tressure  fleuried  and  counter-fleuried  in  the  bearing  of  the  family*.  He 
rose  to  be  High  Lord  Chamberlain  of  Scotland  and  Ambassador  to 
England.  This  increasing  power  excited  the  envy  of  Sir  James  Lind- 
Bay,  and  he  fell  in  a  duel  provoked  by  this  Judas  friend  at  the  Moor  of 
Balhall  in  1383.  He  and  his  royal  consort  were  interred  at  Scone,  the 
coronation  place  of  the  Kings  of  Scotland,  destroyed  during  the 
Reformation.  There  still  exists  an  indenture,  dated  1433,  between  his 
son,  John  Lyon,  Knight  of  Glamys,  and  the  Abbot  of  Scone,  confirming 
a  grant  of  forty  shillings  annually  made  by  his  late  father  for  masses 
for  the  repose  of  the  souls  of  Sir  John  Lyon  and  Lady  Jean,  his 
spouse. 

Sir  John  Lyon,  Knight  of  Glamys,  who  fifty  years  after  the  death 
of  his  father  still  continued  the  pious  custom  of  paying  for  masses 
for  the  souls  of  his  illustrious  parents,  married  the  Lady  Elizabeth 
Graham,  daughter  of  Patrick,  Earl  of  Strathern,  by  Euphemia,  Countess 
Palatine  of  Strathern,  a  granddaughter  of  Robert  II.  His  young  man- 
hood was  spent  in  tumultuous  times.  Disorders  were  rife  in  the 
Highlands,  and  the  feuds  of  the  clans  were  augmented  by  Alexander

Badenoch,  the  fourth  son  of  Robert  II.,  whom  his  indolent  father  had 
constituted  Lieutenant  Governor,  from  the  limits  of  Moray  to  Pentland 
Frith.  The  Wolf  of  Badenoch  was  the  uncle  of  Sir  John  Lyon,  Knight 
Lord  of  Glamys.  He  seized  the  lands  of  Alexander  Bard,  Bishop  of 
Moray,  and  was  excommunicated  for  this  outrage. 

In  a  frenzy  of  vengeance,  he  descended  from  the  heights  and  burnt 
Forres,  May,  1390,  with  the  church  and  the  Manse  of  the  Archdeacons, 
and  in  June  of  the  same  year  he  burnt  Elgin,  the  church  of  St.  Giles, 
the  hospital  of  Maison  Dieu,  the  Cathedral,  a  splendid  ecclesiastical 
pile,  and  the  houses  of  the  canons  and  chaplains  in  the  College  of  Elgin, 
plundered  the  churches  and  carried  off  the  sacred  utensils  and 
vestments.  For  this  sacrilege  against  a  See  of  Rome,  the  Lord  of 
Badenoch  was  compelled  to  make  full  reparation,  and  was  then  absolved 
by  Walter  Trail,  Bishop  of  St.  Andrews,  in  the  church  of  the  Black 
Friars  in  Perth,  in  the  presence  of  his  brother.  King  Robert  III.  and 
the  nobility  of  Scotland. 

Sir  John  Lyon,  Knight  of  Glamys,  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  Sir 
Patrick  Lyon.*  He,  too,  saw  turmoil  and  tragedy.  On  March  28th, 
1424,  he  was  delivered  up  to  the  English  as  one  of  the  hostages  for  the 
ransom  of  James  I.  and  not  released  till  June,  1427.  Doubtless 
he  loved  the  monarch  of  advanced  ideas  and  elegant  accomplishments, 
and  the  horror  of  the  midnight  regicide  in  the  Monastery  of  the 
Dominicans  at  Perth  came  to  him  as  the  blackest  deed  in  his  country's 
sombre  chronicles.  But  Patrick  Lyon  had  sustaining  ambitions,  for 
this  feudal  chief  was  made  a  peer  of  Parliament  as  Lord  Glamis  in 
1445,  the  eighth  year  of  the  reign  of  James  II.  and  was  appointed 
Master  of  the  King's  household  in  1452.  He  married  Isabel,  daughter 
of  Alexander  Ogilvy,  and  had  three  sons  and  a  daughter, — Alexander, 
2nd  Lord  Glamis,  John,  3rd  Lord,  William  Lyon,  Master  of  the  Lyons 
of  Easter  Ogil  of  County  Forfar,  and  Elizabeth,  who  married  Alexander 
Robertson.  Patrick  Lyon  first  Lord  Glamis,  grandson  of  Sir  John 
Lyon  and  the  Princess  Jean,  died  1459. 

His  eldest  son,  Alexander  Lyon,  had  died  without  issue,  and  the 
Barony  devolved  upon  the  second  son,  John  Lyon,  3rd  Lord  Glamis, 
who  was  Privy  Councillor  to  James  IV,  and  Justice  General  of  Scotland. 
He  married  Elizabeth  daughter  of  Sir  John  Scrimguor  of  Dunlope, 
Constable  of  Dundee,  and  died  1494,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  son 
John  Lyon,  fourth  Lord  Glamis,  who  was  succeeded  twelve  years  later 
by  his  eldest  son  by  Emily,  daughter  of  Lord  Gray,  George  Lyon,  fifth

SOME   OLD  WORLD  LYONS  17 

Lord  Glamis.  He  died  unmarried,  and  the  title  passed  to  his  bi'other 
John  Lyon,  sixth  Lord  Glamis. 

John  Lyon,  third  Lord  Glamis,  John  Lyon,  fourth  Lord  Glamis, 
George  Lyon,  fifth  Lord  Glamis;  and  John  Lyon,  sixth  Lord  Glamis, 
lived  in  the  reign  of  James  IV.,  a  reign  of  twenty-five  years.  Battle, 
murder  and  execution  are  absent  from  the  annals  of  the  Monarch  who 
loved  chivalrous  display,  tournaments  and  martial  exercise.  A  season 
of  peace  blessed  the  land  that  had  been  harrowed  for  ages  by  private 
wars  and  civil  wars. 

The  Ceurt  was  merry,  but  far  from  moral.  Leniency  was  for 
one  and  all.  Gifts  and  favors  made  loyal  subjects,  and  the  chiefs  of 
the  Highlands  shared  the  largess  with  the  barons.  The  two  raids 
across  the  border  in  behalf  of  the  impostor,  Perkin  Warbeck,  were 
mere  incidents  of  Arms,  and  there  was  not  a  real  cloud  of  threatening 
on  the  political  horizon  of  Scotland  till  after  the  marriage  of  James 
IV.  and  Margaret  Tudor  in  1502.  The  death  of  Henry  VII.  changed  the 
friendly   relations    between   England   and    Scotland. 

Henry  VIII.  did  not  like  the  marriage  of  his  young  sister,  and 
refused  to  deliver  a  legacy  of  jewels  left  to  the  Queen  by  her  royal 
father.  Mutual  privateering  and  border  fray  increased  the  bad  feeling, 
and  the  continental  policy  of  Henry  in  regard  to  the  struggle  in  Italy 
between  Louis  XII.  and  Pope  Julian  I.  easily  provoked  a  war.  James 
renewed  his  alliance  with  the  King  of  France  1513.  The  herald  who 
brought  the  declaration  was  the  Scotch  Lord  Lyon,  another  Lyon 
King-at-Arms  or  Lion-King-at-Arms  one  of  the  Perthshire  courtiers,  or 
an  Earl  Marschal,  keeper  of  the  heraldic  beasts  of  the  royal  shield. 
The  largest  army  ever  raised  in  Scotland  met  the  English  at  Flodden 
Field.  Among  the  12,000  dead  in  that  "no  quarter"  massacre  was  the 
King;  the  nobility  was  almost  decimated,  and  many  families  lost  all 
their  sons.  The  mortality  was  terrible  in  an  age  when  the  Temple 
of  Janus  was  always  open.  Dugdale  of  the  "Baronage"  says:  "For 
of  no  less  than  270  families  touching  which  this  first  volume  doth 
take  notice,  there  will  hardly  be  found  above  eight  which  do  to  this 
continue,  and  of  those  not  anj'  whose  estates — compared  with  what 
their  ancestors  enjoyed — are  not  a  little  diminished, — nor  of  that  num- 
ber— I  mean  270 — above  twenty-four  who  are  by  any  younger  male 
branch  descended  from  them,  for  aught  I  can  discover."- 

Of  the  gentry  of  Berkshire  he  continued,  "It  is  remarkable  that 
there  is  not  one  family  descended  in  the  male  line  from  any  of  the 
gentry  ennumerated  in  the  above  list,  now  left  in  the  country."    The 


18  LYON    MEMORIAL 

males  of  either  kingdom  were  born  to  be  battle-slauglitered.  The 
mothers  spared  the  grief  of  losing  all  their  sons  were  fevv'. 

John  Lyon,  sixth  Lord  Glamis,  was  not  among  the  slain  at  Flodden, 
but  lived  to  fight  another  day.  He  married  Janet  Douglas,  a  woman 
of  rare  beauty,  daughter  of  George,  Master  of  Angus,  and  grand- 
daughter of  the  great  Earl  of  Angus  (Bell-the-Cat),  and  had  a  son, 
John  Lyon,  seventh  Lord  Glamis.  In  the  struggle  between  Angus 
and  Arran  in  the  rising  of  the  Highlands  to  uphold  the  claim  of 
Macdonald  to  the  Lordship  of  the  Isles,  Glamis  supported  Angus"  in 
the  hostilities  that  went  on  for  several  years,  till  it  ended  in  a  fight 
in  the  streets  of  Edinburgh,  where  the  victorious  Angus  drove  Arran 
out  of  the  town  and  seized  the  castle.  In  1525  Angus,  with  Beaton, 
obtained  possession  of  the  person  of  the  boy  King  James  V.  to  govern 
in  his  name  in  a  regency  that  lasted  till  1528,  the  year  of  the  death 
of  John  Lyon,   sixth  Lord   Glamis. 

His  widow,  the  beautiful  Janet  Douglas,  took  as  her  second  hus- 
band, Archibald  Campbell  of  Kepneith.  Another  Campbell  fell  in 
love  with  his  kinsman's  fair  wife,  and  to  revenge  a  repulse,  gave  in- 
formation to  the  authorities  that  she  and  her  husband,  her  young  son 
John  Lyon,  seventh  Lord  Glamis,  John  Lyon  a  relative,  and  an  old 
priest  were  conspiring  against  the  life  of  the  King  by  poison  and 
witchcraft.  They  were  tried  for  high  treason  and  condemned  on  the 
evidence  of  a  perjurer,  and  sentenced  to  be  burned  at  the  stake. 
Campbell  attempted  to  escape,  but  was  dashed  to  pieces  on  the  rocks 
below  the  window  of  his  prison.  But  Lady  Glamas  died  publicly  by 
fire  on  the  Castle  Hill  of  Edinburgh,  July  12th,  1537.  Owing  to  his 
tender  years,  John  Lyon,  seventh  Lord  Glamis,  was  spared  the  horrible 
fate  of  his  unfortunate  mother,  notwithstanding  he  had  been  convicted 
of  treason,  July  10th,  1537,  of  being  "art  and  part  of  concealing  and 
not  revealing  of  the  conspiring  and  imagination  in  the  destruction  of 
King  James  V.  by  poison,  imagined  and  conspired  by  Janet,  Lady 
Glamis,  his  mother,  to  which  he  consented  and  was  art  and  part  with 
her."  He  was  returned  to  prison,  and  the  sentence  suspended  till  he 
should  come  of  age. 

The  accuser  of  Glamis  and  his  mother,  on  his  death-bed,  a  prey 
to  remorse  (some  authorities  say  "one  Lyon")  avowed  his  crime  of 
swearing  away  the  life  of  Lady  Glam.is  and  her  son.  The  young 
Lord  Glamis  was  given  his  freedom,  and  being  a  minor  was  placed 
under  the  care  of  his  uncle  Alexander  Lyon.  His  estates  were  for- 
feited to  the  Crown  by  an  act  of  Parliament,  December  3rd,  1540.     In 


SOME  OLD  WORLD  LYONS  19 

January,  1542-3,  he  instituted  a  summons  of  redemption  of  forfeiture 
and  was  rescinded.  The  following  March  he  was  restored  to  his 
estates  and  honors  by  Parliament.  He  came  into  favor  after  the  heart 
of  James  V.  was  broken  by  the  treacherous  desertion  of  the  nobles. 

During  the  regency  of  Arran  and  Mary  of  Guise,  when  the  "orphan 
lass,"  Mary  Stuart,  was  Queen  of  Scotland,  he  had  charters  for  various 
lands  in  Aberdeenshire  in  1543-4,  and  of  the  Barony  of  Kinghorne  for- 
feited by  James  Kirkaldy  of  Grange  1548.  His  death  occurred  in  1558, 
twenty-one  years  after  the  terrible  death   of  his   innocent  mother. 

John  Lyon,  seventh  Lord  Glamis,  married  Janet  Keith,  sister  of 
William,  fourth  Earl  of  Marishal,  and  had  two  sons,  John  Lyon, 
eighth  Lord  Glamis,  and  Hon.  Sir  Thomas  Lyon,  known  to  fame  as  the 
Master  of  Glamis. 

Before  the  death  of  the  seventh  Lord  Glamis,  the  Reformation  had 
been  gradually  spreading  in  Scotland,  but  he  may  have  held  aloof 
from  the  religious  movement  that  was  paramount  during  the  life  of 
his  sons.  In  1548  Mary  Stuart  as  the  betrothed  of  the  Dauphin,  had 
been  sent  to  the  Court  of  France  to  be  brovight  up  with  the  children 
of  Henry  H.  and  Catherine  ae  Medici.  The  Queen  Dowager,  Mary  of 
Guise,  a  master  of  tact  and  craft,  had  gained  the  nobles  by  her  gracious 
promises,  and  the  people  by  tolerating  the  Reformation  so  '  far  that 
only  one  disagreeable  incident  had  occurred,  the  execution  of  "a  simple 
but  over  zealous  man  for  the  new  doctrine."  After  the  death  of 
Edward  VI.  1553,  the  Scottish  adherents  of  the  Reformation  who  had 
taken  refuge  in  England  had  to  go  abroad  or  return  home  to  escape 
the  persecution  of  Mary  Tudor.  The  powerful  preachers,  Harlow  and 
Whitlock  and  Knox  organized  the  church  in  Scotland  and  the  ministers 
of  the  Congregation  were  planted.  Knox  received  Edinburgh  for  his 
charge,"  and  Perth  and  Sterling  were  committed  to  the  Congregation. 
A  bond  drawn  up  in  1557  by  Argyle,  Morton,  Lome  and  Erskine  "to 
defend  the  whole  Congregation   of  Christ  and  every  member  thereof 

against  Satan  and  all  wicked  powers,"  was  the  first  Covenant. 

When  the  Regent,  Mary  of  Guise,  deserted  by  the  Scottish  nobility, 
came  to  die,  to  conform  had  become  general.  The  Parliament  of  that 
year  (1560),  the  great  Reformation  Parliament,  was  attended  by  the 
nobles,  bishops,  lesser  barons,  landed  gentry,  and  representatives.  On 
August  10th  the  Confession  of  Faith  was  sanctioned  by  the  estates, 
and  on  August  24th  an  act  was  passed  prohibiting  the  rites  by  the 
church  of  Rome.  Athole,  Summerville,  Caithness  and  Bothwell  alone 
of  all  the  nobles  voted  against  the  Confession,  and  the  power  of  the 


20  LYON    MEMORIAL 

State  was  in  the  hands  of  the  party  of  the  Reformation.  If  but  four 
of  the  nobles  voted  against  the  Confession,  then  the  sons  of  John 
Lyon,  seventh  Lord  Glamis,  John  Lyon,  eighth  Lord  Glamis,  and  the 
Thomas  Lyon,  Master  of  Glamis,  must  have  stood  in  line  with  the 
times  through  an  evolution  of  opinion,  and  accepted  the  new  order  of 
things  in  active  approbation. 

The  wheel  of  history  was  making  some  dizzy  revolutions  in 
Scotland,  carrying  the  Lyon  family  onward  in  a  rush  of  peculiar 
events.  The  widow.  Queen  Mary,  had  come  home  from  France  to  a 
career  of  capers  and  intrigues,  of  conspiracies  and  crimes,  and  the 
thunder-bolts  of  John  Knox  could  not  frighten  her  back  from  destruc- 
tion. Her  ill-advised  marriage  with  her  cousin,  Lord  Darnley,  the 
birth  of  her  son,  the  heir  to  the  throne,  the  murder  of  David  Rizzio, 
the  retaliatory  murder  of  Darnley,  and  the  suspicion  of  the  Queen's 
consent  to  the  death  of  her  husband,  Bothwell's  indecent  wooing  when 
the  royal  dead  was  just  buried.  Queen  Mary's  mad  marriage  with 
the  Black  Earl,  the  rebellion  of  her  outraged  subjects,  the  surrender 
at  Carbary  Hill,  and  the  escape  from  Lochleven  Castle  were  the 
extraordinary  happenings  of  seven  years  of  Scottish  history. 

The  Lyons  drew  near  together  while  their  giddy  sovereign  achieved 
ner  own  ruin,  distrustful  of  the  spinster  daughter  of  Henry  VIII. 
and  remembering  the  few  that  came  home  from  Flodden  Field,  put 
their  own  house  in  order  with  a  prayer  that  one  might  be  spared.  In 
a  charter  dated  April  23rd,  1567,  John  Lyon,  eighth  Lord  Glamis,  made 
an  entail  of  his  estates  of  Glamis,  Towndyce  and  Baky  in  Forfarshire, 
Cullan,  Buttergask,  Langforyard  and  Irchture  in  Perthshire,  Bethelvic, 
Ardendracht,  Collistown,  Coustertown  and  Drumgowan  in  Aberdeen- 
shire, on  himself  and  the  male  heirs  of  his  body,  Thomas  Lyon,  his 
brother,  John  Lyon  of  Haltown  of  Esse,  James  Lyon  of  Easter  Ogill, 
John  Lyon  of  Culwalogy,  and  the  heirs  of  their  bodies,  respectively, 
which  failing,  to  his  own  nearest  heirs  male  whatsoever  bearing  the 
name  and  Arms  of  Lyon.  This  charter  gives  the  headship  of  five 
prominent  branches  of  the  Lyon  family  of  Scotland  in  1567,  John  Lyon, 
eighth  Lord  Glamis;  Thomas  Lyon,  Master  of  Glamis;  John  Lyon  of 
Haltown  of  Esse;  James  Lyon  of  Easter  Ogill,  and  John  Lyon  of  Cul- 
walogy, all  lineal  descendants  of  the  Feudal  Baron  John  de  Lyon  of 
Fortevoit. 

The  eighth  Lord  Glamis  had  a  charter  of  the  Barony  of  Balky  to 
himself  and  his  wife,  Elizabeth  Abernathy,  daughter  of  Lord  Salton, 
dated  2nd  July,  1569,  the  sixth  month  of  Moray's  Regency.  During 
the  Regencies  of  Lenox,  Mar,  and  Morton,  he  rose  to  prominence.     He

was  sworn  a  Privy  Councillor  and  constituted  an  Extraordinary  Lord 
of  the  session,  30tli  September,  1570,  held  it  till  24th  October,  1573,  and 
in  1575  was  promoted  to  the  office  of  High  Chancellor  of  Scotland.  In 
the  meantime,  Moray  and  Lenox  had  died  by  violence,  and  Mar  by 
foul  play.  The  death  of  John  Knox,  and  the  Massacre  of  St.  Bartholo- 
mew had  been  simultaneous  events. 

In  March,  1578,  John  Lyon,  Lord  of  Glamis,  was  deputed  to  signify 
to  the  Earl  of  Morton,  Regent  of  Scotland,  that  the  King  had  now 
resolved  to  take  the  administration  of  the  national  affairs  in  his  own 
hands.  The  27th  day  of  the  same  month  the  eighth  Lord  Glamis  was 
killed  at  Sterling  in  an  accidental  encounter  between  his  own  followers 
and  those  of  the  Earl  of  Crawford.  He  was  counted  one  of  the  ablest 
men  of  his  own  party,  and  Douglas  took  pride  in  mentioning  that 
John  Lyon  had  a  correspondence  with  Beza,  the  French  reformer 
and  Calvanistic  theologian,  on  the  subject  of  church  polity  and  the 
doctrines  of  the  Prophet  of  Geneva. 

He  had  one  son,  Patrick  Lyon,  ninth  Lord  Glamis  and  two 
daughters,  the  Hon.  Jean  Lyon,  who  married;  1st  Robert  Douglas, 
the  younger  of  Lochleven;  2nd  1586  Archibald,  eighth  Lord  of  Angus, 
and  3rd  Alexander,  Lord  Spynie,  and  the  Hon.  Elizabeth  Lyon  who 
married   Patrick,    seventh  Earl    Gray. 

The  Hon,  Thomas  Lyon,  designated  Master  of  Glamis  as  presump- 
tive heir  to  the  title,  increased  his  estates  in  the  short  tenure  of  the 
death-shadowed  Regents,  Lenox,  Mar,  and  Morton.  He  had  charters 
to  "Thomas  Lyon,  brother  of  John,  Lord  Glamis"  of  Seragesfield,  18th 
September,  1571;  of  the  Dominical  lands  of  Balumbu.  also  the  lands 
of  Gogar,  and  Grugar  in  the  counties  of  Edinburgh  and  Air,  to  "Thomas 
Lyon  of  Balkouky,  Master  of  Glamis  and  Agnes  Gray,  Lady  Home, 
his  wife,  20th  June,  1579,  of  the  Barony  of  Melgownd,"  etc.,  in  Forfar- 
shire, to  them  6th  May,  1586. 

Morton,  in  1581,  was  accused  in  the  Council  of  Holyrood  for  com- 
plicity in  the  murder  of  Darnley.  He  was  tried  and  on  his  own 
confession  that  Bothwell  had  revealed  to  him  the  plot  to  kill  the 
Queen's  husband,  was  convicted  as  an  accomplice  in  the  crime. 

The  management  of  the  affairs  of  the  realm  passed  to  Lenox  and 
Stewart.  One  had  been  created  a  Duke,  and  the  other  received  the 
Earldom  of  Arran.  These  two  ambitious  personages  in  1582  were  in  a 
plot  to  associate  Mary  Stuart  with  her  son  in  the  Government,  to 
renew  the  league  with  France,  and  through  a  breach  with  England 
to  restore  the  church  of  Rome.    Bribes  won  even  many  of  the  nobility

to  this  hazardous  scheme  The  Presbyterian  ministers  were  not 
approachable,  and  an  illegal  banishment  of  the  clergy  was  expedient. 
A  proclamation  for  an  Extraordinary  Chamberlain  Air — an  itinerant 
Court  of  Justice — to  be  held  at  Lenox,  precipitated  the  Raid  of  Ruthvan. 
where  the  Master  of  Glamis  was  one  of  the  principal  agents  in  the 
seizure  of  the  person  of  the  King.  James  was  on  a  visit  to  the  Earl 
of  Cowrie  at  the  Castle  of  Hunting  Tower  near  Perth.  During  the 
absence  of  Lenox  and  Arran,  the  Master  of  Glamis,  with  some  others, 
surrounded  the  Castle  with  armed  men,  and  with  Gowrie  made  James 
VI.  a  prisoner.  The  King,  trusting  none  and  fearing  all,  started 
toward  the  door  in  an  impulse  of  flight,  but  the  Master  of  Glamis 
stayed  his  going.  The  apprehensive  James  in  his  alarmed  agitation 
burst  into  tears,  exclaiming  "No  matter,  better  children  weep  than 
armed  men,"  and  surrendered  to  these  new  enforced  guardians.  Arran, 
on  his  return  to  Perth,  was  cast  into  prison  by  this  other  band  of 
conspirators,  and  Lenox  took  refuge  in  Dumbarton  Castle,  and  soon 
fled  to  France. 

The  tutelage  of  the  Protestant  nobles  was  disagreeable  and  irri- 
tating to  the  royal  youth,  and  at  length  he  escaped  from  Falkland  to 
St.  Andrews.  The  Raid  of  Ruthvan  was  declared  high  treason.  The 
Earl  of  Gowrie  was  taken  and  executed  for  his  political  crime.  But 
the  Master  of  Glamis  fled  to  England  to  review  the  situation  and  re- 
adjust his  plans.  In  May  of  the  same  year,  Thomas  Lyon  returned  to 
Scotland,  and  with  the  Earls  of  Angus  and  Mar,  seized  Sterling  Castle 
and  assumed  the  Government.  But  they  were  presently  obliged  to  fly 
across  the  border.  The  following  year  the  Master  of  Glamis  and  the 
other  banished  nobles  came  north,  bringing  a  great  force  with  them. 
They  invaded  the  Palace  and  compelled  Stewart,  Earl  of  Arran,  to  quit 
the  royal  presence.  This  high-handed  disloyalty  was  graciously  for- 
given, and  they  were  restored  to  favor.  Thomas  Lyon  received  the 
prodigal's  ring  and  embrace  in  being  appointed  Captain  of  the  King's 
Guards  in  the  place  of  Arran,  and  was  made  high  treasurer  of  Scotland. 
He  was  also  constituted  an  extraordinary  Lord  of  the  Session,  held  the 
position  for  six  years,  then  was  re-appointed  and  sat  till  May  28th, 
1593. 

The  nobility  and  landed  gentry  were  spoilsmen  and  quick 
to  take  advantage  of  the  King's  privilege  to  grant  feus  of  church 
lands  annexed  to  the  Crown.  The  Master  of  Glamis,  the  prime  mover 
In  the  Raid  of  Ruthvan,  must  have  rated  his  second  treason  of  the 
seizure  of  Sterling  Castle  and  the  person  of  James  VI.  as  a  service 


SOME   OLD  WORLD  LYONS  23 

rendered  to  his  sovereign.  By  force  of  argument  of  a  Calvanistic  turn, 
he  may  have  appeased  the  sombre  yet  fickle  conscience  of  an  unfilial 
son  in  the  days  of  fretful  remorse  or  religious  excitement  after  Mary 
Stuart  expiated  her  follies  on  the  block  at  Fortheringay.  James  had 
needs  to  lean  upon  a  character  of  tremendous  strength,  and  nothing 
daunted  Thomas  Lyon.  Tomorrow  was  seen  through  a  veil  of  sickening 
uneasiness.  It  might  be  his  turn  next.  Out  from  the  dank  crypt  of 
history  came  a  grisly  procession  of  Scottish  Kings  to  point  to  their 
wounds  and  remind  him  that  the  divinity  that  hedged  him  'round 
would  not  save  him  from  the  swords  of  the  lawless  Barons.  The 
headless  ghost  of  his  crown-robbed  mother  lurked  behind  the  hangings 
of  his  chamber.  He  did  not  remember  her  fair  face,  and  he  had  been 
told  that  she  was  a  baggage  who  had  sinned  many  sins.  But  he  had 
sided  against  the  woman  who  bore  him,  for  a  woman  who  delivered 
her  royal  person  to  the  heads-man. 

An  axe-blow  could  sever  the  stem  of  his  own  neck,  if  his  terrible 
cousin  in  the  ruff  and  farthingale  had  him  within  her  borders.  And 
while  the  miserable  young  Monarch,  haunted  by  horrors  that  had 
come  to  pass,  and  horrors  that  were  yet  to  be,  fretted  over  the  Govern- 
ment of  a  turbulent  and  fearful  people,  the  few  near  his  person, 
by  indulging  his  humors,  reaped  much  benefit.  Thomas  Lyon  received 
a  charter  of  Tullock  and  Crawquhy  in  Forfarshire,  August  19th,  1587, 
"to  Thomas  Lyon  of  Baldoukie,  His  Majesty's  treasurer.  Master  of 
Glamis,  of  Corstown,  and  of  the  Barony  of  Dod  in  Forfarshire,  to 
him  and  Eufamia  Douglas,  his  wife,  November  7th,  1589,"  adding  sub- 
stantially to  his  estate. 

The  King  in  1585,  "was  become  a  brave  prince  in  bodie  and 
ptature,  so  well  exercised  in  reading  that  he  could  perfitlie  record  all 
things  he  had  either  heard  or  read.  Therefore  that  noble  King  Frederic 
II.  of  Denmark,  who  had  then  twa  daughters,  was  willing  (gif  it  suld 
please  our  King)  either  to  give  him  the  choice  of  thaim,  or  that  he 
would  accept  the  one  of  thaim  as  it  suld  please  the  father  to  bestow 
guhilk  suld  be  maist  comely,  and  the  best  for  his  princelie  content- 
ment." To  Danish  Anna  fell  the  honor  of  being  the  royal  bride.  After 
a  long  proxy  courtship,  a  romantic  marriage,  and  a  honeymoon  spent 
at  Upslo,  the  Danish  princess  was  brought  home  to  Scotland,  and  her 
coronation  took  place  within  the  Abbey  of  Holyrood  on  the  17th  of 
May,  1590.  "Twa  high  places  were  appointed  there,  one  for  the 
King  and  the  other  for  the  Queen.  The  King's  procession,  having  en- 
tered the  Abbey,  that  of  the  Queen,  preceded  by  several  Danish  nobles, 


24  LYON    MEMORIAL 

magnificently  dressed,  with  diamond  chains  about  their  necks,  then 
came  the  Scottish  nobles  and  heralds;  Lord  Lion,  King-at-Arms,  ushered 
Lord  Thirlstone  bearing  between  his  two  hands  the  Queen's  Crown,  then 
follov/ed  the  Queen  herself  in  royal  robes."  The  company  and  the  cere- 
mony were  splendidly  imposing  as  described  in  a  contemporary  chron- 
icle. Here,  as  at  the  coronation  of  Robert  II.,  Lion-King-at-Arms  was  a 
striking  feature  of  an  historical  pageant.  Princely  revelry  on  that  May 
Sunday,  frightened  the  Holyrood  ghosts  back  to  the  shades.  On  Tuesday 
the  Queen,  in  a  gilded  coach,  the  King  and  the  Court,  had  a  street  par- 
ade in  Edinburgh,  and  the  festivities  were  prolonged  even  into  the 
month  of  June.  Thomas  Lyon,  Master  of  Glamis,  was  Knighted  while 
the  coronation  rejoicing  was  in  progress.  On  May  27th,  1590,  the  Scot- 
tish statesman  and  soldier  knelt  before  the  royal  pair  and  was  dubbed 
Sir  Knight.  He  was  still  among  the  King's  advisers  and  held  the  impor- 
tant office  of  high  treasurer  of  Scotland  till  1595. 

After  1571  he  had  married  Agnes  Gray,  Lady  Howe,  third  daughter 
of  the  fifth  Lord  Howe,  widow  of  Sir  Robert  Logan,  and  of  Alexander, 
fifth  Lord  Howe;  and  for  a  second  wife,  he  married  Lady  Eufamia 
Douglas.  There  was  another  charter  granted  to  him  April  6th,  1594,  "to 
Thomas  Lyon  of  Auldbar,  Knight,  and  Euphemia  Douglas  his  wife." 
From  the  return  of  the  banished  Lords  in  1585,  he  had  remained  in 
favor  with  the  King,  faithful  to  the  best  interests  of  his  sovereign, 
and  when  death  ended  his  eventful  life  James  \i.  of  Scotland  and  I.  of 
England  said:  "The  boldest  and  hardest  man  of  my  dominion  is 
dead."  But  two  of  his  children  are  on  record,  a  daughter,  Mary  Lyon, 
who  married  Robert  Semphell  of  Bellars,  and  a  son,  John  Lyon,  who, 
August  6th,  1608,  served  as  heir  to  his  father,  Sir  Thomas  Lyon, 
Knight,  in  the  Barony  of  Melgund  lands  of  Auldbar,  etc.,  etc.  But 
he  may  have  had  other  sons  forgotten  by  an  absentee  King  and 
omitted  in  the  family  annals.  John  Lyon  of  Auldbar  married  a 
daughter  of  George  Gladstone,  Archbishop  of  St.  Andrews.  He  must 
have  died  before  1617  without  issue,  or  lost  favor  through  some 
political  blunder  and  forfeited  his  estates,  involving  all  other  descend- 
ants of  Sir  Thomas  Lyon,  Knight.  At  any  rate,  Anne  Murray,  Countess 
of  Kinghorne,  and  her  son,  John  Lyon,  second  Earl  of  King- 
horne,  August  8th,  1617,  had  a  charter  to  the  Barony  of  Auldbar 
in  Forfarshire.  The  lands  of  Auldbar  had  been  given  by  Earl  Patrick 
to  his  second  son,  Hon.  James  Lyon,  who  died  without  issue,  and  this 
estate  reverted  to  the  family.  The  next  Lyon  of  Auldbar,  after  a  lapse 
of  three  generations,  was  John  Lyon,    Esq.,  of  Brachin  in  North  Britain, 


SOME   OLD  WORLD  LYONS  25 

a  great  grandson  of  the  famous  Master  of  Glamis,  Sir  Thomas  Lyon. 

Patrick,  ninth  Lord  Glamis,  being  a  minor  at  the  time  of  the 
death  of  his  father,  John  Lyon,  eighth  Lord,  in  1578,  was  placed  under 
the  tuition  of  his  uncle.  Sir  Thomas  Lyon,  who  was  afterward  (1585) 
high  treasurer  of  Scotland.  He  served  as  heir  in  general  of  his  grand- 
father, John  Lyon,  seventh  Lord  Glamis,  January  29th,  1600.  Through 
his  rank  he  received  a  remission  under  the  great  seal,  dated  15th  of 
September,  1601,  of  penalty  for  a  transgression  of  violence  to  him  and 
his  five  servants,  for  the  slaughter  of  Patrick  Johnstown  in  Haltown 
of  Belhelote,  slain  on  the  6th  of  September,  accidental  homicide, 
justifiable  homicide  and  incidental  homicide,  misfortunate  matters 
too  common  with  the  nobility  and  the  gentry  not  to  be  easily  pardoned. 
In  1604,  Lord  Patrick  Lyon  was  sworn  a  privy  councillor  of  James  VI, 
and  chosen  by  Parliament  as  one  of  the  Commissioners  to  treat  of 
the  Union  with  England. 

Favors  continued  to  be  heaped  upon  him.  He  had  charters  of 
Ardwork  in  Forfarshire  8th  of  August,  1605,  of  Kingseat  in  Aberdeen- 
shire 17th  June,  1606,  and  by  a  patent  dated  10th  July,  1606,  was  raised 
to  the  dignity  of  Earl  of  Kinghorne,  Lord  Lyon  and  Glamis.  He  and 
his  wife,  Anne  Murray,  and  their  second  son,  James  Lyon,  had  charter 
of  Wester  Drynic  in  Forfarshire,  20th  May,  1608,  of  the  Isle  of  Inch 
Keith  and  right  to  the  patronage  of  Kinghorne,  10th  June,  1609,  of  the 
Barony  of  Farnadic  the  following  year  and  of  the  dominical  lands  of 
Hurley  in  1613.  His  death  occurred  December  19th,  1615,  and  he  was 
succeeded  by  his  eldest  son,  John  Lyon,  second  Earl  of  Kinghorne.  He 
had  also  a  daughter,  Anne,  who  married  the  Earl  of  Errol,  and  a 
third  son,  Hon.  Fredrick  Lyon,  who  got  from  his  father  the  lands  of 
Brighton  and  was  the  ancestor  of  the  Lyons  of  Brighton.  John  Lyon, 
tenth  Lord  Glamis  and  second  Earl  of  Kinghorne,  was  a  minor  when 
he  came  into  his  lands  and  titles.  In  1603,  at  the  succession  of  King 
James  VI.,  Scotland  had  become  a  part  of  England,  the  home  of  the 
elder  branch  of  the  Lyon   family. 

Sir  Adam  Lyon,  first  son  of  John  de  Lyon,  Feudal  Baron  of 
Forteviot,  the  descendant  of  the  Norman  de  Leonne  who  fought  at 
Hastings  with  the  Conqueror,  was  of  Norfolk,  England,  at  the  time 
his  brother  John  de  Lyon,  married  the  Princess  Jean,  daughter  of 
Robert  High  Stewart  of  Scotland.*  Sir  Adam  Lyon,  Knight,  had  two 
sons, — Sir  John  Lyon  born  about  1320,  who  was  Knighted  by  Edward

III.  and  Adam  de  Lyon  born  about  1325.  Sir  John  Lyon,  Knight  of 
Norfolk,  had  three  sons, — Sir  Richard  Lyon  born  about  1350,  and  Sir 
John  Lyon  born  about  1353,  both  Knighted  by  Edward  IV.  and  Henry 
Lyon  born  about  1355.  Henry  Lyon  of  Rystippe,  Middlesex,  born  in 
Norfolk  about  1355,  great  grandson  of  John  de  Lyon,  Feudal  Baron  of 
Forteviot,  had  a  son,  John  Lyon,  born  at  Rystippe  about  1380.  He  was 
with  the  army  of  Henry  V.  that  invaded  Normandy,  and  was  at  Agin- 
court,  amid  the  splendid  pageantry  of  a  war  that  made  England  heir  to 
the  Crown  of  France,  and  was  present  at  the  famous  battle.  He  had  a 
son,  Henry  Lyon,  born  at  Rystippe  about  1410,  the  second  of  a  name 
which  became  a  heritage  among  the  Lyons.  Jotm  was  a  favorite  pre- 
nomen  with  the  English  as  well  as  the  Scotch  Lyons.  Thomas  and 
William  were  also  baptismal  names  repeated  from  generation  to  gener- 
ation. The  name  of  Adam  came  in  use  in  1225,  that  of  Richard  1350  and 
that  of  Henry  in  1355.  Henry  Lyon  of  Rystippe,  born  about  1410,  had 
four  sons  all  born  at  Rystippe,  Henry  born  about  1440,  John  born  about 
1450,  Thomas  born  about  1455  and  William  born  about  1508,  who  died 
without  issue.  Henry  Lyon  of  Rystippe,  Middlesex,  England  (1410),  the 
third  of  the  name,  had  two  sons, — 1st  John,  born  about  1470,  and  2nd, 
William,  born  about  1475. 

John  Lyon  (1450),  second  son  of  Henry  of  Rystippe,  had  a  son, 
John  Lyon  of  Preston,  Midulesex  County,  born  1500,  who  was  the 
founder  of  the  famous  English  school  of  Harrow-on-the-Hill,  ten  miles 
from  London.  This  philanthropic  yeoman  of  Preston  yearly  set  aside 
the  sum  of  twenty  marks  for  the  education  of  the  poor  children  of 
Harrow.  The  school  of  Harrow  was  founded  1571.  Queen  Elizabeth 
granted  the  charter.  But  the  statutes  were  drawn  up  by  the  founder 
in  1590.  However,  the  first  building  was  not  completed  till  1611.  A.t 
his  death,  October  3rd,  1692,  he  settled  two-thirds  of  his  property  on 
the  school,  and  left  the  other  third  for  the  maintenance  of  a  high- 
road between  Harrow  and  London.  John  Lyon  and  his  widow,  Jean 
Lyon,  who  died  August  30th,  1608,  are  buried  at  Harrow.  They  had — 
Mary,  born  at  Preston  1540,  buried  at  Harrow  December  13th,  1568, 
Jean,  born  at  Preston  1545.  buried  at  Harrow,  May  13th,  1559,  and 
Zachery,  born  at  Preston  1560,  died  without  issue,  and  was  buried  at 
Harrow,  May  11th,  1583.  It  is  a  pleasing  coincidence  that  Mary  Lyon, 
the  American  Educator,  Founder  of  Mount  Holyoke  Seminary  (now 
College),  for  the  higher  education  of  women,  should  have  borne  the 
name  of  the  eldest  daughter  of  John  Lyon,  founder  of  the  great  school 
of  Harrow-on-the-Hill.

Thomas  Lyon  (1455)  of  Perefore  Middlesex  County,  third  son  of 
Henry  Lyon  of  Rystippe,  had  two  sons.  The  first  of  these  was  Sir 
John  Lyon,  born  about  1490,  who  was  Knighted  by  Queen  Elizabeth. 
In  1550  he  was  made  an  Alderman  of  London  and  High  Sheriff  and  in 
1554  was  Lord  Mayor.  By  his  wife  Alicia  he  had  a  son,  John  Lyon, 
born  about  1550  and  died  without  issue  1620.  The  second  son  of 
Thomas  Lyon  (1455),  was  Henry  Lyon  of  Roxley  in  Lincolnshire.  By 
his  wife  Dorothy,  he  had  two  sons,  Richard  Lyon  of  West  Twyford, 
Middlesex  County,  born  about  1532,  and  Henry  Lyon  of  Harrow-on- 
the-Hill,  born  about  1550,  who  died  October  16th,  1590.  Richard  Lyon, 
of  West  Twyford  1532,  by  his  first  wife  Agnes,  had  a  son  Henry  Lyon 
of  Roxley  in  Lincolnshire,  born  about  1655,  who  married  Catherine 
Rithe,  and  had  issue,  also  issue  by  his  second  wife,  Mabilla,  daughter 
of  Adam  Dornell  of  Thornhohn,  Lincolnshire.  By  his  second  wife, 
Isabella  Millet,  Richard  Lyon  of  Twyford  had  three  children,  John 
Lyon  born  about  1560,  died  without  issue,  Dorothy  Lyon,  born  1565, 
married  Humphrey  Hyde  of  Northeste,  Berkshire,  had  issue,  and 
Catherine  Lyon,  born  1570,  married  William  Gifford  of  Northeste, 
Middlesex  County,  and  had  issue. 

John  Lyon  of  Rystippe,  the  third,  first  son  of  Henry  Lyon  (1440), 
was  born  there  1470.  He  married  Emma  Hedde,  and  had  four  sons, 
Henry  Lyon,  born  1500,  Thomas,  born  1503,  Richard,  born  1505,  and 
John,  born  1510.  It  is  a  singular  fact  that  of  the  fifteen  Lyons  who  came 
to  the  American  Colonies  between  1638-1683,  twelve  of  them  bore  the 
distinctive  family  names  of  these  sons  of  John  Lyon  of  Rystippe,  the 
exception  being  William  of  Roxbury,  and  Peter  and  George  Lyon  of 
Dorchester.  However,  William  was  a  name  that  begun  with  the  William 
Lyon  who  was  born  at  Rystippe  1640  and  continued  in  favor. 

John  Lyon  of  Little  Stanmer,  Middlesex  County,  first  son  of  John 
Lyon  of  Rystippe,  was  born  at  Rystippe  1510.  His  wife,  Jean  Lyon, 
died  April  5th,  1535,  just  a  hundred  years  before  her  great  grandson, 
William  Lyon  of  Heston,  landed  at  Boston  September  11th,  1635,  a  lad 
of  fourteen,  who  sailed  in  the  ship  "Hopewell,"  with  Capt.  Babb.  No 
doubt  he  was  under  the  care  of  Isaac  Heath  a  fellow  passenger,  who 
brought  his  own  family  with  him,  drifting  on  the  westward  tide  of 
Puritan  emigration  from  a  King-ridden,  clergy-ridden  country  to  the 
Land  of  Hope.  John  Lyon  of  Little  Stanmer,  and  his  wife,  Jean,  had 
three  children,  William  born  1540,  Elizabeth  born  1545,  died  1606,  and 
Thomas  born  1550.  Thomas  Lyon  (1550),  had  a  son  William  Lyon, 
born  1575,  died  1624.     This  William  Lyon  was  called  the  Marquis  of 


28  LYON    MEMORIAL 

Southwold,  and  he  was  owner  of  the  forefather  ship  "Lyon,"  which 
brought  many  a  cargo  of  precious  souls  to  New  England.  Among  her 
passengers  was  Rev.  John  Eliot  the  non-conformist  minister  of  Roxbury 
church,  the  Apostle  of  the  American  Indians,  and  Roger  Williams, 
the  Apostle  of  Civil  Liberty. 

William  Lyon  of  Stanmer  Parva,  Middlesex  County,  first  son  of 
John  Lyon  of  Little  Stanmer,  who  was  born  at  Little  Stanmer  1540, 
was  buried  at  the  place  of  his  nativity  September  17th,  1624,  the  year 
before  the  death  of  King  James  I.  He  was  twice  married,  first  to 
Isabella,  daughter  of  William  Wightman,  Esq.,  second  to  Audry  Deer- 
ing,  by  whom  he  had  three  sons,  William,  born  at  Stanmer  Parva,  1580, 
Thomas,  born  1585,  (he  had  issue) ;  and  Robert,  born  1590.  His  con- 
temporaries among  his  kindred  of  the  Scottish  branch  of  the  Lyon 
family  were:  John  Lyon,  Eighth  Lord  Glamis,  Patrick  Lyon,  who  was 
first  Earl  of  Kinghorne,  and  Thomas  Lyon,  Master  of  Glamis. 

William  Lyon,  born  at  Stanmer  Parva,  1580  was  William  Lyon 
of  Heston,  Middlesex  County.  He  resided  at  Heston,  but  was  buried 
at  Little  Stanmer,  November  17th,  1634.  He  married  at  Harrow-on-the- 
Hill,  July  17th,  1615,  Anne  Carter,  and  they  lived  together  for  nineteen 
years.  She  did  not  long  survive  her  husband,  and  was  buried  at 
Little  Stanmer  Feb.  18th,  1638.  The  children  of  William  of  Heston 
were:  Catherine,  baptised  at  Heston  August  25th,  1616,  John,  baptised 
June,  1619,  and  William,  baptised  December  20th,  1620.t 

When  William  Lyon  of  Heston  died  in  1634,  John  Lyon,  tenth  Lord 
Glamis,  and  second  Earl  of  Kinghorn,  was  head  of  the  Lyon  family 
of  Scotland.  The  Nation  through  political  evolution,  had  fallen  upon 
evil  times.  The  taint  of  a  democratic  tendency  in  the  North  had 
spread  across  the  border,  and  the  absolutism  of  the  Tudor  Kings  ended 
with  the  expiring  breath  of  the  man-minded  Elizabeth.  The  crown 
made  by  the  cold  fingers  of  the  dying  Sovereign,  had  given  her  domin- 
ion to  her  Scotch  cousin.  But  the  mantle  of  her  greatness  fell  apart 
and  crumbled  away  when  her  coflin  was  borne  from  Richmond,  to  be 
deposited  in  Westminster.  Elizabeth  was  long-headed,  tactful  and 
liberal,  and  the  destruction  of  the  Spanish  Armada  was  one  of  the 
glories  of  her  reign.  James  was  purblind,  bad-tempered  and  narrow, 
and  the  Gunpowder  Plot  completely  addled  his  confused  judgment. 
When  the  monarch  who  styled  himself  King  of  Great  Britain,  uttered 


t  It  was  this  William  Lyon  who  came  to  America  in  1635  and  settled 
in  Roxbury,  Mass.  A  full  account  of  his  descendants  is  contained  In  the 
"Lyon  Memorial,  Massachusetts  Families."

his  rash  threat  at  the  Conference  of  Hampton  Court  with  the  leading 
Puritan  clergy,  and  the  leading  bishops,  "I  will  make  them  conform, 
or  I  will  harry  them  out  of  the  land,"  he  threw  down  the  gage  of 
battle  to  a  militant  people,  whose  army  had  been  gathering  from 
among  tradesmen,  artisans,  yoemen,  and  nobles  since  the  note  of 
personal  freedom  was  sounded  by  the  divine  trumpet  of  the  Reforma- 
tion two  centuries  before. 

In  the  fatality  that  attended  the  fortunes  of  the  Stuarts,  he 
contaminated  his  son  by  the  bad  teaching  of  his  despotic  example,  and 
when  he  came  to  die,  after  years  of  misgovernment,  the  heritage 
of  his  evasions,  blunders,  and  disasters  brought  the  ruin  of  a  madly 
rash  course  and  a  death  on  the  block  to  his  unhappy  successor. 

The  Covenanters  were  tenacious,  the  Puritans  were  heroic.  These 
fanatical  religionists  were  but  biding  their  time,  while  Charles  I.  as  if 
fate-driven  was  destroying  the  very  fabric  of  the  State.  Long  ago,  as 
far  back  as  1618,  the  dragon's  teeth  of  a  religious  war  had  been 
sown  by  the  adoption  of  the  five  articles  of  Perth,  and  the  fertile  North 
had  grown  a  lusty  crop  of  determined  rebellers.  The  Scots,  armed  with 
spear  and  sword,  of  religious  and  political  instinct  were  ripe  for  a  revo- 
lution. The  Nobles  and  landed  gentry  were  alienated  from  the  King. 
The  removal  of  the  Court  had  robbed  them  of  prestige  and  profit. 
Those  near  the  royal  presence  were  promoted  and  flattered,  those 
afar  were  neglected  and  despised.  Furthermore,  his  peculiar  policy 
meant  ruin  for  those  of  his  native  land.  A  petition  of  protest  was  put 
into  private  circulation  against  thirty-one  acts  "hurtful  to  the  liberty 
of  the  subject,"  passed  by  a  Parliament  where  Charles  had  presided. 
A  copy  of  this  document  was  found  in  the  possession  of  Lord  Balmoral. 
He  was  tried  for  sedition,  received  a  capital  sentence,  which  was 
afterward  modified  to  imprisonment.  The  Scots  were  astir  with  a 
secret  resentment  which  became  open  revolt  when  the  use  of  the 
liturgy  at  St.  Giles  Church  in  Edinburgh  and  at  Greyfriers  in  Perth 
occasioned  riots. 

Montrose  received  a  commission  from  the  Tables,  a  board  of 
representatives  chosen  by  the  nobility,  country  gentry,  clergy,  and 
inhabitants  of  the  burghs,  to  raise  troops  for  the  service  of  the 
Covenanters,  which  he  proceeded  to  embody  with  extraordinary  power. 
Within  a  month  he  collected  some  three  thousand  foot  and  horse  from 
Perth,  Forfar  and  Fife,  and  put  them  under  military  discipline. 
Joined  by  forces  under  General  Leslie,  the  rebel  army  marched  upon 
Aberdeen  which  the  Marquis  of  Huntley  abandoned  at  their  approach. 


30  LYON   MEMORIAL 

It  was  "upon  morn,  being  Saturday,  they  came  in  order  of  battell, 
weil  armed  both,  on  horse  and  foot,  all  horsemen  having  five  shots  at 
least  with  one  carabine  in  his  hand,  two  pistols  by  his  sydes  and  two 
others  at  his  saddle  toir.  The  pike  men  in  their  ranks,  with  pike  and 
sword,  the  musketiers  in  their  rank  with  musket  stuffe,  bandelier, 
sword,  power  match  ilk  company,  both  foot  and  horse  had  their 
Captain,  Lieutenants,  Ensigns,  Sergeants  and  other  officers  and  com- 
manders all  for  the  most  part  in  buff  coats  and  in  goodly  order. 
They  had  five  colors  of  ensigns,  whereof  the  Earl  of  Montrose  had 
one  having  this  motto:  'For  religion,  the  Covenant  and  the  Countrie,' 
the  Earl  Marischell  had  one,  the  Earl  of  Kinghorn  had  one,  and  the 
town  of  Dundee  had  two." 

This  Earl  of  Kinghorn  was  John  Lyon,  tenth  Lord  of  Glamis,  a 
descendant  in  the  third  generation  from  John  Lyon,  who  was  tried 
and  convicted  for  "being  art  and  part  of  concealing  and  not  revealing 
of  the  conspiring  and  imagination  in  the  destruction  of  King  James 
V.  by  poison  imagined  and  conspired  by  Janet,  Lady  Glamis,  his 
mother."  The  unlaid  ghost  of  the  woman  who  died  by  fire  on  the 
Castle  Hill  of  Edinburgh  made  every  Lyon  the  hereditary  enemy 
of  every  Stuart  King.  However,  the  second  Earl  of  Kinghorn  voted 
in  the  Parliament  against  the  delivery  of  King  Charles  L  up  to  the 
English,  an  act  of  tardy  loyalty  to  a  faithless  Monarch  avenged  by 
Cromwell  when  he  made  a  barrack  of  Glamis  Castle  for  his  Round- 
head soldiery.  The  King  declined  to  do  battle  with  Leslie  and  Mont- 
rose, and  the  Scottish  army  disbanded. 

By  the  pacification  of  Berwick  it  was  agreed  that  all  ecclesiastical 
matters  should  be  regulated  by  an  assembly  to  be  held  at  Edinburgh 
and  all  civil  matters  by  Parliament  and  other  legal  Courts.  And  the 
Earls  went  home  with  their  foot  and  horse,  to  await  the  next  move 
of  destiny  in  the  crowned  Beelzebub,  who  was  liege  of  the  United 
Kingdom.  They  remembered  the  signing  of  the  National  Covenant  in 
Greyfriers  Church  that  bleak  March  day,  when  the  Nobles  and  the 
gentry,  three  hundred  ministers  and  a  great  multitude  of  people, 
pledged  themselves  before  Almighty  God  to  maintain  the  Presbyterian 
doctrine  and  polity  as  the  sole  religion  of  their  country,  to  the 
exclusion  of  Prelacy  and  Popery.  Copies  of  this  heaven-inspired  docu- 
ment had  been  dispatched — a  veritable  "tarie" — the  length  and  breadth 
of  Scotland.  And  this  great  clan  of  an  outraged  Nation  would 
answer  the  summons  of  their  Chief  in  the  heavens.  The  Lord  God 
of  Sabbaoth.     And  the   day  of   doom   grew   nearer  and   nearer.     The 


SOME  OLD  WORLD  LYONS  31 

Covenant  of  Iboo  was  as  dear  to  the  Scots  as  the  Magna  Charta  was  to 
the  English.  In  1641  the  Parliament  met  at  Edinburgh.  The  King 
was  in  attendance,  unscrupulous,  insincere,  complying  with  the  bold 
demands  of  his  rebellious  subjects  and  he  hoped  to  corrupt  the  leading 
Covenanters  by  favors  and  promises.  But  the  pleasing  compromises 
of  a  protestant  tainted  with  Rome  by  no  means  propitiated  a  people 
familiar  with  his  trickery  in  politics.  They  did  not  love  a  Stuart  and 
it  behooved  a  distrustful  King  to  realize  his  limitation.  Macauley 
shows  the  quality  of  the  fealty  of  these  feudal  chieftains.  "They 
butchered  James  I.  in  his  bedchamber,  repeatedly  they  were  in  arms 
against  James  II.,  they  slew  James  III.  on  the  field  of  battle,  broke  the 
heart  of  James  V.,  deposed  Mary  and  led  her  son  into  captivity,  and 
virtually  sold  her  grandson  for  a  price."  North  of  the  border  there 
was  an  unmentioned  equality  between  Monarch  and  Noble.  They  had 
little  respect  for  the  authority  of  James  VI.  of  Scotland,  when  he 
assayed  to  rule  them  from  the  English  throne.  Charles  Stuart 
might  be  their  Sovereign  by  the  Grace  of  God,  but  the  laird,  the 
patriarchal  headship  of  a  clan  was  a  King  by  rights  as  old  as  tradition. 
They,  and  all  that  subscribed  the  Covenant,  saw  him  as  a  bishop-ruled, 
queen-ruled  despot,  who  would  pull  down  Jehovah's  temple  of  the 
Kirk  with  his  episcopacy  and  deliver  the  Scots  to  a  Babylon  captivity, 
where  the  liturgy  and  the  canons  would  bind  them  in  perpetual 
thraldom. 

They  stood  by  him  v/hen  the  tidal  wave  of  fire  of  the  Civil  War 
left  him  helpless.  Still  they  had  no  pity  for  him.  His  regnal  years 
had  been  a  never-ended  battle  betwixt  an  idee  fixe  of  an  hereditary 
opinion  and  an  idee  fixe  of  religious  liberty.  Wyclifs'  tracts  and 
texts  in  the  South  and  John  Knox's  sermons  in  the  North  had  given 
Great  Britain  a  fitter  King,  and  all  the  slain  at  Naseby  and  Marston 
Moor  "died  for  the  cause  of  freedom  and  the  truth  in  Christ." 

But  in  the  end,  the  North  and  the  South  were  equally  blood-guilty 
in  his  death.  The  Scots  had  their  pieces  of  silver,'  furthermore,  they 
washed  their  hands  of  the  deed.  The  South  was  waging  a  holy 
war  like  unto  the  wars  of  David  against  the  idolaters,  believing  a 
free  and  pious  Commonwealth  could  be  build  on  the  ruins  of  a 
Monarchy.  These  austere  warriors  were  not  mercenaries  from  across 
the  Channel,  nor  the  yokels  of  the  country,  nor  the  riff-raff  of  the 
towns.  The  parliamentarian  army  was  composed  of  men  of  d"ecent 
station  and  men  of  rank.  The  very  best  of  England  met  the  very 
best  of  Scotland  at  Marston  Moor,  and   the   descendants   of  John   de 


32  LYON    MEMORIAL 

Lyon,  Feudal  Baron  of  Fortevoit,  fought  on  either  side  in  that  battle 
of  kindred,  those  of  the  North  for  a  King  they  despised,  and  those 
of  the  South  for  public  liberty.  He  provoked  his  destiny.  Defeat  and 
flight,  imprisonment  and  death  were  written  in  crimson  letters  across 
his  policy  with  his  subjects,  Puritan  and  Covenanter.  He  held  them 
in  equal  hatred  with  no  choice  between  them.  "I  am  not  without 
hope  that  I  shall  be  able  to  draw  either  the  presbyterians  or  independ- 
ents to  me  for  the  extirpating  of  the  one  or  the  other  that  I  shall 
be  easily  King  again,'  expresses  his  attitude  to  his  people.  He  would 
not  realize  his  danger.  Moral  and  physical  cowardice  were  not  among 
his  weaknesses.  They  dared  not,  this  Round-head  Court,  that 
arraigned  their  Sovereign  in  Westminster  Hall.  He  embodied  feudal- 
ism; and  through  the  nightmare  hours  of  the  seven  days'  trial  he  sat 
in  majestic  composure,  eyeing  Bradshaw,  in  his  scarlet  robe  and  high 
hat;  eyeing  the  bewildered  spectators;  eyeing  Cromw^ell  half  expecting 
at  some  shout  of  God  Save  the  King!  the  armed  force  and  the  nervous 
populace  that  packed  the  hall  would  turn  upon  his  self-appoiuted 
judges.  Then  the  headsman's  arm  would  be  wea,ry  of  swinging  the 
axe,  and  those  that  died  for  this  treason  would  be  a  multitude. 

His  sentence  was  passed  in  the  midst  of  confusion.  "Justice! 
Execution!"  was  the  cry  that  followed  him  from  the  court  of  the 
regicides  to  Whitehall;  from  Whitehall  to  St.  James,  to  the  Banquet- 
ing House  at  Whitehall,  that  bitter  mid-winter  day. 

But  when  he  passed  through  the  window  at  the  further  end  of 
the  Banqueting  Hall  to  the  scaffold  raised  in  the  street,  no  voice  was 
lifted  in  mockery  or  malice.  Dense  masses  of  soldiery  were  far  and 
near,  the  mournful  cries  of  the  populace  in  the  distance  were  borne 
weirdly  to  him  by  the  low  wind.  And  the  great  pack  of  Puritan  war- 
riors waited  in  breathless  expectancy  while  the  King  adressel  his 
last  speech  to  Bishop  Tuxon  and  Colonel  Tomlinson,  inside  the  window. 
He  spoke  with  the  executioner.  He  put  his  flowing  hair  under  a  cap. 
He  threw  off  his  coat  and  gave  his  "George"  to  the  Bishop  saying, 
"Remember,"  a  word  of  mystery,  of  significance.  He  stood  in  profound 
meditation,  whispered  a  brief  prayer,  and  knelt  at  the  block,  the  altar 
of  expiation,  and  with  one  blow  his  royal  head  was  severed  from  his 
body.  As  if  from  the  hill  of  Golgotha  when  the  Son  of  Man  gave  up 
the  ghost,  a  simultaneous  groan  broke  from  that  vast  assembly,  from 
the  armed  Puritans  and  from  the  crowded  people  who  neither  heard 
nor   saw. 


SOME   OLD  WORLD  LYONS  33 

It  was  consummated.  And  they  wrapped  him  in  the  ermine  of  his 
rank  and  called  him  a  martyr.  Troops  of  horse  dispersed  the  crowd 
and  night  rung  down  the  curtain  on  the  greatest  drama  of  English 
history. 

Note: — Agnes  Strickland  says  in  her  "Lives  of  the  Queens  of  England," 
to  establish  the  date  of  the  execution;  "It  was  found,  withal,  that 
no  inscription  had  been  placed  on  the  royal  coffin.  One  of  the 
gentlemen  present  supplied  this  want  by  simple  but  effectual 
expedient.  A  band  of  sheet  lead  was  procured,  and  they  cut  out  of 
it  with  pen  knives  spaces  in  the  form  of  large  letters  so  that  the 
words 

CHARLES  REX 
1648 
could  be  read,  the  leaden  band  was  then  lapped  round  the  coffin." 
"Many  absurd  tales  regarding  the  disposal  of  the  corpse  of  Charles 
I.  were  circulated  among  the  enemies  of  Monarchy  in  the  course  of  the 
last  century.     These  were  all  set  at  rest  by  the  accidental  discovery 
of  the  vault  containing  his   remains  and  those  of  Henry  VIII.   and 
Jane  Seymour,  which  were  equally  forgotten.    King  George  IV.  on  the 
evening  of  the  funeral  of  his  aunt,  the  Duchess  of  Brunswick,  1813, 
went,    attended    by    Sir    Henry    Halford    and    several    Noblemen,    and 
assisted  personally  at  the  opening  of  Charles  I.'s  coffin,  when  the  corpse 
was  satisfactorily  recognized."     Narrative  by  Sir  Henry  Halford. 


SOME  NEW  WORLD  LYONS. 


Henry,  Thomas  and  Richard  Lyon,  Lyons  of  Glen  Lyon  in  Perth- 
shire, soldiers  in  Cromwell's  army,  were  on  guard  before  the  Ban- 
queting House  at  Whitehall  on  January  30th,  1648,  and  they  witnessed 
the  execution  of  Charles  I.  A  tremendous  reaction  followed  the  regi- 
cide, and  many  a  Puritan  and  Covenanter  patriot  of  the  insurgent 
army  disappeared  from  London  in  the  confusion  of  the  horror  of  the 
days  the  headless  corpse  of  the  Monarch  remained  at  St.  James 
Palace,  till  it  was  deposited  in  the  vaults  of  the  Chapel  at  Windsor. 
The  King  was  dead — long  live  the  King!  After  an  interregnum  of  a 
few  tomorrows  another  Stuart  would  come  to  the  throne,  and  the 
years  of  his  regent-ruled  minority  would  be  a  sorry  reckoning  for 
those  who  bore  arms  against  his  discrowned  and  dishonored  sire. 

The  Scots  never  acted  as  an  integral  body.  Every  clan  was  an 
independent  force  that  withdrew  at  the  discretion  of  its  chieftain. 
The  three  Lyon  hrothers  from  Glen  Lyon,  took  advantage  of  a  national 
privilege.  They  had  kinsmen  in  Middlesex  and  Norfolk  counties  who 
may  have  kept  them  in  concealment  pending  a  departure  of  a  ship  for 
the  Colonies  across  the  sea.  Over  there  they  had  kindred  in  the  new 
Fatherland  of  Freemen. 

It  is  a  rational  supposition  that  Henry,  Thomas  and  Richard 
Lyon  landed  at  New  Haven.  There  lived  John  Lyne  of  Badby,  North- 
amptonshire, England,  one  of  that  opulent  company  of  two  hundred 
fifty  persons  who  came  from  London  on  the  ship  "Hector"  January 
12th,  1638,  with  Theophilus  Eaton  and  Edward  Hopkins  as  their 
directors  and  the  Puritan  divine,  John  Davenport,  as  their  spiritual 
guide,  to  plant  an  independent  colony  on  the  Connecticut  Coast.  And 
when  the  Plantation  Covenant  was  signed,  June  4th,  1638,  John 
Lyne  affixed  his  signature  among  names  that  became  historic  when 
the  story  of  New  England  was  told.  They  were  an  anti-Monarchal 
people  strongly  in  sympathy  with  the  Parliamentarian  party.  To 
their  hospitable  protection  came  the  Regicides,  Goffe  and  Whalley, 
in  later  troublous  times.  The  young  Scots  from  Perthshire  were 
sure  of  a  welcome.  Their  news  was  waited  for  in  every  town  and 
settlement.    But  it  would  be  detailed  in  whispers  behind  barred  doors.

Other  Lyon  emigrants  had  preceded  the  three  who  stood  beneath 
the  scaffold  at  Whitehall,  when  the  second  executioner,  the  grey-beard 
mask,  lifted  the  bleeding  head  and  announced,  "This  is  the  head  of  a 
traitor!" 

Colonel  John  Lyon  of  the  Scottish  Guards  of  Henry  IV.  of 
France,  had  a  son  William  Lyon,  who  was  denounced  as  a  heretic  at 
the  time  of  the  massacre  of  St.  Bartholemew,  1572.  He  escaped  to 
Holland,  and  finally  came  to  America  with  his  three  children.*  The 
next  to  come  to  a  remote  world  were  the  orphan  sons  of  William  and 
Anne  Lyon  of  Heston,  in  Middlesex  County,  England.  John  Lyon,  the 
eldest,  aged  18  years,  came  in  the  ship  "Hopewell,"  Captain  Babb,  Feb- 
ruary 12th,  1634.  The  following  year  his  brother,  William  Lyon,  aged 
14  years,  came  in  the  "Hopewell,"  September,  1635.  John  Lyne  of  Ne\» 
Haven  from  Badby,  Northamptonshire,  England,  is  the  fourth  on  record. 
With  him  was  his  son,  Henry  Lyne  or  Lyon.  Henry  Lyon  married  Eliza- 
beth, daughter  of  Richard  Harrison  of  West  Kirby,  Cheshire,  England, 
the  same  Richard  Harrison  who  removed  from  New  Haven  to  Bran- 
ford,  and  came  with  the  Branford  Colony  to  Newark,  New  Jersey,  1666, 
as  one  of  its  founders.  Elizabeth  Harrison,  widow  of  Henry  Lyon, 
became  the  third  wife  of  Mr.  John  Morris,*  who  was  one  of  the 
signers  of  the  New  Haven  Plantation  Covenant,  and  he  was  one  of  the 
Milford  Colony  that  planted  Newark.  On  June  18th,  1668,  he  and  his 
wife  were  appointed  guardians  of  Hopestill  Lyne,  a  minor.  In  the  New 
Jersey  archives  is  a  certificate,  "that  Hopestill  Lyne,  6  to  7  years  old,, 
the  daughter  of  Henry  Lyne  of  New  Haven,  the  son  of  John  Lyne  of 
Badby,  Northamptonshire,  which  Henry  died  January  14th,  1662,  and 
had  child  Hopestill  by  his  wife  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Richard  Har- 
rison of  West  Kirby,  Cheshire,  England,  is  still  alive,  as  sworn  to  by 
Richard  Harrison,  Thomas  Johnston,  William  Meeker  and  Ellen  John- 
ston." 

Henry  Lyne  doubtless  spelled  his  name  Lyon. 

The  sixth  on  the  list  of  emigrants,  is  John  Lyon,  who  was  at 
Salem  from  1638  to  1648.  The  seventh  is  Peter  Lyon,  probably  from 
Middlesex,  England,  who  was  at  Dorchester,  as  a  proprietor,  1639,  was 
a  freeman  1649  and  died  before  1694.  Then  came  another  English 
Lyon,  Thomas  Lyon  from  Yorkshire,  who  appeared  on  Byram  River 
1640,  antedating  the  advent  in  that  locality  of  the  Scotch  Thomas 
Lyon  by  thirty-three  years.    (?)     The  ninth  is  Richard  Lyon  of  Cam-

bridge,  who  was  sent  from  England  by  Sir  Henry  Mildmay  as  a  tutor 
for  his  son  William,  at  Harvard,  1644.  He  was  co-adjutor  of  Presi- 
dent Demster  in  improving  the  New  England  version  of  the  Psalms. 
Another  John  Lyon  was  at  Marblehead,  1648.  In  1648  came  Henry, 
Thomas  and  Richard  Lyon,  Lyons  of  Glen  Lyon.  The  last  of  the  list  is 
George  Lyon  of  Dorchester,  1666  a  freeman,  1669.  In  1678  he  joined 
the  church  at  Milton,  Mass.  He  may  have  been  a  brother  of  Peter 
Lyon  of  Dorchester. 

There  may  be  duplications  in  the  foil  of  first-comers,  and  the 
identity  of  others  lost  in  the  mystery  of  meagre  information.  I  have 
found  no  trace  of  the  descendants  of  William  Lyon,  the  heretic  son  of 
Colonel  John  Lyon  of  the  Scottish  Guards  of  Henry  IV.  of  France. 
But  there  may  be  those  in  the  female  line  who  will  make  themselves 
known.  John  Lyon  of  Salem,  1638-48,  may  be  the  John  Lyon  of  Heston 
who  came  in  the  "Hopewell"  1635,  and  Thomas  Lyon  of  Yorkshire, 
who,  it  is  said,  was  at  Byram  Point  in  1640,  may  have  been  confused 
with  the  Thomas  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  whose  immediate  descendants 
were  so  much  in  evidence  from  the  "Liberty  of  North  Castle,"  around 
Byram  Point,  and  along  the  River  and  in  the  White  Plains,  "named 
for  the  balsam  which  grew  there."  This  asserted  early  arrival  of  the 
Lyon  family  at  either  side  of  the  Connecticut  and  New  York  line  may 
be  an  error  of  tradition. 

Baird  states  this  date  is  years  too  early.  The  late  Mr.  R.  M. 
Lush,*  a  descendant  of  Thomas  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  who  was  familiar 
with  every  foot  of  the  district  occupied  by  these  pioneers,  said  the 
claim  that  Thomas  Lyon  and  John  Banks  voyaged  to  their  new 
possessions  in  a  row  boat,  1649,  was  now  rejected  by  the  Lyon  families 
identified  with  that  locality.  A  small  water  vehicle  was  an  inadequate 
means  of  transportation  for  a  large  party.  Thomas  Lyon  had  a  wife 
and  children,  and  some  of  his  children  were  adults.  The  year  before 
the  transplanting  of  the  household,  his  daughter,  Abigail,  had  married 
John  Banks  at  Stamford,  a  wedding  that  occurred  on  April  3rd,  1672, 
for  Mr.  Lush  places  the  date  of  the  emigration  as  1673.  Perhaps, 
too,  there  were  other  families  from  Fairfield  and  from  Stamford,  a 
goodly   company   that   traveled   through   a   pleasant   land,   witff  their

papers  to  the  Westchester  Co.,  New  York,  His.  See.  but  they  have  never

of  the  collection,  and  will  be  found  in  subsequent  pages  of  the  Lyon 
Memorial. — A.   B.   L.].

chattels  and  flocks  and  herds.  He  left  considerable  estate  behind  him, 
as  he  shared  in  all  the  land  divisions  of  Fairfield  Township  after  1654. 
However,  on  Nov.  1st,  1675,  he  sold  his  home  lot  to  Daniel  Frost,  but  he 
retained  the  rest  of  his  realty.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  a  large 
land  holder  at  Fairfield  and  Greenwich,  and  he  owned  the  Mill  at 
Rye,  and  several  acres  of  land  at  White  Plains.  Both  Thomas  Lyon 
and  his  son  Thomas,  were  among  the  inhabitants  of  Rye  in  1683. 
Lyon's  Point,  a  promontory  on  the  east  side  of  Byram  River,  extending 
out  into  Long  Island  Sound,  now  a  part  of  Port  Chester,  was  named 
for  the  elder  Thomas  Lyon.  Baird,  Mead,  and  Bolton  all  agree  that 
the  Lyon  families  from  Fairfield  were  Scots,  a  belief  that  has  never 
been  questioned  by  the  descendants  of  Thomas,  Richard,  and  Henry 
Lyon,  the  emigrants. 

The  will  of  Thomas  Lyon  is  dated  Dec.  6th,  1689.  He  appointed 
his  wife,  Mary  Lyon,  executrix  and  his  sons,  John  and  Samuel  execu- 
tors of  his  estate.  John,  the  eldest  son,  as  if  by  the  right  of  primo- 
geniture, was  given  a  double  portion  of  the  estate,  the  Mill  at  Rye,  and 
several  acres  of  land  at  White  Plains.  Thomas^  was  given  the  home  lot 
on  the  Byram  River,  other  lands  and  the  weaver's  loom.  Samuel 
received  several  pieces  of  land  at  Greenwich,  Joseph  received  his 
father's  dwelling  house,  barn  and  home  lot  on  the  northward  part  of 
the  orchard,  and  a  pasture  on  the  eastward  side  of  a  big  highway 
that  goes  into  the  Neck,  all  his  rights  and  privileges  in  all  divided 
and  undivided  lands  at  Greenwich,  Rye,  and  Fairfield.  His  five  daugh- 
ters, Mary,  Abigail,  Elizabeth,  Deborah  and  Sarah,  were  given  portions 
in  money.  He  also  remembered  his  grandson,  Thomas,  son  of  John 
Lyon.§ 

John  Lyon,  son  of  Thomas,^  increased  his  estate  at  Rye.  On  Feb. 
27th,  1698-9,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Proprietors  of  the  town,  it  was 
agreed  "that  we  doe  impower  the  aforesaid  men  (Hecaliah  Brown, 
Deliverance  Brown,  John  Merritt,  Robert  Bloomer  and  John  Stock- 
ham)  to  bargain  with  and  sell  unto  John  Lyon  a  certain  tract  of  land 
lying  up  Byram  River,  if  they  shall  see  good  and  convenient  soe  to 
doe,"  and  to  John  Lyon  was  confirmed  "a  parcel  of  land  lying  against 
the  Mill  Creek  between  the  cartway  down  into  the  Neck  and  the  Mill 
Creek  bounded  up  the  said  Creek  by  John  Hoit's  meddow  and  to  run

down  the  said  Creek  till  it  comes  to  John  Boyd's  meddow  provided 
the  said  John  Lyon  doe  not  praidice  the  cartway  into  the  Neck,  nor 
the  way  to  the  Mill,  neither  shall  hee  hinder  any  parson  from  settin 
up  thare  field  fence  if  they  have  occasion."  Another  record  that 
conecrns  John  Lyon  is  dated  Rye,  Sept.  20th,  1697.  "At  a  towne  meet- 
ing Capt.  Theall,  John  Horton,  Joseph  Purdy,  Hecaliah  Brown,  John 
Lyon,  Thomas  Merrit,  and  Isaac  Denman,  are  chosen  as  a  Commity 
for  the  Management  and  carrying  on  of  the  worke  of  building  a  meet- 
ing house  for  the  town  of  Ry,  and  also  for  the  appointing  of  a  place 
where  it  shall  set,  and  the  above  meeting  house  shall  not  acsed  above 
thirty   square   feet." 

The  seating  space  of  this  place  of  worship  speaks  for  the  size 
of  the  congregation,  which  doubtless  comprised  every  family  in  the 
settlement. 

The  undivided  White  Plains  Purchase  was  under  the  watchful 
protection  of  the  men  of  Rye.  In  April,  1699,  "John  Lyon  and  Isaac 
Denman  were  chosen  to  laye  out  a  road  to  White  Plains,  beginning  at 
the  head  of  Capt.  Theall's  land  and  so  to  run  to  the  caseaway 
(causeway)   brook."     On  the  17th  of  that  month  it  is  on  record  that, 

"The  town  hath  past  an  act  that  the  Rode  shall  continue Up  to 

the  White  Playnes,  where  John  Lyon  and  Isaac  Denman  have  marked 
It  out,  and  the  said  road  shall  be  3  rods  in  breadth." 

John  Lyon  was  living  at  Greenwich  in  1710.  He  had  a  son 
Thomas,  who  was  mentioned  in  the  will  of  his  grandfather,  Thomas 
Lyon,  Sen.,  and  a  son  John  Jr.,  who  married  the  widow,  had  a  mill 
on  Blind  Brook  Creek,  1719.  This  was  the  grist  mill  mentioned  in 
the  Royal  Patent  for  Budd's  Neck  (Rye).  The  patent  was  subse- 
quently divided  among  the  following  proprietors:  James  Gadney,  102 
acres;  Daniel  Purdy,  drummer  of  Rye,  40  acres;  John  Carpenter,  a 
portion  joining  Mamaroneck  River;  Mr.  William  Browness  of  Rye,  2 
acres;  that  portion  called  the  gusset  to  Jos.  Ogden;  a  second  of  30 
acres  to  Joseph  Lyon;  Daniel  Purdy,  3  acres;  Monmouth  Hart,  15  acres; 
James  Wood,  5  acres;  Archibald  Tilford,  18  acres;  the  residue  to  John 
Budd. 

John  Lyon  was  the  ancestor  of  the  Lyons  of  North  Castle.  Among 
the  North  Castle  Lyons  was  Capt.  Roger  Lyon  of  the  Westchester 
Militia,  and  Capt.  Gilbert  Lyon,  of  the  Continental  Army. 

Richard  Lyon,  emigrant  and  soldier  in  Cromwell's  army,  from 
Glen  Lyon  in  Perthshire,  Scotland,  appeared  at  Faidfleld,  Conn.,  as  early 


SOME   NEW    WORLD   LYONS  39 

as  1648,  the  year  of  the  regicide.  His  house  and  home  lot  of  2  acres, 
was  recorded  Jan.,  1653.  He  was  made  freeman  1664,  the  year  that 
his  brother  Henry  returned  to  Milford.  In  1673,  the  year  that  his 
brother  Thomas  went  to  Byram  River,  he  received  5  acres  of  land 
at  Barlow  Plains  and  sixteen  and  a  half  acres  on  the  Rocks  was 
granted  to  him  for  a  building  lot,  bounded  N.  W.  and  N.  B.  by  the 
highway.  Five  years  later  he  died,  the  first  of  the  three  brothers  to 
go  to  another  afar  New  World,  a  World  Celestial,  none  of  the  three 
destined  ever  to  return  to  their  "ain  countrie."  From  the  tenor  of  his 
will,  dated  April  12th,  1678,  it  is  surmised  that  Margaret  Lyon  was  his 
second  wife,  and  that  he  had  two  sets  of  children,  Moses,  Richard* 
(a  minor),  William,  and  Hester  forming  one  group;  and  Joseph  and 
Samuel  (both  minors),  forming  another.  It  would  appear  that  he  had 
little  faith  in  the  staying  qualities  of  Margaret's  grief,  when  he  dis- 
criminated against  her  by  giving  her  only  a  widowhood  tenure  in  his 
estate.  She  must  have  been  young  and  comely,  and  to  leave  her  a 
fee  simple  portion  was  making  a  wedding  gift  to  her  second  husband. 
However,  there  is  no  record  at  Fairfield  to  disclose  that  she  relin- 
quished her  dower  to  assume  another  name.  To  son  Moses  he  gave  one- 
third  of  the  length  of  the  homeward  side  of  his  land  at  Pequonock, 
one-fifth  the  length  of  the  long  lot  on  the  S.  W.  side  of  the  lands,  his 
gun,  his  rapier,  his  biggest  pewter  platter,  and  confirmed  lands  already 
given  to  this  son. 

Richard^  when  of  age,  was  to  have  one-third  of  the  Pequonock 
land,  150  acres  of  the  length  of  the  long  lot  East  of  Moses'  part,  and 
other  lands;  William  received  one-third  of  the  land  at  Pequonock,  one- 
fifth  of  the  length  of  the  long  lot  East  of  Richard^'s  share,  other 
lands,  his  long  gun,  back  sword  and  belt.  (This  is  another  evidence 
that  in  Colonial  wills  children  are  not  mentioned  in  sequence  of  birth). 
To  his  wife,  Margaret  Lyon,  Richard^  gave  £60,  his  house  and  home 
lot,  while  she  remained  unmarried,  and  the  use  of  Joseph's  and  Sam- 
uel's land  during  their  minority.  Samuel  and  Joseph  were  to  have 
the  homestead  when  they  came  of  age  and  one-fifth  of  the  long  lot 
was  to  be  divided  between  them.  Hester,  the  eldest  daughter,  wife  of 
Nathaniel  Perry,  received  £i,  and  her  husband  and  her  son  Joseph 
Perry,  were  to  have  £2  in  carting  and  plowing.  Three  minor  daughters, 
Betty,  Hannah,  and  Abigail,  were  to  have  ii  each  when  they  came 
of  age.  A  cousin,  Mary  Fitch,  was  remembered  with  a  gift  of  £7. 
And  each  portion  of  his  estate  was  entailed  on  the  survivors,  if  any 
child  died.

Richard  had  been  at  Fairfield  twenty-seven  years,  and  was  prob- 
ably born  1623. 

Moses^  son  of  Richard'  Lyon,  died  before  1696.     He  had  a  wife 

Mary  .     The  baptism  of  no  child  of  his  appears  on  the  Fairfield 

Parish  records. 

Richard^  son  of  Richard'  Lyon,  had  Samuel,  Ebenezer  and  Sarah 
baptized  April  5th,  1696;  Daniel,  Oct.  3rd,  1699;  Nathan,  Feb.  13th, 
1703,  and  Jonathan,  June  1st,  1708. 

William^  son  of  Richard'  Lyon,  had  Nathaniel,  baptized  Sept.  9th, 
1694;  William^  Feb.  16th,  1698;  Benjamin,  Sept.  8th,  1700.  Eunice, 
baptized  Sept.  1st,  1776,  and  Tabitha,  Jan.  22d,  1720,  were  probably 
children  of  William.^ 

SamueP,  son  of  Richard'  Lyon,  of  Fairfield,  and  Greenfield  Hill, 
had  a  wife,  Susanna.  He  had  Samuel,  James,  John  and  Margaret 
baptized  Mar.  12th,  1704;  Abigail,  May  12th,  1706;  Ephraim,  Sept.  27th, 
1708;  Anne,  Aug.  6th,  1710;  Jeremiah,  April,  1713. 

Joseph,^  son  of  Richard'  Lyon,  had  wife  Mary,  nee  Jackson.  He 
had  Joseph,  baptized  July  28th,  1695;  David,  June  27th,  1697.  This 
family  settled  at  Pequonock,  Greenfield  Hill,  and  Green  Farms. 

Ephraim'  Lyon,  baptized  Sept.  27th,  1708,  son  of  Samuel  Lyon  and 
grandson  of  Richard'  Lyon,  had  a  son  Ephraim,  born  1737,  who  was 
a  soldier  in  the  War  of  Independence.  Later  this  second  Ephraim* 
was  a  lawyer  in  the  town  of  Ashford,  Conn.  He  married  Esther 
Bennett,  and  died  1798.  Among  the  nine  children  of  Ephraim  and 
Esther  Lyon  was  Amasa  Lyon,  born  Nov.  19th,  1771,  died  April  11th, 
1842.  He  married  Keziah  Knowlton  and  among  their  nine  children  was 
Nathaniel  Lyon  (General  Nathaniel  Lyon),  born  July  14th,  1818,  who 
died  at  the  battle  of  Wilson's  Creek,  Missouri,  Aug.  10th,  1861.* 


*Dr.  Woodward,  in  his  Life  of  General  Lyon,  states  that  Ephraim 
Lyon  of  Ashford  was  the  third  Ephraim  in  lineal  descent,  but  does  not 
trace  his  lineage  more  definitely,  although  he  states  that  he  was  of  Scotch 
descent.  He  served  May  5  to  Nov.  1,  1758,  under  Capt.  Jedediah  Fay,  of 
Ashford,  in  the  French  and  Indian  war.  He  married  in  Ashford  in  1762; 
wife  Esther  Bennett:  the  births  of  his  nine  children  are  recorded  in  Ash- 
ford, indicating-  continuous  residence  there  from  1763  to  1784,  and  he  died 
there  1798.  There  were  living  in  Ashford  descendants  of  William  Lyon,  of 
Roxbury;  it  is  natural  to  suppose  that  Ephraim  was  also  of  that  family, 
and  this  the  Woodstock  Lyons  firmly  believe.  It  is  hardly  possible  that 
the  Ephraim  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  wife  Ann  Adams,  appointed  Lieutenant  In 
a  company  of  militia  in  North  Fairfield  in  May.  1774  (Conn.  Colonial  Rec), 
and  who  was  a  militia  captain,  called  out  in  the  New  Haven  alarm  July, 
1779,  was  the  Ephraim  of  Ashford. — A.  B.  L.

SOME  NEW   WORLD  LYONS  41 

During  the  American  Civil  War,  Sidney  S.  Lyon,  Major  of  Engi- 
neers, the  father  of  the  writer,  made  the  acquaintance  of  Gen. 
Nathaniel  Lyon.  Their  name  called  for  genealogical  exchanges,  and 
kinship  was  established.  Each  had  the  identical  tradition,  viz: 
Three  brothers  Lyons  of  Glen  Lyon  in  Perthshire,  Scotland,  at  the  time 
of  the  Civil  War  in  England  were  soldiers  in  Cromwell's  army.  The 
day  of  the  execution  of  Charles  I.  these  three  were  on  guard  at  the 
scaffold  before  the  Banqueting  House  at  Whitehall  on  Jan.  30th,  1648, 
and  witnessed  the  regicide.  Immediately  after  the  execution  they  fled 
to  the  Colonies.  One  brother  settled  in  Conncticut,  one  went  to  New 
York  and  the  third  removed  to  New  Jersey.  Dr.  Woodward,  who 
some  years  ago  wrote  the  "Life  of  Gen.  Nathaniel  Lyon,"  must  have 
obtained  from  a  brother  or  a  sister  of  the  dead  soldier  that  the 
Ashford  Lyon  family  was  descended  from  Scottish  ancestry.  A  be- 
lief is  entertained  that  Thomas,  Richard  and  Henry  Lyon  descended 
in  a  direct  line  from  the  Master  of  Glamis.  Douglas's  Peerage  gives 
but  one  son  of  Sir  Thomas  Lyon,  John  Lyon  of  Auldbar,  who  served 
as  heir  Aug.  6th,  1608,  and  died  without  issue.  He  may  have  had  sons 
and  grandsons  of  whom  no  record  is  preserved,  soldiers  who  were 
slain  in  the  Civil  War  or  fled  into  life-time  exile  beyond  the  sea. 
But  there  were  other  branches  of  the  Lyon  family  of  Scotland. 

When  John  Lyon,  eighth  Lord  Glamis  made  an  entail  of  his 
estates  of  Glamis,  Towndyce,  and  Baky  in  Forfarshire;  Cullen,  Butter- 
gask,  Longforgard  and  Inchture  in  Perthshire;  Bellelvic,  Ardendracht, 
CoUistown,  Coustertown  and  Drumgowen  in  Aberdeenshire,  besides 
himself  and  the  male  heirs  of  his  body,  he  gave  those  eligible  through 
lineage,  as  Thomas  Lyon,  his  brother;  John  Lyon  of  Haltown  of  Esse; 
James  Lyon  of  Easter  Ogill;  John  Lyon  of  Culwalogy,  and  the  male 
heirs  of  their  bodies  respectively,  which  failing,  to  his  own  nearest 
heirs,  male,  whatsoever  bearing  the  name  and  arms  of  Lyon,  by 
Charter  dated  23rd  of  April,  1567.  This  was  but  eighty-one  years 
before  Thomas,  Richard  and  Henry  Lyon  appeared  in  Connecticut  in 
1648.  They  belonged  to  one  of  these  flve  families  descended  from  John 
de  Lyon,  Feudal  Baron  of  Fortevoit,  but  the  name  of  their  Scottish 
ancestor  is  lost  out  of  tradition.  But  such  research  as  has  gone  into 
the  compilation  of  the  "Lyon  Memorial"  may  disclose  the  names  that 
will  connect  the  New  World  Lyons  of  New  England,  New  York  and 
New  Jersey,  with  the  Old  World  Lyons  of  England  and  Scotland. 

To  return  to  the  third  of  the  Lyon  brothers  from  Glen  Lyon,

In  1639  a  company  of  religious  disputants,  a  split-off  from 
Wethersfield  Church,  joined  with  a  few  families  from  other  places, 
fifty-four  souls  in  all,  bought  a  tract  of  land  down  on  the  coast  of 
Long  Island  Sound,  and  planted  Milford.  Thomas  Tibabls,  who, 
tradition  says,  led  the  party  through  the  Connecticut  wilderness, 
selected  a  favorable  site,  and  the  new  settlement  was  destined  to 
become  a  sea-port.  Ships,  after  a  long  ocean  voyage  came  up  the 
Sound  and  dropped  anchor  in  the  safe  harbor  below  the  Mill  dam,  to 
land  home-seekers  and  supplies,  and  after  a  time  a  ship  industry 
added  to  the  prosperity  of  the  hamlet,  and  sloops  were  built  for  the 
long-shore  traffic. 

It  is  not  positively  known  just  who  were  the  first  comers  at 
Wepowang.  Lambert's  "History  of  New  Haven  County"  gives  a  list 
of  Milford  Planters,  with  numbers  of  home  lots  attached  said  to 
have  been  made  Nov.  29,  1639.  There  are  sixty-six  names  on  this  list, 
but  there  are  no  records  at  Milford  to  bear  out  the  impression  this 
would  give  that  the  company  from  Wethersfield  and  neighborhood 
settlements  was  several  hundred  strong.  An  unmarried  man  was  a 
suspicious  stranger  and  the  annual  baby  did  more  for  the  Connecticut 
census  than  the  emigrant  additions  to  the  population.  Of  the  fifty-four 
souls  that  trudged  through  the  wilderness  to  the  new  purchase,  two- 
thirds  of  the  foot-tired  travelers  were  women  and  children.

Lambert's  list  was  certainly  made  from  the  town  plat  drawn  at  a 
subsequent  period.  The  men  that  bought  Wepowang  and  took  posses- 
sion of  their  purchase  in  August,  were  not  keeping  a  Town  Book  in 
November.  Cabin-building,  stockade-building  and  how  to  provide  for 
the  nearing  winter  were  the  only  matters  that  engaged  these  work- 
weary  folk  in  an  Indian  land. 

The  original  records  have  been  sacredly  preserved,  and  the  present 
Town  Book  is  an  accurate  transcription  from  the  worn,  time-browned 
records  begun  in  1649,  which  is  the  earliest  date  shown  on  any  Milford 
document,  outside  of  the  Church  records,  a  positive  proof  that  a 
Town  Book  was  a  long-felt  want  before  a  book  appropriate  for  this 
purpose  was  obtained. 

Newark  could  not  procure  a  book  to  record  lands  and  town 
expenses  for  several  years  after  the  Passiac  settlement  was  planted, 
which  was  fully  thirty  years  after  the  first  Wepowang  cabin  was  under 
roof.  The  cost  was  great,  and  money  scarce  and  these  London-bound 
volumes  were  not  to  be  had  by  every  hamlet  within  a  month's  journey 
of  Boston. 

Someone  may  have  had  an  Ink-horn,  geese  were  common  fowl,  and 
quills  were  the  pens  of  long  ago,  but  the  fly-leaf  of  a  Bible  was  per- 
haps the  only  bit  of  paper  at  hand  to  serve  as  a  register  of  mar- 
riages, births  and  deaths.     Each  man  stepped  off  his  own  town  lot.

SO  many  paces  to  the  acre,  and  established  his  own  lines  by  witness 
trees  till  Robert  Treat,  the  young  surveyor,  got  the  leisure  to  inspect 
imaginary  metes  and  bounds  and  drove  corner  stakes,  as  witness 
stones,  for  the  several  planters,  who  need  be  none  too  particular  if  his 
homestead  tract  contained  more  than  300  square  rods.  They  were  so 
few,  and  as  far  as  the  eye  could  reach  was  theirs.  When  William 
Fowler  built  a  grist  mill  on  the  banks  of  the  little  river  he  was 
given  thirty  acres  of  land  and  perpetual  use  of  the  stream.  And  why 
not,  in  this  miles  wide  country  that  God  had  given  to  the  chosen  of 
Israel,  just  as  he  gave  Canaan  to  the  hosts  of  Moses. 

The  General  Court,  November  24,  1640,  changed  the  name  of  the 
settlement  to  Milford,  a  befitting  designation  when  mills  were  few  and 
far  between.  Then  it  was  a  decent  supercedence  of  an  ungodly  Indian 
appellation. 

To  this  growing  community,  in  1648,  came  Henry  Lyon,  the 
youngest  of  the  three  brothers  from  Glen  Lyon.  He  was  a  young  man, 
born,  perhaps  about  1625.  When  he  came  to  die  in  1703,  he  had  minor 
children  and  his  will  excites  no  suspicion  of  approaching  senility.  A 
generous  and  cordial  welcome  must  have  been  accorded  to  the  stranger 
Scot,  a  Round-head  soldier. 

He  brought  the  verification  of  the  rumor  of  terrible  happenings  at 
home,  and  the  tales  he  told  to  his  breathless  listeners  were  tremen- 
dous National  facts  that  make  the  most  astounding  pages  in  English 
history. 

Robert  Treat,  the  chief  amongst  them,  the  first  town  clerk,  the 
first  Justice  of  the  Peace,  was  doubtless  the  foremost  interrogator. 
The  vital  question  was  the  supremacy  of  the  Parliament  over  the 
Colonies.  Nature,  as  a  birthright,  had  given  this  man  the  qualifica- 
tions of  a  soldier  and  a  statesman,  which  he  proved  when  he  led  the 
Milford  militia  at  the  battle  of  Bloody  Brook,  and  as  Governor  of 
Connecticut,  when  Sir  Edmund  Andros  essayed  to  wrest  from  the 
Province  the  charter,  which  Wadsworth  saved,  under  the  cover  of 
darkness,  and  concealed  in  the  historic  oak. 

He  had  neither  name  nor  fame  when  Henry  Lyon  reviewed  the 
recent  past  and  impending  possibilities.  The  spirit  of  civil  inde- 
pendence was  the  soul  of  Puritanism.  The  Power  that  created  the 
heaven  and  the  earth,  and  divided  the  waters  that  were  under  the 
firmament,  had  placed  a  raging  sea  between  a  monarchal  despotism 
and  those  who  were  capable  of  self-government.  The  Great  I  Am 
was  their  liege  Lord,  and  the  Bible  their  Magna  Charta.    Hope  looked 


SOME    NEW    WORLD   LYONS  _  45 

for  a  riddance  of  King-supremacy  and  King-oppression.  Their  head- 
ship was  a  governor  who  should  proceed  from  their  midst,  provided 
out  of  all  the  people.  The  throne  was  toppled  and  the  crown  broken 
asunder.  Their  hearts  beat  time  to  the  measures  of  Miriam's  song, 
and  the  song  of  Deborah.  They  were  out  of  bondage,  and  Sisera  had 
perished! 

Cromwell  and  Hampden  were  the  heroes  of  heroes  to  these 
democratic,  theocratic  folk  of  Milford.  But  there  were  minor  heroes, 
units  in  the  tremendous  sum  of  Puritan  effort  and  Puritan  achieve- 
ment. Here  was  one  who  had  stood  below  the  scaffold  when  the  Stuart 
tyrant  paid  the  debt  of  his  sins  against  the  people.  So  they  bade  the 
young  man  to  stay  with  them,  to  share  all  their  rights  and  privileges, 
to  build  himself  a  house,  and  to  bring  up  a  family.  The  Town  Book 
shows  "That  Henry  Lyon  hath  for  his  home  lott  three  acres,  be  it 
more  or  less,  bounded  with  a  highway  west,  the  comon  east,  John 
Stream s's  south,  Thomas  Hines'  north,"  and  that  "Henry  Lyon  hath 
two  acres  of  meadow,  bee  it  more  or  less,  lying  in  the  Calves  Pen 
Meadow,  bounded  with  the  comon  north  and  west,  with  John  Stream's 
east,  and  Thomas  Hines'  south." 

The  first  mention  of  Henry  Lyon  at  Milford  is  in  the  records  of 
the  First  Church.  Among  "Persons  added  to  the  church,  Feb.  24th, 
1649,"  was  Henry  Lyon.  This  was  during  the  ministry  of  the  Rev. 
Peter  Prudden,  who  was  ordained  pastor  April  18th,  1640,  and  con- 
tinued in  that  office  till  his  death  in  July,  1656.  It  was  a  twelvemonth 
between  the  flight  from  London  an'd  this  admission  to  Milford  Church. 
Church  fellowship  was  a  requisite  qualification  for  a  person  who 
desired  to  be  Free  Planter.  But  it  was  the  age  of  Old  Testament 
religion,  when  not  to  be  a  member  in  good  standing  meant  social 
ostracism.  And  Henry  Lyon  kept  the  faith  from  the  day  he  entered 
Milford  meeting  house  in  1649  till  he  entered  into  everlasting  rest  at 
Newark,  1703. 

He  built  a  home  on  the  land  set  out  to  him  by  the  Proprietors' 
Committee,  for  he  not  only  retained  his  "home  lott,"  beyond  the 
required  two  years,  but  other  estate  was  partitioned  to  him: 
"Henry  Lyon  hath  for  his  Second  Division  of  Land  three  acres  and  a 
halfe,  and  for  his  halfe  Division  of  Land  one  acre  and  three  roods,  and 
to  Equall  it  to  other  Land  one  Rood  and  twelve  pole,  in  all  five  acres 
and  a  halfe,  and  twelve  pole,  bee  it  more  or  less,  lying  on  bare  hill 
bounded  with  a  highway  Bast,  with  John  Streams'  North,  with  the 
Comon    West,    with   Thomas    Hines'    South.    Also   for    satisfaction    to 


46  LYON    MEMORIAL 

Equall  his  meadow,  he  hath  halfe  an  acre,  be  it  more  or  less,  lying  in 
the  Calves  Pen  Meadow — bounded  with  a  creek  north,  and  west  with 
the  Comon,  and  Thomas  Hines'  east,  with  Richard  Piatt's  south."  (Note 
this  halfe  acre  of  meadow  and  twelve  pole  of  upland  on  bare  hill  is 
not  to  be  charged  with  rates). 

As  with  the  home  lot,  there  is  no  date  to  show  when  Henry  Lyon 
became  owner  of  these  additional  acres  lying  on  the  bare  hill,  too 
poor  to  be  charged  with  rates.  His  sojourn  at  Milford  was  so  short  he 
had  no  prominence  in  its  public  affairs,  therefore  it  is  difficult  to  out- 
line his  course  in  the  little  seaport,  the  very  world's  end  to  a  soldier 
and  an  exile  in  a  land  of  exiles.  There  must  have  been  bright  and 
handsome  girls  among  the  daughters  of  the  Milford  planters,  and  the 
bachelor  Scott  could  have  found  a  wife,  as  was  expected  of  him, 
if  he  had  gone  a-wooing.  Fairfield  was  not  far  off,  and  it  had  other 
attractions  besides  being  the  place  of  in-dwelling  of  Richard  Lyon — 
attractions  that  dimmed  the  eyes  of  Henry  Lyon  to  the  graces  of  the 
Milford  damsels,  and  dulled  his  ears  to  the  sweetness  of  their  singing, 
at  the  wheel  and  at  the  loom. 

To  that  plantation,  about  1650,  came  Mr.  William  Bateman.  He 
had  been  in  the  colonies  for  some  years,  probably  came  in  the  fleet 
with  Winthrop  in  1630.  It  is  said  that  he  was  entitled  to  a  coat  of 
arms.  At  Boston  he  took  the  oath,  and  was  made  freeman  on  May 
18th,  1631.  Seven  years  later  he  was  at  Charlestown,  and  may  have 
removed  to  Chelmsford  before  coming  to  Fairfield.  Mr.  Bateman  had 
a  daughter  Elizabeth,  who  must  have  been  born  after  her  parents 
left  England.  When  Henry  Lyon  went  to  visit  his  brother  he  met 
the  Bateman  family,  and  in  May  of  1652  he  married  Elizabeth  Bate- 
man. On  the  4th  of  May  of  that  year  he  was  granted  a  homestead 
and  home  lot  at  Fairfield.  It  is  not  probable  that  he  took  his  young 
wife  to  Milford  to  live  in  the  log  cabin  on  home  lot  number  26  in 
the  Calves  Meadow  at  the  foot  of  the  bare  hill. 

On  May  28th,  1654,  he  was  dismissed  from  Milford  Church  to 
Fairfield  Church,  thus  severing  his  connection  with  his  first  home  in 
America;  a  Milford  planter  for  so  brief  a  time  he  left  no  record  of 
his  name  there  but  his  admittance  to  the  church,  February  24th,  1649, 
the  description  of  lands  he  received,  and  his  dismissal  to  Fairfield 
Church,  May  28th,  1654.  His  brothers,  Thomas  and  Richard  Lyon, 
are  mentioned  in  connection  with  the  last  record.  Henry  Lyon  is 
the  only  Lyon  who  lived  at  Milford  previous  to  the  emigration  to 
New  Jersey  in  1666. 


SOME   NEW    WORLD   LYONS  47 

In  addition  to  the  home  lot  southwest  of  Sealey's  Neck,  Henry 
Lyon  acquired  other  property  at  Fairfield.  February  4th,  1654,  he 
purchased  of  William  Bateman  a  home  lot  and  dwelling  house,  lying 
northeast  of  the  New  Town  Square.  Five  or  six  children  were  bom  to 
him  in  the  house  southwest  of  Sealey's  Neck  and  in  the  house  near 
the  New  Town  Square.  In  the  latter  house  his  father-in-law  must 
have  died,  a  widowed  man  who  lived  with  his  only  daughter.  William 
Bateman,  in  his  will,  dated  March  24th,  1656,  admitted  to  probate 
October  20th,  1658,  says  in  part:  "That  for  what  estate  shall  be  left 
after  my  decease  The  one-half  I  bequeath  unto  my  son,  Thomas  Bate- 
man, now  of  Concord,  And  the  other  half  that  Doth  remayn  I  give  unto 
my  Son-in-law,  Henry  Lyon,  except  five  pounds  which  I  give  Unto 
my  grandchild,  Joseph  Middlebrooke,  to  be  payd  when  he  cometh  to 
eighteen  years  of  age.  And  in  case  the  seyd  Joseph  Middlebrooke 
Shall  Dye  before  he  come  to  the  Sayd  Age,  then  my  Will  is  that  the 
sayd  five  pounds  Shall  be  equally  Divided  between  my  sayd  sonn 
Thomas  and  Henry. 

"And  further  my  will  is  that  my  Sayd  Sonn  Henry  Lyon  shall  be 
my  executor  of  this  my  last  will  and  testament." 

This  document  gives  proof  of  the  esteem  and  confidence  Henry 
Lyon  inspired  in  the  father  of  his  wife. 

There  is  no  baptismal  record  of  any  child  of  Henry  Lyon  and 
Elizabeth  Bateman  in  their  old  Connecticut  home.  When  Fairfield 
was  burned  by  the  British  in  1779  many  pages  of  Fairfield  history 
were  effaced  forever.  The  names  of  the  children  of  Richard  Lyon's 
sons,  and  the  children  of  Thomas  Lyon's  son,  John  Lyon,  appear  on 
the  Church  Book,  the  earliest  date  of  a  Lyon  baptism  being  that  of 
Nathaniel  Lyon,  September  9th,  1694,  a  son  of  William  Lyon  and  a 
grandson  of  Richard  Lyon. 

Elizabeth  Bateman,  wife  of  Henry  Lyon,  was  not  admitted  to  Mil- 
ford  Church,  and  her  eldest  son,  Thomas  Lyon,  was  not  christened  by 
the  Rev.  Peter  Prudden.  Her  first  and  last  sojourn  there,  if  she  was 
ever  there  at  all,  was  during  the  preparation  for  the  removal  to  New 
Jersey.  The  little  ships  that  carried  the  Passaic  Pilgrims  may  have 
anchored  at  different  points  along  the  Long  Island  Sound  to  pick  up 
families  with  their  goods  and  their  cattle. 

For  eighteen  years  Henry  Lyon  had  lived  in  Connecticut,  four 
or  five  years  at  Milford  and  thirteen  or  fourteen  years  at  Fairfield. 
Treat  may  have  talked  him  into  making  a  change  with  the  other 
prognostic  planters  of  New  Haven  Colony,  incensed  by  the  absorption 


48  LYON    MEMORIAL 

of  their  lesser  commonwealth  by  the  stronger  colony.  It  was  an  almost 
desperate  undertaking.  A  transplanted  people  did  not  always  prosper. 
They  were  leaving  known  vexations  and  trials  for  unknown  troubles 
and  perils.  Sadness  and  uncertainty  made  a  raven's  nest  in  the  hearts 
of  the  home-seekers.  First  one  black  thought,  then  another,  croaked 
a  lament  or  a  foreboding.  Home  was  the  dear  habitation  they  had 
forsaken  for  a  shelter  of  logs  that  were  yet  to  be  hewn.  They  were 
leaving  beloved  ones  for  a  life-long  absence.  Every  new  settlement 
was  a  place  of  graves.  The  heroism  of  political  conviction  sustained 
the  men.  But  the  women  and  children  wondered  how  one  King  couI3 
differ  from  another,  stilly  complaining  to  themselves  of  the  robbery 
committed  against  them  in  this  separation  from  kindred  and  friends 
and  in  the  loss  of  their  own  familiar  dwelling.  And  the  salt  waves 
mocked  these  helpless  creatures  of  unuttered  mourning,  of  little  under- 
standing of  Human  Progress  in  the  Divine  Scheme. 


HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK 


Cromwell's  death  was  calamitous  to  the  peace  of  mind  of  the 
people  of  the  colonies.  Charles  I.  was  too  harassed  with  home  troubles 
for  a  harsh  and  arbitrary  supervision  of  his  trans-Atlantic  subjects, 
and  the  Lord  Protector  was  too  wise  in  his  government  to  disturb  the 
communal  rule  in  the  Puritan  Settlements  over  sea.  The  accession 
of  Charles  II.  brought  dismay  to  every  town  and  plantation  in  New 
England.  Long  ago  the  loyalty  of  the  absentee  English,  Scotch,  and 
Welshmen  had  ceased  to  be  a  subservient  habit  of  necessity.  Their 
children  had  never  been  taught  to  serve  and  reverence  any  king  but 
Jehovah  God.  A  locust-cloud  blackened  their  horizon.  Nothing  but 
the  direst  tribulation  was  to  be  expected  from  a  sovereign  whose 
memory  of  the  regicide  was  attended  with  a  meditated  avengement 
of  the  murder  of  his  royal  father,  to  be  visited  upon  all  connected 
with  the  crime,  directly  or  indirectly,  and  upon  their  children  and 
grandchildren.  They  knew  their  own  helplessness.  A  strenuous  con- 
science makes  no  compromises.  Most  reluctantly  these  aggressive 
republicans,  in  1661,  acknowledged  the  Stuart  "to  be  the  lawful  king 
of  Great  Britain,  France  and  Ireland,  and  all  other  territories  thereto 
belonging."  But  it  was  traitorous  submission.  When  a  price  was 
set  upon  the  heads  of  Goffe  and  Whalley,  New  Haven  and  Milford 
received  the  Roundhead  Generals  as  their  very  own,  when  Edward 
Whalley  was  Cromwell's  cousin  and  Hampden's  cousin,  and  William 
Goffe's  wife,  Whalley's  daughter,  was  Cromwell's  kinswoman.  A 
migratory  impulse  beset  the  apprehensive  planters,  and  measures  were 
taken  to  find  a  new  home.  But  a  secret  negotiation  with  the  Dutch 
authorities  ended  without  results.  This  was  resumed  in  1663,  after 
Governor  John  Winthrop,  Jr.,  in  1662,  through  personal  influence,  had 
obtained  a  Royal  Charter  for  the  consolidation  of  the  two  colonies  in 
Connecticut,  without  the  knowledge  and  consent  of  New  Haven,  Mil- 
ford,  Branford,  Guilford  and  Stamford.  These  towns  were  in  a  fer- 
ment. Milford,  in  the  end,  advised  by  Robert  Treat,  accepted  an 
inevitable  where  every  male  was  a  freeman,  in  the  church  or  out  of  it. 
Branford  would  have  "neither  part  nor  lot"  in  these  unrighteous  con- 
ditions. 


50  LYON    MEMORIAL 

This  year,  1665,  Philip  Carteret  arrived  from  England  in  the  ship 
"Philip"  to  take  possession  of  certain  lands  transferred  by  the  Duke  of 
York  to  Lords  Berkeley  and  Carteret.  Previous  to  this  time,  a  company 
from  Long  Island  had  received  a  grant  from  Governor  Nicholls  of 
New  York  for  a  tract  beyond  Achter  Col  (a  stretch  of  country  back  of 
the  bay  and  south  of  Manhattan  Island),  and  four  families  had  set- 
tled at  what  is  now  the  City  of  Elizabeth.  The  Englishman  had  come 
to  stay,  to  develop  an  ambition  of  building  up  a  petty  kingdom  of  his 
own.  Emigrants  were  desired  to  dispossess  the  savages  and  to  people 
the  fairest  acreage  on  earth,  and  persuasive  agents  were  sent  to  the 
New  England  Colonies  with  certain  "concessions"  bound  to  entice  the 
New  Haven  Colony  Congregationalists.  Milford  saw  an  answer-to- 
prayer  opportunity  for  relief,  and  a  committee,  headed  by  Treat,  went 
down  to  New  Jersey  on  a  tour  of  inspection.  Several  sites  were  con- 
sidered. But  after  an  interview  with  Carteret,  the  site  on  the  Passaic 
was  selected,  and  the  committee  went  home  to  report  of  the  fine  grass 
lands  along  the  river,  and  of  the  pine  forest  between  the  Passaic  and 
the  Hackensack*  . 

In  the  spring  of  1666  several  small  vessels,  bearing  the  first  little 
band  of  Passaic  Pilgrims,  set  sail  from  Milford  harbor  below  Fowler's 
Mill  for  a  new  world  to  establish  a  lasting  theocracy.  They  weathered 
the  Hell  Gate  in  safety,  passed  through  New  York  Bay  and  Kill  Van 
Kull,  and  entered  the  Passaic  River,  hope-elated  by  the  sight  of  the 
"rich  meadow  land  and  the  timber  on  the  hills,"  eager  to  land  their 
chattels  and  their  kine  and  begin  life  anew  under  free  and  happy  con- 
ditions. But  it  was  not  that  day  that  Lieut.  Samuel  Swaine's  daughter, 
Elizabeth,  set  foot  on  Jersey  soil,  the  first  woman  colonist  to  leave  the 
ship. 

Under  the  "concessions"  the  lands  were  to  be  taken  up  by  war- 
rants from  the  Governor.  This  was  a  clear  title,  if  Treat  had  chosen 
to  think  so,  as  red  men's  immemorial  rights  to  planting  grounds  and 
hunting  grounds  were  seldom  respected.  He  must  have  talked  of  a 
quit-claim  from  the  aboriginal  owners,  for  Carteret  gave  the  Puritan 
of  exact  conscience  a  letter  to  the  Sachem  which  was  supposed  would 
give  peaceable  and  immediate  possession  to  the  tract.  The  paleface 
intruders  were  warned  off  by  hostile  demonstrations,  and  made  a  hur- 
ried retreat  to  their  ships  without  attempting  to  parley  with  the  In- 
dians.    A  messenger  was  sent  to  the  Governor,  and  Carteret  sent  Sam

Edsal  up  from  Bergen  Neck  to  interpret  at  a  pow-pow  and  arrange  a 
second  purchase  of  the  lands,  if  Treat  and  his  company  chose  to  pay 
twice  for  their  plantation.  The  Captain  and  several  of  the  Milford 
men  went  up  the  Hackensack  for  a  conference  with  the  dusky  pro- 
prietors. 

Treat  left  an  account  of  the  transaction:  "One  Perro  laid  claim  to 
the  said  Passaic  lands  which  is  now  called  Newark,  and  the  result  of 
our  treaty  was  that  we  obtained  of  a  body  of  said  Indians  to  give  us 
a  meeting  at  Passaic,  and  soon  after  they  came,  all  the  proprietors,  viz., 
Perro  and  his  kindred  with  the  Sagamores  that  were  able  to  travel — 
Oraton  being  very  old,  but  approved  of  Perro's  acting,  and  then  we 
acted  by  the  advice,  order  and  approbation  of  the  said  Governor  (who 
was  troubled  for  our  sakes),  and  also  our  interpreters,  the  said 
Governor  approving  of  them  [one  John  Capteen,  a  Dutchman,  and 
Samuel  Edsal]  and  was  willing  and  approved  that  we  should  purchase 
a  Tract  of  Land  for  a  Township." 

The  following  is  the  Bill  of  Sale: 

"July  11,  1667.  Wee  the  Indians  Wapamuk,  Wamesane,  Peter,  Cap- 
tamin,  etc.,  doe  sell,  alienate,  make  over  and  confirm  all  our  Rights, 
Titles  and  Interest  of  us,  our  heirs  and  successors  forever,  unto  the 
said  Lands  to  Mr.  Obediah  Bruen,  Mr.  Samuel  Kichell,  Michael  Tomp- 
kins, John  Brown  and  Robert  Denison,  townsmen  and  agents  for  the 
English  Inhabitants  of  Passayak,  to  have,  hold  and  dispose  of  without 
claim,  Let  or  Molestation  from  ourselves." 

For  this  land,  which  extended  to  the  Orange  Mountains,  the 
settlers  from  Connecticut  agreed  to  give  "50  double  hands  of  powder, 
100  bars  of  lead,  20  axes,  20  coats,  10  guns,  20  pistols,  10  kettles,  10 
swords,  4  blankets,  4  barrels  of  beere,  10  paire  of  breetches,  50  knives, 
20  bowes,  850  Fathoms  of  Wampum,  2  ankors  of  Licquers  or  something 
equivalent,  and  3  trooper's  coats." 

Gold  and  silver  they  had  none.  In  a  traffic  of  exchange  of  articles 
the  "red  devils"  got  so  many  weapons  and  so  much  ammunition  for  so 
many  acres  of  meadow,  woods  and  uplands.  While  the  negotiation 
was  in  progress  with  the  deliberate  tribes,  the  first  town  meeting  of 
Newark  was  held  on  board  one  of  the  small  ships  anchored  in  the  har- 
bor. When  the  Milford  men  met  together  with  the  agents  sent  from 
Guilford  and  Branford,  to  ask  on  behalf  of  their  undertakers  and 
selves  with  reference  to  a  township  or  allotments,  "It  was  agreed 
that  the  Connecticut  emigrants  would  form  one  town,  if  consent  was 
received,  between  this  and  the  last  of  October  next  issueing,  according 


52  LYON    MEMORIAL 

to  fundamentals  mutually  agreed  upon;  do  desire  to  be  of  one  heart 
and  consent,  through  God's  blessing  with  one  hand  they  may  endeavor 
to  carry  on  spiritual  concernment,  also  civil  and  town  affairs."  At  a 
meeting  in  Branford  the  two  fundamental  agreements  were  framed 
and  signed.  Its  authors  may  have  been  the  Rev,  Abraham  Pierson  and 
Mr.  Jasper  Crane,  one  the  minister  and  the  other  the  captain  of  the 
Branford  Colonists,  "able  men,  men  of  truth" — a  document  where  one 
may  read  between  lines  of  the  strong  and  godly  stuff  our  theocratic 
forebears  were  made  of: 

October  30th,  1666. 

"At  a  meeting  touching  the  Intended  design  of  many  of  the  Inhabi- 
tants of  Branford,  the  following  was  subscribed: 

1st.  That  none  shall  be  admitted  freemen  or  free  Bur-

Churches,  nor  shall  any  but  such  be  chosen  to  magistracy  or  to  carry 
on  any  part  of  said  Civil  Judiciature,  or  as  deputies  or  assistants  to 
have  power  to  Vote  in  establishing  Laws  and  making  and  Repealing

shall  any  But  such  Church  Members  have  any  Vote  in  any  such  elec-

"2nd.  We  shall  with  Care  and  Diligence  provide  for  the  mainte- 
nance of  the  purity  of  Religion  professed  in  the  Congregational 
Churches." 

Whereunto  subscribed  the   Inhabitants   from   Branford:

and  I  will  make  them  rulers  over  you."     Deut.  i.,   13. 

"Moreover,  thou  shalt  provide  out  of  all  the  people  able  men,  such 
as  fear  God,  men  of  truth,  hating  covetousness;  and  place  such  over  them

thee:  thou  mayest  not  set  a  stranger  over  thee,  which  is  not  thy  brother." 
Deut.  xvii,   15.

54  LYON    MEMORIAL 

It  is  doubtful  if  Henry  Lyon  Bfought  his  family  with  him  the 
first  year.  He  was  in  Connecticut  in  the  spring  of  1667,  either  win- 
tered at  Fairfield  or  Milford,  or  returned  to  bring  his  wife  and  chil- 
dren to  their  new  home  in  New  Jersey,  for  "At  a  gathering  at  Derby 
to  divide  the  land,  John  Brownell  sold  his  right  to  Thomas  Hone,  who 
sold  his  right  to  Henry  Lyon,  who  finally  sold  to  Henry  Botsford, 
whose  name  and  right  appears  on  the  first  map  of  ownership  of  home 
lot  of  11/2  acres  and  upland  of  4  acres." 

Lads  of  fourteen  were  included  with  adult  males  in  land  distribu- 
tions. Young  Thomas  Lyon's  name  appears  among  the  Branford  men 
as  receiving  home  lot  23,  and  young  Samuel  Lyon's  name  appears 
among  the  Milford  men  as  receiving  home  lot  39. 

Property  was  in  abundance,  and  childhood  was  sadly  abbreviated 
in  a  place  where  there  was  no  school.  In  winter  the  children  were 
mother-taught  or  father-taught  to  read  the  Bible.  It  was  the  only 
book  possessed  by  most  families,  and  to  be  familiar  with  the  Laws 
and  the  Prophets,  the  Gospels  and  the  Epistles  was  a  liberal  educa- 
tion. Play-time  was  a  sinful  waste  of  daylight  to  these  religion-awed, 
task-weary  boys  and  girls. 

Some  of  the  planters  were  college-bred  men  (their  minister,  Rev. 
Abraham  Pierson,  was  a  graduate  of  Trinity  College,  Cambridge),  and 
but  few  of  them  were  untaught.  They  realized  the  importance  of 
having  their  children,  their  sons  especially,  instructed  in  the  rudi- 
ments. But  after  the  stipend  of  eighty  pounds  was  collected  for  the 
pastor  there  was  no  money  to  pay  a  schoolmaster,  if  these  work-tired 
lads  could  be  spared  from  farm  labor. 

A  sense  of  insecurity  stayed  with  the  planters,  with  their  wives 
and  children.  The  meeting-house  was  fortified  against  a  sudden 
attack,  and  the  men  in  the  fields  and  the  clearing  went  armed,  and 
the  "look-out"  was  a  child  that  kept  watch  through  the  sowing  and 
tilling  and  reaping,  and  while  the  fuel  was  cut  for  winter.  They 
meant  to  keep  faith  with  the  tribes,  and  by  fair  dealing  earned  them- 
selves the  after  title  of  "The  Doers  of  Justice."  But  constant  nerve- 
trying,  heart-trying  vigilance  went  with  their  kindness  to  the  savages. 
Intrusion  could  not  be  repulsed  nor  trespass  punished. 

Carteret  looked  with  disapproving  suspicion  on  this  friendly  atti- 
tude with  the  Indians  and  remembered  the  ridiculous  Bill  of  Sale. 
In  buying  the  land  outright  from  its  natural  owners,  these  Puritan 
planters  might  decline  to  pay  the  half  penny  per  acre  on  their  patents, 
which  fell  due  on  March  25th.     When  the  time  neared,  a  letter  was 


HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK  65 

sent  to  the  Newarkers  reminding  tliem  of  their  quit-rents  to  the  pro- 
prietors. After  an  exciting  town  meeting,  a  dignified  reply  was 
returned  to  the  Governor,  "That  they  do  hold  and  possess  their  Lands 
and  Rights  in  the  said  Town,  both  Civil  and  Divine  Rights  as  by 
their  Legall  purchase  and  Articles  do  shew.  As  for  the  payment  of 
the  half  penny  per  acre  for  all  our  allotted  Lands,  according  to  our 
Articles  and  Interpretation  of  them,  you  assuring  them  to  us.  We  are 
ready  when  the  time  comes  to  perform  our  Duty  to  the  Lords  and 
their  assigns." 

It  was  decided  at  the  town  meeting  "that  Henry  Lyon  and  others 
should  take  and  receive  every  Man's  Just  Share  and  proportion  of 
Wheat  for  his  Land — the  summer  wheat  at  4s.  per  Bus'l  and  the  Winter 
wheat  at  5s.,  according  to  the  order  and  Time  Perfixed  to  them  to  Bring 
it  to  Johnson's  House  before  the  day  be  over,  or  if  they  fail  they  are  to 
double  the  quantity,  which  Corn  the  said  Lyon  and  Johnson  is  tomor- 
row to  Carry  to  Elizabeth  Town,  and  made  a  tender  Thereof  to  the 
Governor  upon  the  account  of  the  Lords  Proprietors  rent  for  the  Land 
we  make  use  of." 

Henry  Lyon,  Newark's  first  Treasurer,  held  the  office  for  five  con- 
secutive years,  from  1668  to  1673.  He  was  custodian  of  the  public 
funds.  It  fell  to  him  and  Thomas  Johnson,  the  first  town  constable, 
to  receive  the  tax  wheat  of  the  planters,  to  measure  each  man's  pro- 
portion as  the  sacks  were  emptied  and  to  convey  the  wains  to  Elizabeth 
Town  and  deliver  the  grain  to  the  Governor.  There  was  exhilaration 
in  the  triumph  of  the  first  payment.  But  the  public-spirit  promptitude 
of  the  planters  diminished  considerably  by  the  March  of  1670,  when 
at  the  Town  Meeting  preceding  the  20th  of  that  month,  "It  was  agreed 
that  Henry  Lyon  and  Thos.  Johnson  shall  goe  to  our  Governor  in 
Behalf  of  the  Town,  make  a  Tender  to  Him  in  Good  Wheat  of  their 
Half  Penny  pr.  Acre  to  Him  for  the  Lords  Proprietors,  in  like  manner 
as  they  did  the  Last  Years.  Appointed  in  Case  that  he  will  Accept  the 
same — that  then  they  are  fully  empowered  to  give  Notice  by  the 
Warners  of  the  Town,  for  every  one  to  Bring  in  his  proportion  of 
Corn  to  the  Constable's  House  the  Morning  of  the  Day  appointed  by 
7  or  8  O'clk.  That  they  may  send  it  to  their  Governor,  and  take  a 
discharge  of  Him  for  the  same;  and  they  are  at  least  to  Bring  as 
Much  as  they  did  Last  Year,  and  More  if  they  see  Cause.*" 

Under  existing  conditions  Henry  Lyon  was  a  public  slave  rather 
than  a  public  servant.  Money  was  not  expected  in  the  settlement  of 
debts  and  taxes.     Produce  stood  for  pence  and  pounds.     To  keep  the 


66  LYON    MEMORIAL 

records  of  the  receipts  and  expenditures  of  a  town  of  weights  and 
measures  was  drudgery  of  mind  and  drudgery  of  body  for  the  Town 
Treasurer. 

There  were  two  rates  in  use,  the  minister's  rate  and  the  town 
rate.  Mr.  Pierson  was  to  receive  eighty  pounds  a  year  for  his  stipend, 
and  a  hundred  and  sixty  pounds  were  required  for  the  town  expenses. 
One  of  the  duties  of  the  Constable  was  "to  Collect  and  Gather  up  the 
Town  Rate."  Every  planter  was  assessed  according  to  the  value  of 
his  estate.  The  expense  of  bringing  their  pastor  from  Connecticut  had 
to  be  met,  and  Mr.  Pierson's  "living"  assured.  Then  there  was  the 
rate  "for  the  Payment  of  Every  Man's  Share  of  the  Purchase." 
Where  the  coin  was  to  come  from  must  have  perplexed  every  house- 
holder in  Newark,  abridged  his  sleep  and  made  the  discipline  of  denial 
the  rule  in  every  family  there. 

Not  one  penny  of  the  levy  was  for  a  salary  for  the  treasurer  or  for 
any  other  town  officer.  Then,  besides  a  lack  of  ad'equate  emolument, 
there  was  the  tyrannic  supervision  and  comment  of  the  town  fathers, 
trying  to  the  Scotch  temper  and  Scotch  pride  of  Henry  Lyon. 

However,  he  was  vested  with  a  peculiar  authority  which  made  him 
one  of  the  foremost  at  Newark.  On  September  10th,  1668,  "It  was 
agreed  that  Henry  Lyon  and  others  shall  have  the  sole  Power  to 
hear  every  Man's  reason  for  his  or  their  Absence,  Late  Coming  or  dis- 
orderly departing  or  withdrawing  from  any  of  our  Town  Meetings, 
having  Legall  Warning  thereto;  and  thereupon  to  Aquit  them,  or 
Return  the  names  of  them  that  they  release  not,  but  are  by  the  order 
signed  unto  the  Constable  or  such  officer  as  the  Town  shall  appoint 
to  receive  them,  for  the  use  of  the  said  Town."  To  preserve  propriety 
of  speech  and  manner  in  the  plantation  assembly,  and  to  visit  personal 
wrath  and  personal  penalty  on  the  obstreperous  Newark  taxpayers 
gave  the  Treasurer  a  degree  of  despotic  control  over  his  fellow  planters. 

In  the  third  year  of  the  New  Jersey  theocracy  Mr.  Camfield  and 
Thomas  Johnson  were  appointed  as  a  "Committee  to  be  adjoined  to  the 
Treasurer  to  heare  and  determine  what  and  how  much  shall  pass 
upon  account  of  Men's  demands  for  this  year  past.  And  it  is  to  be 
agreed  that  all  accounts  before  that  hath  not  been  allowed  already  shall 
not  be  admitted  to  account  Hence  Forth."  Later  another  committee  was 
formed  "to  make  inquiry  into  the  old  Treasurer's  Accounts,  and  what- 
they  find  to  rectify  if  they  can." 

"If  any  one  stood  indebted  to  the  Town  in  the  Treasurer's  Book" 
beyond  a  certain  number  of  days,  that  official  was  expected  to  inspect 


HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK  67 

the  smoke-house  and  barn  of  the  delinquent  planter  to  see  if  "he  hath 
neither  Meat  nor  Corn  to  pay."  If  there  was  neither  bacon  nor  grain 
in  store,  then  "the  Treasurer  should  engage  him  in  a  Way  to  pay  their 
Debt  with  Timber — but  if  they  will  not  pay  the  reckon,  then  the 
Constable  shall  come  with  a  Warrant  to  distract  it." 

For  five  years  Henry  Lyon  bore  the  heat  and  burden  of  the  day  as 
a  public  duty  to  the  plantation  he  had  helped  to  plant.  He  carried  out 
the  agreements  of  the  Town  Meeting  with  intelligent  thoroughness,  and 
his  honesty  was  exact  to  the  last  kernel  of  the  tax  wheat.  It  was  irk- 
some and  arduous  where  there  were  planters  who  got  behind-hand  with 
their  grain,  and  planters  who  had  to  be  constable-compelled  to  bring 
in  their  proper  proportion  of  the  taxes.  Such  Newarkers  as  Mr.  Jasper 
Crane,  Thomas  Huntington,  Lieut.  Samuel  Swaine,  Nathaniel  Wheeler, 
Jonathan  Sargeant,  were  prompt  in  their  several  tax  obligations.  But 
there  were  family-burdened  widows,  farmers  who  made  but  a  half 
crop,  and  shiftless  farmers  who  were  many  bushels  short  year  after 
year.  Furthermore,  there  were  planters  who  must  have  disputed  with 
the  Treasurer  over  a  shrinkage  in  quantity  of  their  asserted  full  pro- 
portion of  the  rate,  for  in  1671  every  man  in  the  Passaic  Plantation 
was  compelled  by  a  town  meeting  edict  to  bring  his  half  bushel  measure 
to  Henry  Lyon  and  Joseph  Waters  "to  have  them  Tryed  and  Sealed 
when  made  fit  with  Mr.  Crane's,  which  for  the  present  is  the  Standard — 
they  (Henry  Lyon  and  Joseph  Waters)  shall  have  two  pence  per  piece 
for  sealing  with  the  Small  Town  Brand,  or  N." 

This  two  pence  was  a  poor  compensation  for  wearisome  days  devoted 
to  the  common  good  of  the  community.  Hard  feeling  had  to  be  borne 
from  those  who  would  not  pay  and  from  those  who  could  not  pay.  It 
took  character  to  sustain  a  man  under  such  difficult  circumstances,  the 
nicest  tact  or  a  dominant  sternness.  At  any  rate,  Henry  Lyon  was 
chosen  for  his  fitness  from  among  the  colonists  of  New  Haven,  Milford 
and  Branford,  for  the  same  reason  that  he  was  made  Keeper  of  the 
Ordinary.  In  the  latter  position,  none  but  the  most  approved  in  any 
settlement  was  appointed  to  this  authoritative   responsibility. 

A  mill  and  a  church  were  built  as  indispensable  edifices,  one  almost 
as  necessary  for  the  well-being  of  these  Puritan  folk  as  the  other. 
As  they  increased  in  numbers  and  their  limits  extended,  Robert  Treat, 
who  was  their  first  Town  Clerk,  was  directed  to  make  an  official  record 
of  all  incorporated  lands.  The  Treasurer  was  ordered  "to  do  his  best 
endeavor  to  procure  a  Book  for  the  Records  of  the  Lands."  When 
and  where  Henry  Lyon  got  it  and  what  Newark  paid  for  it  is  lost  from

local  history,  but  if  it  took  the  best  endeavor  to  secure  it,  books  of 
this  kind  were  not  to  be  had  in  the  Province  of  New  Jersey.  Doubtless 
it  was  imported  from  "home."  At  a  Town  Meeting  July  5th,  1673,  the 
following  item  became  a  matter  of  record:  "Henry  Lyon  and  others 
are  chosen  to  agree  with  Mr.  Delevall  about  Money  to  send  a  Mes- 
senger to  England,  and  as  they  did  agree  with  him,  it  should  be 
paid  by  the  Town."  This  very  messenger  may  have  brought  over  the 
"Book  for  the  Records  of  the  Lands;"  if  not  some  other  trusty  agent 
was  dispatched  on  this  errand  by  the  Newark  government. 

The  Town  Meeting  planters  depended  on  their  Treasurer,  expecting 
the  miracle  of  whatsoever  they  required  of  him.  His  judgment  must 
have  been  of  great  value.  On  March  30th,  1668-9,  it  was  agreed  that 
"the  matter  of  Captain  Bollen's  Demands  in  his  Letters  shall  be  wholly 
referred  and  left  with  Mr.  Camfleld,  Swain,  Henry  Lyon,  and  Thomas 
Johnson,  to  act  and  do  as  they  shall  see  Cause." 

Henry  Lyon  was  Newark's  first  inn-keeper,  too.  The  strangers 
within  their  gates  were  not  all  God-fearing  men  of  peace.  A  stalwart 
presence  was  an  outward  visible  importance  for  his  second  position. 
When  it  was  recorded  in  the  January  of  1668  that  "The  Town  hath 
chosen  Henry  Lyon  to  Keep  an  Ordinary  for  the  entertainment  of  Trav- 
ellers and  Strangers,"  and  desired  him  to  prepare  for  it  as  soon  as  he 
can,  they  might  have  added  to  the  minutes  of  the  meeting  a  brief 
summary  of  his  especial  qualifications  for  dealing  with  law-defying 
new-comers  and  keeping  them  in  order. 

Hospitality  had  been  imposed  on,  or  it  had  its  limits  at  Newark. 
It  was  to  be  a  hostel  "where  they  might  be  entertained  so  that  it 
would  not  be  necessary  for  the  people  to  put  themselves  to  the  incon- 
venience of  providing  for  the  Comfort  of  those  who  were  prospecting 
for  a  place  for  Settlement." 

Mistress  Elizabeth  Bateman  Lyon  must  have  sighed  over  the  cares 
thrust  upon  her.  The  sanctity  of  her  home  was  invaded  and  her  young 
children  were  deprived  of  her  watchful  attention.  But  the  helpmate 
of  pioneer  days  was  a  selfless  woman,  not  pampered  with  much  cher- 
ishing, and  her  gravestone  should  have  been  marked,  "She  hath  done 
what  she  could." 

Two  years  after  Henry  Lyon  opened  a  public  house,  the  "Town 
chose  Thomas  Johnson  to  keep  an  Ordinary  in  the  town  for  the 
entertainment  of  strangers — prohibiting  all  others  from  selling  any 
Strong  Liquors  by  Retail  under  a  gallon,  unless  in  case  of  Necessity, 
and  that  by  License  from  the  Magistrate." 


HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK  69 

It  is  certain  that  a  money-making  privilege  once  given  to  the 
Town  Treasurer  would  not  have  been  taken  away  from  him  in  favor 
of  the  Town  Constable.  Wine  may  have  been  served  as  a  table  bever- 
age, but  it  is  doubtful  if  brandy-drinking  and  rum-drinking  went  on  in 
Henry  Lyon's  house.  However,  total  abstinence  was  not  a  moral 
obligation  with  our  God-serving  ancestors,  and  there  was  no  town  ordi- 
nance against  indulging  in  intoxicating  drinks.  Mr.  Jasper  Crane,  a 
gentleman,  the  headship  of  the  Passaic  Pilgrims  from  Branford  and 
New  Haven,  Treat's  equal  in  importance  in  the  community,  the  magis- 
trate of  the  town,  destined  to  be  president  of  the  Town  Court,  and 
delegate  time  after  time  to  the  Provincial  Assembly,  was  the  next 
to  profit  by  the  sale  of  spiritous  fluids.  On  February  28th,  1672,  it 
became  a  part  of  the  Newark  records  "that  Mr.  Jasper  Crane  having 
Liquors  for  six  shillings  a  gallon,  and  one  shilling  and  six  pence  a 
Quart,  they  paying  wheat  for  it,  hath  Liberty  to  sell  Liquors  in  the 
Town  till  the  Country  Orders  alter  it."  Nothing  was  said  in  regard 
to  selling  in  small  quantities  to  be  drank  on  the  premises. 

It  is  to  be  presumed  that  the  planters  were  temperate  people,  and 
the  dram-drinking  stranger  was  brought  to  decent  moderation  by  the 
moral  discrimination  of  Henry  Lyon,  Thomas  Johnson  and  Mr.  Jasper 
Crane. 

The  contract  to  build  the  first  church  was  awarded  to  Deacon 
Warde,  Sargeant  Richard  Harrison  and  Edward  Riggs,  who  bargained 
for  the  "sum  of  seventeen  pounds  to  Build  the  same  meeting-house 
36  feet  square,  with  doors  and  windows,  and  Pine  Boards  at  the  Gable 
ends."  But  the  money  was  not  forthcoming  and  the  sacred  edifice 
was  not  begun  before  1668.  The  floor  was  not  laid  till  1670,  and  in 
1678  the  settlers  agreed  "that  the  meeting-house  should  be  seated  in 
convenient  time  for  our  Convenience  and  meeting  together  for  God's 
worship." 

Did  that  pious  congregation,  every  Lord's  Day  from  1670  to  1678, 
remain  standing  through  the  hours-long  sermon  of  Preacher  Pierson, 
the  gray-haired  fathers  and  mothers  in  Israel,  men  that  had  toiled 
without  ceasing  the  six  week  days  through,  mothers  of  nursing  babies, 
care-aged  little  ones  and  youths  and  girls  that  hacked  a  consumption 
cough,  an  irritating  interruption  from  the  text  to  the  long-deferred — 
"and  finally?" 

Maybe  Henry  Lyon's  eldest  daughter,  Mary,  who  married  John 
Ward,  Jr.,  was  one  of  these  girls  with  a  hectic  flush  on  her  fair 
cheeks,  for  her  days  were  not  long.

The  little  community  had  struggled  on  for  ten  years,  when  it  was 
voted  at  a  town  meeting  in  1676  that  "the  Town's  Men  have  Liberty 
to  see  if  they  can  find  a  competent  number  of  scholars,  and  accommo- 
dations for  a  schoolmaster  within  our  Town."  Those  to  whom  this 
important  business  was  entrusted  were  Samuel  Kitchell,  John  Ward, 
Samuel  Plum,  Thomas  Huntington,  Joseph  Waters,  Azariah  Crane  and 
William  Camp.  One  of  this  colonial  school  board  was  an  ancestor  of 
the  writer,  and  a  feeling  of  pride  goes  with  the  knowledge  that  Thomas 
Huntington  was  connected  with  the  first  educational  movement  in  "Our 
Towne  on  the  Passaick."  But  it  was  1677  when  the  village  fathers 
voted  that  "the  Town's  Men  have  liberty  to  compleat  the  Bargain  with 
the  School  Master.     They  knowing  the  Town's  mind." 

One  of  themselves  took  charge  of  the  school,  John  Catlin,  probably 
a  lawyer  by  profession,  for  he  was  town  attorney  for  two  years.  He 
may  have  taught  the  three  Rs.  to  pupils  of  various  ages,  in  day  classes 
and  night  classes,  till  he  and  his  wife,  Mary,  in  1684,  sold  their  home 
lot,  Number  11,  of  the  Branford  allotment,  to  Henry  Lyon,  and 
removed  to  Deerfield,  where  Mrs.  Catlin  and  her  sons,  Joseph  and  Jona- 
than, were  killed  in  the  assault  of  the  French  and  Indians,  Feb.  29th, 
1704. 

None  of  Henry  Lyon's  children  went  to  Catlin's  school  in  that 
long-disappeared  log  bam,  with  a  dirt  fioor,  to  drone  lessons  in  the 
common  sing-song  of  shy  maidens  and  bashful  lads.  Before  the  first 
term  began  the  Lyon  family  had  removed  to  Elizabeth  Town,  and 
shortly  after  the  Dutch  conquest  Henry  Lyon  took  the  oath  there,  and 
rapidly  became  one  of  the  leading  men  in  political  and  commercial 
affairs. 

November  8th,  1675,  he  was  a  member  of  the  General  Assembly. 
February  4th,  1681,  he  was  made  one  of  the  Judges  of  Small  Causes. 
February  28th,  1681,  he  became  a  member  of  the  Governor's  Council. 
August  1st,  1681,  he  was  appointed  Justice  of  the  Peace,  which  during 
the  Colonial  period  was  equivalent  to  that  of  Judge  of  the  Supreme 
Court.  December,  1682,  he  was  appointed  Commissioner  to  lay  out 
and  appoint  all  necessary  highways,  bridges,  passages,  landings  and 
ferries  for  the  County  of  Essex.  November  26th,  1684,  he  was  a 
Representative  in  the  Council  of  the  Governor.  May  1st,  1686,  his 
commission  to  the  Judgeship. 

Furthermore  he  was  one  of  the  Town  Associates  and  the  fore- 
most in  commercial  enterprises.  Scotch  thrift,  integrity  and  fore- 
eight   had    made   his    fortune.      Besides   having   ISOi/g    acres    of    land 


HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK  61 

within,  the  limits  of  Newark,  he  owned  306  acres  at  Elizabeth  Town. 
The  ancestral  habit  of  accumulating  property  was  strong  in  him. 

*His  house  and  home  lot,  containing  7  acres,  was  bounded  east 
by  Henry  Morris,  south  by  Hurr  Thompson  and  north  by  a  byway; 
also  had  16  acres  of  upland  adjoining  the  north  site  of  his  home  lot, 
with  Henry  Morris  on  the  east  and  Benjamin  Parkhurst  on  the  north; 
also  24  acres  on  the  "Long  Neck,"  a  triangle  between  Benjamin 
Price,  Sen.,  and  Isaac  Whitehead,  Sen.;  also  90  acres  of  upland  "Lying 
by  the  Lyne  of  Elizabeth  Town  and  Newark,  having  the  boggy 
meadow  on  the  east  and  unsurveyed  land,  the  highway  to  Newark  to 
go  through  it,  since  known  as  Lyon's  Farms,f  a  part  of  the  Borough  of 
Elizabethtown;  also  4  acres  of  meadow  on  the  Elizabethtown  creek; 
7  acres  of  boggy  meadow  on  the  "Cove";  18  acres  on  the  Bay,  and  20 
acres  on  the  creek,  formerly  old  John  Ogden's.  March  13th,  1677-8,  he 
purchased  Vauquellin's  house  and  grounds  for  £60.  November,  1674, 
he  purchased  of  John  Martin,  Captain  Bollen's  property.  However,  on 
May  1st,  1675,  Henry  Lyon  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  of  Elizabeth  Town, 
sold  to  the  Honorable  Philip  Carteret,  Governor  of  the  Provence  of 
New  Jersey,  for  a  consideration  of  £30,  a  dwelling  house  formerly  occu- 
pied in  tenure  of  Captain  James  Bollen. 

The  year  before  he  had  a  peculiar  transaction  with  Governor 
Carteret.  "December  8th,  1674,  Henry  Lyon  of  Elizabeth  Towne,  Prov- 
ence of  New  Jersey,  to  Governor  Philip  Carteret  of  the  same  provence: 
A  lease  for  four  years  of  2  acres  of  land  within  aforesaid  towns. 
Consideration — said  Henry  Lyon  to  receive  yearly  1,000  good  and 
merchantable  Bucks." 

A  few  years  later  we  read  that  "in  the  1699-1700  assignment  of  lots 
of  100  acres  each,  Henry  Lyon  received  No.  174,  Joseph  No.  63,  Natha- 
niel No.  95,  Benjamin  No.  84,  and  Ebenezer  No.  66." 

Life  must  have  been  easier  for  Elizabeth  Bateman  Lyon  than 
when  she  was  mistress  of  Newark's  first  Ordinary.  Servants  were  to 
be  had,  seventeenth  century  luxuries,  and  perhaps  the  London  fashions. 
She  lived   to  see  her  ambitious  husband  among  the  honored  of  the 


♦Hatfield's  "History  of  Elizabethtown,  New  Jersey." 

tSubdivisions  of  the  townships — "For  a  period  of  one  hundred  and 
twenty-eight  years  from  the  date  of  the  original  settlement  the  township 
remained  undivided,  the  town  laws  and  regulation  and  the  authority  of 
the  magistracy  extending  over  ^he  whole  area.  At  an  early  date,  however, 
various  hamlets  and  clusters  of  farm  houses  gradually  sprang  up  in 
different  localities.  The  facilities  for  navigation  and  the  attraction  of 
water  privileges  drew  quite  a  number  of  early  settlers  to  the  banks  of  the 
Rahway  River.  Another  group  of  planters,  mostly  of  one  family,  gave 
the  name  to  the  neighborhood  known  as  Lyons  Farms."

provence.  Her  older  sons  married  early — courtships,  weddings  arid 
grandchildren  were  happy  family  happenings  before  her  chair  was 
put  against  the  wall  and  the  days  went  by  without  her.  Violent  grief 
was  sinful  self-indulgence  to  the  Puritan  way  of  thinking.  The  Scotch 
are  stern-natured,  and  bear  aflBiction  with  decorous  resignation.  The 
stricken  husband  was  a  church-going  fatalist.  Foreordination  timed 
the  last  heart  beat  of  every  mortal  and  wrote  the  day  and  the  hour  with 
every  name  entered  in  the  Life  Book. 

His  second  marriage  must  have  occurred  in  1689  or  1690,  for 
Mary  and  Dorcas,  the  second  wife's  daughters,  were  minors  when  their 
father  wrote  his  will,  1702.  No  doubt  she  was  a  Newark  woman  and 
influenced  her  husband's  return  to  the  town  he  had  helped  to  found. 
It  was  going  home  when  he  returned  to  the  few  remaining  friends  of 
the  long  ago,  who  had  passed  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  their  coming 
into  the  land  the  Lord  God  had  given  to  His  people  of  the  New 
Haven  colony.  At  Elizabeth  Town  his  had  been  the  largest  subscrip- 
tion for  the  support  of  the  pastor.  Rev.  Harriman.  Nevertheless,  he 
retained  his  church  privileges  at  Newark,  for  July  24th,  1680,  some 
years  after  his  removal,  it  was  voted  "that  Henry  Lyon  hath  a  right 
to,  and  shall  have  a  seat  in  the  meeting  house,  paying  proportion, 
ably  with  his  neighbors." 

He  had  fought  the  good  fight  from  youth  to  age,  and  his  time 
was  shortening  as  a  shadow  when  the  noon  nears.  His  first-born, 
Thomas,  had  died  in  1694,  and  John  had  followed  his  elder  brother. 
Nathaniel  passed  on  in  1696.  His  fellow  pilgrims,  one  by  one,  put  out 
the  candle  of  life  to  go  to  sleep,  till  but  few  were  left  of  the  comrades 
that  climbed  the  hill  of  hope  together.  New  friends  are  but  favorite 
acquaintances.  "Loving  wife"  Mary  readily  got  her  will.  At  Newark 
there  were  others  of  the  long-gone  who  had  New  Haven,  Branford 
and  Milford  recollections  in  common,  and  who  could  exchange  mem- 
ories of  Scotland  and  England. 

Great  Britain  had  made  some  tremendous  history  since  the  three 
Lyon  brothers  took  shipping  for  the  New  World.  Cromwell  had  held 
thrall  over  the  United  Kingdom  for  nine  years.  The  General  of  the 
Puritan  hosts  had  broken  the  shackles  of  feudalism,  and  the  emancipa- 
tion of  all  humanity  had  begun  its  slow  progression  toward  liberty 
of  conscience  and  liberty  of  speech.  Charles  II.  had  flittered  away  a 
regnal  term  of  devil-delighting  tyranny  and  profligacy.  James  II.  had 
ended  in  the  banishment  and  death  of  one  who  would  be  last  of  the 
Stuart  dynasty.    William  of  Orange  and  Mary  had  gone  to  their  graves. 


HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK  63 

Killiekrankie  had  shaken  all  Scotland.  These  remarkable  epochs  had 
left  their  imprint  on  human  progress  since  the  day  those  masked  execu- 
tioners decapitated  the  King.  The  colonies  had  grown  in  numbers 
and  riches  and  promise.  There  was  easier  breathing  when  William 
and  Mary  reigned,  and  since  Anne  was  queen,  but  the  espionage  was 
felt  as  of  old.  These  colonial  yeomen  who  had  been  Roundhead 
soldiers  were  English  subjects,  and,  as  such,  discretion  became  their 
tongues.  But  in  private  their  voices  were  loosened  and  Naseby  and 
Dumbar  experiences,  and  what  they  knew  of  the  secreting  of  Goffe 
and  Whalley  was  recounted  in  excited  whispers.  It  did  not  do  to 
gossip  of  the  Great  Civil  War  and  of  the  London  culmination  of  the 
trial  and  execution  of  Charles  Stuart.  But  in  the  sanctuary  of  home, 
Thomas  and  Richard  and  Henry  Lyon  told  their  children  of  how  they 
had  been  soldiers  in  Cromwell's  army;  of  how  they  were  on  guard 
before  the  scaffold  at  Whitehall  and  witnessed  the  regicide,  and  of 
their  flight  when  the  historical  tragedy  was  consummated. 

This  impressive  tradition,  and  that  the  three  brothers  were  Lyons 
of  Glen  Lyon  in  Perthshire,  Scotland,  is  common  to  the  broad-scattered 
descendants  of  Thomas,  Richard  and  Henry  Lyon.  The  Connecticut, 
the  New  York  and  the  New  Jersey  branches  have  preserved  the 
knowledge  of  their  Scottish  origin. 

General  Nathaniel  Lyon  and  Major  Sidney  S.  Lyon,  men  of  broad 
intelligence  and  flawless  integrity,  accepted  these  traditions.  Their 
ancestors  were  Lyons  of  Glen  Lyon,  and  the  presence  of  Thomas,  Rich- 
ard and  Henry  Lyon  at  the  execution  of  Charles  L  was  made  authentic 
by  oral  transmission  from  father  to  son  in  the  three  direct  lines, 
widely  divided  by  time  and  place.  Richard  Lyon's  great-great-great- 
grandson  spoke  for  the  traditions  of  the  Fairfield  Lyons.  The  descend- 
ants of  Thomas  Lyon  of  Westchester  County,  New  York,  gave  their 
origin  as  Scottish  to  the  historians,  Baird  and  Bolton.  James  Lyon 
of  Ohio  brought  these  family  traditions  across  the  mountains  when 
he  came  from  Lyons  Farms  with  his  wife  and  children,  1791.  Pride 
of  birth  was  innate  in  his  grandson,  my  father,  a  deep-in  consciousness 
of  race  never  mentioned  save  in  some  fire-lit  talk  when  his  thoughts 
reached  back  into  the  past,  and  he  told  his  children  of  the  three  young 
Scots  from  Glen  Lyon,  and  the  part  they  played  in  the  terrible  drama 
of  1648. 

In  his  later  Newark  days,  Henry  Lyon  must  have  related  his  Old 
World  reminiscences  to  his  two  young  children  and  his  grandchildren, 
for  the  old  grow  confidential  with  the  young,  getting  sympathy  and 


64  LYON    MEMORIAL 

comprehension  from  minds  unoccupied  with  personal  act  and  personal 
purpose. 

Benjamin'  Lyon  was  ten  years  old  when  his  venerable  grandfather 
Henry  Lyon,  the  emigrant,  sicliened,  put  his  temporal  and  spiritual 
affairs  in  order,  then  died.  Benjamin'  Lyon  was  the  grandfather  of 
James'  Lyon  of  Ohio.  There  is  no  break  in  the  transmission  of  the 
tradition  that  gave  the  nationality  of  Thomas,  Richard  and  Henry 
Lyon  and  their  connection  with  the  regicide. 

Henry  Lyon  had  lived  two  separate  and  eventful  lives,  but  his 
years  were  not  much  beyond  the  allotted  time  of  man  when  Elizabeth- 
town  and  Newark  were  called  upon  to  mourn  for  one  who  had  been 
a  leader  among  them  since  the  landing  of  the  colony  from  Connecticut 
in  1666. 

Biblical  longevity  was  not  unusual  for  an  iron  constitution  that 
had  withstood  the  toil  and  troubles  of  pioneer  young  manhood.  If  he 
was  twenty-five  when  he  appeared  at  Milford  in  1648,  he  was  not 
yet  eighty  when  Elizabethtown  and  Newark  assembled  to  do  honor 
to  the  dead.  One  of  the  mighty  had  fallen.  The  long  eulogistic 
sermon  above  this  coffin,  and  the  interment  in  the  old  burying  ground 
of  the  founders  of  Newark  must  have  been  remembered  as  a  local 
happening  of  impressive  importance.  But  of  the  many  that  followed 
Robert  Treat  and  Jasper  Crane  to  plant  "our  Towne  upon  the  Pas- 
eayak"  there  is  none  whose  grave  can  be  located  but  that  of  my 
ancestor,  Nathaniel  Wheeler,  of  the  Milford  colonists,  in  the  ancient 
Presbyterian  cemetery  in  Orange.  God's  acre  at  Newark  was  "vacated," 
and  the  time-worn  stones  that  marked  the  last  resting-place  of  the  his- 
toric dead  removed  and  destroyed. 

The  "Lyon  Memorial"  will  be  a  lasting  monument  to  Henry  Lyon 
of  Milford,  Thomas  and  Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  and  their  kindred: 
William  Lyon  of  Roxbury,  Peter  Lyon  and  George  Lyon  of  Dorchester, 
and  of  every  descendant  of  these  "first-comers"  enrolled  in  this  book. 

Of  Henry  Lyon's  personality  nothing  is  known.  His  life  describes 
the  man  as  one  of  physical  and  mental  vigor,  and  one  of  physical 
and  moral  bravery.  He  was  of  "good  understanding  and  memory" 
when  he  wrote  his  will — here  given  in  full,  that  his  posterity  may  know 
him  through  his  own  words: 

"Whereas  I,  Henry  Lyon,  Senior  of  Newark,  in  ye  provence  of 
East  New  Jersey  being  weak  in  body  yet  of  good  understanding  and 
memory — Do  make  this  my  Last  Will  &  Testament   (hereby  making

for  Salvation  from  ye  Riches  of  his  grace  by  ye  atonement  of  Jesus

"Loving  friend,  Mr.  John  Treat,"  was  the  son  of  the  Captain  of 
the  Milford  Company.  In  1672,  Robert  Treat  returned  to  New  England, 
but  was  not  dismissed  from  the  Church  of  Christ  at  Newark  to  Milford 
Church  till  1675.  May  11th,  1665,  he  was  commissioned  Captain  of  the 
Milford  Militia,  and  in  King  Philip's  War,  was  Commander-in-Chief  of 
the  Connecticut  Troops. 

In  1676  he  was  Deputy  Governor,  and  in  1683  he  was  Governor 
of  Connecticut  and  served  in  that  capacity  for  fifteen  years.  His  son, 
John  Treat,  Esq.,  was  "a  Justice  to  Keep  the  Peace  in  the  County 
of  Essex." 

In  1709  he  was  Representative  of  Essex  in  the  Assembly  when  one 
qualification  was  1,000  acres  of  land  and  £500  in  personal  estate.

LYONS  FARMS. 


Midway  between  the  cities  of  Elizabeth  and  Newark,  the  two  oldest 
English  settlements  in  New  Jersey,  lies  a  small  hamlet  of  nearly  equal 
age,  which  for  more  than  two  hundred  years  has  had 

"a  name  of  its  own 

and  a  certain  use  in  the  world  no  doubt" 

Lyons  Farms,  so  named  from  Henry  Lyon  and  his  sons,  whose 
plantations,  acquired  by  initial  associate  rights  or  by  early  purchase, 
covered  the  greater  part  of  this  area.  In  early  history,  in  manners 
and  customs  and  civic  life,  Lyons  Farms  simply  formed  a  part  of  the 
larger  communities  on  whose  overlapping  borders  it  was  situate. 
Having  access  to  the  sea  and  the  world  of  trade  only  through  the 
towns,  it  has  remained  true  to  its  name,  an  agricultural  community, 
scarcely  doubling  its  population,  while  year  after  year  its  sons  have 
gone  forth,  some  into  the  cities,  more  as  pioneers  and  up-builders  of 
the  West.  Bonds,  Meekers,  and  Lyons  were  the  first  settlers.  They 
and  their  fellows  were  of  Puritan  stock;  men  of  sturdy  character, 
of  strict  principles,  broadly  intelligent,  and  God-fearing.  Their  com- 
munal ideal  was  a  theocracy,  administered  by  the  democratic  town- 
meeting.  Lyons  Farms  was  a  bit  of  transplanted  New  England,  and 
long   remained   true  to   type. 

The  tract  East  of  the  trap  ridge  of  the  Orange  Mt.  is  a  drift  deposit 
of  shale,  gravel,  sand  and  yellow  clay.  Towards  Elizabeth  the  land 
slopes  gradually  to  sea-level,  forming  "the  plain."  Nearer  Newark 
the  drop  is  more  abrupt  with  steep,  rounded  hills,  with  gullies  and 
depressions,  some  having  no  outlet,  all  formed  by  the  swirling  waters 
of  a  geologic  era.  In  some  of  these  pockets  the  vegetable  matter  accu- 
mulating through  the  ages  has  found  the  right  conditions  for  con- 
version into  peat.  Lyons  Farms  has  several  acres  of  peat  bog  or  "turf 
meadow,"  mostly  on  a  Lyon  tract.  In  the  first  part  of  last  century, 
apprehensive  of  the  exhaustion  of  the  wood  supply,  the  people  of  this 
section  dug  turf,  burning  this  rather  smoky  fuel  in  their  "ten  plate 
stoves."  Eastward  of  Lyons  Farms  lay  the  great  marsh,  a  mile  long, 
known  from  earliest  times  as  the  Cove,  with  its  sluggish  stream,  the 


70  LYON    MEMORIAL 

upper  waters  of  Bound  Creek  (all  now  converted  into  a  beautiful  lake) ; 
a  neck  of  low  upland,  and  then  the  broad  salt  marshes  to  Newark 
Bay, 

On  Sunday,  Sept,  6th,  1609,  a  boat's  crew  from  Henry  Hudson's 
Half  Moon,  anchored  at  Sandy  Hook,  passed  through  the  Narrows  and 
thence  West  through  the  kill  into  the  broad  but  shallow  waters  of 
Newark  Bay,  manifestly  not  the  sought  for  passage  to  the  Pacific. 
From  the  forest  girt  and  sedgy  shores  came  "very  sweet  smells," 
uncontaminate  of  factory  smoke  and  oil  refineries;  and  westward 
across  the  wide  stretch  of  salt  meadows  their  eyes  rested  on  the  fair 
hills  of  Newark  and  Lyons  Farms. 

Fifty  years  passed  before  a  settlement  was  made  in  this  Achter 
Kol,  rear  bay  region.  Negotiations  between  certain  English  of  Long 
Island  and  the  Dutch  were  held  up  by  Gov.  Stuyvesant's  unwilling- 
ness to  concede  the  full  measure  of  local  self-government  demanded. 
When  in  1664  the  English  supplanted  the  Dutch,  Gov.  Nicolls  favored 
the  enterprise,  giving  all  desired  assurances.  At  once  representatives 
of  the  new  colony  met  certain  Indian  sagamores  on  Staten  Island, 
and  purchased  from  them  a  large  rectangular  tract,  bounded  South  by 
the  Raritan  River,  East  by  the  Sound  and  the  Bay  as  far  North  as 
"the  first  river  which  setts  westward,*"  and  to  run  inland  for  a  dis- 
tance double  the  length  of  its  East  or  shore  line.  Entry  was  made 
that  same  Autumn,  a  settlement  effected  the  following  year,  and  on 
Feb.  19,  1665  (i.  e.  1666  N.  S.)  we  have  an  official  list  of  65  men  taking 
the  formal  allegiance  oath  at  Elizabeth,  out  of  the  "80  Associates"  con- 
templated. 

The  original  house-lots,  of  six  acres  each,  formed  a  cluster  on 
either  side  of  the  Elizabeth  River  at  the  head  of  tide  and  of  sloop 
navigation  three  miles  from  its  mouth.  In  the  common  land  each 
Associate  held  rights  amounting  to  a  single,  a  double,  or  a  triple  share, 
«.nd  he  received  an  allotment  accordingly  when  the  successive  par- 
titions were  made.  The  house  lots  stopped  at  Brackett's  Brook  (now 
vanished),  where  Salem  Ave.  forks  from  the  Newark  road,  the  "North 
End."  Beyond  this,  between  the  road  and  the  river  on  the  West 
the  stretch  of  level  land  was  long  held  as  a  "Common."  Further 
North,  in  the  Lyons  Farms  region  there  were  several  early  allotments. 

The  success  and  prospects  of  the  Elizabeth  Colony  at  once  led 
to  the  planting  of  a  second  and  a  third  town.  North  and  South.     The

original  settlers  were  not  grasping  of  land;  they  had  more  than  they 
needed,  and  they  were  eager  for  neighbors  in  the  wilderness,  but 
neighbors  who  should  live  in  separate  communities,  self-contained  and 
self-governing  like  themselves.  Hence  in  1666,  with  full  welcome  by 
the  Elizabeth  people  there  came  into  the  Passaic,  a  body  of  settlers, 
some  of  them  old  neighbors  and  friends,  expecting  to  take  possession 
of  the  land  on  the  basis  of  the  Elizabethtown  purchase.  The  local 
Indians  denied  any  sale.  Indian  titles  were  largely  factitious,  and  the 
original  Chiefs  had  doubtless  sold  more  than  they  had  any  power  to 
convey.  The  Newark  people  were  constrained  to  make  a  new  formal 
purchase  with  the  customary  ankers  of  rum,  lead,  gunpowder,  and 
wampum.  The  same  year  the  Elizabethtown  people  sold  the  tract 
South  of  the  Rahway  River  to  a  company  from  Massachusetts,  settling 
the  town  of  Woodbridge.  These  too  later  found  it  expedient  to  make 
further  Indian  payment  to  secure  peaceful  control  of  the  Western  part 
of  their  tract.  Indian  purchase  quieted  the  natives;  the  significant 
title  lay  in  the  confirmation  and  grant  of  the  first  large  tract  by  Gov. 
Nicolls,  acting  for  the  Duke  of  York,  the  King's  Concessionary. 

Meanwhile  the  Duke  had  already  himself  conveyed  away  the  terri- 
tory between  the  Hudson  and  the  Delaware  to  Lords  Berkeley  and 
George  Carteret,  to  be  called  henceforth  New  Jersey,  after  Carteret's 
native  isle.  In  1665,  Captain  Philip  Carteret  came  out  as  Governor, 
and  finding  an  accomplished  grant,  Indian  sale,  and  settlement,  with- 
out questioning  its  validity,  he  proceeded  to  purchase  for  himself 
Associate  rights.  The  Lords  divided  their  ownership  into  twenty-four 
"proprieties,"  which  were  soon  sub-divided  and  were  transferred  like 
stock.  Hence  there  was  a  double  claim  to  ownership, — the  source  of 
century  long  friction  and  legal  strife,  extinguished  at  last  only  by  the 
Revolution,  the  long  land  quarrel  having  had  much  to  do  with  arousing 
a  spirit  of  antagonism  and  alienation  in  this  middle  colony.  The  Propri- 
etary Government  very  soon  demanded  that  those  already  settled  should 
obtain  patents  for  their  lands  from  them,  pay  a  trifling  but  significant 
annual  quit-rent  as  fee-farmers,  and  so  relinquish  all  claim  to  further 
land-partition,  and  hereafter  purchase  of  the  Proprietors.  Wood- 
bridge  submitted  (1669),  and  Newark  with  reluctance  (1675);  Eliza- 
beth stubbornly  resisted,  took  out  patents  only  under  threats  of  con- 
fiscation (1676)  and  never  relinquished  her  claims  to  the  undivided 
lands  of  the  original  purchase.  There  was  dispute  as  to  how  far  on 
the  Bay  Elizabeth's  purchase  really  extended,  this  affecting  the  reach 
of  her  inland  claim;   dispute  also  as  to  the  position  and  direction  of 


72  LYON    MEMORIAL 

the  Elizabeth-Newark  partition  line.  The  tidal  creek,  called  by  tha 
Indians  Weequahick,  extending  Westward  to  the  upland  and  there 
issuing  from  the  Cove,  formed  a  natural  boundary;  and  ever  since 
Newark's  settlement  has  been  Bound  Creek.* 

The  Newark  people  in  their  Indian  deed  described  the  South 
bound  of  their  purchase  as  Bound  Creek  "io  f7ie  head  of  the  Gove," 
thence  West  to  the  foot  of  the  mountain,  the  point  aimed  at  being  the 
mountain  end,  a  course  nearer  Northwest.  The  description  covered 
more  than  the  Elizabeth  people  were  willing  to  concede;  in  fact,  they 
had  already  apportioned  some  land  above  such  a  line.  Accordingly 
.we  find  commissioners  appointed  from  each  town,  who  amicably  fixed 
upon  a  "little  round  hill"  nearer  the  Northern  end  of  the  Cove,  in 
line  with  the  general  course  of  Bound  Creek  in  the  meadows,  to  be 
forever  the  pillar  of  partition,  the  line  to  run  thence  Northwest  to  the 
mountain.  (May  20th,  1668).  This  "Divident  Hill,"  consecrated  by 
prayer,  we  are  told,  is  easily  identified  today;  and  on  a  strict  North- 
west line  from  it  is  now  a  road,  Lyons  Ave.,  long  ago  opened  on  the 
"line,"  which  is  mentioned  as  a  boundary  of  the  lands  on  either  side 
in  patents  of  1676.  The  position  of  the  hill  in  relation  to  the  Cove  is 
clearly  described  also  in  the  affidavit  of  an  aged  man  in  1741  (Et.  Bill). 
This  determination  of  the  line  was  duly  entered  in  the  town  Records 
(Nk.  Rec.  p.  10).  Oral  tradition  stated  that  there  was  an  understand- 
ing that  the  Elizabeth  people  should  assist  those  of  Newark  in  acquir- 
ing the  Neck  between  the  Passaic  and  Hackinsack  Rivers  as  a  species  of 
compensation.  This  project  failing,  Newark  pressed  her  original  claim 
(1675),  and  from  that  time  down  to  1754  there  are  notices  of  no  less 
than  seven  attempts  to  settle  the  boundary.  As  late  as  the  land 
partition  of  1699,  Elizabeth  disposed  of  land  adjacent  to  the  old  line 
at  the  mountain.  Newark  finally  secured  from  the  government  in 
her  town  Charter  of  1713  the  coveted  line,  starting  from  "an  oak 
tree  in  Joseph  Lyon's  field,  above  the  head  of  the  Cove."  This 
point,  later  mistakenly  associated  with  "Divident  Hill,"  is  recog- 
nized in  the  creation  of  Union  Township  out  of  Elizabeth  in  1808. 
When  Union  County  was  set  off  from  Essex  in  1857,  Essex  retained  a 
tract  East  of  the  Cove  which  was  originally  no  part  of  Newark;  while 
to  the  Westward  the  old  town  line  of  tradition  was  rehabilitated. 
The  points  assumed,  however,  whether  from  mistaken  data  or  as 
representing  some  early  compromise,  produced  a  zig-zag.    An  effort  by 


*It  may  be  here  recorded  that  In  the  early  part  of  the  last  century 
this  creek  was  navigable  for  "pettiaugers"  with  freight  quite  up  to  the 
Cove.

Essex  County  twenty  years  ago  to  rectify  the  frontier  failed,  the 
courts  confirming  the  de  facto  line  of  1857.     See  map. 

The  Lyon  tracts  lay  largely  in  and  near  this  zone  of  dispute. 
Most  of  the  lands  of  Henry  Lyon  and  his  sons  can  be  identified. 
Patient  research  could  locate  nearly  all.  The  obstacles  are  the  loss 
of  Elizabeth's  first  town  book  in  1719,  the  disappearance  of  Liber  A 
of  Essex  deeds,  and  the  fact  that  many  early  deeds  were  left  unre- 
corded. 

Henry  Lyon's  Newark  house  lot  was  between  Washington  and 
High  Streets,  North  of  Kinney;  in  Elizabeth  (1673-1700)  his  lot  was 
on  the  Newark  road  near  the  "North  End,"  and  in  that  section  he  had 
several  small  farm  tracts.  Ebenezer  had  lands  there,  as  well  as  some 
toward  Rahway.  Capt.  David  Lyon,  1745-1802,  lived  at  the  North  End. 
John,  Joseph,  and  Nathaniel  in  1683  were  living  in  Lyons  Farms. 
In  Elizabeth's  bold  partition  of  lands  in  1699-1700,  Henry,  with  his 
sons  Benjamin,  Ebenezer,  Joseph,  and  Nathaniel,  all  appear  as  Eliza- 
bethtown  Associates  and  receive  100  acres  each:  Henry,  on  the  old 
line,  West  of  Irvington;  Benjamin  on  site  of  Fanwood;  Ebenezer, 
center  of  Westfield;  Joseph,  a  mile  West  of  him;  Nathaniel,  a  mil© 
Southeast  of  Netherwood.  Besides  the  plantations  indicated  on  the 
map,  the  Lyons  had  lands  on  Clinton  Place  and  beyond  Several  tracts 
in  the  "Swamp,"  a  mile  or  two  Northwest.  The  patents  from  the 
Proprietors,  now  the  earliest  record,  are  for  the  first  tracts  of  later 
date  than  the  real  acquisition. 

Lyons  Farms  was  long  famous  for  its  apples.  An  orchard  is 
mentioned  in  Henry  Lyon's  will  (1702).  Down  to  1850  the  crops  were 
abundant  and  the  several  mills  found  ready  market  for  cider  and 
vinegar.  Latterly  on  the  original  Henry  Lyon  tract  the  Wards  have 
had  notable  success  with  pear  culture. 

Before  the  days  of  machine-made  footwear,  the  making  of  shoes 
was  carried  on  by  bodies  of  journeymen  in  small  places.  At  Lyons 
Farms,  among  others,  Benjamin'  Lyon  and  his  brother  Abraham  had 
large  shops  for  shoe  manufacture.  In  certain  gardens  today,  are  to 
be  found  the  remains  of  the  scrap  heaps,  not  wholly  decayed  after  a 
century.

Wagon  and  carriage  making  has  been  steadily  carried  on  in  a 
modest  way,  a  century  ago  by  the  Thompsons  (Lyon  descent),  and 
since  by  the  Williamsons    (mother  a  Lyon). 

In  the  days  of  stage  coach  travel,  one  of  the  chief  lines.  New 
York  to  Philadelphia  (about  1780)  oddly  had  its  headquarters  off  the 
main  road  on  a  Lyon  farm  (6)  then  occupied  by  the  proprietor,  Ichabod 
Grumman,  Jr.  There  are  traditions  of  the  fifty  horses  kept  there,  of 
his  coaches  (springless  wagons)  named  the  Swift  Sure  and  the 
Speed  Well,  and  an  old  stage  book  is  preserved.  The  starting  point 
was  at  first  Elizabeth,  reached  from  New  York  by  ferry  to  the  Point; 
later  the  route  was  from  Paulus  Hook   (Jersey  City)   via  Newark. 

The  earliest  school  at  Lyons  Farms  was  one  taught  by  Mrs. 
Hannah  (Bruen)  Grumman  on  the  same  old  place  (6).  In  1784  Joseph 
Lyon  deeded  to  trustees  the  Southeast  corner  of  the  Henry  Lyon 
plantation  (2)  for  a  school.  Here  was  built — from  one  great  boulder, 
tradition  has  it — the  Stone  School  House;  an  interesting  relic  with  its 
worn  door  step,  its  pine  desks  rudely  carved  and  stained  only  by  the 
umber  of  human  contact,  still  standing  beside  its  loftier  modern 
successor. 

"Three-story  larnin's  pop'lar  now;   I  guess 
We  thriv  ez  wal  on  jes'  two  stories  less." 

The  "Old  Red  Schoolhouse"  on  another  Lyon  tract  (at  P)  in  a 
niche  by  the  roadside,  was  more  recent,  itself  displaced  in  1873  by 
Hillside  Hall  on  another  site. 

In  church  life  the  people  of  Lyons  Farms  were  connected  with  the 
old  church  at  Elizabeth,  at  first  independent  and  later  Presbyterian; 
and  in  the  graveyard  surrounding  it,  most  of  the  early  generations 
rest.  Henry  Lyon,  in  a  list  of  1694,  is  seen  to  have  made  the  largest 
single  contribution  to  the  minister's  support,  and  his  grandson,  Joseph, 
was  long  an  honored  elder,  followed  by  his  son  Joseph. 

In  1769  a  Baptist  Society  was  formed  at  the  Farms.  Among  its 
twelve  founders  the  first  name  is  Ezekiel  Crane  (grandson  of  Joseph 
Lyon)  with  his  wife  Abigail  (daughter  of  Nath'l  Baldwin) ;  the  second 
name  Ichabod  Grumman,  the  sole  deacon  up  to  1785,  whose  deceased 
wife  had  been  Bethia,  nee  Lyon) ;  Joseph  Meeker,  and  Mary  Meeker. 
The  first  building  on  the  present  site  was  begun  in  1792. 

The  churchyard  has  not  a  few  graves,  dating  some  of  them  before 
1800.  Rev.  Peter  Bryant,  an  Englishman,  was  one  of  the  notable 
early  pastors  (1792-1807).  His  admirably  kept  church  records  furnish 
valuable  historical  material. 


LYONS   FARMS  77 

The  Presbyterian  Church  at  the  Farms  was  dedicated  in  1849. 
The  long  pastorate  of  Rev.  George  C.  Pollock,  1864-1882,  is  remembered 
with    special    affection. 

Evergreen  Cemetery,  incorporated  in  1853,  and  since  enlarged 
to  about  100  acres,  occupies  largely  Lyon  lands  (Benjamin^  and 
Moses*,  Northeast  and  Southeast) ;  a  well  kept  and  beautiful  city 
of  the  dead. 

Lyons  Farms  was  made  a  post  oflBce  in  1854;  Alexander  McKirgan 
was  the  first  Postmaster.    His  wife  was  Julia  Lyon  [Zopher^]. 

Lyons  Farms  has  some  Revolutionary  traditions:  of  a  surprise 
of  British  oflBcers  in  the  old  Meeker  house  (5) ;  of  men  who  saw  service, 
and  of  some — as  Tappan°  Lyon — who  died  in  the  prison  ship  pest 
hole.  Ichabod  Grumman,  Jr.,  was  an  enlisted  Express  Rider.  A  clear 
tradition  has  come  down  that  he  brought  from  Philadelphia  North,  the 
first  news  of  Cornwallis'  surrender,  in  mad  gallop  "riding  one  horse 
all  the  way."  The  visit  of  Lafayette  fifty  years  later  (1825)  was  long 
remembered,  his  passing  down  the  old  highway  escorted  by  the  light 
horse,  among  them  several  Lyons  Farms  men.  Old  Lyons  Farms  long 
had  its  Militia  and  its  training  days.  A  number  served  in  the  War 
of  1812;  among  them  Moses  Thompson  and  S.  R.  Winans.  Men  now 
living  can  recall  how  no  Fourth  of  July  picnic  was  complete  without 
Col.  William  Brown  on  his  prancing  horse,  in  full  uniform  aglitter 
with  brass.  In  the  Civil  War  a  dozen  men  enlisted,  among  them 
Wm.  Lyon  and  Wm.  Winans  (whose  mother  was  Mary  Lyon,  daughter 
of  David",  Samuel*). 

Lyons  Farms,  for  a  small  place,  has  had  a  creditable  number  of 
college  bred  and  professional  men:  beginning  with  Joseph  Lyon,  who 
graduated  at  Princeton  in  1763,  afterward  reading  theology;  three  min- 
isters— one.  Rev.  Lewis  Bond  (1795-1885)  for  thirty  years  a  pastor  at 
Plainfield,  New  Jersey;  more  recently,  four  physicians,  Dr.  Joseph 
Ward,  J.  E.  Winans,  J.  C.  Johnson,  Wm.  Ward;  several  college  trained 
teachers,  as  S.  R.  Winans,  Jr.,  Professor  of  Greek  at  Princeton,  Wm.  E. 
Pollison,  H.  L.  Winans,  Masters  in  important  schools.  William  and 
Joseph  Grumman  were  expert  surveyors— the  latter  an  inventor  of 
improvements  in  surveyors'  chains,  and  City  Surveyor  of  Brooklyn 
when  he  enlisted  in  the  Civil  War  to  fall  in  battle.  Chancellor  0.  S. 
Halsted  lived  his  later  life  in  Lyons  Farms.  The  village  seems  to  have 
produced  no  lawyers.  It  did  have  however  representatives  of  the  old 
time  ideal  type  of  country  Justice;  who  wrote  the  deeds  and  wills, 
settled  the  estates,  was  referee  and  arbitrator,  served  his  neighbors

iu  countless  minor  offices,  trusted  and  honored.  Such  was  Squire 
David  Lyon  (1760-1845);  and  such  his  friend  and  successor,  Squire 
Samuel  R.  Winans,  who  died  in  1887  in  his  91st  year.  He  was  twice 
in  the  Legislature,  held  many  offices,  and  settled  some  forty  estates. 
Governor  Franklin  C.  Murphy's  paternal  grandmother  was  a  daughter 
of  Benjamin^  Lyon,  born  in  Lyons  Farms  at  (6).  Rev.  James  Lyon 
should  probably  be  credited  to  Lyons  Farms:  graduated  at  Princeton 
in  1759;  poet,  musician  and  notable  preacher;  he  died  in  1794,  at 
Machias,  Me. 

Lyons  Farms  has  a  few  interesting  relics  of  the  past:  old  bound- 
aries unshifted  since  the  17th  century  surveys,  old  house  sites  and 
old  wells,  like  that  at  (6),  deep  and  cavernous,  with  a  huge  native 
stone  for  a  cap,  belonging  to  the  earliest  period.  A  Chandler  house 
preserved  as  a  relic  (7)  is  over  a  century  old;  while  the  old  Meeker 
house  (5),  still  used,  is  something  rare.  It  shows  three  parts,  one 
having  the  extended  roof  slope  on  the  North  and  low  stone  wall, 
forming  the  ancient  cool,  above-ground,  store-room;  its  original  cedar 
shingle  siding  is  weathered  thin  and  feathery;  an  excellent  type, 
among  few  remaining,  of  the  houses  built  at  the  first  settlement, 
before    1700. 

Old  Lyons  Farms  is  passing.  The  main  line  of  the  Lehigh  Rail- 
road bisects  the  village,  and  electric  tram-cars  shuttle  through  its 
ancient  highway.  Newark's  city  limits  now  come  down  to  the  County 
line.  When  ere  long  Elizabeth's  city  bounds  are  extended  North  a 
little,  the  village  will  be  swallowed  up,  and  the  historic  name,  which 
has  persisted  so  long  against  cheap  modern  substitutes  proposed,  will 
be  of  the  past.  Here  will  be  an  attractive  residence  quarter  for 
those  whose  business  is  in  the  great  metropolis.  The  place  has  had 
simple  annals,  a  clean  record,  and  has  generated  worthy  sons.  It  has 
always  had  mosquitoes,  but  tolerated  no  saloons.  Newark,  in  develop- 
ing her  magnificent  park  system  has  converted  the  old  Cove  marsh  into 
a  lake,  and  is  bringing  out  the  natural  beauties  of  the  rugged  hills  and 
glens  at  the  Cove  Eead,  once  Lyon  land. 

Possibly  some  prospered  son  of  the  name  may  some  day  here  place 
a  memorial  to  Henry  Lyon,  the  pioneer  and  patriarch  of  a  far-spread 
and  not  unworthy  race.  S.  R.  WINANS. 


AN  ANCIENT  LYON  SEAL. 

There  is  reproduced  below  the  signature  of  the  will  of  Samuel 
Winans,  Borough  of  Elizabeth,  Essex  Co.,  New  Jersey,  dated  June  13, 
1744,  interesting  to  readers  of  the  Lyon  Memorial  because  of  the 
accompanying  seal.  The  impression  is  in  red  wax,  beautifully  sharp, 
enlarged  somewhat  in  the  reproduction.  Without  question  it  is  an 
ancient  Lyon  seal.  Samuel  Winans  was  a  brother-in-law  of  Ebenezer* 
Lyon  of  Lyons  Farms.  Benjamin  Bounel,  who  seems  to  have  perma- 
nently borrowed  this  seal,  was  one  of  the  witnesses  of  Samuel  Winan's 
will.  He  wrote  wills  and  used  the  Lyon  crest  several  times.  The 
early  scrivener  stuck  on  his  own  seal,  or  any  other,  till  after  the  second 
generation,  when  paper  seals  came  in.  This  lion  rampant  may  well 
have  been  taken  from  the  earliest  recorded  Lyon  arms,  those  which 
Baron  John  exhibited  at  the  tournament  at  Duncastle  1314.  "Monsr.

HENRY  LYON. 

OF   NEWARK,   N.  J. 


Family  History  compiled  by  Sidney  Elizabeth  Lyon. 

HENRY  LYON,  one  of  the  Lyons  of  Glen  Lyon  In  Perthshire, 
Scotland,  came  to  the  Colonies  with  his  two  brothers,  Thomas  and 
Richard  Lyon,  in  1648.  These  three  Scotch  soldiers  in  Cromwell's 
army  were  on  guard  before  the  Banqueting  House  at  Whitehall,  Jan. 
31,  1648,  and  witnessed  the  execution  of  King  Charles  L  Immedi- 
ately after  the  regicide,  they  fled  to  America.  Henry  Lyon  went  to 
Milford,  Conn.,  where  he  is  first  on  record,  Feb.  24,  1649,  when  he  was 
admitted  to  Milford  Church.  He  married  in  1652,  Elizabeth,  daughter 
of  William  Bateman,  of  Fairfield,  Conn.,  and  was  granted  a  home  lot 
there.  May  28,  1654,  he  was  dismissed  from  Fairfield  to  Milford 
Church.  In  1666  he  came  to  Newarli,  N.  J.,  as  one  of  its  founders, 
with  the  Milford  Colonists. 

At  Newark  he  was  the  first  Treasurer  and  first  Keeper  of  the 
Ordinary.  In  1673-4  he  removed  to  Elizabethtown,  where  he  was  a 
large  land  owner  and  a  merchant  of  extensive  interests.  Nov.  5, 
1675,  he  was  a  Member  of  the  General  Assembly.  August  11,  1681 
he  was  appointed  Justice  of  the  Peace,  in  the  Colonial  period  equiva- 
lent to  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court.  February  4,  1861,  he  was  Judge  of 
the  Small  Causes;  February  28,  1681,  a  Member  of  the  Governor's 
Council;  December,  1682,  Commissioner;  November  26,  1684,  Repre- 
sentative in  the  Council  of  the  Governor,  etc.,  etc.  Among  his  lands 
was  100  acres  of  upland,  since  known  as  Lyons  Farms.     He  married 

a  second  wife,  Mary  — ~ ,   about  1689-90.     Returned  to  Newark, 

1696,  and  died  there  in  1703.

2.  II.  1.  THOMAS2  LYON  [Henryi]  was  born  in  Fairfield, 
Conn,  about  1652-3.  When  he  took  the  oath  at  Elizabethtown  in  1673, 
he  was  twenty  years  of  age.  On  Oct.  30,  1666,  he  signed  the  "funda- 
mental agreement"  with  the  men  of  the  Branford  Colony,  and  re- 
ceived home  lot  No.  23,  in  the  land  division  of  Newark.  In  1688-9

3.  II.  1.  MARY^'  LYON  (WARD)  [Henryi]  was  born  in  Fair- 
field, Conn,  about  1654-5,  and  died  before  1684.  She  was  the  first 
wife  of  John  Ward,  son  of  Lieut.  John  Ward,  born  at  Fairfield,  April 
10,  1649.  John  Ward,  Jr.,  came  to  Newark,  N.  J.  from  Branford  with 
his  father  in  1666.  His  second  wife  was  Abigail,  daughter  of  Samuel 
and  Elizabeth  (Wakeman)  Kitchell,  born  Aug.  10,  1661,  at  New  Haven. 
By  his  second  marriage  John  Ward  had  three  children:  I.  Jonathan; 
2.  David,  born  1686,  died  Dec.  14,  1768;  3.  Mary.  By  his  first  marriage 
he  had  a  son,  John,  to  whom  was  bequeathed  twenty  shillings  in  the 


82  HENRY  LYON  OF  NEWARK 

will  of  his  grandfather,  Henry  Lyon.  In  1669,  Henry  Lyon  deeded 
to  this  same  John  Ward,  "son  of  his  deceased  daughter,"  six  acres  of 
valuable  land  at  Lyons  Farms.  This  home  lot  Lemuel  Ward,  great- 
grandson  of  Henry  Lyon,  afterward  deeded  to  Benjamin  Coe.  The 
will  of  John  Ward  of  Newark,  New  Jersey,  dated  May  2,  1695,  pro- 
bated September  20,  1695,  mentions  wife  Abigail  (2nd  wife); 
eldest  son  John,  who  received  "the  land  where  I  live,"  etc.,  etc.,  sons 
Jonathan  and  David,  to  receive  each  "one  half  of  my  lands  at  Newark 
when  21  years  of  age,  and  daughter  Mary,  to  receive  two-thirds  of 
movable  estate  when  18  years  of  age.  Mentions  also  "father-in-law, 
Mr.  Henry  Lyon  who  had  given  land  to  my  former  wife,  which  land  I 
give  to  my  eldest  son."  "I  give  to  my  eldest  son  John  (who  evidently 
was  son  of  that  former  wife)  my  great  musket  when  he  is  of  age. 
Executrix,  "my  wife;"  overseers:  brothers,  Nathaniel  Ward  and 
Joseph  Harrison;  witnesses:  John  Curtis,  John  Browne,  Robert  Young. 

Children   of  John  and  Mary    (Lyon)   Ward: 

18.     I.     John;  b.  about  1676-7;  m  '■ and  had  a  son,   Iiemuel,  whoso 

wife,   Hannah  Ward,   administered  on  his  estate. 

4.  II.  1.  SAMUEL2  LYON  [Henryi]  was  born  about  1655-6, 
in  Fairfield,  Conn.  He  married  first  Sarah  Beach,  born  1654,  daughter 
of  Zopher  and  Sarah  (Piatt)  Beach  of  New  Haven,  Conn.  [Sarah 
Piatt  was  daughter  of  Deacon  Richard  Piatt  of  Milford.]  Samuel 
Lyon  married  second  Hannah,  daughter  of  Thomas  and  Mary  (Harri- 
son) Pierson.  [Mary  Harrison  was  daughter  of  Richard  Harrison, 
who  was  from  West  Kirby,  Eng.  Thomas  Pierson  was  married  at 
Branford,  Nov.  1662.]  In  the  distribution  of  home  lots  at  Newark  in 
1666,  Samuel  Lyon  received  No.  39.  He  signed  the  "fundamental 
agreement"  with  the  Milford  Colonists  June  24,  1667,  although  at  that

8.  II.  1.  BENJAMIN2  LYON,  Esq.  [Henryi]  was  born  about 
1668  in  Elizabeth  township,  New  Jersey,  after  his  parents  had  be- 
come prominently  identified  with  this  place.  His  name  is  given  in  a 
list,  1694,  of  subscribers  to  the  support  of  the  Rev.  John  Harriman  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Elizabeth.  In  the  re-survey  and 
allotment  of  the  township,  which  from  the  first  was  the  leading  one  in 
New  Jersey,  Benjamin  Lyon  was  chosen  assistant  "to  lay  out,  divide 
and  equally  assize  all  the  lands  and  meadows  within  the  whole  bound 
and  purchase  of  Elizabethtown,  to  every  one  interested  therein,  by 
right  of  purchase  under  the  Hon.  Richard  Nicolls,  their  several  re- 
spective parts,  and  of  the  whole."t 

"They  entered  upon  their  work  December  26,  1699,  and  com- 
pleted it  March  5,  1700.  The  ground  surveyed  comprised  17,000 
acres.  Benjamin  Lyon  was  chosen  1708-9  by  the  Borough  of  Elizabeth 
as  a  member  of  the  Assembly,  was  appointed  1711-12  a  Justice  of  the 
Peace§;  served  1717  on  County  Committee  of  Highways.  "These  ap- 
pointments, embracing  a  period  of  about  ten  years,  serve  to  show  who 
were  of  the  second  generation  chosen  to  office,  and  were  looked  upon 
as  men  of  activity  and  influence  by  their  townsmen.  In  almost  every 
instance  they  were  the  sons  or  grandsons  of  the  old  planters  whose 
names  were  still  represented  in  the  town."t 

Benjamin  Lyon  married  Bethia  Condit,  sister  of  John  Condit, 
whose  will,  dated  March  15,  1709-10,  names  "brothers  Benjamin  Lyon 
and  Matthew  Williams"  as  overseers.  The  following  is  the  text  of 
the  will  of  Benjamin  Lyon:  — 

In  the  Name  of  God  Amen:  The  Eighteenth  Day  of  ffebuary 
Anno,  one  thousand  Seven  Hundred  and  Nineteen  I  Benjamin  Lyon  of

ing the  Colonial  period  to  that  of  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court.  See  Eligibility

son  of  Jacob2  Winans  [1682-1722].  Her  daughter  Bethia  is  mentioned 
in  the  will  of  Ebenezer  Lyon  1739,  but  evidently  died  young  as  she  is 
not  mentioned  in  the  will  of  her  grandmother  Winans  (then  Wood) 
1746  with  the  other  grandchildren.  After  the  death  of  John  Winans, 
there  is  reason  to  believe  that  Bethia  Lyon  married  Joseph*  Foster 
[Mary3  Lyon,  Joseph2,  Henryi],  who  made  his  will  1739.  He  had  then 
no  children,  but  made  provision  for  such  not  because  sick  or  weak  but 
on  account  of  his  relation  to  his  father's  estate.       He  died  Aug.  18,

126  HENRY    LYON    OF    NEWARK 

uel  and  his  brother  Tappan  were  soldiers  in  the  American  Revolution, 
They  were  captured  by  the  British  and  died  in  the  horrible  Sugar 
House  prison  in  New  York.  The  following  letter  written  by  this  Sam- 
uel who  was  a  witness  of  the  public  demonstration  in  New  York  City 
at  the  time  of  the  declaration  of  American  Independence  is  of  historic 
interest.       The  beginning  of  the  letter  is  torn  off: 

" immediately  in  that  I  wrote  for  some  things  to  be  left  at 

Daniel  Sayres'  for  John  Stewart  to  fetch  over  on  Friday,  but  I  do  not 
know  whether  he  will  come  before  Saturday.  The  things  I  wrote  for 
was  a  thick  jaccoot,  woosted  stocking  and  woolen  ones,  a  knife,  fork 
and  spoon,  and  the  reasons  for  my  wanting  them  are  in  some  measure 
removed,  yet  I  want  them  still  and  if  we  shall  go  any  where  to  en- 
camp (as  I  expect  we  shall)  I  should  want  them  as  much  as  ever.  If 
you  receive  this  or  the  other  letter  in  time,  I  should  be  glad  if  you 
would  send  the  things  to  Sayre's  as  it  is  uncertain  wether  I  shall  have 
another  opportunity  to  get  them.  Our  sick  are  all  removed  except 
two,  who,  I  believe,  will  be  sent  home.  You  desired  I  should  write 
how  I  get  washing  done.  My  washing  is  done  very  well  at  the  follow- 
ing prices,  vist.;  for  a  shirt  6d.,  jaccoot  or  breeches  6d.,  stocking  2d. 
per  pair;  sock  Id.,  handkerchief  Id.  It  costs  me  for  washing  1/9  per 
week,  and  board,  if  I  get  it  at  the  tavern  as  some  do,  is  20  s.  p'r  week 
and  however  I  have  not  learned  to  be  so  extravigant,  &  God  grant  I 
never  may. 

Soon  after  our  arrival  today.  Independence  was  proclaimed  in  this 
City  by  the  Inhabitants  at  the  City  Hall,  when  the  King's  coat  of  arms 
engraved  in  a  stone  about  five  feet  square  was  tumbled  from  the  top 
of  the  hall  and  broken  to  pieces  on  the  pavement,  upon  which  a  large 
crowd  of  people  gave  three  cheers.  Then  they  gathered  the  pieces 
and  placed  them  on  a  fire  prepared  for  the  purpose  &  gave  three  cheers 
more  and  after  which  they  soon  dispersed.  They  likewise  resolved 
that  all  the  pictures  of  the  King's  coat  of  arms  in  all  the  Churches 
should  be  taken  out  and  burned. 

Friday  morning,  6  o'clock.  Jonathan  Pierson  this  morning 
obtained  liberty  of  the  General  to  go  home  so  that  if  you  send  the 
things  to  his  house  he  can  fetch  them  over,  and  if  you  will  send  me  a 
small  cheese  it  will  not  be  amiss,  as  there  is  neither  butter  nor  cheese 
to  be  got  here  unless  for  very  extravigant  prices.  I  have  been  to 
Holt's  and  the  year  is  up  for  news  and  they  want  the  money.      If  you

will  send  the  money  over  I  will  pay  him.  My  love  to  all  Relations  and

remain.

"November,  1818. 
"Mr.  Jos.  Congar — 
Respected  Sir: 

I  have  called  agreeably  to  your  wishes  on  my  arrival  in  New  York, 
this  afternoon  on  Mr.  Andrew  Morris,  and  the  lowest  price  he  will  sell 
15  boxes  of  dipt  candles  was  17  s.,  and  soap  11  s.  for  a  considerable 
quantity.  He  would  sell  at  a  discount  of  l-i/^  per  cent.  Mr.  Robert 
Steel  offered  me  the  same  price,  17  s.  and  11  s.  and  no  less.  William 
Colegate  asked  me  17  s.  for  one  box  or  20,  and  for  soap,  10  s.  They 
all  asked  one  price  for  candles.  On  my  remarking  to  them  they  had 
advanced  in  their  price,  they  simply  observed  that  they  were  made  of 
the  best  of  American  tallow  and  could  not  be  offered  for  less.  I  think 
you  may  venture  to  ask  the  same  advance  in  price  as  they  have. 

Compliments  to  the  family.

put  up  in  that  section  of  the  country."  Tradition  tells  that  his  father 
took  him  to  see  General  Lafayette  pass  at  one  time.  When  the  French 
patriot  of  the  American  war  of  the  Revolution  shook  hands  with  David 
Congar,  a  soldier  of  the  war,  Stephen  Congar  exclaimed,  "We  licked

626.  VI.  314.  JONATHAN  WILLIAMS6  LYON  (James5,  Moses*, 
Benjamins,  Benjamin  Esq.2,  Henryi)  was  born  in  New  York  City 
March  17,  1784,  and  died  at  his  home  on  Plum  St.,  Cincinnati,  O., 
Dec.  23,  1871.  His  last  recollection  of  the  city  of  his  nativity  was  see- 
ing General  George  Washington  disembark  from  an  eight-oared  barge 
at  Water  Street  when  he  came  to  be  inaugurated  first  President  of 
the  United  States.  Then  came  the  long  journey  across  the  mountains, 
then  down  the  Ohio  River  from  Pittsburg  to  Fort  Washington  to  the 
strenuous  life  of  the  great  Northwest.  Indians  with  hostile  intent 
were  just  beyond  the  settlement  and  an  armed  guard,  man  or  woman, 
stood  in  the  corners  of  the  worm-fences  while  the  fields  were  tilled. 
The  little  stream  in  Glen  Lyon  on  the  Jonathan  Lyon  estate,  Cincinnati, 
got  the  sanguinary  title  of  "Bloody  Run"  from  a  fight  between  set- 
tlers and  the  Indians  that  happened  there.  Among  other  reminiscences 
that  he  liked  to  dwell  upon,  was  his  first  visit  to  Jeffersonville,  Indiana, 
when  he  floated  down  the  river  on  a  keel  boat  to  be  the  guest  of  hia 
kinsman,  Major  Hunter,  who  was  in  command  of  Old  Fort  Finney. 

Jonathan  Lyon  married  at  North  Bend,  O.,  Feb.  17,  1806,  Melinda 
Gard  Lee,  who  was  born  in  Morristown,  N.  J.,  Oct.  8,  1786,  and  died  in

988.  VII.  596.  SARAH  BELLAS  LUDLOW  (CHASE)  [JamesS, 
Israels,  Martha*  (Lyon),  Benjamins,  Benjamin  Esq.2,  Henryi]  married, 
as  his  third  wife,  the  distinguished  statesman,  Hon.  Salmon  Portland 
Chase.  He  was  born  in  Cornish,  N.  H.,  Jan.  13,  1808,  and  died  in  New 
York  City,  May  7,  1873.  His  father,  Ithmar  Chase,  was  a  descendant 
in  the  eighth  generation  of  Thomas  Chase  of  Chesham,  Eng.,  and  in 
the  fifth  of  Aquila  Chase,  the  emigrant,  who  came  to  Newbury,  Mass., 
about  1640.  His  mother  was  Janette  Ralston,  of  Scotch  ancestry.  Of 
his  seven  uncles,  six  were  professional  men,  one  Dudley  Chase,  be- 
coming a  Senator,  another.  Philander,  a  Bishop  of  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church.  He  was  a  graduate  of  Dartmouth  College,  1826, 
admitted  to  the  bar  in  1829;  settled  in  Cincinnati  where  his  eminent 
abilities  soon  won  for  him  distinction.  He  strenuously  opposed  all 
legislation  favoring  slavery.  He  was  elected  to  the  U.  S.  Senate  in 
1840;  Governor  of  Ohio  in  1855-1859;  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Republican  party  in  1856;  in  1861  became  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
under  President  Lincoln,  displaying  great  ability  as  a  financier;  in  1864 
was  appointed  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States  in  place  of  Judge 
Taney,  deceased. 

He  married  first,  March  4,  1834,  Catharine  Jane  Garners,  who 
died  Dec.  1,  1835.  His  second  wife  was  Eliza  Ann  Smith  of  Cincinnati. 
They  were  married  Sept.  26,  1839.  She  had  a  daughter,  Kate  Chase, 
who  married  William  Sprague,  Governor  of  Rhode  Island.  Eliza  Ann 
Chase  died  Sept.  29,  1845.  Mr.  Chase,  still  a  young  man,  married 
as  his  third  wife,  Nov.  6,  1846,  Sarah  Bella  Ludlow,  who  died  June  13,

1056.  VII.  626.  SIDNEY  SMITH?  LYON  [Jonathan  W.6,  JamesS, 
Moses*,  Benjamin^,  Benjamin  Esq.2,  Henryi]  was  born  in  Cincinnati, 
Ohio,  Aug,  4,  1808.  On  St.  John's  Day  the  Associated  Press  made  the 
following  announcement:  "Louisville,  June  24,  1872;  Major  Sidney  S, 
Lyon,  formerly  State  Geologist  of  Kentucky,  one  of  the  most  eminent 
of  his  profession,  died  of  paralysis  at  his  residence  in  Jeffersonville, 
Ind,,  at  2:30  p.  m." 

A  short  sketch  of  his  life  will  be  edited  in  part  from  what  the 
Press  had  to  say  of  him.  "The  home  of  Major  Lyon,  on  the  Falls  of  the 
Ohio,  afforded  him  peculiar  advantages  for  the  prosecution  of  his  fav- 
orite study.  He  devoted  much  time  to  the  examination  of  Cninoidea,  a 
branch  of  Paleontology  that  he  made  a  speciality,  and  his  collection 
of  crinoids  is  considered  equal  to  any  in  the  world,  with  the  exception 
perhaps  of  that  of  Prof.  Wyville  Tompson,  of  Belfast,  Ireland,  many  of 
whose  specimens  are  duplicates  of  those  in  the  Lyon  cabinet.  Major 
Lyon  contributed  many  articles  and  drawings  of  the  new  genera  and 
specimens  of  crinoids  found  on  the  Falls  here,  to  the  Philadelphia 
Academy  of  Science,     The  larger  portion  of  the  Kentucky  Geological 


186  HENRY    LYON    OF    NEWARK 

Survey  was  also  from  his  pen.  The  report  of  the  Smithsonian  In- 
stitute for  1870,  contains  a  contribution  from  Major  Lyon  upon  the 
ancient  Mounds  in  Lyon  County  of  this  state  (Kentucky). 

When  the  hostilities  commenced  between  the  North  and  the 
South,  the  United  States  Government  secured  the  services  of  Major 
Lyon,  and  he  was  attached  to  the  command  of  Gen.  George  W.  Mor- 
gan, 9th  Division  of  the  Army  of  Ohio,  as  Chief  of  the  Engineering 
Corps,  and  by  his  skill  and  his  knowledge  of  the  topography  of  Ken- 
tucky he  rendered  most  efficient  service  in  the  first  campaign  of  the 
war.  On  April  1st,  1862,  he  was  commissioned  Captain  in  the  4th  Ken- 
tucky Cavalry,  and  in  August  1863,  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
Major.  However,  he  never  saw  his  Regiment,  being  on  detached  duty, 
first  with  Brig.  Gen.  George  W.  Morgan;  afterward  with  Major  Gen. 
George  L.  Hartstuff ;  Major  Gen.  A.  E.  Burnside;  Gen.  Manson  and  Gen. 
Foster,  as  acting  Topographical  Engineer,  through  Kentucky,  at  Cum- 
berland Gap,  through  Tennessee,  at  the  Siege  of  Vicksburg,  at  Port 
Arkansas,  etc.,  etc.,  building  fortifications,  and  constructing  military 
roads. 

At  Cumberland  Gap  he  received  injuries  from  which  he  never 
recovered  and  which  eventually  caused  his  death.  It  was  the  night  of 
July  21,  1862,  during  an  attack  made  by  the  Union  forces  under  the 
command  of  Col.  Carter  upon  a  Flag  of  Truce  in  passing  from  Cumber- 
land Gap  to  Tezwell,  Tenn.  By  this  fatal  blunder  many  of  the  prison- 
ers to  be  exchanged  were  killed,  and  several  of  the  escort  were 
wounded,  among  them  Sidney  S.  Lyon.  After  some  days  of  suffering 
he  returned  to  duty  and  continued  building  the  fortifications  that  he 
destroyed  on  the  night  of  September  17,  1862. 

When  Gen.  Morgan's  forces  were  surrounded,  the  enemy  having 
cut  off  all  communications  with  the  rear  preventing  reinforcements 
and  supplies  from  reaching  his  garrison,  at  a  Council  of  War,  Capt. 
Sidney  S.  Lyon  of  Gen.  Morgan's  staff,  was  consulted  as  to  the  pos- 
sibility of  making  a  retreat  toward  Lexington  if  the  Gap  was  vacated. 
He  rejected  this  plan,  which  meant  annihilation,  but  had  another  to 
suggest,  and  promised  to  save  the  army  depending  on  his  knowledge 
of  the  topography  of  Kentucky  to  achieve  an  almost  Impossible  feat. 
It  was  difficult  to  conduct  a  great  body  of  men  through  a  rough,  wild 
country,  where  roads  would  have  to  be  cut  through  impenetrable  un- 
dergrowth; and  there  would  be  no  victualling  by  the  way.  He  further 
stated  that  they  would  have  to  cross  "Big  Devil  River"  and  "Little 
Devil  River"  and  "Hell  for  Sartaln  Creek",  small,  turbulent  streams

that  a  sudden  freshet  turned  into  dangerous  unfordable  waters. 

But  this  Chapter  of  American  History  is  best  told  through  the 
personal  recollections  of  Col.  James  KeigwinJ  in 

The  Escape  of  Morgan's  Army. 
"Shut  up  like  rats  in  a  trap  for  thirty  days  until  rations  grew 
short,  and  hope  of  escape  became  less  and  less;  shut  up  by  Kirby, 
Smith  and  John  Morgan  in  Cumberland  Gap  while  Buell  and  Bragg 
were  racing  toward  Louisville;  that  was  the  condition  of  Gen.  George 
W.  Morgan  and  the  12,000  officers  and  men  under  him  in  September 
1862.  They  could  not  fight  their  way  out  for  the  Confederates  had 
treble  the  men  on  either  side  the  mountain,  ready  to  pounce  upon  the 
devoted  little  Union  Army  if  it  ventured  out  of  the  fastnesses  of  the 
Gap.  Yet,  come  forth  it  must,  sooner  or  later,  for  food  was  becoming 
scarcer  and  scarcer,  and  it  was  simply  a  question  of  starvation,  sur- 
render, or  fight  to  the  death.  Gen.  Morgan  and  the  Generals  with  him, 
Carter,  Baird  and  Speers,  looked  at  their  position  from  all  sides.  To 
get  out  of  the  trap  and  get  away,  the  army  would  have  to  come  out 
by  the  way  of  Barboursville  and  Lexington,  or  to  sneak  over  almost 
impassible  paths  through  the  mountains,  and  emerge  upon  the  Ohio 
in  Eastern  Kentucky.  By  the  first  plan  capture  was  certain;  by  the 
second,  capture  or  starvation  was  possible,  but  the  army  might  be 
saved.  To  remain  in  the  Gap  was  to  be  caught  without  a  stroke  for 
liberty.  Finally  it  was  decided  to  march,  or  rather  scramble,  through 
the  mountains.  Then  followed  one  of  the  most  marvelous  races  to 
save  an  army  which  has  ever  been  recorded  in  history.  As  soon  as 
Morgan  reached  the  decision  of  flight,  the  trunnions  were  cut  from  the 
seige  guns,  and  the  guns  toppled  over  a  precipice;  the  tents  were  cut 
to  pieces,  and  the  extra  ammunition  was  thrown  down  an  enormous 
well  which  provided  the  army  with  Water.  In  fact,  what  the  men 
could  not  carry,  and  did  not  absolutely  need,  was  destroyed.  The  two 
Hoosier  regiments,  the  Forty-ninth  under  Col.  James  Keigwin,  and 
the  Thirty-third  under  Col.  Coburn,  were  ordered  to  push  ahead  to 
Cumberland  Ford,  taking  the  cannon  with  them,  "And  for  God's 
sake,  Colonels,  get  to  the  Ford  before  morning"  was  the  instruction 
from  the  General.  They  made  the  distance,  but  the  men  almost  dupli- 
cated Napoleon's  feat  of  crossing  the  Alps.  Horses  were  useless, 
and  the  entire  force  had  to  tug  at  the  ropes  and  get  under  the  wheels 
to  pull  or  lift  the  ordance  over  the  path. 

t   (Herman  Rane). 


188  HENRY    LYON    OF    NEWARK 

Meanwhile  Morgan  wanted  to  hear  from  his  cavalry,  which  re- 
connoitered  Stevenson's  Division  of  the  Confederates  on  the  Tennessee 
side.  And  when  they  came  in  they  brought  the  news  that  Stevenson 
had  evidently  discovered  their  intention  and  was  moving.  Then 
Morgan  started.  One  man  only  remained  behind.  It  was  Captain 
Sidney  S.  Lyon,  of  Jeffersonville,  one  of  Indiana's  most  gifted  engin- 
eers. As  the  Federal  army  moved  away,  he  sat  down  upon  a  rock 
and  waited.  Beside  him  lay  a  black,  snake-like  rope,  the  end  running 
into  the  steep  side  of  the  mountain.  It  was  a  fuse.  He  had  mined 
the  mountain  and  lilled  the  hollow  with  all  the  powder  the  fleeing 
army  could  spare,  and  presently,  when  it  was  safe  out  of  danger,  he 
would  light  the  fuse  and  then 

The  Explosion  of  the  Mine. 

The  tramp  of  the  marching  died  away;  the  commissary  stores 
were  burning  and  still  he  sat,  as  the  night  fell  over  the  heights  and  the 
darkness  filled  the  ravines.  The  solitary  watcher  in  the  deserted  camp 
listened  intently.  Were  the  Confederates  coming?  He  heard  the  faint 
hoof-beats,  the  rumble  of  a  great  force  of  men  coming  from  the 
Tennessee  side.  It  was  time  to  fire  the  fuse.  There  was  the  sparkle 
of  a  match,  the  splutter  of  powder,  and  a  man  fleeing  down  the  moun- 
tain toward  Kentucky  for  his  life then  a  death-like  silence  in 

the  rocky  wilderness Far  away  toward  the  Ford  the  Fed- 
erals were  seeking  escape,  and  every  now  and  then  looking  back  to- 
ward the  mountain  height  from  which  they  had  descended.  On  the 
other   side,    with   clink   of   spurs   and    sabre,    the    Confederates   wer^ 

pressing  forward,  if  possible  to  intercept  the  hurrying  column 

Then  there  was  a  last  splutter  of  the  snake-like  rope.  It  had  crept 
into  the  mountain  side  like  a  serpent  with  a  fiery  head.  A  moment's 
silence.  The  man  fleeing  for  his  life  looked  back.  The  mountain  open- 
ed. Flames  shot  up  into  the  star-lit  darkness;  for  miles  and  miles  they 
lighted  up  the  night;  for  miles  and  miles  rumbled  and  crashed  and 
thundered  the  voice  of  an  awful  explosion,  shaking  and  rocking  the 
solid  earth.  Then  silence  again,  deep  and  dark.  The  Gap  was  block- 
aded by  the  opening  of  the  mine,  and  the  Federals  gained  a  respite 
until  the  Confederates  could  find  some  means  of  getting  guns  and 
cavalry  over  the  ruins.  "Six  miles  away",  said  Col.  Keigwin,  "the 
earth  trembled  with  the  shock  of  the  explosion." 

"The  retreat  through  the  mountains  of  Eastern  Kentucky  was  a 
long  and   arduous  one,  the  troops   subsisting  mostly  on   green   corn 


SEVENTH    GENERATION  189 

during  the  entire  march  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  miles,  occupying 
seventeen  days  and  nights  of  almost  constant  marching  and  fighting."t 

"The  people  from  the  Union  hearing  nothing  from  the  apparently 
doomed  army,  gave  it  up  for  lost.  But  it  toiled  away  toward  the 
North,  the  men  dragging  the  cannons  and  wagons,  and  bearing  the 
siclf  and  wounded,  and  during  brief  rests,  grating  half  ripe  corn  to 
make  bread  to  be  hastily  and  greedily  swallowed.  When  the  column 
emerged  from  the  roughest  part  of  the  mountains,  it  found  itself 
harassed  in  front,  rear  and  on  the  flanks  by  John  Morgan's  cavalry, 
which  tried  to  retard  it  until  Kirby  Smith  and  Humphrey  Marshall 
could  arrive  and  crush  it." 

General  Morgan's  orders  to  Topographical  Engineer  Lyon  were 
"to  totally  obliterate  and  blockade  the  roads."  "To  you,"  he  said, 
"I  entrust  this  important  duty".  Munday's  Cavalry  and  the  Third 
Kentucky  Infantry  constituted  the  advance  guard.  Heavy  fatigue 
parties  were  constantly  employed  in  front,  making  and  repairing  roads 
which  were  again  blockaded  by  Capt.  Lyon  when  the  rear  guard  passed 
over.  Trees  were  felled  to  close  all  avenues  of  approach,  and  bridges 
were  destroyed.  The  country  was  cleared  of  what  little  provender 
there  had  been  by  the  famished  soldiers.  By  day  and  by  night  the 
march  went  on  till  Oct.  4,  1862,  when  at  last  the  exhausted  army 
reached  Greenup  in  the  extreme  east  of  Kentucky,  and  below  them 
flowed  the  waters  of  the  Ohio.  The  men  shouted  for  joy,  for  there 
was  the  Ford,  and  beyond  the  free  North.       The  army  was  savedj. 

"The  American  nation  owes  him  (Major  Sidney  S.  Lyon)  a  debt 
which  it  has  never  fully  paid,  for  it  was  his  ingenuity,  originality  and 
daring  which  saved  a  Union  Army  from  either  destruction  or  capture, 
and  possibly  prevented  the  capture  of  Louisville  by  Bragg,  by  com- 
pelling the  Confederate  Armies  to  watch  Cumberland  Gap,  and  then  to 
pursue  the  escaping  Union  Army  of  Gen.  George  W.  Morgan." 

The  man  who  planned  and  executed  the  retreat  of  the  Twelve 
Thousand  (called  generally  "the  Retreat  of  the  Ten  Thousand")  three 
months  previous  to  the  evacuation  of  Cumberland  Gap  and  the  retreat 
to  the  Ohio  River,  had  suffered  the  injuries  of  a  broken  arm,  a  con- 
tused leg,  and  hurts  about  the  breast  and  head.  The  Geological  Survey 
of  Kentucky  had  made  him  familiar  with  the  country  to  be  traversed. 
He  alone  could  have  brought  the  7th  Army  Corps  from  the  mortal 
peril  into  safety.

190  HENRY   LYON   OF    NEWARK 

In  the  seige  of  Vicksburg,  the  expedition  against  Arkansas  Post, 
in  Burnside's  Expedition  to  Cumberland  Gap,  etc.,  etc.,  etc.,  Major 
Lyon  served  his  country  with  splendid  heroism  and  a  remarkable  skill 
in  military  affairs.  But  his  laborious  occupation,  much  exposure,  and 
the  effects  of  his  injuries,  had  broken  his  health. 

It  will  be  found  in  "War  of  the  Rebellion  —  Official  Records"  that 
"it  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  the  age  and  failing  health  of  this  officer 
Impair  to  a  certain  extent  his  usefulness  as  a  topographer,  for  which 
he  has  a  wonderful  talent."  On  Oct.  21,  1864,  it  became  necessary 
on  account  of  physical  disability,  for  Major  Sidney  S.  Lyon,  Asst. 
Engineer,  23rd  Army  Corps,  to  tender  his  resignation  and  return 
to  civil  life.  At  the  close  of  the  war,  in  hope  of  healing  a  shattered 
constitution,  he  accepted  an  offer  to  go  to  Nevada  to  locate  mines. 
When  this  fact  became  public,  the  Government  at  Washington  sent 
him  a  quantity  of  books  and  maps,  requesting  as  a  favor,  that  his 
proposed  work  might  be  put  on  the  records  of  the  United  States 
Survey.  Atlas  sheet  S — 8  of  the  Geographical  Survey,  west  of  the 
100th  meridian,  shows  that  part  of  the  continent,  then  virtually  un- 
known, that  was  brought  into  knowledge  by  this  expert  topographer 
and  geologist,  who  was  a  member  of  nearly  all  of  the  Scientific 
Societies  of  America. 

This  resume  has  left  unnoticed  the  early  years  of  Sidney  Smith 
Lyon.  As  a  child  he  had  shown  an  extraordinary  aptitude  for  drawing. 
In  1836  the  spirit  of  art,  long  dormant,  was  wakened  to  full  activity 
by  the  companionship  of  Morgan,  Beard,  Crouch  and  the  Frankenstines. 
The  most  distinguished  men  of  Kentucky  were  subjects  for  his  pencil, 
and  such  pictures  as  the  "Entombment"  and.  the  "Paralytic"  exhibit 
his  genius.  Who  taught  the  unschooled  coterie  of  early  Western 
artists  drawing,  color  and  technique?  Experiment,  mutual  sug- 
gestion, and  the  progress  of  sustained  endeavor  was  their  Munich  and 
their  Paris.  But  unless  ancestral  transmission  directs  the  trend  of 
future  men,  a  special  Providence  is  the  destiny  of  special  lives. 

In  1829  Sidney  S.  Lyon  became  a  citizen  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  and 
married  there,  Nov.  8,  1831,  Honora  Vincent  Lyons,  who  was  born  In 
the  City  of  Cork  Jan.  6,  1816,  a  daughter  of  John  Lyons,  Esq.,  and 
Mary  Jackson,  his  wife,  a  young  girl  of  rare  beauty  and  culture,  and  a 
kinswoman  of  that  giant  of  the  English  Parliament,  O'Connell,  the 
great  Irish  agitator.  Her  father  came  to  Louisville  after  the  "Declara- 
tion of  Peace"  to  engage  in  business — something  that  his  Old  World 
position  would  not  permit  at  home.     After  the  arrival  of  his  family 


SEVENTH    GENERATION  191 

in  1826,  his  house  at  the  corner  of  Third  and  Market  Streets  be- 
came noted  for  its  hospitality,  and  for  the  grace  and  intellectuality 
of  its  mistress.  When  she  reached  womanhood,  Honora  Lyons  was  a 
reigning  belle.  Charm  was  one  of  her  gifts  and  attracted  all  who  came 
near  her  —  a  gift  that  she  retained  all  her  long  life  through,  just 
as  she  retained  her  beauty,  which  had  only  become  the  beauty  of  age, 
and  her  social  qualities.  As  a  wife,  as  a  mother,  as  a  friend,  there 
was  none  like  her,  and  she  pleased  her  Master,  for  she  loved  her 
neighbor  as  herself.  In  1847  she  came  to  Jeffersonville,  Ind.,  and  she 
had  lived  for  fifty  years  at  her  home  "The  Octagon",  when,  on  Feb. 
22,  1900,  she  ceased  to  make  happiness  for  others.  Then  it  was  said 
of  her,  "She  was  one  of  the  most  cultured  and  lovable  women  in  the 
three  Falls  Cities,  and  to  her  last  days  took  a  lively  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  the  world,  well  abreast  of  its  literary  and  political  move- 
ments, a  noble  christian  woman,  whose  life  was  full  of  the  fragrance 
of  good  deeds.  Death  came  to  her,  not  as  the  King  of  Dread,  but  as  a 
great  white-winged  Angel  from  the  presence  of  God  who  bears  the 
Palm  of  Peace."

REVEREND  JAMES  LYON. 

OF  MACHIAS,  MAINE. 

2172.  (187a).  V.  66.  REV.  JAMES' LYON  [Zopher*.  Capt.  Henry*, 
SamueP,  Henry']  was  born  in  Newark,  N.  J.,  July  1,  1735.  He  waa  a 
graduate  of  Princeton  College,  B.  A.  1759;  A.  M.  1762.  On  the  oc- 
casion of  taking  his  Master's  degree  he  made  an  address  which  was 
commented  on  very  favorably  in  the  public  press.  He  was  licensed 
to  preach  in  1762  by  the  Presbytery  of  New  Brunswick  and  ordained 
by  the  same  body  in  1764.  He  preached  several  years  in  Nova  Scotia, 
in  Onslow  (1764)  and  other  places,  but  he  became  discouraged  and 
determined  to  return  to  New  Jersey.  Just  at  this  time,  in  1771,  the 
people  in  the  new  settlement  at  Machias,  Me.,  were  in  search  of  a 
minister.  They  engaged  James  Lyon  at  a  salary  of  eighty  pounds 
a  year,  to  take  charge  of  the  new  parish,  preaching  on  alternate 
Sabbaths  at  the  West  Falls  and  the  East  Falls  settlements.  Thus  be- 
gan the  relationship  maintained  with  mutual  profit  and  satisfaction 
until  terminated  by  his  death  June  12,  1794. 

During  the  Revolutionary  war  he  was  a  leader  in  the  movement 
to  achieve  independence.  In  1775  he  submitted  to  General  Washing- 
ton for  the  patriots  of  Maine,  plans  for  the  conquest  of  Nova  Scotia. 
His  name  appears  on  the  roster  of  a  detachment  raised  in  December 
1776  to  operate  against  the  British  at  Cumberland,  service  25  days. 
Again  in  1777  he  has  a  record  of  service  of  three  months  at  Machias, 
for  defense.  During  these  trying  years  he  did  not  receive  one  dollar 
on  account  of  salary,  although  eventually  the  whole  amount  due  him 
as  "back  pay"  v/as  made  up. 

When  the  supply  of  salt  was  cut  off  by  the  interruption  of  com- 
merce during  the  war,  he  established  a  plant  for  extracting  salt  from 
the  sea  water,  the  little  island  on  which  it  was  located  retaining  to 
this  day  the  name  "Salt  Island."  He  was  a  man  of  forceful  personal- 
ity, energetic  in  secular  as  well  as  in  religious  affairs.  He  was 
color  blind  and  once  purchased  a  piece  of  scarlet  cloth  for  a  coat, 
supposing  that  it  was  black. 

The  church  over  which  he  presided  was  organized  September  12, 
1782.  Meetings  had  been  held  at  first  in  Stephen  Jones'  barn.  In 
1774  the  first  meeting  house  had  been  built,  by  private  subscriptions, 
at  a  cost  of  $220.  The  Machias  town  records  contain  a  number  of 
items  like  the  following:     "Aug.  10,  1784,  a  town  meeting  was  held, 

(15) 


242  HENRY   LYON    OF    NEWARK 

at  which  it  was  voted  that  eighty-six  pound's  be  assessed  and  raised 
for  one  year's  salary  of  the  Rev.  James  Lyon.  Also  it  was  voted 
that  the  Rev.  James  Lyon  have  the  use  of  the  public  marsh  lots  three 
ensuing  years."§ 

Rev.  James  Lyon  as  a  young  man  showed  some  talent  as  a  facile 
writer  of  verse.  In  the  New  American  Magazine,  published  at  Wood- 
bridge,  N.  J.,  there  appeared  in  September  1759,  an  original  ode, 
"Louisburg  Taken,"  signed  Nassovian,  written  by  him  while  yet  in 
college.  At  the  Commencement  when  he  was  graduated,  Sept.  26, 
1759,  the  concluding  number  on  the  program  was  an  "Ode"  of  his 
composition,  set  to  original  music — either  his  own,  or  that  of  his 
friend  Francis  Hopkinson.  In  the  light  of  subsequent  history,  the 
refrain  of  this  composition  is  interesting: 

"We  sing  great  George  upon  the  Throne, 
And    Amherst    brave    in    arms, 
Amherst   brave   in  arnas." 

and  again, 

"Happy,   happy,   happy  still. 

Safe   from   all  the   alarms  of   ill 

W^hile   George,   the   friend   of  man,    adorns   the   throne 

And   Amherst   shines   in   arms." 

At  the  Commencement  in  May  1761,  it  is  recorded  that  "there 
was  performed  an  elegant  Anthem,  composed  by  James  Lyon  of  New 
Jersey  College."  There  was  also  given  on  that  occasion  "an  Ode, 
sacred  to  the  memory  of  our  late  gracious  Sovereign,  George  II, 
written  and  set  to  music  in  a  very  grand  and  masterly  taste  by  Francis 
Hopkinson,  Esq.,  A.  M."  There  has  been  recently  published  an  "appre- 
ciation" of  these  two  early  cultivators  of  the  art  of  musical  expres- 
sion, by  O.  G.  Sonneck  of  Washington,  D.  C.  James  Lyon  published 
several  collections  of  sacred  music,  notably  one  first  issued  in  1762, 
entitled  Urania.  A  new  edition  of  this  was  advertised  in  the  Penn- 
sylvania Journal  in  November  1767,  as  "a  choice  collection  of  psalm 
tunes,  anthems  and  hymns,  some  of  them  entirely  new."  Price,  ten 
shillings. 

James  Lyon  married  first,  Feb.  18,  1768,  Martha  Holden,  of  Cape 
May,  W.  N.  J.  (born  Dec.  24,  1749),  who  was  the  mother  of  his  children. 
He  married  second,  Nov.  24,  1793,  only  a  few  months  before  his 
death,  Sarah  Skillen  (Boston  Record).  She  was  born  1744  and  died 
Oct.  18,  1827   (G.  R.  Middleboro  cemetery,  Acushnet). 


§It  is  stated  that  at  one  time  he  supplied  the  pulpit  of  Newtown,  L.  I., 
1782-1785,  but  this  does  not  seem  probable.  Another  statement  found  in  the 
New  Jersey  Archives  (XX.  p.  383)  is  that  "he  is  said  to  have  been  of  Irish 
birth."  Both  statements  no  doubt  arose  from  confounding  Rev.  James  Lyon 
of  Machias  with  a  Rev.  James  Lyon  of  about  the  same  age  who  came  from 
Ireland   about    1747   and  preached  at   Brookhaven,    L.    I.    (d.    1786).

Elizabethtown,  1745-1802,  was  no  doubt  a  descendant  of  Henry  Lyon, 
probably  in  the  fifth  generation.  His  parentage  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained, but  he  may  be  identified  without  question  as  the  David  Lyon 
who  was  Captain  in  Continental  Army  in  the  Revolutionary  War.t 
He  was  buried  in  the  Elizabethtown  Presbyterian  Churchyard,  his 
tombstone  bearing  the  inscription,  "Capt.  David  Lyon,  d.  1802,  March 
30,  aged  57  years."  In  1787  he  gave  to  the  village  school  of  his 
neighborhood  "a  good  size  bell,  which  rang  many  generations  to  work 
in  the  long  pine  forms  of  the  North  End  school."  The  old  school 
house  was  destroyed  by  fire  about  1864.  The  bell  was  removed  to 
Dr.  David  Pierson's  Academy  across  the  road  from  David  Lyon's 
residence,  where  it  remained  until  this  too  was  burned  down,  in 
1878.  It  is  now  in  the  museum  of  the  State  House  in  Trenton.  Around 
the  bell  is  the  inscription: 

"A  gift  from  Capn.  David  Lyon,  1789,"  and  below  this  Is  cast: 
"Made  by  David   Ross  at   Eliz.  town."     Captain  David  Lyon   and 
his  wife  Rhoda  were  members  of  the  old  Presbyterian  Church  at  Eliz-

abethtown.  They  were  perhaps  parents  of  David  [the  tombstone, 
broken  off,  says,  "Brother  David,  aged  45"]  of  Aaron,  born  1769, 
died  Sept.  5,  1854  [he  lived  on  tract  X,  about  at  T  O  on  Map  of  Lyons 
Farms],  and  of  a  nameless  child  who  died  June  17,  1788,  all  buried 
in  the  same  churchyard. 


tOfflcial  record  from  the  office  of  the  Adjutant  General,  State  of  New  Jersey: 
It  is  certified  that  the  records  of  this  office  show  that  David  iyon  was  com- 
missioned Captain,  First  New  York  Regiment,  New  York  Continental  Line, 
June  28,  1775;  commissioned  Captain,  Colonel  Oliver  Spencer's  Regiment,  Con- 
tinental Arm.y,  January  1,  1777;  joined  regiment  June  1,  1777;  resigned  April

RHODE  ISLAND  LYONS. 

PROBABLY    OF    THE    FAMILY    OF    HENRY. 

In  the  "Lyon  Memorial,  Massachusetts  Families"  there  is  given 
a  record  of  the  descendants  of  a  certain  John  Lyon  of  Scituate,  R.  L, 
born  probably  about  1740,  whose  parentage  had  not  been  ascertained, 
but  who  was  referred  doubtfully  to  the  family  of  William^  Lyon  of 
Roxbury.  It  was  stated,  however,  that  he  might  have  been  a  des- 
cendant of  Henry^  Lyon.  No  new  light  has  been  shed  upon  the 
question  of  his  ancestry,  but  additional  facts  have  been  ascertained 
about  other  Rhode  Island  Lyons  who  seem  to  have  been  of  the  same 
family,  and  these  may  be  given  place  here  as  being  perhaps  not  out 
of  their  natural  connection.  We  have  seen  that  one  branch  of  the 
family  of  Henry  established  itself  in  Rhode  Island,  descendants  of 
Lieutenant  James  Lyon  (No.  26).  James  had  a  brother  John  who 
married  but  whose  descendants  have  not  been  traced.  It  is  quite  pos- 
sible that  he  also  settled  in  Rhode  Island,  and  it  would  have  been 
very  natural  for  him  to  name  one  of  his  sons  John.  Another  son  he 
might  naturally  have  named  for  his  uncle  Thomas. 

John  Lyon  of  Scituate  married,  Oct.  27,  1763,  in  Cranston,  R.  I., 
Martha  Burlingame,  daughter  of  Daniel  and  Rose  (Briggs)  Burlingame. 
Three  years  before,  Thomas  Lyon  had  married  Huldah,  a  sister  of 
Martha  Burlingame.  No  records  have  been  found  as  yet  in  Rhode 
Island  of  the  descendants  of  this  Thomas,  whom  we  may  assume  to 
hare  been  a  brother  of  John,  although  such  records  no  doubt  exist. 
It  is,  however,  almost  certain  that  the  sons  of  Thomas  removed  from 
Rhode  Island  to  Chenango  Co.,  N.  Y.,  as  did  'some  of  the  sons  of  John. 
At  all  events,  three  brothers,  Samuel,  Alexander  and  "Major"  Lyon, 
in  1791,  settled  at  Lyon  Brook,  Chenango  Co.,  and  their  descendants 
state  that  they  came  either  from  Connecticut  or  Rhode  Island.  The 
circumstance  that  one  of  them  bore  the  unusual  name  Alexander 
is  of  significance,  since  Cyrus  Lyon,  a  'son  of  John  named  his  oldest 
son  Alexander  in  1797.  That  Cyrus  and  Alexander  were  cousins  there- 
fore, there  can  hardly  be  a  doubt.  Again  the  circumstance  that  a 
daughter  of  Samuel  Lyon  married  a  Burlingame — whether  in  Rhode 
Island  or  in  New  York  State  does  not  signify — points  unmistakably 
to  Rhode  Island  as  the  home  of  the  emigrants. 

Of  the  three  brothers  who  came  to  Chenango  Co.  in  1791,  two, 
Samuel  and  Alexander,  are  said  to  have  been  previously  soldiers  In 


250  RHODE  ISLAND  LYONS 

the  Revolutionary  war,  having  served  in  a  Connecticut  regiment. 
Alexander  was  never  married.  The  third  brother  "Major"  Lyon  is 
said  to  have  been  killed  at  Little  York  "in  a  fight  with  the  British 
in  1812."  The  Lyon  brothers  bought  land  of  Benjamin  Hovey,  Gov. 
Clinton's  land  agent,  for  one  shilling  an  acre.  They  built  a  grist 
mill;  also,  it  is  said,  "a  lumber  mill  and  a  woolen  mill."  Samuel 
was  the  only  one  of  them  who  raised  a  family.  His  wife's  name  has 
not  been  ascertained.

RICHARD  LYON 

OF  FAIRFIELD, 

[The  family  history  compiled  by  Mrs.   Louise  Lyon  Johnson,   of  Minneapolis,   Minn. 

A.   B.   Lyons,   M.   D.,   of  Detroit,   Mich.,   and  Dr.   G.   W.  A. 

Lyon,    of   Philadelphia,    Pa.] 

Richard  Lyon  settled  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  as  early  as  May,  1649, 
the  exact  date  of  his  arrival  there  not  being  now  known.  According 
to  family  tradition  he  was  the  youngest  of  three  brothers,  who  came 
to  New  England  probably  about  1648  and  located  first  in  Fairfield 
County,  Connecticut.  §  The  earliest  item  relating  to  him  is  found  in 
the  Colonial  Records  of  Connecticut  (I.  183)  where  we  read  in  the 
proceedings  of  a  "perticular  Courte"  in  Hartford,  May  16,  1649  "Ne- 
hemiah  Olmstead  Pit  contra  Richard  Lyon  defendt  in  an  action  of  the 
case,  to  the  damage  of  £12."  The  report  is  certainly  tantalizingly 
brief,  and  leaves  us  quite  in  the  dark  as  to  the  merits  or  the  out- 
come of  the  controversy. 

Richard  Lyon  had  a  house  and  lot  recorded  in  the  Land  Records 
of  Fairfield  ("Fayrefeild")  in  January,  1653,  and  was  made  a  freeman 
there  in  1664  (Conn.  Colonial  Records  I.  432) f.  In  1673  he  had  re- 
corded five  acres  of  land  at  Barlow's  Plains,  and  18%  acres  "on  the 
Rocks."  He  was  chosen  Commissioner  for  Fairfield,  May  1669  (Conn. 
Col.  Rec.  n.  106).  It  is  related  that  on  the  occasion  of  a  witchcraft 
trial  "the  prisoner  was  sharply  rebuked  by  Richard  Lyon,  one  of  the 
keepers,  for  bold  language."  From  the  abusive  reply  which  is  re- 
corded one  may  gather  that  the  rebuke  was  well  deserved. 

The  will  of  Richard  Lyon,  dated  April  12th,  1678,  probated  Oct.  17, 
1678,  is  almost  the  only  source  of  information  about  his  family.  It 
reads: — 

"The  Last  Will  and  Testament  of  Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield  weak 
In  body,  but  perfect  in  mind  and  memory  doe  make  this  my  last  will 

tThe  names  of  settlers  in  "Fayrefeild"  accepted  to  be  made  free  Oct.  13, 
1664  were  "John  Bur,  Rob.  Turny,  Joseph  Lockwood,  Simon  Crowch,  John 
Knowles,  Rob.  Beecham,  John  Barlow  Sr.,  John  Barlow  Junr,  James  Euarts, 
Peter  Cooly,  Thomas  Sherwood,  Wm.  Heyden,  John  Growman,  Francis  Bradley, 
John  Holte,  Steven  Sherwood,  Nath:  Burr,  Rich:  Lyon,  Mr.  Wakeman,  Thomas 
Bennit,  Thomas  Wilson.  James  Bean,  John  Odill,  Samll  Morehouse,  Thomas 
Morehouse,   Mathew   Sherwood,   Richard   Hubbell."      (Col.   Rec.    Conn.   I.   433). 

§The  compilers  of  this  family  history  regard  It  as  very  highly  probable 
that  Henry,  Thomas  and  Richard  Lyon  were  brothers.  They  do  not  accept  as 
of  historic  value  the  tradition  that  these  brothers  came  direct  from  Scotland, 
although  they  have  no  doubt  that  they  were  of  the  same  Lyon  family  of  which 
the  Earls  of  Strathmore  are  a  branch.  The  question  is  one  of  fact,  to  be  set- 
tled   only    by    research.

and  testament.  Imprimis:  I  give  my  body  to  a  comely  buryall  and

the  moveable  estate  I  give  them  equally  to  be  divided  provided  it 
exceeds  not  forty  pounds  which  yf  it  doe  the  overplus  is  to  be  divided 
between  my  three  youngest  sons  and  my  three  youngest  daughters 
equally.  I  will  my  three  youngest  daughters  Betty,  Hanna  and 
A"bigail  shall  have  their  portions  payd  them  at  nineteen  years  of  age 
unless  they  marry  before  that  age  yf  they  doe  then  to  receive  their 
portions.  And  yf  either  Samuel  or  Joseph  dye  before  they  come  to 
age  to  receive  their  portions  the  other  sonne  to  have  the  whole,  he 
paying  a  third  part  of  the  value  of  the  said  portion  equally  unto 
William  and  the  three  youngest  daughters,  and  yf  any  of  my  three 
youngest  daughters  dye  before  they  come  of  age  to  receive  their 
portions  then  the  portion  shall  be  divided  equally  unto  the  survivors 
of  the  three  youngest  sons.  And  yf  William  dye  before  he  come  of 
age  to  receive  his  portion  then  Samuell  and  Joseph  shall  have  his  land, 
and  they  shall  pay  to  my  three  youngest  daughters  a  third  part  of  the 
value  of  his  land  equally  to  be  divided  among  them.  And  it  is  my 
will  that  yf  the  moveables  fall  short  of  my  wife's  three  score  pound 
and  my  daughters'  forty  pound  a  piece  as  above  then  my  land  In 
Sascoeneck  lying  between  Goodman  Cobbes  and  Thomas  Shornington 
shall  goe  in  to  make  it  up  to  that.  This  is  my  last  will  I  have  here- 
unto set  to  my  hand  this  12  April,  1678.

2.  II.  1.  MOSES=  LYON  [RICHARD^]  was  born  in  Fairfield. 
Conn.,  about  1650.  His  wife's  name  was  Mary,  perhaps  Mary  Grum- 
man, since  in  Fairfield  T.  R.  he  is  spoken  of  as  brother-in-law  of 
John  Grumman,  but  this  may  mean  simply  that  John  Grumman  was 
husband  of  his  sister  Esther  (see  below). 

He  died  early  in  1698,  inventory  of  his  estate  being  returned  March

§There  lived  in  Norwalk  in  the  last  decade  of  the  Seventeenth  Century  an 
Andrew  Lyon  whose  antecedents  have  not  been  ascertained.  No  such  name 
occurs  among  the  children  of  either  of  the  three  "brothers,"  Richard,  Thomas 
and  Henry.  One  may  conjecture  that  he  was  related  to  the  other  Fairfield 
County  families,  but  it  is  mere  conjecture.  He  was  grantee  in  a  deed  of  land 
on  Mill  Brook,  grantor,  Samuel  Benedict,  of  Danbury,  deed  dated  Feb.  13,  1693. 
He  had  daughters:  1,  Mary;  b.  July  1,  1691,  and  2,  Jane;  b.  Oct.  11,  1707. 
Inventory  of  his  estate  dated  May  20,  1712;  estate  administered  Oct.  6,  1714. 
His  widow  Mary  married  (second  wife)  Aug.  17,  1712,  Joseph  Kellogg.  They 
had  two  sons,  David;  b.  Sept.  28,  1715,  and  Benjamin,  born  Sept.  26,  1716. 
[Joseph  Kellogg's  first  wife  was  Sarah  Plum,  daughter  of  John  Plum,  of  Mil- 
ford.  They  were  married  Nov.  25,  1702  and  had  five  children:  1.  Elizabeth,  b. 
Oct.  5,  1703;  2.  Sarah,  b.  April  5,  1706;  3.  Joseph,  b.  Sept.  26,  1707;  4.  Rachel, 
b.  July  15,  1710;  5,  Hanna,  b.  Aug.  1,  1712.  Sarah  (Plum)  Kellog  died  Aug. 
17,  1712.]  Mary  Kellogg  was  appointed  administratrix  of  the  estate  of  Andrew 
Lyon  deceased,  in  Oct.  1714  (Col.  Rec.  Conn.  V.  16).  It  is  reasonable  to  suppose 
that  Andrew  Lyon  had  descendants,  and  very  likely  that  some  of  the  uncon- 
nected names  given  in  succeeding  pages  as  probably  of  the  family  of  Richard 
belong  rather  to  his  hypothetical  family.  Mention  may  be  made  in  particular 
of  an  Andrew  Lyon  who  in  1790  was  one  of  the  first  pew  owners  in  the  first 
Episcopal  Church  In  Trumbull  near  Bridgeport,  and  not  far  from  Norwalk. 
Andrew  Lyon   (No.  160)   of  Norwalk  1793  seems  not  to  have  been  his  descendant. 

tJuly  5,  1699,  John  Edmunds  purchased  property  at  Fairfield,  formerly  be- 
longing to  Richard  Lyon  from  Richard  Lyon,  William  Lyon,  Samuel  Lyon, 
Joshua  Jennings,  Samuel  Smith,  William  Roberson  and  Esther  Grumman;  Nov. 
13,  1699,  Joshua  Jennings  purchased  property  at  Fairfield  of  Richard  Lyon, 
Samuel  Lyon,  William  Roberson,  Samuel  Smith  and  John  Downs  in  behalf  of 
Esther   Grumman,    deceased.

256  RICHARD    LYON    OF    FAIRFIELD 

2,  1698.  He  died  intestate  and  without  issue,  and  his  estate  was 
divided  April  11,  1699,  between  his  "widow  Mary,  his  brothers  Richard, 
Samuel  and  William  (Joseph  was  no  longer  living),  his  brothers-in- 
law  Joshua  Jennings,  William  Roberson  and  Samuel  Smith,  and  his 
Bister  Esther  Grumman." 

3.  II.     1.     RICHARD^  LYON  [RICHARD^]  was  born  in  Fairfield, 

Conn.,  about  1653.     He  married  Mary  ,  whose  maiden  name 

was  probably  Frye.  From  his  brother's  will  we  learn  that  his  land 
adjoined  that  of  Mihill  Frye,  from  whom  in  1676  he  received  a  legacy 
of  ten  shillings.  He  lived  in  Fairfield,  but  late  in  life  went  to  Redd- 
ing, where  he  died  in  January  1740,  ae.  87.  His  wife  was  a  charter 
member  of  the  Congregational  Church  organized  in  Redding  in  1729. 
He  united  with  the  same  Church  in  1733.  He  was  therefore  probably 
not  the  Richard  Lyon  spoken  of  by  Rev.  Dr.  Burhams  in  the  Church- 
man's Magazine  (1832)  as  the  first  churchman  in  Redding,  since  that 
Richard  was  said  to  be  "from  Ireland"  and  to  have  died  as  early  as 
1735.  Nathan  Lyon  was  also  a  Churchman;  is  it  possible  that  there 
were  two  Nathans  as  well  as  two  Richards?  The  writer  [A.  B.  L.] 
inclines  to  the  belief  that  the  Irish  Richard  is  a  myth,  although  open 
to  conviction  on  evidence.

Conn,  about  1660.  His  wife's  name  was  Phebe, — maiden  name  not

History  of  Fairfield  he  is  said  to  have  settled  at  Pequonnock,  (Green- 
field). In  1695,  according  to  Fairfield  Co.  Probate  record,  Joseph 
Lyon,  husband  of  Mary  Jackson,  daughter  of  Joseph  Jackson,  acknowl- 
edges the  receipt  of  his  wife's  legacy  from  his  father-in-law,  Joseph 
Seely,  who  married  the  administratrix  of  said  Jackson's  estate.  His 
widow  married  John  Bayley  before  Nov.  1700.  Inventory  of  his 
estate  presented  March  11,  1698,  shows  a  total  value  of  £280 — 13 — 2. 
Joseph  and  his  brother  Moses  must  have  died  about  the  same  time. 
His  minor  children  were  (1700)  under  the  guardianship  of  their  uncle, 
Samuel  Lyon,  who,  together  with  his  relict,  Mary  Bayley,  was  admin- 
istrator of  the  estate.

tJohn  Banks  settled  first  in  Windsor,  Conn.,  where  he  was  town  cleric  He 
came  later  to  Fairfield,  Conn.,  and  represented  that  place  in  the  General  Court, 
1651-61.  In  1670  he  was  one  of  the  proprietors  of  Rye,  N.  Y.,  and  was  Repre- 
sentative from  Rye  and  Fairfield,  as  late  as  Oct.  1684.  He  died  the  following 
year.  He  was  twice  married:  first  to  a  daughter  of  Charles  Taintor,  of  Wethers- 
fleld,  Conn.,  and  second  to  Mary,  daughter  of  Thomas  Fitch,  and  widow  of 
Thomas  Sherwood.  His  oldest  son,  John,  married  Abigail,  daughter  of  Thomas 
Lyon,  of  Rye,  while  his  youngest  son,  Benjamin,  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of

1710-1.  From  the  foregoing  it  appears  that  Samuel  Smith  was  three  times 
married. 


THIRD  GENERATION  259 

11.  III.  3.  SAMUEL'  LYON  [Richard',  Richard']  was  born  in 
Fairfield,  Conn.,  Dec.  27,  1688.  Nothing  is  positively  known  of  his 
history.  He  may  have  removed  to  Redding,  as  his  father  and  his 
brother  Nathan  certainly  did.  The  only  record  found  in  that  place 
which  could  relate  to  him  is  that  of  the  baptism  in  Aug.  1738,  of  a 
Samuel  Lyon,  son  of  Samuel.  This  might  possibly  be  a  son, — more 
likely  a  grand-son  of  this  Samuel.  Absence  of  other  records  in  Redd- 
ing malves  it  doubtful  whether  either  hypothesis  has  any  foundation 
in  fact.  The  name  of  Samuel  Lyon,  Jr.,  appears  in  a  list  of  the 
charter  members  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Greenfield  in  1726. 
Other  Lyon  names  in  the  list  are  John,  Joseph  and  Benjamin.  John 
was  no  doubt  a  brother  of  Samuel,  the  other  two  probably  cousins, 
although  one  or  both  may  have  been  brothers.  We  find  in  Fairfield 
a  Caleb  Lyon,  son  of  Samuel,  whose  father  could  not  have  been 
Samuel  Lyon  No.  22,  since  he  was  born  before  1718,  the  year  of  the 
marriage  of  the  latter.

parentage,  nor  have  we  any  further  record.  We  may,  however,  keep  the 
name  in  mind  in  connection  with  the  Abel  Lyon  who  lived  a  generation  later

He  married  in  Fairfield,  Aug.  7,  1718,  Sarah  Jennings,  and  he  and  his 
wife  [also  Benjamin  Lyon  and  wife  and  the  wife  of  Richard  Lyon]  were 
among  the  charter  members  of  the  Congregational  Church  of  Redd- 
ing (1729).  They  lived  in  the  south  eastern  part  of  the  town,  now 
Easton.  In  May  1725,  Daniel  Lyon  and  his  brother  Nathan  were 
petitioners  for  a  grant  of  land  in  Redding. 

Children  of  Daniel  and  Sarah    (Jennings)    Lyon:

Church;   res.   New  Marlboro,   Mass. 

*55.     VL     Timothy;  b.   Nov.   5,    1734    (Fairfield  T.   R.) 

56.  VII.  Jonathan;  b.  May  6,  1741;  mentioned  in  land  records  In  Redding 
1773  as  "brother  of  Gershom  Lyon,  Sr.",  and  as  "son  of  Daniel";  bapt.  in  Red- 
ding.  Cong.    Church,   May  31,   1741.      (Possibly  son   of  Daniel   Lyon  No.    50   q.   v.). 

16.  III.  3.  NATHAN^  LYON  [Richard%  Richard^]  was  born  in 
Fairfield,  Conn.,  Nov.  28,  1703,  and  died  in  Redding,  Nov.  21,  1757,  ae. 
54  (G.  R.) ;  buried  in  Redding  Ridge  Episcopal  Church  Cemetery. 
From  Land  Records  of  Redding  (II.  62)  it  is  learned  that  the  name  of 
his  wife  (widow)  was  Abigail.  In  1729  at  a  meeting  of  the  (Presby- 
terian) society  of  Redding,  Nathan  Lyon,  Moses  Knapp  and  Daniel 
Crofoot  made  strenuous  objections  to  the  "hiering"  of  any  other  than 
a  minister  of  the  Church  of  England.J  In  1738  these  same  names 
appear  in  a  list  of  seven  parishioners  of  Mr.  Beach. 

Children   of  Nathan    [and  Abigail]    Lyon:t 
•57.     I.     Peter;   m.    1753,    Abigail   Sherwood. 

58.  II.  John;  Redding  Land  Records  (II.  228;  V.  10,  11)  say  "gone  over 
to  enemy;    property   confiscated";    he   removed   to   Nova   Scotia. 

59.  III.  Joseph;  also  "went  over  to  the  enemy";  m.  May  21,  1761,  (E.  C. 
M.  I.  72)  Lois  Sanford,  daughter  of  Ephraim  and  Elizabeth  (Mix)  Sanford  (Fair- 
field T.  R.,  which  says  "Joseph  Lyon,  of  Redding,  son  of  Nathan")  Lois  (San- 
ford) Lyon  d.  Dec.  15,  1769,  ae.  27  y.  (G.  R.  Redding  Ridge  Episcopal  Ch.  Ceme- 
tery).    Joseph's  property  was   confiscated,    but   recovered  by  his  widow. 

•60.     IV.     David;  m.   1756,   Hannah   Sanford   (T.   R.) 

61.     V.     Eli;   joiner;   Taxed  in  Redding   1793. 


Jlf  this  Nathan  was  really  the  son  of  Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  it  would 
seem  practically  certain  that  the  latter  was  the  Richard  Lyon.  Churchman, 
spoken  of  by  Dr.  Burhams.  The  statement  that  that  Richard  died  "as  early 
as    1735"    lacks    as   yet    confirmation    of    documentary   evidence. 

tLand  Records  of  Redding  contain  the  foHowing  items:  1769  (II.  83,  (379) 
"sons  of  Nathan  Lyon.  Samuel,  Eli  and  John;"  1771  (I.  188,  218)  "sons  of  Nathan 
Lyon.  Sr.,  Capt.  Henry,  Eli,  David:"  (II.  53)  "daughter  of  Nathan,  Betty"; 
1773  (IL  131)  "sons  (of  Nathan)  Philo,  Henry.  Peter  and  David";  1775  (IL  132). 
In  the  division  of  the  estate  of  Nathan  "wife  Abigail,  and  sons.  Henry,  John, 
Peter  and  David."

266  RICHARD  LYON  OF  FAIRFIELD 

46.  IV.  13.  STEPHEN*  LYON  [Ebenezer*  (?)  Richard'.  Rich- 
ard']. The  question  of  his  parentage  remains  in  doubt.  A  Stephen 
Lyon  (son  of  Bbenezer  ?)  was  baptized  Nov.  17,  1717,  another  Stephen 
(son  of  Samuel,  No.  11  ?)  was  baptized  Feb.  15,  1724.  He  married  in 
Fairfield,  July  21,  1747,  Grace  Webb  (West  Farms  Ch.  Rec).  In 
Greenfield  Ch.  Rec.  we  find  the  entry:  Grace  Lyon,  died  Jan.  1774, 
ae.  "upwards  of  40  years."  This  may  or  may  not  refer  to  Grace 
(Webb)  Lyon.  No  further  record  has  been  found  of  Stephen  or  his 
wife,  but  it  seems  very  probable  that  Nehemiah  Webb  Lyon  was  their 
son. 

Children  of  Stephen  and  Grace  (Webb)  Lyon: 
•137.     I.      ?Nehemiah  Webb;  b.  Weston,  Conn.,  Aug.   16,  1749. 

138.  II.  ?Stephen.  [There  was  a  Stephen  Lyon,  Jr.,  private  In  the  same 
company  with  Nehemiah  Webb  Lyon]. 

48.  IV.  13.  EBBNEZBR*  LYON  [Ebenezer',  Richard^  Richard'] 
was  born  in  Fairfield,  Conn.  June  10,  1722,  and  died  in  Easton  Sept. 
3,  1801,  ae.  80.  (G.  R.  Rock  House  Cemetery).  He  (or  more  likely 
a  son  Ebenezer)  married  Martha  Lane,  daughter  of  John  Lane  (Red- 
ding Land  Records,  IV.  109). 

Daughter  of  Ebenezer  and  Martha   (Lane)   Lyon: 

139.  I.  Mary;  b.  1776;  d.  Feb.  23,  1802,  ae.  26  (G.  R.  Rock  House  Cem.). 
(If  Mary  was  really  daughter  of  Ebenezer  Lyon,  No.  48,  there  were  probably 
other  children). 

50.  IV.  14.  LIEUT.  DANIEL*  LYON  [Daniel',  Richard^  Rich- 
ard'] was  born  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  Aug.  11,  1719.  He  settled  in  Red- 
ding and  married  first  "Annah" who  died  soon  after  the  birth 

of  her  only  son,  Jacob.  He  married  second  Ruth  (Knapp)  Wheeler, 
widow  of  Seth  Wheeler,  and  daughter  of  Moses  Knapp.  In  Redding 
Land  Records  he  is  called  in  1769  (I.  8)  Daniel  Lyon,  Jr.,  (although 
this  may  possibly  refer  to  his  son  Daniel) ;  in  1772  (I.  12)  he  is  called 
Lieut.  Daniel  Lyon.  In  these  records  we  find  five  sons  named; 
Jabez  (II.  18,  467),  Gershom  (III.  152)  Daniel,  "his  third  child"  (I.  232), 
Jonathan  (III.  429),  and  Seth  (IV.  51).  In  a  deed  of  land  sold  to  him, 
Jacob  Lyon,  of  New  Ashford,  Mass.,  calls  him  "my  honored  father." 
Redding  Land  Records  mention  the  names,  Mabel,  Sarah,  Mary  and 
Huldah  in  such  a  connection  that  it  may  be  inferred  that  they  were 
daughters  of  Daniel. 

From  the  Colonial  Records  of  Connecticut  we  learn  that  Daniel 
Lyon  was  appointed  May  9,  1754,  ensign  of  Eastern  train  band,  parish 
of  Redding  (Vol.  X,  263).  March  17,  1756  he  was  appointed  second 
lieutenant  In  the  7th  Co.,  Capt.  David  Lacy,  (X.  473).      In  May,  1762 


FOURTH   GENERATION  267 

he  was  appointed  Lieutenant  of  train  band,  East  Division  of  Redding, 
In  the  4th  Regiment,  his  cousin  Henry  Lyon  (No.  63)  beng  appointed 
at  the  same  time  Ensign  (XIL  9).  In  Oct.  1768,  he  was  appointed 
Lieutenant  of  the  16th  Company,  11th  Regiment  (XIIL  98),  In  Oct. 
1769  he  was  appointed  Deputy  (i.  e.  representative)  for  Redding  (XIII. 
235).  He  appears  to  have  served  in  the  Revolutionary  war  with  the 
rank  of  Sergeant.  The  date  of  his  death  and  place  of  his  burial  have 
not  been  ascertained.

"in  75th  year"  (G.  R.);  buried  in  Rock  House  Cemetery.  He  was

tEll  Read  was  son  of  Zalmon  and  Hannah  Read,  of  Redding  [originally 
Reading].  It  is  likely  that  Zalmon  Lyon  of  a  later  generation  derived  his  given 
name  by  inheritance  or  otherwise  from  this  Zalmon  Read,  who  was  son  of 
Colonel  John  Read  of  Boston;  Colonel  John  being  himself  son  of  Hon.  John  Read, 
founder  of  the  New  England  family.     Ell  Read  died  In  Redding  in  1842.

57.  IV.  16.  PETER*  LYON  [Nathan',  Richa^d^  Richard']  was

1753,  Abigail  Sherwood  (Norwalk  T.  R.),  being  then  "of  Redding." 
Redding  Land  Records,  1784  (II.  439,  442,  III.  243)  speak  of  "Peter 
Lyon  2nd,  and  Abigail,  his  wife,"  and  give  "their  children.  Walker  Lyon, 
of  Flushing,  N.  Y.,  Asahel  (with  wife  Hannah),  Anne  (m.  Abel  Hill), 
Andrew  and  Betsey."  In  May  1770,  a  Peter  Lyon  was  appointed  En- 
sign of  a  Company  of  Militia  in  East  Division  of  Redding  (Col.  Rec. 
Conn.,  XIII.  295).  This  may  have  been  Peter  Lyon,  Jr.,  No.  162. 
The  following  year  Peter  was  made  Lieutenant  in  the  same  Company. 
We  read  (ibid  XV.  326)  that  later  he  was  called  to  account  for  re- 
fusal to  obey  orders.

t  It  is  the  belief  of  Miss  Sidney  E.  Lyon  that  this  Ephraim  was  the  Ephralm 
Lyon  who  settled  in  Ashford  in  eastern  Connecticut,  and  married  Esther  Bennett, 
and  was  the  grandfather  of  that  gallant  officer.  General  Nathaniel  Lyon.  An 
account  of  the  descendants  of  Ephraim  Lyon  of  Ashford  will  be  found  in  the 
"Lyon  Memorial,  Massachusetts  Families."  It  will  be  seen  there  that  there  Is 
some  uncertainty  about  the  ancestry  of  Ephraim  of  Ashford,  but  to  the  writer 
[A.  B.  L.]  it  seems  almost  certain  that  he  belonged  to  one  of  the  Lyon  families 
of  Windham  Co.,  descended  from  William  Lyon  of  Roxbury.  It  is  very  doubtful 
whether  he  was  a  son  of  Moses  Lyon,  of  Woodstock  and  Brimfleld.  More  likely 
he  may  have  been  son  of  Seth  Lyon  [Thomas',  Thomas^  William']  of  Ashford, 
who  had  no  recorded  children  born  between  1734  and  1741.  At  all  events  the 
Lyon   families   of  Windham   County   claim   General   Lyon   as   their  kin.

Richard^]  was  born  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  Oct.  21,  1739.  He  married  in 
Greenfield,  March  1,  1764,  Hannah  Meeker.  Nothing  has  been  as- 
certained about  their  descendants,  some  of  whom  may  very  likely  be 
among  the   "Related  Names",    (Nos.  252-267,  and  376-382.) 

(Note  that  the  records  of  this  Hezekiah  may  easily  have  become  confused

tThere  is  much  conjecture  in  the  above  account  of  the  ancestry  of  Nehemiah 
Webb  Lyon.  It  is  maintained  by  some  that  he  was  the  son  of  Gershom*  Lyon 
(Daniel',  Richard^,  Richard').     Nlther  line  is  fortified  with  documentary  proofs.

1879,    ae.    84. 

140.  V.  50.  JACOB'  LYON  [DanieP,  Daniel',  Richard^  Richard^] 
was  born  in  Redding,  Conn,  about  1740,  and  died  probably  in  New 
Ashford,  Mass.,  in  April  1776§.  His  will  was  probated  at  Pittsfield,  Mass., 
July  3,  1781.  It  mentions  only  "wife  Hannah."  On  March  2,  1784, 
Asahel  Gregory  was  appointed  guardian  of  Seth  Lyon,  minor  son  of 
Jacob  Lyon,  late  of  New  Ashford. 

Jacob  Lyon  was  one  of  the  pioneer  settlers  in  New  Ashford,  Mass.; 
he  bought  land  (200  acres)  north  of  Lanesboro,  from  Joseph  Dwight's 
executors;  deed  dated  April  25,  1770;  sold  150  acres  of  this  to  Jabez 
Lyon  of  Redding,  probably  his  half  brother;  deed  dated  Jan.  9,  1771; 
on  same  date  Jabez  deeds  again  50  acres  of  this  same  land  to  Hannah, 
wife  of  Jacob  Lyon. 

Jacob  Lyon  was  married  March  21,  1767,  at  Redding,  Conn.,  by 
Rev.  Nathaniel  Bartlett,  to  Hannah  Wheeler,  the  only  daughter  of 
Seth  and  Ruth  (Knapp)  Wheeler.}     She  was  born  at  Danbury,  Conn., 


t  Clarissa  (Lyon)  Rowell  had  a  daughter  Julia,  who  married  Hanson 
Bradley  and  had  a  daughter  Mary  Eliza  Bradley  (D.  A.  R. ),  who  became  the 
wife    of    Lewis   Van    Buren    Hubbard    (D.    A.    R.    Lineage    Book). 

§Jacob  Lyon  of  New  Ashford  had  a  double  in  the  person  of  Jacob  Lyon  of 
Gageboro,  who  died  in  the  Revolutionary  Army,  April  15,  1776.  This  Jacob 
was  born  in  Woodstock.  Windham  Co.,  Conn.,  Feb.  29,  1740,  a  descendant  of 
William  Lyon  of  Roxbury.  He  removed  to  Berkshire  Co.,  Mass.  in  1770,  set- 
tling in  Gageboro,  now  Winsor,  only  a  short  distance  from  Lanesboro.  The 
parallel  between  this  history  and  that  of  Jacob  of  Redding  and  New  Ashford 
is  remarkably  close;  for  completeness.  Jacob  of  New  Ashford  ought  to  have 
had  a  record   of  revolutionary  service,   as  his  kinsmen   in  Lanesboro  had. 

JThomas'  Wheeler  and  wife  Ann,  came  to  Concord,  Mass.,  with  several 
children  in  1638:  in  1644  he  removed  to  Fairfield,  Conn.,  where  he  was  one  of 
the  proprietors  of  the  township,  and  a  prominent  citizen.  He  died  there  in 
1654.      Will    dated   Jan.    16,    1653/4,    probated   Aug.    23,    1654. 

Sergeant  John=  Wheeler,  second  son  of  Thomas^,  was  probably  born  In 
England.  He  settled  at  Black  Rock,  where  he  owned  a  large  tract  of  land. 
He  was  representative  from  Fairfield,  Conn.,  in  1671,  '72  and  '77.  Among  his 
descendants  was  Vice  President  William  A.  Wheeler.  The  inventory  of  John 
W^heeler's  estate  was  filed  March  8,  16S9-90.  His  widow  left  a  will  dated 
Feb'y    21,     1702/3,     probated    March     24,     following. 

Joseph'  Wheeler,  son  of  John,  born  in  1674,  the  seventh  of  thirteen  chil- 
dren, married  Dec.  7,  1705,  Deborah  Nichols,  daughter  of  Ephraim  Nichols, 
of  Fairfield.  Will  dated  March  9,  1758;  probated  July  20,  1759.  His  widow 
and   five    children    survived    him. 

Seth*  Wheeler,  son  of  Joseph,  was  born  at  Fairfield,  Conn.,  March  26, 
1721.  He  married  Ruth  Knapp.  daughter  of  Moses  Knapp,  Oct.  27,  1746,  at 
Redding,  Conn.  He  died  in  1751,  and  his  widow  afterwards  married  Daniel 
Lyon    (No.    50)    of    Redding,    as    his   second    wife. 

Hannah, 5  only  daughter  of  Seth  and  Ruth  (Knapp)  Wheeler,  was  born  at 
Danbury,    Conn.,    March    17,    1747. 


FIFTH   GENERATION  277 

March  17,  1747,  and  died  at  Herrick,  Susquehanna  Co.,  Pa.,  Saturday, 
Dec.  16,  1837.  Early  left  a  widow,  she  married  again  William  Green, 
who  had  been  a  sailor  in  his  youth,  and  had  served  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary War.  They  had  three  sons:  John,  William  and  Lazarus, 
and  two  daughters,  Esther,  who  died  young,  and  Mabel,  who  married 
William  Holmes  and  emigrated  to  Michigan  or  Ohio.  William  Green 
died  at  Clifford,  Pa.,  in  1810.  Hannah  married  for  her  third  husband 
about  1819,  in  Lima,  N.  Y.,  a  Mr.  Jerome,  who  died  the  following 
year.  She  died  at  Herrick,  Susquehanna  Co.,  Pa.,  Saturday,  Dec.  16, 
1837,  and  is  buried  in  the  Lyon  burying  ground  there  by  the  side  of 
her  son,  Walter  Lyon.    William  Green  is  also  buried  there.

surrender  of  Burgoyne,  Oct.  17,  1777.  This  he  recites  in  an  applica- 
tion for  a  pension  Aug.  11,  1832.  The  pension  was  granted  but  he 
was  then  advanced  in  years  and  did  not  live  long  to  benefit  by  it. 
He  married  May  10,  1769,  Thankful  Russica  (E.  C.  M.  VI.  65)  She 
was  born  in  1752,  and  died  at  Lima,  N.  Y.  in  August,  1809.  She  was

to  escape  religious  persecutions.  Thomas  Lyon  married  a  second 
wife  whose  maiden  name  was  Green.  There  were  no  children  by  this 
marriage.    His  widow  married Jerome.

204.  V.  91.  DOCTOR  JOHN"  LYON  [John*,  John^  Samuel', 
Richard"]  was  born  in  Fairfield,  Conn,  (according  to  one  record  in 
Danbury,  Conn.),  April  19,  1756,  and  died  before  Dec.  1799.  He  went 
with  his  brother  to  Massachusetts,  making  his  home  in  Lanesboro. 
In  his  father's  will  in  1793,  he  is  said  to  be  "of  New  Milford."  He 
served,  as  his  brothers  Jabez  and  Kimberley  did,  in  the  Revolutionary 
war.  He  was  a  private  in  Capt.  Asa  Barnes'  Company,  Col.  Benjamin 
Ruggles  Woodbridge's  Regiment;  enlisted  May  25,  1775;  service  two 
months  and  eight  days.  In  1777  he  joined  the  Company  of  Capt. 
David  Wheeler.  According  to  the  report  of  the  Bureau  of  Pensions, 
dated  April  29,  1905,  he  was  in  the  Battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  He  was 
probably  twice  married,  but  no  record  has  been  found  of  the  first 
marriage.  According  to  the  aforesaid  Report  of  the  Bureau  of  Pen- 
sions, he  married  Jan.  1,  1786,  at  Lanesboro,  Mass.,  Sarah  Lockwood, 
who,  as  his  widow,  applied  for  a  pension  Aug.  19,  1843,  being  then 
73  years  of  age,  and  living  in  Moriah,  Essex  Co.,  N.  Y.  According  to 
the  same  Report,  John  Lyon  died  at  Moriah,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  7,  1817.  Thl9 
does  not  agree  with  the  statement  above,  which  is  believed  to  be 
correct.  No  record  has  been  found  of  the  descendants  of  Doctor 
John  Lyon. 


282  RICHARD  LYON  OF  FAIRFIELD 

205.  V.  91,  KIMBERLEY°  LYON  [JohnS  John',  SamueP,  Rich-

was  living  in  Lanesboro,  Mass.  during  the  Revolutionary  war,  in 
which  he  took  an  active  part.  He  enlisted  July  22,  1779  as  private 
in  Capt.  Samuel  Clark's  Company,  and  served  1  month  and  12  days 
at  New  Haven,  Conn.  His  name  appears  in  a  list  of  men  raised  for 
six  months  service  in  July  1780,  and  he  served  again  in  Oct.  1781  in 
Timothy  Read's  Company;  marched  from  Lanesboro  to  Stillwater;

wife's  name  is  given  as  Abigail.  It  is  fair  to  conclude  that  this  was

288  RICHARD  LYON  OF  FAIRFIELD 

In  the  history  of  Susquehanna  Co.,  Pennsylvania,  by  Miss  Em  ; 
Blackman,  the  following  may  be  found:  "Walter  Lyon  came  from 
New  Ashford,  Mass.,  in  1792  with  his  wife  and  one  child,  on  a  rudely 
fashioned  sled;  a  yoke  of  steers  and  an  ax.  His  step-father,  William 
Green,  drove  a  heifer  and  carried  a  pair  of  steelyards,  all  their  worldly 
effects.  Walter  Lyon  bought  of  John  Clifford  400  acres  of  land,  on 
which  he  afterwards  built  in  1814  the  large  house  in  which  he  lived  and 
died.  Joining  this  tract  he  bought  100  acres  of  William  Poyntell,  a 
land  holder,  who  died  in  1811  in  Philadelphia.  He  paid  for  all  this 
land  by  lumbering  on  the  Deleware.  He  also  had  200  acres  additional. 
He  had  five  sons  to  each  of  whom  he  gave  a  fine  farm."  In  early 
times  Walter  Lyon  was  obliged  to  take  his  grain  to  Great  Bend  to 
be  ground,  carrying  it  on  his  back  to  and  fro,  a  distance  of  nearly 
thirty  miles.  Once  when  the  water  was  low  he  waited  three  weeks 
for  his  grist  and  hired  out  to  husk  corn.  In  the  meantime  his  family 
had  only  potatoes  and  milk  to  live  upon,  and  were  in  great  fear  for 
his  safety,  as  his  route  lay  through  forests  then  traversed  by  bears, 
panthers  and  wolves,  and  broken  only  by  a  few  clearings.  He  was  an 
active  man  in  town  and  county  affairs,  being  Justice  of  the  Peace,  a 
Major  in  the  76th  Regiment,  Pennsylvania  Militia  and  a  County  Com- 
missioner, besides  being  often  entrusted  with  other  public  business. 
He  went  on  foot  to  attend  court  at  Wilkesbarre  before  the  organization 
of  Susquehanna  County. 

Children    of    Walter    and    Mary    (Bishop)    Lyon,    all    but    the    first    born    prob-

the  pioneer  days.  Once  she  started  to  get  a  pail  of  water  from  the 
spring  under  the  big  beech  tree  (on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Walter 
S.  Lyon,  great-grandson  of  Walter,  No.  280).  Hannah  was  carrjang 
one  of  her  little  brothers  on  her  back  and  leading  another,  the  water 
pail  in  the  other  hand.  It  was  all  woods  there  then  and  only  the  path 
to  the  spring.  Hannah  saw  an  old  bear  and  two  cubs  in  her  path,  but 
she  did  not  run  and  scream,  but  shook  her  water  pail  at  the  bear 
and  said  "shoo!".  The  cubs  ran  into  the  woods,  and  after  a  few 
growls  the  old  bear  followed  them.  Hannah  then  went  on  after  the 
water.

Thomas^  John*,  John',  SamueP,  Richard']  was  born  in  Lima,  N.  Y.,  Jan. 
23,  1813;  died  South  Haven,  Mich.,  Feb.  6,  1900.  He  came  with  his 
parents  while  yet  a  school  boy,  to  Plymouth,  Mich.  After  teaching 
School,  and  helping  to  construct  and  manage  a  railroad  he  became 
interested  in  experimental  horticulture,  and  this  became  his  life  work. 
His  first  experiments  were  made  at  Monroe,  Mich.,  but  later  he  located 
in  the  fruit  belt  of  Western  Michigan,  and  there,  on  a  ten  acre  tract  of 
Bandy  land,  he  carried  on  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  his 
studies  in  pomology,  becoming  one  of  the  highest  authorities  In 
America  in  this  specialty.  In  1892  the  state  of  Michigan  rented  and 
made  a  sub-station  of  Mr.  Lyon's  plot,  and  the  citizens  of  South  Haven 
bought  and  donated  to  the  state  five  acres  adjoining  it.  Mr.  Lyon  was 
able  thus  to  pursue  his  studies  to  better  advantage,  the  Stat©  providing 
for  the  publication  of  his  valuable  annual  reports.  He  had  under 
observation  more  than  1500  varieties  of  fruits,  and  his  reports  as  to 
the  vigor,  productiveness,  hardiness,  etc.  of  each,  are  invaluable  to 
the  fruit  grower.  Mr.  Lyon  was  employed  also  by  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture  to  make  a  complete  list  of  the  names  and 
synonyms  of  every  variety  of  fruit  cultivated  in  America — a  work  for 
which  his  wide  practical  knowledge  of  the  subject  preeminently  fitted 
him. 

He  married  Dec.  6,  1838,  Marilla  Gregory,  born  April  9,  1819, 
daughter  of  William  Sherwood  and  Lydia  Perrin  Gregory.  They  had 
no  children.

590.  VIII.  415.  EUGENE  EMMETT'  LYON  [Walte^^  Walter', 
Jacob^  Daniel*,  DanieP,  Richa^d^  Richard']  was  born  at  Herrick,  Pa., 
Oct.  30,  1840.  He  gave  promise  when  young  of  being  a  man  of  note. 
His  memory  was  remarkable.  His  mother  says  that  when  he  was 
three  years  of  age  he  could  repeat  the  Ten  Commandments  and  many 
other  portions  of  Scripture.  He  had  read  the  Bible  through  before 
he  was  eight  years  old,  and  so  thoroughly  had  he  studied  it  that  If 
a  text  was  read  to  him  he  could  tell  the  Book  in  the  Bible  where  it  was 
found,  and  in  most  instances,  the  chapter.  He  was  considered  when  a 
young  man,  the  finest  historian  in  Northeastern  Pennsylvania,  and 
he  was  an  orator  of  remarkable  magnetic  influence  and  eloquence. 
Failure  of  health,  brought  on  by  over-study  was  the  cause  of  his 
giving  up  the  practice  of  the  law  when  nearly  ready  to  be  admitted 
to  the  bar.  He  was  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  several  terms.  He  mar- 
ried, Oct.  15,  1876,  Emeline  (Burdick)  Burns,  widow  of  Homer  Burns. 
He  died  March  26,  1885.

quehanna Co.,  Pa.,  April  24,  1848.  As  a  young  man  he  entered  the 
employ  of  a  large  publishing  house,  becoming  a  member  of  the  firm 


324  RICHARD    LYON    OF    FAIRFIELD 

at  the  age  of  twenty-four.  In  1872  he  opened  a  branch  at  Guelph 
in  Canada,  and  that  place  has  ever  since  been  his  home.  In  1873 
he  sold  out  his  interests  in  the  United  States,  and  secured  full  con- 
trol of  the  business  in  Canada,  which  he  pushed  with  characteristic 
energy  and  with  most  gratifying  success.  He  became  soon  the  largest 
individual  publisher  in  Canada.  In  1884,  according  to  official  reports, 
forty  per  cent,  of  the  total  manufactured  goods  exported  from  Toronto, 
wh'ere  his  publishing  plant  was  located,  were  his  publications.  He 
established  branches  of  his  business  in  Australia,  South  Africa,  South 
America  and  in  the  East  and  the  West  Indies,  and  has  sent  out  to 
these  countries  as  his  agents  more  than  five  hundred  men  from  On- 
tario. 

In  1892  he  opened  a  wholesale  furniture  business  in  Buffalo,  N.  Y., 
which  within  two  years  thereafter,  disposed  of  the  output  of  eight 
large  factories.  Mr.  Lyon  has  always  had  unbounded  faith  in  Canada. 
In  the  early  eighties  he  employed  Prof.  Macoun,  Dominion  Govern- 
ment Botanist  and  explorer  of  the  Northwest,  to  write  a  book  on 
that  country,  which  he  published,  and  which,  by  disseminating  authen- 
tic information  about  this  hitherto  almost  unknown  region,  has  done 
much  to  develop  its  business  possibilities.  Mr.  Lyon  himself  made 
large  investments  in  lands  in  Winnipeg,  Port  Arthur,  Fort  William  and 
the  farming  regions  of  Manitoba,  worth  today  many  hundred  times 
the  original  purchase  price.  The  large  fortune  he  has  acquired  is 
the  legitimate  reward  of  untiring  energy,  directed  by  rare  business 
sagacity,  with  no  sugg-estion  of  the  taint  of  unfair  dealing  or  sharp 
practices.  Mr.  Lyon  has  now  practically  retired  from  active  business, 
and  aside  from  looking  after  his  real  estate  investments,  devotes  his 
time  largely  to  municipal  and  other  public  matters.  He  is  President 
of  the  Guelph  Radial  Railway  Company,  Director  of  the  Guelph 
Junction  Railway,  Vice-President  of  the  Board  of  Trade,  Director  of 
the  Home  Life  Insurance  Company  of  Toronto,  etc.  He  is  also  an 
Alderman  of  the  City  of  Guelph. 

He  married,  Dec.  4,  1873,  Lucy  Boult,  born  July  30,  1852,  daughter 
of  Stephen!  and  Sarah  (Jeffries)  Boult  of  Guelph,  Ont.

NATHANIEL  LYON, 

OF  WARREN,  CONN. 

NATHANIEL  LYONf,  whose  home  in  Connecticut  was  for  some 
years  in  Warren,  Litchfield  Co.  would  seem  to  have  been  most  pro- 
bably a  descendant  of  Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  presumably  in  the 
fourth  generation.  He  may  have  been  Nathaniel*  (No,  67)  [Nathan- 
iel', William',  Richard^]  born  Fairfield,  Dec.  28,  1710,  or  Nathaniel* 
(No.  76)  Benjamin',  William',  Richard^]  bapt.  Fairfield,  Aug.  8,  1726, 
or  he  may  have  been  a  son  of  the  former  of  these. 

One  of  these  two  was  probably  the  Nathaniel  Lyon  of  Stratford, 
who  had  a  daughter  Rebecca  Wilcoxson,  born  Dec.  5,  1751,  his  wife's 
name  being  Anna  (Hist.  Stratford  and  Bridgeport).  It  is  not  im- 
possible that  Nathaniel  came  from  one  of  the  Windham  Co.  families, 
among  which  we  find  the  names  Ebenezer,  Nathaniel,  and  Spencer, 
but,  although  there  were  migrations  from  Windham  Co.  to  Western 
Massachusetts  and  Vermont  as  early  as  1750,  the  name  Merritt,  so 
constantly  recurring  in  this  family  points  almost  certainly  to  Fairfield 
rather  than  Windham  County.  Nathaniel  Lyon  married  Sally  Mer- 
rimant,  said  to  have  been  "born  in  Connecticut."  They  lived  for  a 
time  in  Warren,  Conn.,  but  finally  removed  to  Lebanon,  Madison  Co., 
N.  Y. 

Children  of  Nathaniel  and  Sally  (Merrlman)  Lyon;  the  first  three  said  to 
have   been   born   In   Warren,    Conn. :

tTo    Nathaniel    Lyon   of   Warren   Is   assigned   the   arbitrary   number   1500. 

tThe  fact  that  Ebenezer  Lyon,  son  of  Nathaniel,  went  to  Wallingford,  Vt.. 
makes  it  very  probable  that  Sally  Merriman  was  of  the  Merriman  family  of 
Wallingford,  Conn.,  whence  the  colony  went  which  founded  the  Vermont  settle- 
ment of  the  same  name  (1761):  Capt.  Nathaniel  Merriman  (1613-1693)  was  one 
of  the  original  settlers  in  Wallingford,  Conn.  It  may  be  noted  that  his  son 
John  married  Hannah  Lines  of  New  Haven.  Sarah  Merriman,  born  Jan.  28, 
1742,  daughter  of  Samuel'  [Samuel',  Nathaniel']  and  Sarah  Wilcher,  may  have 
been  the  Sally  Merriman  who  married  Nathaniel  Lyon. 

There  were  at  least  three  other  Sarahs,  cousins  of  the  one  Just  mentioned, 
but  ten  to  twenty  years  older,  the  name  being  apparently  a  favorite  one  in  the 
family.  There  was  in  Wallingford,  Conn,  a  family  of  Spencers,  which  may  have 
something  to  do  with  the  name  of  Nathaniel's  oldest  son.

Wallingford,  Vt.,  about  1784,  Chloe  Jackson,  born  in  Wallingford,  Jan. 
21,  1766.  They  lived  in  Wallingford  until  about  1796,  when  they 
moved  to  Nelson,  Madison  Co.,  N,  Y.  He  died  April  4,  1829.  She

tone  may  suspect  from  this  date  that  in  this  record  two  families  have  been 
confounded.  Nathaniel  indeed  may  have  been  twice  married,  but  it  Is  perhaps 
equally  possible  that  some  of  the  above  were  his  grand  thildren.  It  Is  said 
that   Nathan,   Nathaniel   and  Ira  settled  in  Ohio. 

The  name  "Merritt"  suggests  immediately  some  connection  with  Greenwich, 
Conn.,  or  Rye,  N.  Y.,  and  the  same  name  occurs  again  among  descendants  of 
Ebenezer. 

tit  is  stated  in  Hammond's  History  of  Madison  Co..  that  Jabez  Lyon  of 
Nelson  was  commissioned  Lieutenant  of  Militia  In  1807.  From  this  It  would 
appear  that  Ebenezer  was  not  the  only  Lyon  who  came  to  Madison  County;  It 
Is    probable    that    Jabez    and    Ebenezer    were    related.

Pratt  of  New  Bedford,  Mass.  (or  of  Hartford,  Conn.),  and  went  as  a 
pioneer  into  the  wilds  of  Alleghany  County.  They  lived  there  at  first 
in  a  log  cabin,  with  blankets  hung  up  in  place  of  doors.  Often  the 
deer,  fleeing  from  wolves,  would  rush  into  the  cabin  seeking  protec- 
tion from  the  friendly  occupants.  Mrs.  Lyon  lived,  in  those  years 
(about  the  time  of  the  war  of  1812)  in  constant  fear  of  savage  Indians. 
Mr.  Lyon  became  finally  county  judge  in  Alleghany  Co.

WILLIAM  LYON, 

OF  NEW  HAVEN,  CONN. 

The  ancestry  of  William  Lyon  of  Boston  and  New  Haven  (clrc. 
1695-1743)  has  not  yet  been  ascertained,  but  he  was  almost  certainly 
not  of  either  of  the  Fairfield  families.  It  is  likely  that  he  belonged 
to  one  of  the  Dorchester  families,  or  possibly  even  may  have  been 
a  grandson  of  William  of  Roxbury.  Boston  records  give  us  the  fact 
of  his  marriage,  Dec.  9,  1714,  to  Experience  Hayward  [Howard],  and 
note  the  birth  of  three  children:  1.  William,  born  April  10,  1716; 
2.  Many,  born  Dec.  16,  1717;  3.  Experience,  born  March  8,  1719.  We 
find  him  some  years  later,  probably  about  1730-35,  the  purchaser  of 
a  part  of  the  old  homestead  of  Samuel  Gilbert  of  New  Haven  (d.  1721). 
He  was  a  tailor,  and  it  is  stated  that  he  was  the  first  Lyon  to  cqme 
to  New  Haven.  The  children  who  came  with  him  to  New  Haven  were 
William  and  Experience.  After  the  death  of  the  first  William,  the 
old  house  was  occupied  for  a  time  by  the  widow  and  her  two  children. 
In  1747  it  was  sold  to  Silence  Hayward,  evidently  a  sister  of  Exper- 
ience. In  1754  it  was  purchased  by  John  Brainerd  who  had  become 
the  husband  of  Experience  Lyon.  John  Brainerd,  born  at  Haddam, 
Conn.,  Feb.  28,  1722,  son  of  Hon.  Hezeklah  and  Dorothy  (Mason) 
Brainerd,  was  a  younger  brother  of  David  Brainerd,  the  devoted  mis- 
sionary to  the  Indians.  John  was  a  graduate  of  Yale  College  1746. 
After  the  death  of  David  (1747)  John  succeeded  him,  laboring  with 
equal  zeal  and  success,  albeit  under  great  discouragements,  in  the 
same  field  in  New  Jersey.  He  afterwards  preached  in  Newark,  and 
elsewhere  in  New  Jersey,  settling  finally  in  Deerfleld,  where  he  died 
March  18,  1781.  Experience  (Lyon)  Brainerd  had  died  many  years 
before  (1757),  and  shortly  afterwards  two  of  their  three  children.    The 

third,  Mary  Brainerd,  married  Dr. Ross  of  New  Jersey.    John 

Brainerd  married  a  second  wife,  a  widow,  Mrs.  Experience  Price,  who 
survived  him  and  died  in  1793.    They  had  no  children. 

William  Lyon,  son  of  William  and  Experience  Hayward  Lyon, 
married,  April  24,  1747,  Lois  Mansfield  and  was  father  of  Col.  William 
Lyon,  born  March  6,  1748;  d.  Oct.  12,  1830  (G.  R.  New  Haven  Ceme- 
tery), who  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  Revolutionary  history  of  New 
Haven,  and  later  became  president  of  the  New  Haven  Bank. 


HON.  LUCIUS  LYON, 

OF  MICHIGAN. 

Without  attempting  to  settle  the  question  of  the  ancestry  of  this 
eminent  mant,  we  offer  here  a  brief  sketch  of  his  life.  He  was  bom 
In  Shelburne,  Vt.  Feb.  26,  1800;  son  of  Asa  Lyon  a  farmer  but  a  man 
highly  esteemed  in  the  community  in  which  he  lived.  [Note  that  Rev. 
Asa  Lyon  of  South  Hero,  Vermont,  married  a  Shelburne  lady  and  was 
a  contemporary  of  this  Asa].  Hi's  mother  was  Sarah  Atwater,  daugh- 
ter of  Ambrose  Atwater  of  Wallingford,  Conn.  Lucius  studied  engin- 
eering and  land  surveying  in  Burlington,  Vt.  At  the  age  of  twenty 
two  he  went  to  Detroit,  Mich.,  and  was  appointed  by  the  U.  S.  Surveyor 
General  one  of  his  deputies  for  the  district  northwest  of  the  Ohio. 
He  was  elected  delegate  from  the  Territory  of  Michigan  to  U.  S. 
Congress  and  served  as  long  as  Michigan  remained  a  territory. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  convention  called  to  form  a  constitution  for 
the  new  State.  He  was  particularly  active  in  the  convention  in  se- 
curing the  adoption  of  those  provisions  by  which  public  lands  were 
set  apart  to  secure  a  permanent  -endowment  for  the  educational  in- 
stitutions of  the  State.  He  was  elected  by  the  first  State  Legislature 
Senator  in  Congress  and  served  in  that  capacity  until  1839  when  he 
removed  his  residence  to  Grand  Rapids  and  devoted  himself  to  devel- 
oping the  natural  resources  of  that  part  of  the  state.  Subsequently 
he  was  appointed  by  President  Polk  U.  S.  Surveyor  General  for  the 
States  of  Ohio,  Michigan  and  Indiana,  his  office  to  be  located  In 
Detroit  as  a  condition  of  acceptance.  He  was  always  actively  Inter- 
ested in  public  affairs,  and  was  one  of  the  first  Board  of  Regents  ap- 
pointed by  Governor  Mason  in  1837.  In  his  earlier  days  he  was  one 
of  those  interested   in  the  Detroit  Hydraulic   Company  which  held 


tJonathan  Lyon,  probably  No.  141,  came  to  Shelburne,  Vt.  In  1788,  from 
Bedding,  Conn.,  with  sons  Robert  and  WlUlam  and  three  daughters.  Jonathan 
died  In  the  spring  of  1791.  Asa  may  possibly  have  been  his  son.  It  Is  perhaps 
more  likely  that  he  was  No.  154,  a  cousin  of  Jonathan.  We  know  that  brothers 
of  both  Jonathan  and  Asa  settled  in  Berkshire  Co.,  Mass.  The  Rev.  Asa  Lyon 
from  VVoodstock,  Conn.,  who  settled  in  South  Hero,  Vt.,  1795,  was  of  an 
entirely  different  family,  and  is  mentioned  In  this  connection  merely  to  say  that 
he  could  not  have  been  the  father  of  Lucius.  Lucius  Lyon  was  the  oldest  son 
\n  a  family  of  seven  children.  It  Is  stated  that  his  ancestral  line  in  Connec- 
ticut runs  back  to  the  earliest  days  of  the  New  Haven  Colony.  For  a  detailed 
account  of  his  life,  see  Mich.  Pioneer  Collections,  Vol.  XIII.

a  franchise  for  supplying  the  city  with  water.  The  plant  of  the  com- 
pany was  purchased  by  the  City  in  1836.  In  Grand  Rapids,  Lyon 
Street  was  named  in  his  honor.  Lucius  Lyon  remained  a  bachelor, 
sharing  his  home  in  his  later  y^ears  with  a  maiden  sister.  He  died 
In  Detroit,  Sept.  24,  1851. 


LYON  PIONEERS  IN  MICHIGAN. 


The  name  Lyon  appears  first  in  Michigan,  so  far  as  known  to  the 
writer,  about  1780,  when  there  was  at  the  military  post  at  Michlll 
Mackinac  a  Benjamin  Lyon,  of  whose  antecedents,  however,  nothing 
kas  been  ascertained.  He  seems  not  to  have  become  a  permanent  resi- 
dent in  Michigan. 

In  1822  Lucius  Lyon  came  to  the  territory  from  Vermont,  as  has 
already  been  stated.  He  was  almost  certainly  of  the  family  of 
Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  Four  years  later  Timothy  Lyon  of  the 
same  family  (No.  321  of  the  foregoing  record)  came  to  Plymouth,  Mich., 
from  New  York  State.  Next,  about  1830,  Samuel  Lyon,  a  descendant 
of  Thomas  Lyon  of  Rye,  came  from  New  York  to  Ann  Arbor.  Some 
of  his  descendants  still  live  in  Michigan,  at  Scio,  St.  John's  and  else- 
where. 

Some  descendants  of  William  Lyon  of  Roxbury  have  settled  In 
Michigan — none  at  any  very  early  date.  Among  them  may  be  men- 
tioned particularly  Emerson  Lyon  (No.  764)  who  settled  in  Jackson, 
and  Royal  C.  Lyon  (No.  1009)  who  came  to  Bengal  1853.  The  family 
of  Henry  Lyon  was  represented  by  Isaac  Lyon  (No.  727  In  the  record), 
at  one  time  prominently  engaged  in  the  lumber  industry  of  the  state 
From  New  York  State,  of  unknown  ancestry,  came  Clorinda  Lyon 
died  Summit,  Jackson  Co.,  Nov.  20,  1899,  ae.  87  y.,  and  (about  1856) 
three  sons  and  a  married  daughter  of  Daniel  Lyon  of  Walworth, 
Wayne  Co.  (See  Lyon  memorial,  Mass.  Families,  p.  313.)  Of  Horatio 
Lyon,  who  died  at  Eagle,  Clinton  Co.,  Aug.  21,  1887.  ae.  82,  having 
lived  at  Eagle  more  than  40  years,  nothing  is  known  to  the  writer. 

J.  B.  Lyon,  an  old  resident  of  Flint,  Mich.,  who  died  about  1906 
was  of  a  Vermont  family  whose  origin  has  not  been  traced,  descended 
perhaps  from  Richard.      The  family  removed  about  1790-1800  to  New

York  State,  settling  mostly  in  Ontario  Co.  There  was  six  brothers: 
1.  Simeon,  settled  at  Naples,  N.  Y.,  and  died  there;  2.  Alanson,  also 
died  in  Naples;  3.  Justus,  died  at  Clymer,  Cataraugus  Co.,  N.  Y.;  4. 
Jonathan,  removed  finally  to  Illinois,  and  died  there;  5.  Joshua,  came 
to  Naples  about  1800  and  died  there;  6,  Oliver,  died  in  Richmond, 
Ontario  Co.,  N.  Y.  There  were  also  several  sisters  who  came  to  New 
York  State.  The  parents,  names  not  ascertained,  died  also  in  Naples, 
N.  Y.  The  youngest  son  of  Joshua,  J.  B.  Lyon,  born  Nov.  1819,  came 
as  a  pioneer  to  Michigan  and  settled  in  Flint. 

There  remain  for  more  extended  notice  three  prominent  names 
belonging  to  a  Lyon  family  of  Shelburne  Vt.,  from  which  place  also 
Hon.  Lucius  Lyon  came.  Presumably  these  were  of  the  family  of 
Richard  Lyon  of  Fairfield,  yet  the  evidence  is  inconclusive.  We  know 
that  In  1788,  a  Jonathan  Lyon  with  sons  Robert  and  William,  also  four 
daughters,  came  to  Shelburne  from  Redding,  Conn.  This  was  no  doubt 
No,  141  of  the  foregoing  record. 

Another  Lyon,  Timothy,  came  to  Shelburne  as  early  as  1795.  That 
name  was  not  uncommon  in  the  family  of  Richard  Lyon,  yet  this 
particular  Timothy  has  not  been  identified.  Very  possibly  he  may 
have  been  Timothy  of  Lanesboro,  Mass.,  No.  156.  The  Lyons  who 
came  to  Michigan  were  of  this  family.  § 

TIMOTHY  LYON  married  Mary  Hawley.  Among  his  children  were: 
1.  Truman  Hawley,  born  Shelburne,  Feb.  24,  1801  and  2.  Edward, 
born  Shelburne,  June  12,  1805.  Truman  Hawley  Lyon  came  to  Lyons, 
Michigan  1836.  He  kept  a  hotel  in  that  place,  became  a  Justice  of 
the  Peace  and  held  other  local  oflices.  He  was  superintendent  of 
light  houses  on  Lake  Michigan,  and  let  contracts  for  their  construction. 
In  1840  he  went  to  Grand  Rapids,  where  he  kept  a  hotel  and  was  a 
merchant  and  for  many  years  post-master.  He  was  State  Senator  1853. 
Died  Sept.  14,  1872.  His  wife,  whose  maiden  name  was  Lucinda 
Farnham,  survived  him,  and  a  few  years  ago  was  still  living,  ae.  91. 
Judge  Truman  H.  Lyon  had  seven  sons  and  one  daughter. 

EDWARD  LYON,  son  of  Timothy  and  Mary  (Hawley)  Lyon,  in 
his  early  years  was  engaged  in  the  steam  boat  business  on  Lake  Cham- 


SAsa  Lyon,  father  of  Lucius  may  have  beea  No.  154.  This  would  fall  m 
with  the  hypothesis  that  the  Timothy  Lyon  who  also  went  to  Shelburne,  Vt., 
wa«  No.   156,  as  suggested  In  the  text.

plain.t  He  went  to  Cleveland  about  1833  and  kept  the  best  hotel  In 
that  city  for  several  years.  In  1836  he  came  to  Detroit  and  thence 
to  Ionia  County,  Mich.,  where  he  founded  the  town  of  Lyons.  In  1840 
he  returned  to  Detroit  and  bought  the  National  Hotel,  where  after- 
wards stood  the  Russell  House,  and  now  Us  successor,  the  Pontchar- 
train.  This  he  kept  six  years,  after  which  he  assumed  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Michigan  Exchange,  and  for  forty  years  maintained  there 
the  reputation  he  had  won  of  realizing  the  ideal  host. 

JAMES  D.  LYON,  eldest  son  of  Judge  Truman  H.  Lyon  was  bom 
in  Livingston  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  15,  1825.  He  came  to  Michigan  in 
1836.  He  was  deputy  Post-master  in  Grand  Rapids  1861-1865;  Constable 
1852,  Assessor  1856,  City  Treasurer  1869,  City  Marshal  1872.  In  1848 
he  established  a  book  and  stationery  business  in  Grand  Rapids,  A 
brother,  C.  D.  Lyon,  is  of  the  firm  Eaton,  Lyon  &  Co.  Another 
brother,  Farnham  Lyon,  keeps  the  Bancroft  House  in  Saginaw. 

TRUMAN  HAWLEY  LYON,  JR.,  another  son  of  Judge  Truman  H. 
Lyon,  was  born  at  Parishville,  St.  Lawrence  Co.,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  24,  1826. 
In  1836  the  family  moved  to  Michigan.  He  was  in  Detroit  1847-1850, 
with  his  uncle,  in  Michigan  Exchange  Hotel;  returned  to  Grand  Rapids 
and  was  in  drug  business  there  1859-1861;  in  1870  became  proprietor 
of  Sweet's  Hotel.  He  married  first,  Nov.  1851,  at  Grand  Rapids,  Miss 
Delia  Morton,  daughter  of  Russell  Morton.  They  had  two  children. 
He  married  second  Miss  Eliza  Blair  of  Grand  Rapids,  sister  of  James 
Blair,  Esq.,  and  by  her  had  one  daughter. 


tDan  Lyon,  of  Burlington,  was  for  nearly  twenty  years  (18  25-184'J)  Captain 
of  one  or  another  of  five  passenger  steamers  that  ran  on  Lake  Champlaln. 
between  Burlington  and  Plattsburgh,  and  won  the  admiration  of  travellers  of 
that  day.     It  is  likely  that  he  was  of  the  same  family  as  Edward.

REV.  PHILIP  LYON,  who  was  settled  at  one  time  In  NapoU, 
Chautauqua  Co.,  N.  Y.,  is  believed  by  his  grandson,  Ernest  Neal  Lyon. 
to  have  been  of  the  family  of  Richard,  of  Fairfield.  The  belief  aeema 
to  have  no  definite  foundation,  since  it  postulates  also  kinship  with 
both  General  Nathaniel  Lyon  of  Ashford,  and  Mary  Lyon,  whose  grand- 
father  was  of  Sturbridge,  Mass.  Philip  Lyon  is  said  to  have  been 
born  in  Northampton,  Mass.  This  together  with  the  fact  that  the 
name  Philipt  occurs  among  descendants  in  Masaachusetts  of  William 
Lyon  of  Roxbury,  Inclines  one  to  look  rather  to  Woodstock  than  to 
Fairfield  for  the  ancestors  of  this  Baptist  minister.  The  question 
cannot,  however,  be  settled  by  any  evidence  in  hand.  All  that  has 
been  ascertained  is  that  Philip  married  a  Northampton  girl,  Susan 
Curtis,  and  that  they  had  a  son,  Adoniram  Judson  Lyon,  born  in 
Napoli,  Chautauqua  Co.,  N.  Y. 

ADONIRAM  JUDSON  LYON  [Philip]  was  graduated  from  Mad- 
ison (now  Colgate)  University,  and  from  Hamilton  Theological  Semi- 
nary  and  became  a  Baptist  minister.  He  was  pastor  in  Delaware  and 
in  Lancaster,  Ohio,  and  in  Greenfield,  Mass.,  and  resides  (1905)  In 
Huntington,  O.  He  married  at  Fabius,  N.  Y.,  June  24,  1868,  Mary  E.

RICHARD  HILL  LYON  removed  from  Connecticut  with  his  parents 
in  1856  and  settled  in  Ypsilanti,  Mich,  To  a  large  degree,  he  was  self- 
educated.  He  learned  the  printers'  trade  in  Decatur,  Pawpaw  and  St. 
Joseph,  Mich.,  and  in  Chicago,  but  it  was  not  until  1874  that  he  took 
up  newspaper  work.  He  was  employed  first  in  the  composing  room  of 
the  South  Bend  Tribune,  but  his  energy  and  talent  soon  secured  for 
him  a  position  as  reporter.  In  1874  he  became  city  editor  and  In  1892 
associate  editor,  a  position  which  he  held  until  failing  health  con- 
strained him  to  resign  Dec.  2,  1905.  He  continued,  however,  as  long 
as  he  lived  to  contribute  to  the  columns  of  the  Tribune  as  a  special 
writer,  particularly  on  matters  connected  with  local  history,  in  which 
he  was  deeply  interested.  It  was  through  his  initiative  that  the 
Northern  Indiana  Historical  Society  was  organized,  he  being  Its  first 
vice-president.  In  collaboration  with  Prof.  Charles  H.  Bartlett,  of 
Chicago,  he  published  the  very  readable  historical  sketch,  "La  Salle 
in  the  Valley  of  the  St.  Joseph."  Mr.  Lyon  was  enthusiastically  devoted 
10  music.  For  thirty  years,  with  few  intervals,  he  directed  the  music 
in  the  First  Presbyterian  church  in  South  Bend.  He  organized  the 
St.  James  male  quartette,  one  of  the  finest  in  northern  Indiana. 
During  presidential  campaigns  the  work  of  his  glee  clubs  was  an  In- 
fluential factor  in  determining  the  election  returns.  He  took  an  active 
part  in  politics,  as  he  did  in  all  the  social  and  civic  life  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  he  lived.  His  generous  nature  and  his  ready  sym- 
pathies won  for  him  the  warm  personal  friendship  of  all  associated 
with  him  and  his  death  was  felt  as  a  great  public  calamity. 

Mr.  Lyon  was  married  in  1876  to  Miss  Frances  A.  Kurtz,  of  Buffalo. 
N.  Y.,  the  marriage  taking  place  in  Kalkaska,  Mich.  For  many  years 
they  lived  in  their  beautiful  home,  405  Lamont  Terrace.  Chapin  park, 
where  on  April  6,  1907,  the  friends  and  relatives  gathered  to  pay  a 
last  tribute  of  respect  to  one  universally  honored  and  loved.  The 
deceased  sleeps  now  in  Riverview  cemetery.

Page  373,  William  Lyon  of  New  Haven.  From  cemetery  records 
in  New  Haven,  the  following  additional  facts  have  been  obtained: 
William  Lyon,  of  an  ancient  family  in  Buckingham,  came  to  Boston, 
Mass.,  Sept.  1713.  He  married  in  Boston  the  following  year  and  lived 
there  several  years;  then  moved  to  New  Haven.  He  died  in  Barbadoes, 
whither  he  had  gone  for  his  health,  March,  1726,  ae.  39.  Experience 
(Howard)  Lyon,  his  relict,  daughter  of  John  Howard  "of  Massachu- 
setts," died  Sept.  7,  1751,  ae.  64.  The  older  daughter,  Experience, 
who  married  Rev.  John  Brainerd,  died  in  Brunsvrtck,  N.  J.,  Sept.  17, 
1757.  The  younger  daughter,  Mary,  died  Sept.  16,  1742,  ae.  26.  The 
son,  William  Lyon,  seems  to  have  been  twice  married,  first,  as  stated 
on  p.  373,  to  Lois  Mansfield  [possibly  an  error],  second  to  Elizabeth 
Maltby,  born  Saybrook,  Sept.  4,  1724,  died  Oct.  16,  1810,  ae.  81.  By 
his  first  wife  (?)  he  had  a  son  Williams  (Col.  William  Lyon);  by  his 
second  wife  he  had  a  son  Nathaniel,  born  Nov.  13,  1762.  William2 
died  Jan.  31,  1767,  ae.  51.      , 

Col.  Williams  Lyon,  born  March  6,  1748,  married  Lois  , 

bom  March  24,  1747;  died  Aug.  26,  1821.  [Query:  could  it  be  that  this 
was  Lois  Mansfield,  and  that  William2  Lyon  was  only  once  married 
after  all?    The  name  of  but  one  Lois  is  found  in  the  cemetery  records.]
