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

8 PREFACE

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,

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

*Burke's Peerage.

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

SOME OLD WORLD LYONS 21

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

22 LYON MEMORIAL

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

SOME NEW WORLD LYONS 35

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

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.

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.

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.

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

HENRY LYON OF NEWARK 61

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- Deut 1-13 gesses within our Town upon Passaick River in the

Exod. 18:21. Provence of New Jersey, but such Planters as are

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

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

58 LYON MEMORIAL

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

"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.

Of the witnesses of the will, Zopher Beach was of the second emigration, but Joseph Johnson (he beat the drum, morning and evening in the town in 1688) was the son of Constable Thomas Johnson who helped to measure the half bushels of tax wheat when Henry Lyon was first town Treasurer of Newark. Abraham Pierson was the grandson of the Rev. Abraham Pierson, the beloved pastor, who, with Jasper Crane, brought the Branford families to the Passaic settle- ment.

Loving wife Mary, must have been as a beloved and dutiful daughter to her husband in the time of his infirmity. But while he waited for the Christ, the other, the wife of his youth, was the thought in his heart. He was back in Fairfield days in his Passaic

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

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. John de Lyonnes arms d'argent un lyon rampant de goules."

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.

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: —

50n March 16, 1805 the widow of Benjamin Lyon (No. 284) mortgaged her place of 16 3-4 acres to Moses Baker for $250, "beginning at corner of land that Benjamin Lyon purchased of Benjamin Lyon, deceased." The eastwardly bound- ers were Jonathan Meeker, Hampton Harrison, Stephen Foster, Joseph Lyon, Moses Thompson, Samuel Lyon. David Edwards and Robert Brown. The wit- nesses were James Lyon and Charles Lyon. Cancelled Oct. 5, 1826. On Aug. 3, 1816, Sally C, James, Joseph and John Lyon quitclaimed to Abraham C. Lyon 14 acres of land. A part of the tract had been laid off for Charles. The bounders on the southeast were Ezekiel Ogden, Elihu Bond and others. The deed was signed by Sally C, James and Joseph. John did not sign. Benjamin Lyon was the one witness. (Recorded June 14, 1819). John quitclaimed three acres, March 10, 1821, to Jonathan and Samuel "Wlnans. On April 6, 1819, Abraham C. and wife Hannah mortgaged 14 acres to Moses Baker for $250. Cancelled Oct. 6, 1826.

tCharles Lyon died after Dec. 21, 1814, the date of his mother's will (proved July 3, 1815), and before Aug. 3, 1816, when his land-strip, already set off, as a bound, is "of Charles Lyon, deceased." It is likely that he died In the sum- mer of 1816.

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 inquiring Friends. Mr. Pierson is just going, no more at present but 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.

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 Cincinnati, O., July 27, 1875.

J., Feb. 15, 1764, and died at North Bend, Jan. 15, 1819; grand-daughter of Thomas Lee, (soldier Revolutionary war), born at Hempstead, Long Island, July 1, 1727; died at Morristown Jan. 7, 1805, and Dinah Perrine, his wife, born in Staten Island, 1731; died at Morristown 1791; great-grand-daughter of Joseph Lee of Hempstead, and Abigail Price, his wife. Joseph Lee was the son of Thomas Lee and Mary Marvin his wife, of Hempstead, who came to the Colonies in 1675 from near Nottingham, England (traditionally a eon of Robert Lee, son of John Lee, third Earl of Litchfield).

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

SEVENTH GENERATION 187

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.

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.

tCol. James Kelgwln's Memoirs.

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).

2173. V(?). . CAPTAIN DAVID LYON of "North End"

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-

248 HENRY LYON OF NEWARK

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 10, 1778. Dated: Trenton, Nov. 9, 1906.

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 my soul unto the hands of God from whom I received it and my temporal estate that God hath given me I dispose of as followeth. My will is that first after my decease my funeral charges and just debts shall be payd. I give and bequeath to my sonn Moses Lyon one-third part of my land in Pequaneck [Bridgeport] lying on the eastward side and to run the whole length of that land. Alsoe I give him the fifth part of my long lot to run the whole length to bound it the Southwest side. Alsoe I give him two acres of meadow be- low the new bridge as the way goeth into Sascoeneck. Also my two acres of land in the old field I doe give him, also a gun and a Razer and my biggest pewter platter. It is to be minded one hundred acres of the long lot is already given by deed of gift to him which is part of it above said where it lie and yf there be any room on the old field land when I doe decease it is to be as my estate but otherwise he is to possess it at my decease and the remayning part of the long lot that Moses is to have beside the hundred acres Moses is to possess at my decease. It is my will that Moses shall pay to my cosen Mary Fitch seven pounds within two years after my decease. I give to my sonne Richard Lyon the third part of my land in Pequaneck Ijing on the farther side next Benjamin Turney and to run the whole length. Alsoe I give him one hundred and fifty acres of my long lot next Moses' part running through the whole length, and fifty acres of it he is to possess at my decease. I give him two acres of meadow in Sascoeneck running the whole length of it lying on the side by that which was Mihil [Michael] Fryes'. I give unto my sonne William Lyon a third part of my land in Pequaneck alsoe I give him one-fifth part of my long lot to run the whole length, and to lye next Richard's land, and also I give him two acres of meadow in Sascoeneck lying next the beach, and what is left above these Two acres and six more of that piece of meadow yf any: William shall have it by his two acres. Alsoe I give him my long gunn and my back sword and my belt I give him; he to have his portion at nineteen years of age. I give unto my sons Samuel and Joseph Lyon my lot and house and barn I live on. Alsoe I give them that lot I had of Thomas Morhouse called his home lot the whole lot to lye on the northwest side; Joseph to have the Northwest. Alsoe I give them four acres of meadow in Sascoeneck beside Richard's and William's above said. Yf it fall short of four acres then they must take up with what is: all these several parcils with house and barn is equally to be divided between

264 RICHARD LYON OF FAIRFIELD

Samuel and Joseph. I give unto my daughter Hester Perry four pounds fully to her dispose and I give unto my son-in-law Nathaniel Perry his son Joseph Perry my grand-child three pounds, and unto my son-in-law Nathaniel Perry I give three pounds in carting and plowing as he have ocation. I give unto my wife Margaret Lyon whom I doe hereby make my Executrix of this my last will, I say I give her three score pounds out of my estate and the use of the house I now live in and the barn and the home lot and the rest of Samuel and Joseph's portion above mentioned to use and improve while she re- mayns a widow, or until the said Samuell and Joseph have attayned the age of twenty-one years when they are to have their portions. I give unto my daughters Betty Hanna and Abigail, when my wife hath payed her two score pound out of the moveables, the rest of 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.

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.

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 Richard Lyon, of Fairfield.

§The children of Samuel Smith, baptized in Fairfield (Ch. R.) were; 1. Joseph; bapt.

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.

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: •50. I. Daniel; b. Fairfield. Aug. 1, 1719 (T. R.); bapt. Nov. 22, 1719. 61. II. Sarah; b. Fairfield. Nov. 18, 1720 (T. R.); bapt. Jan. 1, 1721.

*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."

RELATED LYON NAMES of uncertain parentage:

125. Josiah; perhaps son of Ephraim, No. 27; married, March 1, 1768. Eunice Jennings, of North Fairfield (Greenfield Ch. R.). It was possibly the same Josiah who married afterwards Mrs. Amy (Whitney) Haynes, widow of Silas Haynes. She was born in Fairfield, June 6, 1747. Josiah Lyon was living in Redding In 1777, (Conn. Hist. Soc. VIL 338).

126. Grace; died Jan. 1774, "upwards of 40 years old" (Greenfield Ch. R. ). This may have been Grace (Webb) Lyon; See No. 40.

127. Snnice, "of Greenfield;" married In Fairfield, Feb. 28, 1754, John Fanton [Fountain, or Fantaln] (West Farms Ch. R. ; E. C. M. III). This Eunice may possibly (but unlikely) have been the one (No. 71) who was baptized Sept. 16, 1716.

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.

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.

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.

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 with those of Hezekiah No. 99).

137. V. 46. Nehemiah Webb'* Lyon [Stephen^?), Ebenezer^C?), Richard^ Richard'] was born in Weston, Conn. Aug. 16, 1759t, and died there in his one hundred and first year.

He was recorded as a pensioner in Fairfield Co. in 1832, and in Weston in 1832, and remained on the pension roll until his death in 1860. His children nearly all lived to a good old age.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :

1501. I. Spencer.

•1602. II. Ebenezer; b. April 5, 1764; d. Nelson, N. Y.

1603. III. Nathan.

1504. IV. LoTlna [Louisa] ; m. Jacob Smith.

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.

He died April 4, 1829. She died Feb. 6, 1849. He was a Justice of the Peace In Nelson in 1808t (Hist. Madison Co.).

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.

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.

SAMUEL S. LYON, son of John S. Lyon (page 251). Prom an obituary notice, the following items are gleaned. He was born in Parsippany, N. J. in 1905. He settled in Boonton about 1865, engaging there in mercantile business. He was at one time mayor of the town. In 1888 he was elected to the New Jersey Assembly, and served as reading clerk in the house. He was appointed by President McKin- ley, about 1898, U. S. Consul to Kobe, Japan, and was serving his second term in that capacity when he was stricken with paralysis

March 29, 1904. He married first Righter, of Parsippany and

second Mary Eugenie Estler, of Boonton. Five children survived him; J. Righter Lyon and Miss Gussie Lyon by his first wife and Raymond (b. 1897), Lew Eugene (b. 1900) and Carlton (b. 1892) by his second wife.

perhaps other children. David S. Lyon married Iva Chase, of

Tompkins Co., N. Y.; lived last in Sparta, O.; died May 2, 1889, at Traverse City, Mich., at home of his son Edwin. Children of David S. and Iva (Chase) Lyon: Marvin B., born Tompkins, Co., N.

Marvin B. Lyon resides in Bloomfield, Morrow Co., O., where he has been post master forty-five years, and has held important public oflOices. He married Jan. 1, 1852, at Hilliar twp., Knox Co., O., Selina Chadwick.

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. Wheaton, daughter of Elmer and Ann E. (Stevens) Wheaton of Fabius.

ERNEST NEAL LYON [Adoniram J., Philip], born in Greenfield, Mass., Oct. 26, 1873. Graduate of Colgate University (B. A. 1897).

He is by pro- fession a teach- er, having been Prof, of Eng- lish Literature in Marion, Ala. Military Institute 1887-90; in Mount Hermon School, Northfield, Mass. 1900-02, and In Manual Training High School In Brooklyn. Address, 188 Prospect Place. Brooklyn, N. Y.

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.]

Children of Col. William and Lois ( ) Lyon:

I. Emilia; b. Feb. 8, 1767; d. March 4, 1889; m. Joseph Bennett. [Emilia might possibly have been dau. of William (2)].

II. William; b. July 12, 1772; d. Oct. 26, 1841.

III. mizabeth; b. July 2, 1777; d. Nov. 26, 1851, ae. 74, "the last of her name."

rv. Mary; b. Oct. 7, 1780; d. Charleston, S. Car., Sept. 11, 1816.

Nathaniel Lyon (above), born Nov. 13, 1762; died Sept. 8, 1836; married Lucy, daughter of Alexander and Sybil Booth. She died March 1, 1813, ae. 45. In the same cemetery plot were buried the following, presumably children of Nathaniel: 1, Sarah; wife of Dea. Abiel Holmes Maltby; died Sept. 15, 1871, ae. 81; 2, Nancy; wife of John M. Garfield; died March 12, 1872; 3, John ("son of Nathaniel and Lucy"); died Sept. 4, 1795, ae. 3 y. 2 m. 3 d.
