Elizabeth died before Henry and he remarried. Henry married for a 2nd time, Mary Camfield "about 1689-90." Mary was probably the daughter of one of the early settlers in Newark. At the time of Henry's will, his two daughters, Mary and Dorcas were minor children with his 2nd wife, Mary. This wife may have been a Newark woman which might explain why the family moved back to Newark where they celebrated the 50th anniversary of Henry's arriving in the New World. Henry had retained his privileges at the Newark church even though he had moved to Elizabethtown.

Henry mentions two minor daughters, Dorcas and Mary Lyon born after his wife Elizabeth's death. In his will 1702/3, his wife is called Mary. New Jersey Archives, Unrecorded Wills, Book 4, 273-4, Book 5, 233-4. ( His will is in the Lyon Memorial also p 64-66)
