William Lyon married his 1st Sarah Ruggles as his first wife in Roxbury, MA 17 June 1646, daughter of THOMAS RUGGLES {1637, Roxbury}. They had 7 children: John, Thomas, Samuel, William, Joseph, Sarah, & Jonathan. She died some time before 30 November 1676, when her husband married 2nd Martha Philbrick (widow of John Cass) as his second wife.[1][5] She emigrated as a child to New England and was recorded in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1637.[1] She was born in England and emigrated as a child.

The dates given below for the births of John and Thomas, the two eldest sons of this immigrant, are presented in the published Roxbury vital records as baptisms. The Roxbury church records, however, do not include these records, and neither parent was a member of Roxbury church before 1650. These dates are more likely birth dates, and are so entered here. Some authors have included two sons named Jonathan in this family, but the Roxbury town and church records show only one son of this name.
