Note
An earlier version of this profile gave his birth and death locations as Roxbury, Connecticut. Members of this family did remove from Massachusetts to a settlement in Connecticut called "New Roxbury," which became the town of Woodstock, Connecticut. According to town history on the town of Woodstock website, the town was settled in 1686 by a group of men from Roxbury, Massachusetts, who named the settlement "New Roxbury."[2] Lyons states in The Lyon Memorial: Massachusetts Families that "when the new settlement at New Roxbury, now Woodstock Conn, was determined upon in 1686, [John's father William] was one of the "goers" and he was assigned a lot there, although he did not actually occupy it."[3]
