UPDATE (25 May 2010): Y-DNA testing has proven that Richard Lyon, of Fairfield and Henry Lyon, of Newark were closely related. Rather surprisingly, it also appears William Lyon, of Roxbury is closely related to them, while Thomas Lyon, of Rye is not. At last, some solid evidence on the relationships of these four men!


I haven't found anything to change this other than it is doubtful the three brothers came from the specific London Lyon family. Doesn't mean something won't turn up someday, just haven't found it.

This family is part of the Hoyt, Stower dispute as to where they came from. It took a lot of time to find the Hoyt and Stower origins and not from Upwey. The Lyon family is almost non-existent in old Scotland records before 1650. A Thomas Lyone in 1628, probably the son of Thomas Lyoun 1607. No brothers.

Scotland or London. The fight has gone on for 200 years. Lore has Henry Lyon coming with his two brothers, Richard and Thomas, from Scotland, when and why. No supporting original source documents so far for either location as it appears the London Richard had other children at the time, specifically a possible different Richard (1611) and considerable documentation on William (1621) coming over in 1635, an orphan at age 14, and not listed in any source with Richard, Thomas, and Henry.
