She married (1) on 6 May 1651 in , Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut Luke HILL , born <1631> in <Upway, Dorchester, Dorset, England>; (2) on 26 Sep 1759 Nehemiah SARGENT , born <1631> in <Upway, Dorchester, Dorset, England>; (3) (Mr.) (---) , born <1631> in <Upway, Dorchester, Dorset, England>; (4) in 1654 in Fairfield, Fairfield, CT Thomas LYON , born <1631> in <Upway, Dorchester, Dorset, England>. 129 Mary3 HOYT , born 1635 in Fairfield, Fairfield, Ct; died in , Ct. She married in 1654 in Fairfield, Fairfield, Ct Thomas LYON , born <1631> in <Fairfield, Fairfield, Ct>. <http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/H/HOYT+1999+10+F> The Hoyt Haight book has in the index: Lyon, 218, 289, 291, 310, 409, 482, 499 686. Lyons, 608, 662. <http://listserv.northwest.com/~haight/ho-habookv2/pg_310-311.txt> (2609) VIII. A DAUGHTER, b.-; m. Thomas Lyon. Perhaps he lived in Fairfield, and entered there, Jan. 12, 1658, land "purchased of Symon Hoyt of Stamford" [p. 289]. By the agreement of 1674 [p. 291], Thomas Lyon and Samuel Finch were to have the horses running in the woods of Norwalk. <http://listserv.northwest.com/~haight/ho-habookv2/pg_408-409.txt> (3665) IV. DANIEL, b. about. 1787; m. Phebe Lyon, as early as 1808; lived in Bedford, N. Y.; d. there about 1841. At White Plains ;9 a deed from Daniel Hait and wife Phebe to Phineas Hait, all of Bedford, 1808. Spelling afterwards Hoyt; but some, if not all, of the children now use Haight. Chill: James7; Alvah7; Wm. Henry7 Haight, lived in N. Y. City, d. about 1868; Rufus7; Jane7; Harriet 7; and Anna .7 There are other LYONs mentioned who married into the Haight (descendants) families, but this <NYWESTCH-L@rootsweb.com> list isn't the place to list them <g>. I'll repeat, OUR interest is in the James Haight (b. 1776) who lived in Mt. Pleasant, Westchester Co., NY and married Rebecca Slater. Hope this has been of some help.
