But your James Lyon has definitely caught my attention. Just this January the family history boxes were passed down to me. It was totally unorganized and I have been working full time on it, in addition to the Internet. Most of it is now in binders. So far, what I have on my Lyon family is incomplete, and hazy. My gggrm was Sarah Ann LYON, who died in Stockville, Frontier, NE 11 Dec 1891, the makeshift family chart shows. She was the dau. of Reason (Rezin) D. LYON and Ann Magdalen MORROW. I been trying to put the pieces together. Other names include Reason (Rezin) E. LYON, who was thought dead for forty years. Sarah and her siblings are listed, from a Bible record, as best as I can tell: John Morrow LYON, b. 28 Sept 1821 Sarah Ann LYON, b. 29 Jan 1824 Thomas D LYON, b. 1 Aug 1829 William F. LYON b. 20 Nov 1831 Mary LYON, b. 12 Jun 1833 Charles LYON, b. 17 Jun 1837 Edward LYON, 5 Jun 1839 Emery LYON, b. 14 Nov 1843 Another paper has a direct line of descent from: James LYON, b.c. 1730 Rezin Emory LYON, b.c. 1760 Rezin D(avis)? LYON, b. 16 Dec 1797, Bourbon Co. KY. Sarah Ann LYON, b. 29 Jan 1824, m. LOCKWOOD Also randomly mentioned is a "Rev." James LYON, as a brother of the LYON family, that supposedly m. Sarah DAVIS. Mattie LYON, in the photo album. The surname WH*ITE is also in the picture further back. Another "thing" in the family is the story of a Jefferson Davis cousin connection, that I haven't been able to find anything on. I was not left with documentation, references, or in this case, even a chart. But, if you think there could be a LYON connection, please let me know, because Frontier Co. corners Hitchcock Co. where Trenton is. Does anything sound familiar? Could your James LYON be a descendant of any of these LYONS? Sandi Goetze <sandi@frazmtn.com> Pine Mtn.
