I don't know if this family is connected to yours but here is Lewis Lyon's Biography. It comes from this book I have called History of Clinton and Franklin Counties, New York. by D. H. Hurd. It was written in 1880. Lewis Lyon born Sept 18, 1808 in Royalton, Vermont and is the son of Nathaniel Lyon, who settled in Saranac, Clinton County, in 1803 or 1804. Nathaniel Lyon, after whom the mountain bearing his name was called, was one of the first settlers of that part of the country, and was a relative of Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, who was killed at the battle of Wilson's Creek, Mo. in August 1861. There were but two or three families living in Saranac when Mr. Lyon came. The first female child born in the town was Fanny Lyon, now Widow Curtis in, 1804. Mr. Lyon lived a few years on the place where he first settled, and then moved back some four miles, well up towards the base of Lyon Mountain, where he cleared a farm. Mrs. Hattie Lyon, granddaughter of Nathaniel, was the first lady to ascend to the summit of Lyon Mountain, August 11, 1876. During the war of 1812 , Mr. Lyon apprehensive of danger from marauding bands of Indians infesting the country, abandoned his farm and returned to Royalton, Vermont, returning to his farm at the close of the war. It was during this sojourn in Vermont that Lewis Lyon subject of our sketch was born. Lewis Lyon at the age of twenty-two was married to Joanna Ryon. Their children have been Seymore, member of 118th Regiment, NY Volunteers, died in the Army and buried at Yorktown, Ransom, Harriet N., Emma E., Nelson N., and Elmore L.
