Hi, Lyon's Creek is in Knox County. Yes it is close to the Jefferson County line, but that area has always been in Knox County. My husband's ancestor received a land grant of several hundred acres in this area and donated land for Lyon's Creek Baptist Church. If fact, my family still attends Lyon's Creek Baptist Church. Look on a TN road map for the junction of Andrew Johnson Hwy (US 11E) and Asheville Hwy (25W & 70); due east of Knoxville. This area is called Trentville and Lyon's Creek runs through the middle of it. Sorry I don't recognize any of the names.

On Census list and the 1830 census from Grainger Co I see families as shown below in near to the Brockus Family.
