Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/762 Surname: LYON, McALEXANDER, THURMAN, BURNETT, ISON, TAYLOR ------------------------- No, my line is that of William LYON (son of John & Jean [?] LYON) and Frances "Sally" THURMOND. Elisha LYON is probably related somehow, but I don't know how. William's sister Frances married a BAILEY -- John BAILEY -- as her second husband, in 1772.
