One of his sons, Andrew, was my husband grandfather. Andrew was born on March 13, 1878. He married Emma Hannigan who died when she gave birth to their daugher Emma in Coteau-Station, province of Québec, Canada. We do not know at this point what are the circonstances that brought Andrew to Canada. He worked for the Atlantic Railway. Patrick and Maria had 12 children which you mentionned in your message. Garret moved to Clarno, Henry Lyons to Ohio, John Lyons in Washington, Dennis in Kansas and Andrew in Canada. Didn't know bout Catherine and William. Hope this helps. If you have any more information, I would be interested since I am just starting this research about the Lyons family.
