Immediately after, they fled to America. Henry went to MiNord. Connecticut, where he is first on rec- ord. February 24, 1642, when he was admit- ted to the church. In 1652 he married Eliza- beth, daughter of William Bateman, of Fair- field, Connecticut, and was granted a house lot there. May 28. 1654, he was dismissed from Fairfield to Milford church.

Samuel, Alexander, and Major Thomas Lyon were probably his sons. One reason for this statement is that Cyrus, a son of John, brother of Thomas, named his oldlest son Alexander in 1797, and there can be no doubt that Cyrus and Alexander were cousins. Also, a daughter of Samuel Lyon married a Burlingame.

Erie with seventeen hundred men, with the intention of attacking York, now Toronto, and then the chief depot of the British depots in the west. A landing was made before York on the 27th of the month (April) under hot fire, but the Americans pushed on and the enemy were driven from the works. The Americans were still pressing toward the main works when a magazine exploded, a plot of the British. Two hundred Americans were killed and wounded, among the mortally wounded being Major Lyon, who was carried on board the commodore's vessel and there died, the death of a hero." Samuel Lyon and his brothers bought land of Benjamin Hovey, Governor Clinton's land agent, for one shilling an acre, and built a gristmill, and also a lum- ber and a woolen mill. He settled in Oxford, 1792, and at Lyon Brook, near Lyon Brook bridge, on the New York, Ontario & Western railroad. He came from Great Bend, Penn- sylvania.
