• Notes

  John Lyon of Rystippe, the third, first son of Henry Lyon (1440), was born there 1470. He married Emma Hedde, and had four sons, Henry Lyon, born 1500, Thomas, born 1503, Richard, born 1505, and John, born 1510. It is a singular fact that of the fifteen Lyons who came to the American Colonies between 1638-1683, twelve of them bore the distinctive family names of these sons of John Lyon of Rystippe, the exception being William of Roxbury, and Peter and George Lyon of Dorchester. However, William was a name that begun with the William Lyon who was born at Rystippe 1640 and continued in favour.
