2. Miller, Robert B. & Albert Brown Lyons, eds. 1907. Lyon Memorial III: New York Families Descended from the Immigrant Thomas Lyon of Rye. Self-published. [W. Graham Printing Co., Detroit, MI.] 539 pp. (facsimile reprint available from Higginson Books; online at Ancestry.com):

p. 63 52. IV. 22. CALEB⁴ LYON [Thomas³, John², Thomas¹], born in Greenwich, Conn., Oct. 20, 1718: died there Aug. 30, 1809, æ 90 Y‡

‡In 1847 Dr Thomas Lyon (No. 373) of Morristown, N.J., prepared a manuscript record of the descendants of Caleb Lyon which is authority for many statements in the succeeding pages, credited as above "Dr. T." An authentic copy of this valuable record is now owned by Mrs. Esther B. Hunt of Atwater, Cayuga Co., N.Y.

He was baptized 20 Oct 1728 (see parents' page). No birth date is given there, so this birthdate is presumed to be the compiler's error.

p. 64 He was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, John Lyon, dated Jan. 24, 1735-6. May 20, 1736, he chose for his guardian his cousin, John Hobby. He was a farmer and blacksmith. He married Eunice, daughter of Elnathan Mead of Greenwich, born in 1720 (bapt. Greenwich, Oct. 20, 1728), and died April 9, 1803 (Dr. T.). Both were buried on the farm, North St., Greenwich. Jan. 2, 1782, a petition against allowing tories who had served in the British armies to return again as citizens of either town was signed by thirty-seven Stamford and Greenwich men, one name being Caleb Lyons.
