WARNING:  there is no proof that Sir Thomas LYON's line leads to the three LYONs (Henry, Thomas, and Richard) who show up in Connecticut Colony in the 1640s.  The sources are all secondary, undocumented, and almost certainly untrue.  There is no evidence whatsoever that the "Connecticut three" are connected to these royal LYONs.
