p. 33 6. II. 1. JOSEPH² LYON [William¹] was born in Roxbury, Mass., Nov. 30, 1654, baptized Dec. 3, 1654, "Joseph Lyons" (Ch. R.) and died in Woodstock, June 7, 1721.
He married in Roxbury, March 13, 1681, Mary Bridge, daughter of Edward and Prudence (Robinson) Bridge,† born Roxbury, April 21, 1661. To Joseph Lyon belongs the enviable distinction of having been the first of his family in America to do for his country military service. He took part in the memorable war in 1676 with that Sachem of the Wampanoags called "King Phillip."
The public life of Joseph began at the early age of fourteen. "May 1, 1668, he was chosen a fence viewer on the northwest side of Stony River and as far as Muddy River and to Deham bounds." In 1678 he took the Oath of Allegiance in Roxbury. He removed from Roxbury to West Woodstock, where he spent the later years of his life.
