Richard LYON
Ms. __?__
WARNING:  I have found nothing to prove that this Richard LYON ever existed.  He appears to have been fabricated to fill in the gap between William and Isabelle (WIGHTMAN) LYON, as Isabelle was too old to be the mother of the three alleged brothers:  Richard, Thomas, and Henry.  If you have any documentation to support the existance of this Richard LYON, please enlighten  me.
Husband:  Richard LYON
Birth:  1590, Glen Lyon, Perthshire, Scotland — or Middlesex, England
Father:  William LYON
Mother:  Isabell WIGHTMAN
WARNING:  If Richard was born in Perthshire, Scotland, he was certainly not the son of this William LYON, who was born in and died in Middlesex, England.  On the other hand, if this Richard was this William's son, then he was almost certainly born in Middlesex, which completely blows the tradition that the three alleged sons, below, were born in Perthshire.
Marriage:
Wife:  Ms. __?__
Children — said to be born in Glen Lyon, Perthshire, Scotland:
PLEASE NOTE:  while Richard, Thomas, and Henry are securely documented to have existed, there is nothing to document that they were brothers.

1.  Richard LYON, b. probably 1610s/20s 
2.  Thomas LYON, b. 1621 
3.  Henry LYON, b. 1622-24

Son Richard's probable birthyears are based on the facts that his eldest children were born in the early 1640s and that most men married around age 23.

Lyon.  I'm told that these data, which are from Sidney Lyon's (1907) Lyon Memorial, are now believed to be wrong, at least as regarding Henry and Richard.  The ancestry may be correct from William and Isabelle backwards.
