HENRY LYON, one of the Lyons of Glen Lyon In Perthshire, Scotland, came to the Colonies with his two brothers, Thomas and Richard Lyon, in 1649. These three Scotch soldiers in Cromwell's army were on guard before the Banqueting House at Whitehall, Jan. 31, 1649, and witnessed the execution of King Charles I. Immediately after the regicide, they fled to America. Henry Lyon went to Milford, Conn., where he is first on record, Feb. 24, 1649, when he was admitted to Milford Church. He married in 1652, Elizabeth, daughter of William Bateman, of Fairfield, Conn., and was granted a home lot there. May 28, 1654, he was dismissed from Fairfield to Milford Church. In 1666 he came to Newark, N. J., he kept a tavern, was the town treasurer, and was one of its founders, with the Milford Colonists. Henry Lyon was brother to Thomas (1622) and Richard (1624) Lyon.

From contributor: 47183885
Elizabeth died before Henry and he remarried. Henry married for a 2nd time, Mary Camfield "about 1689-90." Mary was probably the daughter of one of the early settlers in Newark. At the time of Henry's will, his two daughters, Mary and Dorcas were minor children with his 2nd wife, Mary. This wife may have been a Newark woman which might explain why the family moved back to Newark where they celebrated the 50th anniversary of Henry's arriving in the New World. Henry had retained his privileges at the Newark church even though he had moved to Elizabethtown. Sidney Elizabeth Lyon author of Lyon Memorial: Families of Connecticut and New Jersey (Detroit, Michigan: Press of William Graham Printing Co., 1903), 54-88.
Henry mentions two minor daughters, Dorcas and Mary Lyon born after his wife Elizabeth's death. In his will 1702/3, his wife is called Mary. New Jersey Archives, Unrecorded Wills, Book 4, 273-4, Book 5, 233-4. ( His will is in the Lyon Memorial also p 64-66)
