Greetings Genealogy Diggers:
THANK YOU for being allowed to list on your website. I am new to your website, but not
new to genealogy digging.
Have some info of Valentine Lyon B. 3 Apr 1798 in Fluvanna County, Virginia. D. 21 Jan
1887 Lyon farm, Taylor Township, Owen, Indiana. He is buried in the Lyon Cemetery that was
purchased by his granddaughter's husband Homer Craddick.
His first wife: Mary Margaret Payne (1805-1853) & 12 children: Mary Jane, James
Allison, Julia Elizabeth, Allen Bernard, Benjamin Franklin, Jonathan Franklin, William
Wesley, Harrison Hezekiah, Thomas Valentine (my great-grandfather), Harvey Rice, Susan
Matilda, Kavenaugh Clay Lyon.
His second wife: Zarelda Myers & 7 children: Charles Edward, Francis Marion,
George Washington, Henry Bascom, Oliver Lincoln, Emma Florence, Ulysses Grant Lyon.
Have some gorgeous photos of Valentine's children - but alas, most are unlabeled.
GREAT desire to identify all of them.
Have Valentine's parents Samuel Lyon/Sharlotte Barnard, grandparents Zachariah
Lyon/Mary Gill, & great-grandparents Henry Lyon/Anne Morris names. Desire more info on
them.
Desire info on Valentine's children & grandchildren.
Any help SINCERELY appreciated - and MOST happy to share what I have. THANK YOU!
