General Notes: Husband - James Lyon
He arrived in the Province of Pennsylvania, landing in Philadelphia in 1763, and, about 1766, located on land in Cumberland County (later, Granville township, Mifflin County), and near the site of old Fort Granville, which was captured by the French and Indians in 1756. The tract embraced all the broad plateau on the south bank of the Juniata river and the mountain side (later known as Anderson station, Pennsylvania railroad). He was assessor for Cumberland County in 1777; died and was buried on his own domain in the family burial-ground.
He emigrated from Ireland in 1763, and in 1768 was in possession of two hundred acres of land near what was later Anderson Station. On March 4, 1787, he took out a warrant for one hundred acres, and again, July 9, 1787, another hundred. He lived and died on the land he located.
