General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] von Loewe

---

The Lyon family has in its possession several copies of a coat-of-arms, accompanied by an old German document, the translation of which is as follows:
Von Loewe-1260. The stock originated on the soil of France. The old noble family had its origin in the city of Ulm in Swabia. Several sons of the family, serving in the imperial army, were noted for the boldness of lions in the battles against the Turks. One of them, Rupertus by name, the father of the family, living near the close of the thirteenth century, was therefore knighted and surnamed "The Lion," (German, von Loewe; French Lyon). The escutcheon of this family displays a rampant lion of gold on a shield of red, denoting courageous defence. A similar lion appears on the helmet crest, surmounting the shield, and denotes magnanimity. The scroll enclosing the helmet shows red and gold, denoting Power and Courage.

It is evident from the above that the family early became transferred from France to Germany, as the coat-of-arms is German, and the name von Loewe is of the German nobility. If there exist any records of the family during the first five centuries of its residence in Germany, they are not available and the record of the present family begins with Anton Wilhelm von Loewe. ¹
