David Lyon was born circa 1823.
The 1855 NY State census records his place of birth as Yates Co, NY but the 1865 NY State Census records it as Ontario Co, NY.
His parents were David LYON (b. abt 1797 in NJ) and
Eliza C. HATHAWAY (b.1799 in Morris Co,NJ).
They were married in Seneca Co, NY and moved to Pulteney and then settled in Woodhull, Steuben Co NY(abt 1840).
There were 12 children.
David Lyon married Eleanor Cordelia Evans, born in Lee Co, NY about 1837.

David Lyon was a farmer.
David bought out most of his siblings interest in their late father's estate in 1868.
He was deceased by 1883, when his mother's estate was probated.
David and Cordelia are buried in the Village Cemetery in Woodhull.
Online cemetery data shows:
LYON, Cordelia 1827 1896
LYONS, David Jr. 1822 1867
I question this date of death because it has him dying before he had estate transactions with his sisters and brother.
I am a descendant of his sister, Marietta Harriet Lyon Thomas.
I am trying to trace the Lyon siblings and descendants.
Any information on David and Cordelia Lyon and their descendants would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Sandi
