He had five or six brothers but as far as I know none of them ever lived anywhere but central Illinois. I don’t know too much about the brothers of my great great grandfather William Howard Lyon (1831-1909). I know they were Vermont natives and their parents were Amasa and Polly Barnes Lyon. They may have had descendants in Kansas.

Hope you find the association fruitful; I sure do. I’m fairly new, as well, and have found it most stimulating, especially the Daily Themes.

I have a LYON in Ness Co, KS, around 1900 – see a Tombstone post on my site in the last week or so…

Keeping telling your ancestor stories!

I have actually searched the 1850 census but missed this. At least I have a place to start now.

They have a daughter called Paulina, which your James in turn used as a name. They are in Schuyler Co. Missouri

There’s one shot where he would be with his parents before marrying in 1855. How many 16 year olds named James with a variant of Jimison/Jameson/etc. born in Missouri are there?
