Alexander Lyon was born between 1786 and 1787 in Province of Maryland.⁵

My conclusion at this time is that Alexander and Zachariah Lyon could be related, both migrating from Maryland, but not as father-son. If Alexander were son to Zachariah (and the dates suggest this is possible) then Alexander would have been about age nine when Zachariah left for Kentucky and I don't see him leaving Alexander behind. If left behind Alexander should have appeared in some household in the Loudoun tax list by age 16 in 1803 - he did not. Alexander might have left with Zachariah, appeared as the male aged 16-26 in the 1810 Kentucky census and then returned to Loudoun to appear in the 1811 tax lists. Sounds like a stretch but it's possible. A more likely event is that Alexander journeyed from Maryland to Loudoun about 1810 but so far no record of Alexander in Maryland can be found to help identify parantage.

Alexander first appeared in the Loudoun County personal property tax lists for 1811 in Cameron Parish.⁷

He saw military service during the War of 1812. His widow filed a Widow's Original document (14315) and a Widow's Certificate (8215) for Alexander's service. He served as a private under Capts McCarty and Beveridge of the Virginia Militia.

On Feb 12, 1779, proved by Joseph Lyon and Zackariah Lyon, the accountants afd.⁸

Zachariah was stated to be "a soldier under General Wayne during the American Revolution, who was wounded in the Battle of the Brandywine." He was said to be "a son of John Lyon, born in Connecticut about 1690. The latter moved to Maryland about 1720. He was a descendant of John Lyon who came from England in 1636, with several other members of the family. They chartered a vessel when they came over and named it the 'Lyon,' as all on board were of that family." I have found no sources to back up these statements, and conflicting family trees (very unreliable and filled with errors) say Zachariah's father was Henry Lyon Jr of Charles County, Province of Maryland.⁷

On 14 Dec 1780 James Moran of Charles County, Maryland, made an assignment of lease for 300 acres in Cameron Parish to William McClellon of Loudoun. Witnesses were Zach'a Lyon, Thomas Oden and Daniel Kelley - recorded 14 May 1781.⁶

Zachariah Lyon appeared in the tithables tax list between 1781 and 1784 for in Loudoun Co, Virginia. He resided in Cameron Parish (area east of Goose Creek.)⁹

Zachariah Lyon appeared in the personal property tax lists from 1782 through 1795 for in Loudoun Co, Virginia. He always appeared in the 2nd battalion, the Cameron Parish area east of Goose Creek; both Samuel Lyon and William Lyon appeared with him between 1791 and 1795. Zachariah did not appear after 1795.¹⁰

On 11 Oct 1784 Thomas Lake and wife Elizabeth of Cameron Parish sold land to Nathaniel Pegg - 631 acres on Broad Run. Zach Lyon, Giles Turley, Chas Dunkin John Cheshire and Edward Willson were witnesses.¹¹

On 9 May 1785 John Haddox of Loudoun leased land in Cameron Parish to Jesse White of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Land was adjacent to that of Zachariah Lyon; witnesses were Zachariah Lyon, Robert Braden, Benjamin Hall, and Andrew Green.¹²

On 27 Mar 1787 Zachariah Lyon of Loudoun sold 2 acres on Piney Branch of Bull Run to Benjamin James of Loudoun - this was part of a tract where Lyon currently lived. Witnesses were John Kimler, Jr, Andrew Redmond, Benjamin Hale and Jacob James. Piney Branch extends north of Popes Head Creek, which connects to Bull Run near Manassas, and is about four miles SE of Centreville - this area was originally part of Loudoun County (when it was established in 1757) until a boundary change in 1798 when it reverted to Fairfax County.¹³

He was listed in the personal property tax list of 1787 on 7 Apr 1787 for in Loudoun Co, Virginia. This was the same day as the listing for Thomas Lyne. He was on the tax list of Simon Hancock, 3rd battalion, and was taxed on one black person, four horses and six cattle. Zacheriah was over 21 and there was no male in the household between 16-21.⁴

On 2 Apr 1788 John Haddox and wife Barbara of Loudoun sold 192 acres to Thomas Oden of Loudoun. The land was on Walnut Cabbin Branch of Bull Run adjacent to land of John Kimbler. Winesses were Zachariah Lyon, Rewben Settle, John Kimbler Jr, Daniel Stuart and William Kelley. Walnut Cabin Branch became Foley Branch, which is about six miles west of Chantilly and is in Loudoun County.¹⁴

Zacheriah Lyon of Maryland purchased 212 acres as a lease and release from John Walker and wife Sarah on 1 Apr 1790. Land was adjacent to that of John Haddock; witnesses were Jos Cross, Thomas Oden and Stephen Teer. Recorded in court on 12 Jul 1779 (need to verify 1790 date.)⁵

On 10 Apr 1790 Andrew Redmond of Loudoun sold 9.25 acres to Benjamin James of Loudoun, where Benjamin lived on Mountain Road adjacent to Philip Palmer and Theodorick Lee. Witnesses were Zacharian Lyon, John Kimler, Jr and George Drumm. Mountain Road is today's Braddock Road, which extends from near Alexandria to Centreville. Braddock Road crosses Piney Branch so this gives a reasonable idea of where Zachariah lived.¹⁵

On 16 Nov 1792 Theodorick Lee of Loudoun sold 410 acres to Peirce Bayley of Loudoun, land adjacent to that Philip Palmer, John Turbervill, Daniel & Hugh Thomas, James Coley, Thomas Oden and Zachariah Lyon; also sold 5 acres adjacent to Philip Palmer, Zachariah Lyon, and John Kimbler, all in Cameron Parish. Witnesses were Benja Mason, Nathl Smith and Wm P Bayly. Recorded 14 Jan 1793. He apparently did not appear in any Loudoun deeds after this date.¹⁶

Zachariah Lyons was a member of class 10 of Capt George Emery's company, 57th Regiment, Loudoun Militia, in 1794 when the militia was organized - he did not appear at any later time.¹⁷

It appears that Zachariah left Loudoun sometime shortly after 1795 and removed to Shelby County, Kentucky by 1810. It would be helpful to find deed or tax records for him in Kentucky during this period.

He appeared on the 1810 federal census of Shelby Co, Kentucky, on census date 6 Aug 1810. Household of Zachariah Lyon: one male 10-16, one male 16-26, one male >45 (Zachariah), one female 16-26, and one female >45.¹
