Thomas Lyon House
The Thomas Lyon House, at 1 Byram Road, was built ca. 1690-95 and is considered to be the oldest unaltered structure in Greenwich, Connecticut.〔http://www.byramct.org/lyonhouse.asp〕 The restoration of the house, a Colonial saltbox, is the primary project of the Greenwich Preservation Trust, a not-for-profit organization that grew out of the Thomas Lyon House Committee formed by the Byram Neighborhood Association.〔http://www.greenwichpreservationtrust.org〕 Its heritage dates back to the family of Thomas Lyon (1621-1690), one of the earliest settlers of Fairfield County, and particularly his son, Thomas Lyon (1673-1739) who, with his wife Abigail and their children, were the initial occupants. The house stayed in the family line of Abigail and Thomas Lyon in to the 20th century.
==Thomas Lyon (1621-1690)==
The first Thomas Lyon was born in England about 1621. He is reported to have come first to the Massachusetts Colony, and thence to have gone to seek his fortune in the 'far west' of Fairfield County, CT.〔Winthrop, R.C. ''Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society" Second Series - Vol. VI, p 8〕
His first wife was Martha Johanna Winthrop, the only child of Elizabeth Fones Winthrop and her husband Henry Winthrop, second son of Governor John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.〔Mayo, Lawrence Shaw, ''The Winthrop Family in America'' (Boston: The Massachusetts Historical Society, 1948) p 61〕〔Winthrop, op. cit., p 4〕〔Miller, Robert B, Ed., ''Lyon Memorial'' (Detroit: William Graham Press 1907) p 1, 40〕〔Anderson, Robert Charles, ''The Great Migration Begins'' (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1995) p 1030〕 Martha had been born May 9, 1630〔Winthrop, op. cit., p 4〕〔Mayo, op. cit., p 61〕 at Groton Manor, the Winthrop home in England, and as an infant sailed to the Massachusetts Bay Colony with her mother, arriving November 2, 1631.〔Winthrop, op. cit., p 4〕〔Miller, op. cit., p 1〕〔Mayo, op. cit., p 61〕 In the early 1640s, the young Martha moved with her parents to their newly acquired property encompassing the area known now as Old Greenwich in Fairfield County, CT.〔http://www.friendsofgreenwichpoint.org/page2.php〕 Martha married Thomas Lyon circa 1647,〔Winthrop, op. cit., p 4〕〔Mayo, op. cit., p 61〕 and they had one child, Mary Lyon, born August 1649.〔Winthrop, op. cit., p 18〕〔Miller, op. cit., p 40, 45〕〔Mayo, op. cit., p 61〕 Having battled frail health for some years, Martha (Winthrop) Lyon died in her early twenties, likely in 1653.〔Winthrop, op. cit., p 16〕〔Miller, op. cit., p 37〕〔Mayo, op. cit., p 61〕 Thomas Lyon remarried in 1654 to Mary Hoyt, daughter of Simon Hoyt of Stamford, CT.〔Miller, op. cit., p 42〕 This Thomas Lyon died in Greenwich in 1690, and was buried in the old Lyon family burying ground at Byram Neck.
