Notes:

John Lyon (1450), second son of Henry of Rystippe, had a son, John Lyon of Preston, Midulesex County, born 1500, who was the founder of the famous English school of Harrow-on-the-Hill, ten miles from London. This philanthropic yeoman of Preston yearly set aside the sum of twenty marks for the education of the poor children of Harrow. The school of Harrow was founded 1571. Queen Elizabeth granted the charter. But the statutes were drawn up by the founder in 1590. However, the first building was not completed till 1611.

At his death, October 3rd, 1692 (?1592), he settled two-thirds of his property on the school, and left the other third for the maintenance of a high-road between Harrow and London. John Lyon and his widow, Jean Lyon, who died August 30th, 1608, are buried at Harrow. They had ? Mary, born at Preston 1540, buried at Harrow December 13th, 1568, Jean, born at Preston 1545. buried at Harrow, May 13th, 1559, and Zachery, born at Preston 1560, died without issue, and was buried at Harrow, May 11th, 1583. It is a pleasing coincidence that Mary Lyon, the American Educator, Founder of Mount Holyoke Seminary (now College), for the higher education of women, should have borne the name of the eldest daughter of John Lyon, founder of the great school of Harrow-on-the-Hill.

Family/Spouse: Jean. Jean was born about 1500; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This information is from Sandi Hartnell, (hartnellsl@attbi.com) who says"Most of the early stuff was compiled by my grandmother's twin sister,Mina Lyon Rife. She dated the material 1956. She did a lot of research,and attributed some of the material from a 3 volumes titled "LyonMemorial". She indicated they were purchased in Boston at Goodspeed BookStore. I visited Glamis Castle about 10 years ago and have guidebooksfrom there that had family information, and I also picked up someinformation from various web cites.
