In the 75th year of his age.
Suggested Edit:
Gershom was the son of Daniel Lyon Jr. (1719-1791).
Daniel Lyon Jr. signed the 'Redding Resolves' denouncing those who were disloyal to the King, and later served in a Loyalist regiment with the rank of Sergeant. The date of his death and place of his burial are not known.
On Feb 5 1771 the Town of Redding voted not to decline to do an assessment of taxes on Daniel and Sarah Lyon to support the Continental (Rebel) Army as he had sons fighting for the British (Daniel 3rd and Gershom). Gershom was a Loyalist whom also signed the ‘Redding Resolves’. who fought in a Loyalist regiment (name unknown).
In 1776, during the war, Daniel 3rd fled to Long Island to join a Loyalist regiment and this fact was reported to George Washington, so we can assume that Daniel 3rd was an agitator hated by the rebels.
Gershom was born in Fairfield, Conn. July 10, 1725, and died in Easton, May 3, 1801, "in 75th year".
Buried in Lyon Cemetery (aka Rock House Cemetery) Easton. He was baptised in Greenfield Church, July 3, 1726. He married April 25, 1745, Mary Buckley, she was born in 1720, and died May 10, 1801 and she is buried with Gershom.
