Excerpt from Lyon Memorial: New York Families, Descended From the Immigrant, Thomas Lyon, of Rye

The task which the writer of these lines assumed four years ago is at last concluded. If it has been but imperfectly done, the half loaf is better than no bread. It will be long before the complete and adequate history is written. Meanwhile those who have collaborated in preparing the Lyon Memorial will find ample reward for their labor in the gratitude of their kinsmen who will owe to them some acquaint ance with a family history in which they may well take pride.
