Biography

From Wikipedia; "There is no reference to Ormskirk in the Domesday Book of 1086 but it has been suggested that it may have been part of Lathom at that time. In about 1189, the lord of Lathom granted the church of Ormskirk to Burscough Priory, which does suggest that Ormskirk had been subordinate to Lathom before that date. An open market is held twice-weekly, on Thursdays and Saturdays, in the pedestrianised centre of Ormskirk. The location was originally the junction of the main roads to Preston, Liverpool and Wigan, and was marked by a market cross until it was replaced by the current clock tower in the nineteenth century. The market was established by a Royal Charter that was granted by Edward I of England in 1286 to the monks of Burscough Priory. Thursday has been market day in Ormskirk since at least 1292. The King also granted a borough charter to Ormskirk at about the same time, but this seems to have become extinct by the end of the fifteenth century"

Jane Lyon emigrated to America in 1682 with the James Harrison and Phineas Pemberton families of Bolton, Lancaster County, England, aboard the Submission, from Liverpool to Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. She was a 16 year old orphan. From "the Phila. a& Bucks Co. Register of Arrivals" "...Jane Lyon and the other to serve each of them 4 yeares wages is meate drink apparel & land accustomed - free from the time of theire arival after the expiration of foure yeares."

"We now quote from the minutes of the Buckingham Monthly Meeting two sentences relating to the marriage of Richard Lundy I and Jane Lyon. The minutes of a Meeting held in Falls Township on the 1st day of the 2nd month, 1691, state that, 'Richard Lundy and Jane Lyon proposed their intentions of taking each other in marriage; it being the first time, the meeting appoints John Cook and Joseph Kirkbride to inquire concerning his clearness and give an account to the next meeting.'; and the minutes of a meeting held at the house of Henry Baker on the 6th day of the 3rd month, 1691 state that, 'Joseph Kirkbride relates that he hath made inquiry concerning Richard Lundy and finds nothing but that he may proceed with Jane Lyon; Richard Lundy and Jane Lyon proposed their intentions of taking each other in marriage; it being the second time, and nothing appearing but that both parties are clear, the meeting leaves them to their liberty to accomplish the same.' "We insert here a literal copy of the marriage certificate of Richard Lundy I and Jane Lyon: 'Richard Lundy of ye County of Bucks and province of Pennsylvania, husbandman, and Jane Lyon, of aforesaid County & province, spinster, having intentions of taking each other in mariage, did publish their said intentions according to law as also did declare them before severall publique meetings of ye people of god called Quakers whose proceedings therein, after deliberat consideration and consent of partys concerned, were Aproved by ye meetings; Therefore these may certifie all whom it may concerne that on ye 24th day of ye ffourth mo., 1691, they ye said Richard Lundy and Jane Lyon Apeared in a publique and sollem assembly of ye said people mett together for ye end and purpose at ye publique meeting-house of ye aforesaid people, near the ffals of Dellaware in ye county aforesaid, according to ye example of ye holly men of god recorded in ye Scriptures of truth.
