Biography
Isaiah Lyon was the son of Eliab Lyons and Meriah Smith. He was born in 1757. [1]Isaiah Lyon March 18, 1758 – 1776 Died in the American Revolution
Found description of his death under his brother Alpheus, in the Lyon Memorial.
Alpheus appears in Soldiers and Sailors of Wrentham. His father Eliab were in the same company.
His brother Isaiah, enlisted from Walpole. Hurd’s Norfolk County says that he and Eliab were in Jeremiah Smith’s Company.
While he (Isaiah) was leading a scouting party, he was killed by Indians, and his death was considered so much a cause for rejoicing that they cut off his head, set it on a pole, and held a victory dance around it. After the death of Isaiah, his captain (then Captain Day) sent for Alpheus, gave him his brothers gun and powder horn, which by good fortune had been recovered and Alpheus served then for three years. The gun and horn are still in possession of his descendants. 1905
