Not certain if there was ever a change between "Lyon" and "Lyons". Most of my printed data reflects the surname as being "Lyons".
The Lyon family name seems to have changed to Lyons after William Henry Lyon. William Edgar Lyons (Lyons-1017) is my grandfather.
Conflicting sources have his birth at Bowie, Montague, Texas and Tennessee. Dates and other biographical information seem to be the same.
