| Before John married Amanda, she was married to a man named Ned Hunter. They had one son William "Ed" Hunter, born 2.4 Play 1861. It was said one dark night a | Vigilante group of men known as the Night Riders came to the home of Ned Hunter, the Night Riders were on horseback and had black sacks over their face, they | called Ned outside and it was said by Amanda that she heard a scuffle and they took her husband with them, never to see him again. After about two years, Amanda | married John Robert Lyon. John raised Ed Hunter as his own son and then later in life Ed was said to have moved to Wisc. engaged in the logging business. John and | Amanda raised their family on a farm that was over 400 acres. There he built his own homes and engaged in farming. John donated one acre of ground to the | community for a school house. They named it the Lyon school in honor of John. John and Amanda were well thought of in their day.

| A STORY OF WILLIAM HICKERSON LYON: William and Margaret first settled in Ibex, in Elliott Co. Ky. located right below Gimlet, Ky.
| Here was where most of their children were born. William and Margaret moved second to Haldeman in Rowan Co. Ky.
| This is where they lived most of their lives. He built a log home here and engaged in farming.
| William was a hard worker, and would hoe corn from sunrise to sunset. He also had a large grove of Maple trees which they called Sugar trees in which he would boil
| down the sap to make Maple Syrup. One day William and his son, Everett was boiling sap and the building in which they were working in caught fire.
| It was such a huge blaze that all who saw it, never forgot it. In their earlier days at Haldeman, Ky.
| William and his family used to go to Gimlet on horseback and spend weeks at a time visiting family members and friends before returning home.
| When William was older he fell and broke his hip. This slowed him up in his work on the farm. William and Margaret eventually
| moved in with their son, Charlie, and his wife Ollie in Hays Crossing, Rowan Co. Ky. This is where they spent the rest of their lives.

“he's supposed to have left a wife and family in NC because she would not come to KY with him, and he came alone to KY and simply took a new wife and started a new family without the benefit of divorce”
178.15B JAMES KNOX POLK LYON (14&22) (Mary, Jeremiah, Bennett) was born 31 May 1847 in Carter Co.Kv. and about 1873 married 1st to SARAH CATHERINE
MAUK, who was born about 1853, the daughter of Joseph Sr., and Sarah "Sally" (Holbrook) Mauk. She died about 1892.
He married 2nd to ELLEN BURTON on 30 Aug.
1910, in Carter Co. Ky. He died 26 Apr. 1918, shortly after being struck by a streetcar. James and Sarah are both buried in Mauk Cemetery on Route 986, Elliott Co. Ky.
The family lived on Gimlet Creek straight across from the residence of James' father.
Not long after Frankie's birth, his mother Catherine died. James K. not being able to take
care of the infant Frankie, took the child to his brother John Robert and wife Amanda (Rose) Lyon, to be cared for.
Amanda became very attached to Frankie, for she only had
one son herself, named Jesse. Frankie became ill with Summer Complaint (a type of diarrhea) and died. Amanda grieved the loss of Frankie very much.
The story of Frankie was told by Sara (Mauk) DeBord. Sara said she heard the story many times from her mother, Ellen (Rose) Mauk.
Sara also states she has heard this story
from others too. (Sara is 81 years old in 1981). Hubert Lyons Jr. states he believes this story of Frankie to be true, as in the Lyon's Plot there is a small unmarked grave,
which very well could be Frankie Lyon's grave. The Lyon's Plot used to be called the old Lyon's Cem. by all the folks of the area. It is now known as the Holbrook Cem.
James was known to the younger generations of the Lyon family as Uncle Jim and his wife as Aunt Kate.
In Jim's youth he was known as TWO FISTED JIM LYON, by some of the people of the community.
His hands were twice as wide as a normal man's hand. And if he put his back to a wall he could whip as many men that would dare come against
him. However Jim wasn't of a violent nature, he was said to have a kind heart by his grandchildren, and a man of few words.
When Jim's son William and his family moved to
Beauty Ridge, Jim came and lived there for awhile, in a small log cabin near them. Jim was an excellent squirrel hunter, and would take his grandsons huntinn with him.
Although his sight wasn't good in his old age, his grandsons would spot the squirrels and Jim would shoot them.
His grandchildren also came over and helped him farm. Jim was
thought to have been somewhat lonely at times for he lived by himself in his cabin.
Jim eventually moved back to Olive Hill, Ky. with his other son Jesse E. Lyon. Jim was
known to have been a very good dresser, was particular about how he looked.
Jim was struck by a street car in Olive Hill, Ky. and his injuries soon led to death. His body was
taken to Mauk Cem. and he was buried next to his wife. The passing of Uncle Jim was felt deeply by all his family and friends of this kindly old. man.
