ORIGINALLY PREPARED FOR THE NEW 'SCOTS PEERAGE' BY ROSS HERALD 1911 LYON, EARL OF STRATHMORE AND KINGHORNE IKE some other noble families in Scotland, that of Lyon is assigned a Norman origin by our older genealogical writers, few of whose tracts, how- ever, are of a remoter antiquity than the seven- teenth century. The story goes that the origi- nal ancestor was ' one of the ancient family of de Leonne in France, which continues there in great honour to this day, and derives its original from the noble race of the Leones in Rome. He came from France to England with William the Conqueror, and from thence to Scotland with King Edgar, son to Malcolm iii., about the year 1098, from whom, for good service he had done him against Donald Bane the usurper, he obtained certain lands in the sheriffdom of Perth, which were called after him Glen Lyon.' This startling inversion of the usually accepted theory regard- ing the origin of surnames is buttressed by a charter said to have been granted by King Edgar in the seventh year of his reign (a.d. 1104) to the church of the Holy Trinity at Punfermliue, one of the witnesses being a certain 'Syrro A 1 LYON, EARL OF STRATHMORE AND KINGHORNE de Leone,' the reputed ancestor of the family in Scotland. It was not difficult for the inventor of the tale to imitate the brief charter forms in use in King Edgar's day, but not so easy to produce a list of witnesses thereto which should stand the test of criticism, and that is precisely the point at which the ingenuity of the manufacturer of the charter in question is at fault.' It is probably now a hopeless task to settle who the true eponymus of the race was, but it is to be observed in this connection that the most ancient possessions of the family, the Celtic than- ages of Glamis, Tannadyce and Belhelvies, lie around the Mounth, that great mountain chain which, rising from the shores of Loch Linnhe, and traversing Scotland in an easterly direction until it declines to sea-level at the flsh- ing-port of Stonehaven on the German ocean, long remained the stronghold of a Gaelic-speaking race, some remnants of which yet linger in the Highland parishes of Angus, in Edzell, Lochlee, Olova, Glenisla, Kirriemuir and Airlie.' Two significant incidents in the history of the Glamis family, occurring in the early part of the eighteenth century, while the clan system was yet unbroken, and to be referred to in their own place, tend to strengthen the belief that the family is truly of Celtic origin. Many of the offices held by the chiefs of the house in the fifteenth and sixteentli centuries could only have been filled by those conversant with the Gaelic language. The record narrative of the family begins with John Lyon, whose career reads like a fairy tale. No youth who ever stepped from his father's tower to seek his fortune in the world, with visions of a castle and a princess in the lap of the future, ever in tale or lay so completely realised his dreams, as did John Lyon in the Scotland of the fourteenth century. His social rank may be inferred from the fact that when he leaps into fame and power in the reign of David ii., the son and successor of King • The curious may see the charter Lyon Office Library, D, i. £ol. in question ' out of the Registers ' 240. in 'The Scots Noblitie' Ms., ' Census Returns for Scotland. ' LYON, EARL OF STRATHMORE AND KINGHORNE Robert the Bruce, we find him fully equipped for his career as a courtier, statesman and diplomatist. He was in the service of the Grown prior to 9 July 1368, as appears from the inductive clause in the charter of Gourtastoune granted to him in that year, but the earliest record reference to his oflBcial position at Gourt is on 13 January 1368-69, when he is designed ' clericus domini nostri regis,' on his appoint- ment as one of the auditors to examine the accounts of the Ghamberlain of Scotland.' The remuneration of the auditor- ship was a fee of ten merks sterling, to be uplifted out of every Justiciarie to be held on the north side of the Forth, the date of the grant being 10 April following.' He re- mained auditor until his own appointment as Ghamberlain. In the same year (1369) he was dispatched on a mission to London,' and in the English state papers he is referred to as the ' Glerk of the Privy Seal of the King of Scotland.' On the accession of Robert ii. in 1371 he was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal.' On 10 October 1375, Queen Euphemia, the second wife of Robert ii. assigned to him certain liferent duties payable to her out of the revenues of the Gastle of Edinburgh, of which John Lyon was then Keeper.' There is a precept by the King dated at Dun- fermlyn 25 June 1380, directing the auditors of the royal accounts to allow to John Lyon (whom he and his eldest son had appointed keeper of Edinburgh Gastle for life) the whole expenses disbursed by the Ghamberlain in fortifying and furnishing that fortress with provisions, warlike instru- ments, and all other necessaries.' On 20 October 1377 he was appointed Ghamberlain of Scotland, then the inost important office in the disposal of the Grown.' This position he retained until his death. In the spring of 1382 he was again engaged in a mission to England.' ' Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, ^ Acta Pari. Scot., i. 5il (ved). it. 339.

  • Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry
    Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry Introduction Just when I think I have run out of ancestors to write about, I find another really interesting one, and that leads to another few weeks of research. My last narrative was about our Beers family ancestors, going back to Elizabeth Beers (1663-1719), who married John Darling Sr. (1657-1719). Their 2nd-great granddaughter, Lucy Ann Eunice Darling (1804-1884), married Amzi Oakley (1799-1853). Lucy Ann Eunice Darling’s parents were Samuel Darling (1754- 1807) and Lucy Lyon (1760-1836). All of these relationships are detailed in the section of the “Quincy Oakley” family tree that is shown below: In looking at this part of the family tree, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about Lucy Lyon [shown in the red rectangle in the lower-right of the family tree on the previous page] other than the year she was born (1760) and the year she died (1836). I didn’t even know where she lived (although Fairfield County, Connecticut, would have been a good guess). What was her ancestry? When did her ancestors come to America? Where did they live before that? To whom are we related via the Lyon family connection? So after another few weeks of work, I now can tell her story. And it is a pretty good one! The Lyon Family in Fairfield, Connecticut Lucy Lyon was descended from Richard Lyon Jr. (1624-1678), who was one of three Lyon brothers who emigrated from Scotland in the late 1640’s. In 1907, a book was published about this family, entitled Lyon Memorial, and of course, it has been digitized and is available online:1 1 https://archive.org/details/lyonmemorial00lyon The story of the three Lyon brothers (Henry, Thomas, and Richard Jr.) in the New World begins with the execution (via beheading) of King Charles I in London, England, on 30 January 1649 (although the Lyon Memorial book has it as 1648).

  • Scotland: Bruce 286
    Scotland: Bruce 286 Scotland: Bruce Robert the Bruce “Robert I (1274 – 1329) the Bruce holds an honored place in Scottish history as the king (1306 – 1329) who resisted the English and freed Scotland from their rule. He hailed from the Bruce family, one of several who vied for the Scottish throne in the 1200s. His grandfather, also named Robert the Bruce, had been an unsuccessful claimant to the Scottish throne in 1290. Robert I Bruce became earl of Carrick in 1292 at the age of 18, later becoming lord of Annandale and of the Bruce territories in England when his father died in 1304. “In 1296, Robert pledged his loyalty to King Edward I of England, but the following year he joined the struggle for national independence. He fought at his father’s side when the latter tried to depose the Scottish king, John Baliol. Baliol’s fall opened the way for fierce political infighting. In 1306, Robert quarreled with and eventually murdered the Scottish patriot John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, in their struggle for leadership. Robert claimed the throne and traveled to Scone where he was crowned king on March 27, 1306, in open defiance of King Edward. “A few months later the English defeated Robert’s forces at Methven. Robert fled to the west, taking refuge on the island of Rathlin off the coast of Ireland. Edward then confiscated Bruce property, punished Robert’s followers, and executed his three brothers. A legend has Robert learning courage and perseverance from a determined spider he watched during his exile. “Robert returned to Scotland in 1307 and won a victory at Loudon Hill.
