THOMAS LYON S. 9687 BA-J/AWF:MLB
Mr. John S. Allan 802-804 Stock Exchange Building Buffalo, New York
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you requested the record of your great-great-grandfather, Lieutenant Thomas Lyon, who was born in 1744, served with the Vermont Green Mountain Boys in the Revolutionary War and died in 1827. You desire to know the cost of that record.
The record of Thomas Lyon is furnished you herein as found in the claims for pension under File No. S. 9687, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War and upon disability incurred during his service in that war. No charge is made for this report.
The date and place of birth of Thomas Lyon and names of his parents were not given.
Thomas Lyon entered the service October 27, 1776, served as lieutenant in Captain Jeremiah Burroughs' company in Colonel Seth Warner's Regiment, "sometimes called Green Mountain Boys". He left the service January 1, 1781.
The records show that Warrant No. 1222, for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued August 7, 1789, on account of the service of Thomas Lyon, Lieutenant in the Continental Line, War of the Revolution. There are no statements made by the applicant for this land because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Thomas Lyon was pensioned on account of disability resulting from wounds received while in the service, the circumstances and nature of which are not shown. He was allowed pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War on his application executed April 15, 1818, at which time he was living in Whitehall, Washington County, New York.

In 1826, Thomas Lyon was a resident of Erie County, Pennsylvania. It is not shown whether he ever married. He died September 3, 1827.
In 1848, Honorable J. D. Morris referred to heirs of Thomas Lyon as residing in his district in Ohio, but he did not give any names.
If you desire information relative to the location of the land granted this officer, you should apply to The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Very truly yours

Sir
In answer to your letter of the 8 th Inst. repts. the Case of Thomas Lyon late an Invalid Pensioner on the Pennsylvania Roll I have the honor to inform you that no law has been passed by Congress since 1845 which give any further pay or pension to his heirs.
Seant Lyon acquired no right  was not entitled to Commutation pay, and as his death took place prior to the passage of the act of 15 May 1828 and his he of course could have acquired no right to a pension under that Law, or that of 7 June 1832, which to
We know of no Claim that his children can now have to bounty, Land or pension.
Hon J. D. Morris House of Reps,

House of Reps.
Washington, 8 th July 1848.
Gen: J. K. Edwards, Comm r of Pensions.
Sir:
I respectfully invite your attention to the case of Lieut. Thomas Saxon of the Army of the Revolution. By a letter rec d from one of the heirs, who it seems has had the subject of the allowances made by the law very thoroughly examined I find the following statements.
The commutation pay of a Lieut. in the Continental line who served to the end of the war, or was supernumerary after the 2 nd of Oct. 1780. is $75.75. - and also 200 acres of bounty land, to which, if dead, his heirs are entitled. If living, he is also entitled to a Pension of 320 dollars per annum from the 3 rd of March 1826, for his life.
If he died since the 3 rd of March 1826, his representatives are entitled to his Pension from that date to the day of his death. If an Officer or Soldier of the Continental line was killed, or died during the war of the Revolution, the heirs of the Officer are entitled to his bounty land & seven years pay, and the heirs of the Soldier to 100 acres bounty land & $80. Bounties of 160 and 320 acres granted in the late war with Great Britain. If they were slain by the enemy, or died whilst in the service of the United States, their heirs are entitled to five years half pay in lieu of Bounty land. Invalid Pensions are granted to Officers or Soldiers and Seamen of the Continental line and Navy, and to Regular, Militia, Volunteers, Rangers, and Sea Fencibles, in the service of the United States up to the present time. Revolutionary Pensions are granted to the Officers and Soldiers of the Continental line who served for nine months. - Full pay Pensions allowed (if they served to the end

of the War) commencing from the 2 d of March 1826. Pensions allowed to Officers & Soldiers of the Continental line, State troops, Indian spies, volunteers & militia, and those in the Naval Service who served six months are for the Pension; if twelve months; half Pension; and if two years, full Pension, from the 4 th of March 1831. Widows and orphans are entitled to five years half pay in the following cases viz: Of those killed in the Campaign on the Wabash in 1811, of one year men. act of Oct. 1873. Of militia & volunteers, acts of 15 th April 1816, & July 4 th 1836. Widows are also entitled to Pensions for life under act 4 th July 1836, which last act also applies to cases occurring thereafter. Arrears are decreed Pensions to be paid to widows. Half pay granted from the end of the War of the Revolution for life, to the Officers of the Virginia State troops, & State Navy, & their heirs. Officers of the Continental line who were supernumerary, by resolve of Nov. 24 th 1778, are entitled to one years full pay.
Lieut Lyon, I find it stated, belonged to Warner's Regt. - He was placed on the Invalid Pension Roll by act of Congress May 1. 1820. [Placed on roll March 20 th 1821] - Commencement of his Pension March 1820. $136 per annum. He died Sept. 3 d 1827. -
Now, Sir, I want to obtain what is due the heirs, who reside in my District in Ohio; and I have submitted the foregoing recapitulation of the laws regulating Pensions, in order to ascertain whether under any additional acts, since '45, any further pay is due the heirs. The references made above were by an eminent lawyer, and probably pretty correct at the time it was written. May I ask of Col. Edwards, as the Session is rapidly drawing to a close, immediate attention to the case of the heirs of Lieut. Lyon, who greatly need what may be due them.
He will very much oblige me by giving the matter his attention with as little delay as possible - Very truly Yours -

Sir You will perceive by refering to the Pension Rolls that my name was stricken from the Pension list where it had long been placed in consequence of disability from known Wounds received in the revolutionary war, and placed upon the list of Pensioners under the act of the 18 th March 1818 at the rate of Twenty Dollars per month which pension I have drawn up to the 4 th of March last - But conceiving that I should not be entitled to a continuance of this Pension having since my application materially altered the state of my property, and being willing to relinquish the same in order that my name may again be placed on the old Pension list - I do therefore humbly request that my name may be stricken from the pension list under the Law of the 18 th March 1818 and placed restored to the Pension granted me in consequence of Disability from wounds received in the Revolutionary war - I have the honor to be your very Humble Servant &c

Dear Sir:
I recently became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, and I was advised to write to you concerning the pension records of my great-great-grandfather, Lieut. Thomas Lyon.
Thomas Lyon was born in 1744 and died in 1827. He was buried in the church cemetery at Westleyville, Pa. During the Revolutionary War he served in Col. Seth Warren's Regiment with the Vermont Green Mountain Boys. His wife's name was Dorcas Lyon. He was wounded at the Battle of Sherbourg, and I understand that he is listed under the Soldiers of Virginia. In the Vermont rolls of "Soldiers in the Revolutionary War" his name appears on page 106.
Will you kindly send me a copy of Thomas Lyon's pension record. Any charges for obtaining the same I will be only too pleased to pay.
