From Lyon Memorial re John Lyon

[Ancestral Link: Lura Minnie Parker (Stagge), daughter of Minnie May Elmer (Parker), daughter of Mark Alfred Elmer, son of Hannah Polina Child (Elmer), daughter of Alfred Bosworth Child, son of Mark Anthony Child, son of Increase Child, son of Mary Lyon (Child), daughter of Joseph Lyon, son of Joseph Lyon, son of William Lyon, son of William Lyon, son of William Lyon, son of John Lyon, son of John Lyon.]

"According to [Albert] Welles, Henry Lyon, fourth in descent from Barn John de Lyon, left Norfolk, which had been for more than two hundred years the ancestral home, and settled at Ryslippe [Ruislip], County Middlesex. The family remained in Ryslippe through four generations, bringing us to what we may regard as unquestionable historical ground. John Lyon, born in Ryslippe about 1470, married Emma Hedde of Ryslippe, and had four sons bearing the suggestive names, Henry, Thomas, Richard and John (compare names of the three brothers who came to Fairfield County, Connecticut). John settled in Little Stanmer, County Middlesex; his wife's name was Joan, and their oldest son, born about 1540, was William, who married Isabel Wightman, daughter and heiress of William and Audry (Deering) Wightman of Harrow on the Hill. William lived for a time (1596) in London, but was buried September 7, 1624, at Little Stanmer. He had a brother Thomas, whose son William was called the Marquis of Southwold, and was owner of the ship Lyon which brought to America so many emigrants.

The Gresebrokes of Stoke Hall, Middleton
16th Century, Middleton
From the Sewell website, with thanks.

John Gresbrooke of Stoke Hall in Middleton who succeeded to an estate and Stoke Hall in the parish of Middleton, Warwickshire; less than 6 miles from Gresbroke Hall and the Shenston estates in Staffordshire where his elder brother lived. Relative to John’s will, Dr. Jackson Howard states in his Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica (1899):

“Proved at Lichfield 1542 ... This will mentions ‘that syde of the Crofte next the ffrthynge lane’ – an old cottage now stands about a field away from the junction of Farthing Lane with the name Stoke End. This was the site of Stoke Hall. At the bottom of a field falling away at the back lies a pond, now nearly dried up, but still known by the name of ‘the great lake’”

Died: 1542 Married: Isabell who died in 1554

John Gresbrooke and Isabell had the following children:
John Gresbrooke, eldest son. Apparently, there was some discord in the family. John’s father had stipulated in his will “... my sone Alverey shall have yt and no other man.” In her will, John’s mother Isabell named her son John and her son Alverey “desyryng hym to be good to his brethern and systrs”. However, her husband did not name John; and after court proceedings, Dr. Jackson Howard states in his “Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica” (1899): “Alverey therefore turned him out with violence”.
