Book Overview

Excerpt from Lyon Memorial: Families of Connecticut and New Jersey; Including Records of the Descendants of the Immigrants Richard Lyon of Fairfield, Henry Lyon of Fairfield; With a Sketch "Lyons Farm" By S. R. Winans, Jr.; Illustrated With Map

Another thing. Doubt should not reject in toto the vague stories of forefather lore. Life was more serious than death to our Covenanter and Puritan sires. They were not given to vain-glorious statements. Whatsoever is attributed to one of them is worthy Of investigation. Oral testimony, after two centuries of reminiscential mention, has lost accuracy. Still there is a likelihood Of discovering documental foundations for many of these handed-down recollections. Errors may have been grafted on the vine Of any tradition, but it sprang from the root of truth. What Moses related to Joshua, what Joshua transmitted through the Elders and the Prophets is Holy writ.
