Mathew Lyon, was born in Ireland about 1750. At eight years
of age he ran away from home, and took passage in a vessel for America; arriving in America the captain of the vessel sold him to a Vermont farmer
for a yoke of oxen, to pay passage money, which Lyon soon refunded to the farmer from earnings at the printer's trade. By correct deportment and industry, he acquired distinction and wealth, and was sent from Vermont to congress. There he opposed the foreign policy of President Adams, and delivered a speech of such bitter denunciation that he was fined $1,000,
and imprisoned. Vermont endorsed his course, and while yet in prison
elected him to another term in congress (the $1,000, with the interest has since been returned to his heirs). Finishing his term in congress about
1799, Mr. Lyon came to Eddyville, Ky.; two years afterward returned to
Vermont and brought out a colony, and at the same time a printing press,
and started a paper. He built government gun-boats; operated a nail
factory and engaged extensively in shipping between New Orleans and
Eddyville. He was elected to the State and afterward to the national legislature, serving in Kentucky from 1803 to 1811, when he was appointed Indian agent, or as then called, factor, among the Cherokees in Arkansas;
was sent by that territory in 1822, as its first delegate to congress, but
died en route. His remains were brought to Eddyville and there buried.
