Hylan B. LYON [Parents] was born on 22 Feb 1836 in , Lyon Co., Kty. He married Grace MACHEN in Aug 1869.
Other marriages:O'HARAIN, Laura
The below is from: Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin & Kniffin, 3rd ed. 1886. Lyon Co. Both parents died when Hylan was young.
Hylan B. was left a large estate, which his guardian, Fred. H. Skinner, applied in securing him a liberal education. After the common schools, he attended the Masonic University of Kentucky, at La Grange, Cumberland College at Princeton, and at sixteen years of age was admitted as a cadet at West Point, from which he was graduated in 1856, being the nineteenth in a class of forty-eight. Soon after he was brevet second lieutenant of Second Artillery, and was assigned to duty at Fort Myers during the Seminole war, and there first met Gen. Hancock. At the close of the war he was promoted to full rank of second lieutenant of Third Artillery, and ordered to Ft. Huyma, Cal. After one year was ordered to Washington Territory, where he was in two battles with the Indians. During that expedition he witnessed an act of treachery on the part of Col. Wright wholly uncalled for. Chief Qualshan, the Indian commander, was sent a polite invitation to visit the soldiers' camp; complying with which he with his wife were seized and ten minutes hanged. In 1850, Gen. Lyon was a volunteer with Col. John Miller's expedition opening a wagon road from Walla Walla to Ft. Benton. He was detailed to a special duty with a Flat-head guide, who deserted him among the hostile Blackfeet; was captured, but was saved by addressing them in their own tongue. Returning to Ft. Vancouver, he secured a leave of absence and returned home; while there the civil war broke out, and he was appointed first lieutenant of Third Artillery, but resigned and raised Company F, Third Kentucky Infantry, and went into the confederate service, which was detached from the regiment, and organized into an independent battery known as Lyon's - afterward as Cobb's Battery, which the general himself equipped. He was promoted in January 1862, to lieutenant colonel, Eighth Kentucky Infantry; commanded that regiment at Ft. Donelson, and was there taken prisoner; first confined in Camp Morton at Indianapolis, then at Camp Chase, Ohio, and lastly with other confederate officers was taken to Ft. Warren, Mass., and was exchanged. His regiment was reorganized as the Eighth Kentucky, and he was made colonel. He was with Van Dorn against Grant at
Coffeyville, Champion Hill, etc.; was assigned to Pemberton and guarded his retreat to Vicksburg; was in the siege of that place, but with 250 of his men escaped; joined Johnston, who attempted to relieve Vicksburg;
failing in this went to Jackson, Miss., from whence after a severe battle fell back and went into camp at Meridian, Miss. Lyon was placed by Gen. Bragg in command of two regiments of cavalry under Wheeler, in the rear of Longstreet's army at Knoxville; was placed in command of Bragg's artillery immediately after the battle of Missionary Ridge, during the retreat of Bragg, and saved the artillery from capture. He was next placed in charge of cavalry belonging to Forrest in Mississippi in 1864; then assigned to command in western Kentucky and Tennessee, his special duty being to gather provisions and men to facilitate a raid by Hood, but which failing, he with 800 men retreated south and regained Forrest's command in Mississippi. Near the close of the war, Gen. Lyon was surprised in his tent, and taken prisoner by strategy by a young Lieut. Lyon, of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry; the General succeeded in killing the Lieutenant and making his escape. After the close of the war, Gen. Lyon went with Gov. Harris of Tennessee to Mexico, intending to join Maximilian, but instead united with a civil engineer corps; was in Mexico nearly a year. In the winter of 1865-66 returned to Eddyville. After farming for a while he was one of the lessees of the State Penitentiary, and cleared as his share of the profits $150,000. He now manages his various farms, and does a mercantile business in Eddyville. He was recently appointed one of the commissioners to build a branch penitentiary, the location of which he secured for Eddyville. General Lyon has been twice married; his first wife, Laura O'Hara, to whom he was married in 1861, died in 1865, leaving one son: Hylan F., now deceased; his second wife was Grace Machen, to whom he was married in August 1869, died in 1873, leaving four children: Grace, Frank, Hugh and Earnest.I have another explanation of his killing the capturer:
From a NY list of soldiers killed in the Civil War; Essex Co., Moria; Arthur P. Lyon 24, single, enlisted Aug 26 1862 in the 15th PA Cav,--killed at Red Hill June 15 1865, left no dependents-- only his mother
was living-- buried in Moriah East Cemetery. Remarks; "He was ordered out after the Rebel Gen. Lyon, he captured him by suprise, and by his magnanimosity, the Gen shot him."Seems the 15th PA Cav captured the HQ-- and Sgt LYON captured the general in his night clothes. The General asked to get to dressed & the Sgt. let him. While he was getting dressed the Gen. pulled a gun &
killed the Sgt. (posthumously promoted to LT)Richard LYON, [email protected], has a great deal on this family.(Hylan is his 1st cousin, a few times removed)
I asked James if these could both have the same last name, and he said:
Yup
I haven't been able to pin down the Sgt's family, though I've done a lot of research in Clinton & Essex County, NY.(The Sgt was from Moira, Essex Co.-- My folks got to Peru, Clinton Co c1800-- I haven't
been able to connect the large clan of Essex Co LYON folks to mine.Even though they were just 30 miles south & arrived from VT about the same
time.But I ran across a single line in the Port Henry Military History "Arthur L. Lyon, Sgt, 1st PA Cav.;shot by General Lyon, CSA at Red Hill, Ala." The General is Hylan Benton LYON (and I've got Bentons' in my
Clinton Co folks) I've been following it for a while to see if they might have known each other. It's interesting also that Sgt LYON's commanding officer (Col. Wm J. PALMER) got a Medal of Honor for the actions that night for.."With less than 200 men, attacked and defeated a superior force of the enemy,
capturing their fieldpiece and about 100 prisoners without losing a man." I guess the General was # 101-- or he didn't count because he got away.I have a transcription of a letter the Col. wrote describing
the action if you're interested. From James Elbrecht, [email protected] and [email protected]
