♀Mary Lyon

Dates not yet known.

Mary Lyon was the wife of Noah Thayer of Braintree, Massachusetts, whom she married at Boston on 3 April 1769, and the mother of Mary Thayer, born at Braintree on 2 January 1770. She was the fifth great-grandmother of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006) by two separate lines of descent, both through her daughter Mary Thayer (1770–1827).

The Boston marriage record names the bride as Mary Lyon. The Braintree register of births names her only as “Mary his wife” of Noah Thayer. On 30 September 1770 the church in neighboring Weymouth baptized a “Mary, grand d. Mr. Lions”, a granddaughter of a man named Lyon, which would fit her daughter born that January. An online family tree gives her birth in Boston in 1749, which has not been confirmed. She evidently died by April 1771, when her husband married again, to Eunice Allen of Wrentham.

Lines of descent

Her daughter Mary married Nicholas Blanchard at Weymouth in 1789 and moved with him to Maine, and two of that daughter’s grandchildren, first cousins, later married each other, so that their son Wesley Blanchard (1844–1908) descended from her through both parents.
