The editors of the Lyon Memorial state that "There appears to be no reason to question the conclusion reached by Albert Welles that this was the William Lyon who was baptized at Heston, now part of the city of London, Dec. 23, 1620, the youngest son of William and Anne (Carter) Lyon of Heston." On the contrary, aside from the correct name and age, there is no particular reason to believe that this baptism does apply to this immigrant, although it is not impossible.
