Lyon family descendants, including granddaughters of the last Lyons to own the historic Thomas Lyon House, joined about 70 other descendants and community members Friday in celebrating the family and the drive to restore the Byram home.
Sisters Julie Pollock, 54, of Wasilla, Alaska, Deborah Loving, 62, of Medina, Ohio, and Barbara Walthall, 59, of Arlington, Va., granddaughters of Julia Lyon Saunders and Chester Saunders, came to Greenwich to reconnect with their Lyon roots.
It was a moving experience for the family members.
"I don't have words how important this is," Loving said about the event and the push to renovate the home. "It is something we have dreamed about all of our lives. It has been an underlying thread in our family discussions."
The sisters also brought items their grandmother kept, including shingles believed to have come from the original home in the 17th century. Some of the items will go on display at an exhibition at the Bruce Museum next year.
