Year of birth

[edit]

There is conflict about whether Patrick Lyon was born in 1769 or 1779.

1. The 1800 London review of his 1799 Narrative states:
"This Patrick Lyon, after spending nearly 14 years in different manufactories in London, in 1793, removed to Philadelphia."[1]
(Were 1779 the year of his birth, Lyon would have begun working in London manufactories as an infant.)

2. His burial record at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Philadelphia states:
"Pat Lyon – April 15, 1829 – Aged 60 years"
