Henry Adams' widow, Edith (Squire) Adams married (2) John Fussell of Weymouth, MA. where he bought the house of Richard Sylvester (1640) of the "Mary & John" of 1630. Fussell was burned in this house by Indians about 1676. He may have come from Somerset, England where the name flourished and had been acquainted with the Adams'es and Squire'es. They had a child, Mary Fussell, who married Nathaniel Adams, 1677. Banks (1937-146) says John Fussel came from Wookey, co. Somerset (2 miles W. of Wells). Banks also claimed Robert Lovell, who came with Rev. Hull's group in 1635, came from this town. John Fussel may have been the son of Thomas Fussel of Wells, whose will was dated 18 Feb 1614/15. He mentions son John in his will. !M&J 17:121 | Fussel, John (I10573)

Note, in the Henry F. Huyck family history, there is no record of this marriage. However, his first wife was Polly Patterson who died in 1849. His "second" wife was Mary Jane Reynolds, married in (1854?) 1857. It is possible that Henry and Charlotte married in 1851 and divorced soon after and the family history ignored the marriage. | Family F2199

Henry Lyon (c1624-23 Mar 1707) was from Glen Lyon, Perthshire, Scotland. His parents may have been Thomas & Mary Lyon. Two of Henry's brothers, Thomas and Richard, also immigrated to Connecticut; reportedly, all three brothers fought in Oliver Cromwell's armies.
Henry lived at Milford, CT by 1646, when he took the freeman's oath. Henry married 4 May 1652 Elizabeth Bateman (cc1630-89), daughter of William Bateman, in Fairfield, CT. Henry may have moved there at the time; initially, however, he may have moved following his brother,
Thomas, who lived in Fairfield. Henry and his son, Thomas, were among the Newark founders in 1666. They both moved to Elizabethtown, NJ by 1673, when they swore othes of allegience (however, son Benjamin was born in Elizabeth 1668). Henry returned to Newark by 1696. He served as Newark's first treasurer (1668-73), first tavern keeper, and Burner of Woods and Meadows (1673); upon his return to Newark, he served as town Fence Sitter (1705). For Elizabethtown, he served in the East New Jersey Assembly, the Governor's Council, and as an Essex County judge. Among his lands was what became known as Lyon's Farm in Newark. He was interred at the Old Burial Ground, Orange.
Henry and Elizabeth (Bateman) Lyon had nine children: Thomas (c1653-fall 1694); Mary (c1654-pre1684 m. Sgt. John Ward; Samuel (c1655-Jan/Feb 1707); Joseph; Nathaniel (cc1663-1702); John (c1665-2 Nov 1694); Benjamin (1668-177 Apr 1720); Ebenezer (1670--c1739).

Henry WITHINGTON, was the ancestor of most of those of the name in the United States. With his second wife, Elizabeth (SMITH), and his four children, he came to Dorchester, probably in the same ship (the James) with Rev. Richard MATHER and his company, arriving 16 August 1635. (See notes on the "JAMES" voyage under William BALLARD family notes) Henry was one of the signers of the covenant by which the Dorchester church was founded, and was the first ruling elder of the church, continuing in that office for 29 years until his death. He was one of the selectmen of Dorchester in 1636, and was otherwise prominent in the affairs of the town and church, though there appears no record of his having been made a freeman. He shared in the division of lands in Dorchester, was a blacksmith by trade, and was one of the founders and original shareholder in one of the first ironworks in the American colonies, on Mill River in Taunton. James LEONARD, Sr., the original operator and founder of the iron works, evidently intended it be named for Henry WITHINGTON, notwithstanding the corruption of the name to "Whittingtin' and Whittenton." Henry purchased, 23 Apr 1638, and occupied the house built on the lot in Dorchester formerly owned by Matthias SENSION (or St. JOHN), who went from Dorchester to Windsor, CT, and was one of the founders of the church there. Many records attest to the fact that he was universally beloved, respected, and trusted. Rev. Richard MATHER called him "Beloved Friend," and made him overseer of his will in 1664. Rev. Samuel DANFORTH said of him: "A man that excelled in wisdom, meekness and goodness." In his will, dated 8 Jan 1664/65, he says that he is "about the Age of 76 yeares or upon 77." The inventory of his estate amounted to 850.17.3d. [see NEHGR 16:52-53] !NEHGR 75:143 | Withington, Henry (I22539)
