Although this information is from the Roane County, WV Courts, it is in
regards to the Administration and Appraisement of the Estate of Peter LYON,
long-time resident of Aleppo, Greene, PA, son of Noah LYON, also of Aleppo,
Greene, PA and father of John LYON of Richhill, Greene, PA among others. I
thought it appropriate to post it to a site where people would be looking for
their relatives. Pam
