Just thought these three marriages between Pemberton and Lyon families of Washington County , Virginia were interesting .
In Washington County VA there is a record of a Nancy Pemberton (1755-1787) Marrying a Humbertson Lyon (1740?-1788) in the year 1765?.
Nancy's parents John Pemberton (1725?-1790) and Jane Coleman (1730-1790) had lived in King William County VA which is near Richmond , Virginia .
There is also a record of a George Pemberton (1744-1804?) of Adair and Greene Counties in Kentucky marrying the widow of a Humbertson Lyon of Washington County VA .According to written records this George Pemberton had received guardianship of the Lyon children and later had a lawsuit filed against him by two of Humberson Lyon's sons .
George Pemberton's family may have came from New Kent County VA which is near Richmond , Virginia and he may be a brother of Colonel John Pemberton and William Pemberton of Sullivan County , Tennessee .
In Wayne County KY we have another George Pemberton (1760?-1835) that according to legend had married a Mary Lyon (1762?-?) in Washington County VA . This George Pemberton is supposed to be the son of a Richard Pemberton Sr. who was born in Manakinton , Virginia which is near Richmond , Virginia .
