Talk:Patrick Lyon (blacksmith)

Year of birth
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." (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" == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 12:31, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
