Disambiguation :

1) Anna Lyon is mis-identified as spouse of William Blake (b. 20 Sep 1620) in biographical notes included in his Find A Grave (FAG) Memorial (see Sources section below). This information is unsourced and in conflict with substantiated genealogies, these genealogies presenting William Blake (b. 20 Sep 1620) as husband of 1st wife Anne Breck, not 1st wife Anna Lyon. This misinformation may be due to conflation with Mrs. Hannah (Tolman) Lyon, who was 2nd wife of William Blake (b. 20 Sep 1620) with whom William had no known issue. Profiles are in process of updates concerning this information including reassignment of children's maternal parentage from Anna Lyon to Anne (Breck) Blake.
