Chittenden Lyon

Chittenden Lyon, son of Matthew Lyon, represented Caldwell County in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1822 to 1824, when the area that later became Lyon County was still part of Caldwell County. As a Jacksonian, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives from March 4, 1827 to March 3, 1835. In 1854, some twelve years after his death, Lyon County was created from Caldwell County and named in his honor.
