His son–also named John–and the younger John’s cousin William moved to Mecklenburg Co., NC, apparently in the 1780s."  John Pyron, born 1762, , listed above as a Revolutionary War soldier, was apparently a first cousin of William C. Pyron. So far I have not found details on his regiment, his pension application, if any, or anything else on his time in the war. The Pyrons I have encountered are all from either the John Pyron or William Pyron lines. William C. Pyron and some of his grown children lived in the Mint Hill area in eastern Mecklenburg county, N.C.. I have found three generation of them in the census of Mecklenburg county. My great-grandfather left Mecklenburg county before my grandfather was born in Mississippi in 1846. Monroe county, where William C. Pyron is buried, is the next county to the southeast of Mint Hill... I don't now about other Pyron lines, but my older sister Mary Pyron Bush on http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/.../1998-05/0896650935 says "Records of Levona Carney of San Jose, CA from the Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parrish, Hanover Co, Virginia, 1706 to 1786 found in Virginia State Library the following are listed. p 141. ordered that Thos.

During this initial enlistment, they marched into the State of Virginia and returned back home after two or three weeks, he was then furloughed for a short period of time. Later in the year of 1778, after his furlough had expired, Private Pyron was marched into the State of South Carolina, where they joined the Main Army under General Benjamin Lincoln at Purrysburg . This period of service as a Continental Soldier lasted approximately 9 months. He was engaged in the "Battle of Stono Ferry ", where he was wounded and hospitalized until the end of his enlistment. . After his service in SC, Private Pyron aided the Patriot cause as a wagon maker for the US Army at the shop of John Woods near Hillsboro, South Carolina. . His daughter Mary Pyron , who is our 4th great-grandmother, was born in Meckinburg in 1794. She was one of 12 of William and Mary Jane's children. Private William Pyron passed away on 27 January 1850 in Mecklenburg County NC. He was 94 years old. His name appears on the bronze plaque attached to the DAR monument in front of the old Union county courthouse in Monroe, NC. He is buried at Bentons Cross Roads Baptist Church Cemetery in Union County, North Carolina."
