Census
1850 census of Bath Co., Ky, division 2, enumerated 23 July, lists on p. 14 as family #96:
Robert Lyons, 38, farmer; Cynthia A., 26; George W., 3; Allen, 1. Benjamin Corey, 10. All born in Kentucky.
1860 census of Bath Co., Ky, Owingsville P.O., enumerated 2 July, lists on p. 90 as family #660:
Robert Lyons, 47, farmer; Cyntha, 38; George, 13; Allen, 11; Henry, 2. Francis Hart, 19; Edward, 4/12. All born in Kentucky.
At the very bottom of the page are three Lyons children recorded with the Reuben Copher family:
1860 census of Bath Co., Ky, Owingsville P.O., enumerated 2 July, lists on p. 90 as family #665:
Reuben Copher, 35, farmer; Melvian, 25. Mary Lyons, 8; Armilda, 6; John, 4. All born in Kentucky.
In the 1870 census these three children are listed with Robert and Cynthia. I know of no relationship between that Copher/McQuithy and this Lyons/Sexton one, so it is possible that this is one of those cases where a census taker accidentally skipped some members of a family, and put them at the bottom of the page when he noticed.
1870 census of Bath Co., Ky, Sharpsburg precinct, enumerated 8 June, lists on p. 11 as family #76:
