It seems probable that this Mary was of the family of William Lyon of Roxbury, Massachusetts. She was certainly a member of the Eliot Church in Roxbury.

No children of Nathaniel are recorded in Dorchester or in Canton records, but
the persistency of family names was very strong in Peter's line. It may, then,
be presumed that had Nathaniel had children, he would have handed down the
name. There appears in Needham a Nathaniel, who from the date of birth of his
eldest son would appear to have been born about 1710, and who died there in
1760. As this name does not occur in the Roxbury line, this Needham family
will.be assigned to a place among Peter's descendants, unless the assumption be
subsequently disproved. The name Thomas, occurring in the will of Nathaniel
without apparent cause, suggests that he may have had a brother Thomas.

Lyon Memorial lists birth as 28 December 1680.

Notes:

Of Nathaniel also very little is known; and he also preferred fighting to
weaving, for we find him in garrison at Springfield in 1676, during King
Philip's War. He was in Dorchester in 1700; but had a lease of land in Canton
from the Indians, and had 50 acres laid out to him by the proprietors on the
road leading to Dry Pond. His wife died March 27, 1705 in Dorchester; and the
Dorchester record, "Nathaniel, d. March 15, 1705," evidently refers to him.
