John Lyon, 4th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne (1663 – 1712) was a Scottish nobleman and peer. He was the son of Patrick Lyon, 3rd Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. He married Elizabeth Stanhope on 21 September 1691 and was succeeded as Earl by his son John Lyon, 5th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.

Marriage and issue

[edit]

On 21 September 1691, John married Elizabeth Stanhope, daughter of Lady Elizabeth Butler and possibly Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield. There are doubts whether he was indeed the father. In May 1695, almost four years after their marriage, he succeeded his father as the 4th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.

Together they had 10 children:[1]
