Hello Laura: thank you for that. Eliza Pile is one of mine (a 5th cousin)! However her father's name was Richard Parris Pile. He moved with his family from Barbados to Philadelphia in 1837 and died there in 1847. His wife, Eastmond, nee Barrow was still living in Washington in 1887. Eliza married (her cousin) Conrade Pile in Washington D.C. in 1847, but they obviously returned to Barbados as their children were all baptised there from 1847 on, and Eliza died in Bdos in 1916. However, her younger sister Eastmond Pile who was born in Washington in 1841, married very well indeed! Her husband was Osceola C. Green, "the son of John Green & Ann Forrest (1790-1870); The Forrest family owned Twin Oaks Estate, now the Taiwan Embassy" (and which Osceola inherited; his wife sold it in 1888 to a Bostonian, Gardiner Green Hubbard). "Considered the largest privately owned estate in Washington, D.C., Twin Oaks, which is nearly the size of the White House compound, was placed on the National Register for Historic Sites on Feb. 5, 1986 in recognition of its storied past and architectural significance." Lots more interesting detail on the Forrest family and Twin Oaks can be found with a Google search. -----Original Message----- From: caribbean-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:caribbean-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of LALDERSON@nc.rr.com Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 1:09 PM To: Caribbean List Subject: [Carib] 2 of 2 -- Girls to Moravian School 1786-1882 Folks, Yesterday I began the list of girls from the Caribbean who attended the Moravian School in Bethlehem, PA.
