Kyle was born in Port Glenoe, County Antrium, Ireland 10-2-1842. He married Mary Glasgow of Allegheny County, Pa. They lived in Middlesex Township, Butler County. Did the spelling of the name change? There are Keil and Kyle. I'm interested in how your great grandfather came to be named Thompson. Glee
