Mark, I have your Prudence Dutton who married Daniel Pyle as the daughter of John Dutton (III) and Rachel Colette. Do you have any information on this branch of your family. John is the son of John Dutton Jr and Prudence Reynolds. I am researching the Reynolds connection. I have information on Reynolds I would be happy to share. I have little actual information on the Duttons except how they are supposed to connect with the Reynolds.

I'm trying to identify several Pyles named in a 1794 deed that descended=20 through my wife's family for a plot of land straddling the border of Beth= el=20 Township, Delaware County, PA, and New Castle County, Del. I presume the= se=20 people are somehow related to my wife, but am not sure how. First, here's my wife's line: Robert Pyle (1660-1730) - Ann Stovey Daniel Pyle (1694-1756) - Mary Pennell Robert Pyle (1730-?) - Rebecca Hampton Daniel Pyle (1755-1833) - Prudence Dutton Dutton Pyle (1807-1880) - Margaret Zebley Owen Zebey Pyle (1842-1938) - Anna Mary Wood and so on=E2=80=A6 And I should probably mention that my wife's grandparents' farm - in Beth= el=20 Township, Delaware County - descended to them from the above Daniel Pyle=20 (1755-1833). The deed in question records a sheriff's sale of "a certain messuage or=20 tenement plantation & tract of (85 acres of) land" belonging to "Robert P= yle & Susannah his wife" because of an outstanding 70 pound debt to William Ge= st. =20 The land was sold on Oct. 28, 1793, to "Robert Pyle JUNIOR" (apparently=20 single, since no wife is named) for 251 pounds. One intriguing detail is that various members of the Gest family owned th= e=20 farm that descended to my wife's grandparents. The Gest heirs sold 200 a= cres=20 to a William Burnett in 1775; Burnett lost the property at a sheriff's=20 auction in 1787 when it was bought by Henry Hale Graham who sold 130 acre= s to=20 Daniel Pyle (1755-1833) in 1789. My main question is: Who were "Robert Pyle & Susannah his wife"? As you can see, we have a Robert Pyle (b. 1730) who could have been alive= at=20 that time. But his wife was Rebecca, not Susannah - although Susannah co= uld=20 have been a second wife. And, unfortunately, we don't know the names of = any=20 of Robert's children except for Daniel (1755-1833). Still, the deed DID descend down through my wife's line. To me that seem= s to=20 be circumstantial evidence of a relationship. Anyone have any insight on this? Mark E. Dixon Wayne, PA >>
Prudence sounds as though she descends from the large Reynolds Quaker family of Chichester and then Nottingham and Rising Sun area of Cecil Co. Be glad to help if you need it.
