Epidemics and Military Battles Military campaigns were stopped or the outcome completely changed by insect borne epidemics. Typhus [Any of several forms of infectious disease caused by rickettsia, especially those transmitted by fleas, lice, or mites, and characterized generally by severe headache, sustained high fever, depression, delirium, and the eruption of red rashes on the skin. Also called prison fever, ship fever, typhus fever (American Heritage Dictionary) ]was the lead actor in many military battles, and determined how many each side had to fight with Xerces' invasion of Greece. Xerces, a Persian, tried to capture Greece several times Famous battle of hermopylae with Spartans, for example Xerces entered Thessalonia with an army of 800,000 men. He soon lost 300,000 men to what was probably either plague [Disease of over one-hundred animals, including rats and humans. Infection occurs from flea bites and can go from people to rats, people to people, or rats to rats. The Center for Disease Control has an excellent site with information on plague, http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/plagindex.htm including diagnosis, treatement, and vaccine info.] or dysentery, and abandoned the campaign and swept back into Asia. The Great Crusades In 1098, a Christian army besieged Antioch An epidemic killed 5,000 of their 7,000 horses. Armored horses = modern tanks Of the second crusade, led by Louis VII of France, and half a million men, only a handful survived Crusade of 1190 and 100,000 men reduced by famine, plague, and desertions to 5,000 men! WHY: Large group of men moving throughout country, sleeping close together, liberal use of local populace, poor sanitation. European Battles In 1566, army of Maximillian II of Germany and 80,000 men prepared to attack the Sultan of Hungary An epidemic of typhus was so violent that the campaign was abandoned 1708, Swedes lost Southern Russia due to plague outbreak Founding of the Haitian Republic Napoleon sent General LeClerc with 25,000 men to put down a revolution there, and yellow fever (mosquito transmitted) killed 22,000 of the French. So, Haitian Republic was eventually formed. Napoleon's Russia Campaign of 1812 Napoleon's army started with about 450,000 men After the battle of Ostrowo, 80,000 sick from dysentery and typhus Retreat from Moscow began October 19th, 1812, with not more than 80,000 men fit for duty About 6,000 finally made it back The Crimean War of the 1850's >From 1853 to 1856, this war was fought on the Crimean peninsula, a land mass on the North shore of the Black Sea The Russians were opposed by the French, British, and Turks Purpose was for the Russians to gain control of Crimea Statistics: Country*Died-Wounds*Sick*Died Disease French 20,356*196,430 *9,815 English 18,283*144,390*17,225 Russians 92,381*322,097*37,454 Happy Hunting, Sandy Monmouth Co., NJ Surnames: TILTON & HARRIS, PYLE & MORAN Mercer Co., KY Surnames: PATTERSON & BUNTON, LAWSON & McGINNIS "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." --- Helen Keller

Lacretia would be my ggggrandmother. I am aware that she died in Lexington but I have yet to discover where she may rest. I have visited her husband's grave site in Kentucky on numerous occasions as his son, Henry G. rests there too.

Can anyone tell me where Lacreta Grant Keys Pile, wife of William Pile, is buried? I was told that it was Lexington, Kentucky. I found the following from a book titled "Breckinridge County Marriage Records": January 26, 1813 William Piles to Nancy Jones. I found the following from a book titled "Breckinridge County Court Records": June 15, 1818, Page 295: "On the motion of Mrs. nancy Pile, widow of William Pile, dec'd., Nathan D. Anderson is appointed guardian for her infant son William Harrison Pile, whereupon he with James Moredock and John Sterett her securities entered into bond in the penalty of $1000 conditioned agreeable to law." January 15, 1821, Page 183: "An account of Nancy Pyle against her for William Harrison Pyle for boarding, clothing & etc. amounting to $3.94 was adjudged reasonable and it is ordered that Nathan D. Anderson the guardian pay the same out of money in his hands, which by law may be applied to the payment of the same." Can anyone tell me if this same William Pile also married a woman by the name of Mary Polly Janes? Thanks

I was in the third or fourth grade when Ernie was killed and got the news via the Weekly Reader. My father denied any relationships to anybody and it was not until 1995 that I found that Ernie's father and my grandfather were first cousins. I visted Ernie's memorial last week in Dana and was very impressed with the presentation there. However it is very evident that they are not interested who Ernie's relatives are. ---------- : From: [email protected] : To: [email protected] : Subject: Re: [PYLE] the great Ernie Pyle : Date: Wednesday, August 30, 2000 6:21 PM : :

Is anyone researching the family of Nicholas Pyle and Edith Musprat. I had received some information that Edith Musprat's parents were Thomas Musprat and Edith Biffen/Byffen. Edith Biffen's parents were Nicholas Biffen & Edith Myles. Does anyone know if this information is correct and what sources were found. I have another question. I have been looking at the book The Pyle-Pile Family in America by Howard Thornton Pyle. Does anyone know when Howard wrote his book did he use the dates according to the Julian calendar for the dates prior to 1752 or did he use the Gregorian Calendar? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sharon Reinhardt AZ
