Richard, Write to the Preston County Chamber of Commerce and they'll mail you a Preston County map if you ask for it. Most of these are on it. I just got back from there and I got one of the maps. Not many cemeteries on it though. Bird's Creek is where my family is from and it's just North of Newburg on WV 92. Bird's Creek Road runs from 92 over to Just south of Kingwood. Only a few miles. I'm from Randolph County where Laurel Mountain is. It's just North of Elkins off US 219.

Eddie Sorry I can't help you. Shirley Pyle

Sorry I don't have information on any of our family going to MO. Shirley

Have been reading this correspondence and I'm wondering. . . One of my notes on my g-grandfather (William Cyrus Pyle) says he was born in St. Joseph, MO - 3/21/1875; however, his death certifiticate info in CA lists birth state as KY, as does his wife, Maudie Josie Gish's death certificate info (on-line only - have not obtained originals). Is there info on the marriages/children of their children and could it be noted on this list?? Thank you.

Looking for a Martin Vanburen Joseph Pyle, Jr who I knew in the US Air Force in England in mid 60s. If you know him and know how I can contact him, please advise. Thanks! Eddie C. McAfee.

Grasping at straws here trying to research my Mary Ann Pyle that was born June 27, 1827, in either Grant or Delaware County, Indiana. Don't know parents names, but her obituary in 1912 listed two sisters; Sarah J. Haynes and Rebecca Schrader. Sarah was living in Fairmont, In and Rebecca was living in Greentown, IN Does anyone know the family history of George P. Pyle that was listed in the 1840 Census for Jay County, Indiana?

Saw your note on the PYLE Rootsweb list. Benjamin Pyle is my wife's g.g.grandfather. We have traced Benjamin and Nancy back as far as their marriage in Morgan County, IL but we were unable to establish who his parents were. I have been researching this family along with Peggy Sue Pyle, a distant relative of my wife. How did you establish that Benjamin is the son of Nicholas Pyle JR. and that he was born in Christian Co., KY? One of the things on my list of items to do is to obtain a copy of the 1840 and 1850 census for Cass Co., IL and search for any PYLE and GISH families. There are no PYLE families in Morgan Co., IL on either census. However, in 1837 the northern portion of Morgan Co. became the southern portion of Cass Co. There is an Abraham GISH that owned several parcels of land in southern Cass Co. I believe that Nancy "might" be one of his daughters. Another researcher believes that Nancy was a foster child, born in Germany, and took on the name of her foster parents. Around 1846 Benjamin and Nancy moved to Delaware Co. Iowa. Prior to 1870 the family moved to Lawrence Co., MO. Benjamin died in 1875 and Nancy died in 1905. Both are buried in Fairview Cemetery near Marionville, MO. Please contact me for further information on this family. Ken Soper [email protected]

Thank you. Oh yes my maiden name was Thompson Shirley

I am not sure about that county, but will check him out. Thank you

I noticed Julie Pyle Hale's email. I have Benjamin PYLE, married a NANCY GISH in 1840, Morgan Co, Illinois. Thie Benjamion was a son of Nicholas, Jr Pyle, b. 1781. Ben was born in Christian Co, KY. Have you any GISH family data with a NANCY GISH??? [email protected]

Hello all you Pyle's et al. I am looking for my g-g-grandparents' Pyle - in Henderson, KY. My g-grandfather was William Cyrus Pyle, b. 3-21-1875, m. Maudie Josie Gish, who had one brother, Jim Gish. I have a picture of William's parents but there are no names on the back other than "Jack's dad's mom and dad" - Jack, Ernest Bethel Pyle, was my grandfather - another Ernest Pyle, but only famous to me! William had at least two brothers, Walter and Dennis and maybe a George Pyle, all from Henderson, KY. Emigrated to Los Angeles in 1925. Anyone have any info that might help, it sure would be appreciated! Thank you. Julie Pyle Hale Simi Valley, CA aka [email protected]
