Hi Michelle, I am copying this note to PYLE-L in case someone has info to share. Your note is at the bottom of this one. In checking the Howard PYLE book, I found some pages dealing with Caleb PYLE and his first wife Annie SHOWALTER and the second wife ?? HUBBARD. However, it does not mention a dau named Sarah. According to the book, Caleb and Anna (who was Dutch and did not speak English) had three children born in DeKalb, IN: John Showalter Pyle, Katherine Pyle and Miller Pyle. After the family moved to Macon Co.Missouri in 1891, Anna died and that is when Caleb married the lady with an unknown first name, HUBBARD. The second wife bore Caleb two more children: Anna and William. I did find one person in this line who married someone with the surname of HANNA: John Howard Pyle, b.25 Mar 1906 Sheridan WY, m. Lucile HANNA. Not much help to you I am afraid, but I am hoping that someone on the list might help too. We would love to have you join us on PYLE-L and there is no charge. Just let me know and I'll sign you on. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

My Pyle line is from Chatham, Chester Co., PA. The farthest back I go is around the early 1800s to a William Pyle Sr. who married an Ann Miller. Their son William Jr. was born 15May1832 in Chatham, Chester Co. and died 11Dec1900. He married a Mary Jane Holstein. My Grand father, Alfred L. Pyle son of William Jr. was born in London Grove, 06 Sep 1856. I don't have any information back further and I am seeking to break this wall down. Can you help?

Shirley, When you get home would you please e-mail me. I'm related to Zachariah Pyle and am looking for my ggrandmother, Rebecca Pyle, b abt 1830. Maybe they will be in your book. Thanks and hope you are having fun. Arden and Ethel [email protected] wrote: > Hi. > > Is your Pyle family from Chester County, Pa? > > I have the big Pyle book that Howard Pyle published.

Can anyone help me? According to the information given to me, Harriet Atwood Pyle, was born 13 November 1824, in Maine, daughter of (unkown) Pyle and Margaret Farleigh. She died 24 September 1908, in Humbolt County, Iowa. She appears in the 1900 Census in Kossuth Co., Iowa, Lu Verne Township, where she is residing with her daughter Elizabeth Hughes and Elizabeth's husband Lasley Barton. Harriet married George Arthur Russell Hughes (birthdate and death date unkown) who was reported to have been born in Pennsylvania. Harriett and George were the parents of fourteen children. Some of the children were born in Youngstown, Mohoning Co., Ohio; some in Pennsylvania; some in Illinois; and the last two were born in Iowa. I am descended from their daughter Mary Viola Hughes, born 25 March 1852, in Youngstown, Ohio. I would appreciate any leads. Thank you.

I'm new at this and what does this mean? Did I push the wrong button or something? Thank you. Shirley

Hi. Is your Pyle family from Chester County, Pa? I have the big Pyle book that Howard Pyle published. (we are not in it, though) There is a Samuel Pyle, that was a nephew of Isaac that stopped by Wayne County, Indiana on his way to Ill. I think this was around 1827 or 28. I am not at home so I do not have my book. Could this be off your line? I will be back home by this time next week. Thanks for answering my e-mail. Shirley Pyle

Thank you any way Shirley

The Pyle book gives my line on page 483 with William, Robert and William. However, the Pyle book places Robert's birthplace as Virginia in 1800, while my Great-grandmother Mary Mack told us he was born in Pennsylvania in the late 1700's and then coming to Ohio with his parents. We are at a brick wall and I was just checking if Mary could have been correct. Thank you for the response. Ron Pyle Angels Camp, Ca.

19 June 2000 Dear Patterson, Thank you for the information regarding Paul Pyle's who live in Ohio! Unfortunately, I live in Indiana, and I haven't the slightest idea where the Paul Pyle I met in 1967 lives (or lived). He may be long dead. I assume he was a cousin or nephew of my grandfather. I met him at my grandparent's house. To my knowledge, it was the only time I ever met him, although I may have met him earlier when I was much younger. I don't remember. I have been on vacation for two weeks, so I am just now finding your message. Sorry for not responding sooner, but I didn't even take my computer with me! Anyway, thank you for your reply!

19 June 2000 Dear Ron, I just returned from vacation and found the message below. No, the story is similar, but the events are not the same. My great-grandfather, Curry S. Pyle, who was born in 1873 had a liason with my great-grandmother, Minnie (maiden name not known to me), who became pregnant in 1896. Her family in Geneva was shocked beyond belief (as you might imagine in 1896 in a very small village farming community in Indiana!) and were even more put out by the fact that she married Curry Pyle. After two years, he seems to have abandoned her and to have gone to Florida, where he resided most of the rest of his life. The family story is that he did try to reconcile with my great-grandmother, Minnie, at some time (when, I do not know); however, her family remained adamant about no reconciliation taking place. Minnie, meanwhile, married my step-great grandfather, Jim Krause, with whom she remained until she died in Indianapolis in 1941. I knew my step great grandfather very well when I was young, and remember him fondly. He died in 1970 at the age of 94. He was quite an old codger who had a third grade education, but several patents on things (including an automobile jack!) which he invented. He was a remarkable man, though I can imagine him being a bear to live with as a husband!

Hi Sue, I am copying this note to the PYLE list (of which you are also a member). There are only about 6 subscribers to the PILE list and over 220 on PYLE. The PYLE list covers all variants of the name including PYLES. Thanks for the posting.

James, Here are the birthdates of our Pyle siblings as I have them: 1. Nicholas, 1794-c. ca 1867 in Kaufman Co., TX 2. Abraham, 1795- d. aft 1860 in Stewart Co., Ga. 3. John, 22 Feb 1796- d. 6 Jan 1869 in Kaufman Co. 4. Samuel Eason., 24 Nov 1797- d. June 1841 in Sumter Co., Al 5. Thomas, 1800- d. bef 1850 in Caddo Par., LA 6. James B., 1804- d. aft 1866 in DeSoto Par., LA 7. Peter, 1809- d. Oct 1879 in DeSoto Par. 8. Sarah Ann Pyle Westbrook, 1812- d. 1844 in Miller Co., AK I believe you have Samuel's dob a little too late also, (1770-74, don't know where that came from originally). Charity was born in 1762 according to 1850 census and I doubt she was that much older than he. She was listed as 88 years old on the Stewart Co., GA. census living with Abraham. 1800 (Oglethorpe Co., GA) has her 26-45; 1810 (Jasper Co., GA) still 26-45 and 1820 (Henry Co. GA) is 50-60. They don't appear on the 1830 although we know Samuel is still alive living in Henry Co. He bought/sold land after 1830. Charity drew in the 1832 land lottery as a widow. The 1850 census stated that John was born in GA, 1860 said SC. I take the info on the census' rather lightly in some cases. :) Thanks for all this "digging", Doris

Any idea what the "V" stands for in Everitt V. Pyle's name?

The information you have provided to us on Nicholas Piles-Pyle over the past few weeks has given me hope that we will find a connection between my husband's ggrandfather, Edward Degustus Pyles-Pyle, b.1844 and Nicholas. We have information that Edward Degustus Pyles-Pyle's mother was named Mary. They lived in St Clair County, Alabama. Earlier, JamesSmee wrote that Mary Westbrook was married to Nicholas and lived in Shelby Co, Al for a few years and then Mary Migrated to St. Clair Co. Al. Edward Degustus "Gus" Pyle married and lived in St Claire County where he had his family. If I could only find proof that Edward Degustus "Gus" Pyles-Pyle was their son I would be extremely happy. I had hoped to have this proof before the Pyle family reunion which is to be held June 24th in Alabama. If anyone has information I would greatly appreciate it.
