Dave, Thanks for the "PYLE" reply. Your Jonathan Pyle is born around the same time as mine but the family seems to be centered in PA whereas mine went to Morgan Co., OH. Ron Pyle sent me what I believe is the right Jonathan. Thanks again for the input, it doesn't hurt to try. Sharon ----------

Lynn, Thank you for the reply to my "PYLE" query. I will surely look up the book "PYLE-PILE Family in America 1642-1980." Would the book give me Jonathan's parents and siblings, and his children? As a matter of fact, I do have a Montgomery family but on another branch of the family, and no George until 1861. Good luck on that.

To all PYLE cuzzies, Would be interested in collecting data from all whos family of PYLE/PILES/ PYLEs ect. lead to PA. My PYLE Line is Joshua PYLE who is a cousin of Howard PYLE. Since there are many of us here, I would be willing to enter all data of people tracing their line to PA and make a gedcom file of all that data, for anyone who would like it. Evenutally, I would like to setup a complete file of all PYLE, all states, all information and make it available to everyone. I'm willing to give my time and effort to develope this project....are you all willing to help by submitting the information. Please let me know. Linda Newark DE

Sharon; According to the book of Pyle/Pile, Susan was the sixth generation from Ralph Pile who came from Wiltshire, England in 1683+. Her father Jonathon was born around the year 1788 and died July 1872. Her mother was Jane Mc Carroll, born 12-31-1794 and died in 1877 at the age of 84. In the 1830 census of Morgan county, Ohio their name is spelled Piles, but on page 038 it is spelled Pyles. They were one of the original members of the Presbyterian Church organized in 1849. Jonathon was assessor of Morgan County in 1851. Susan was the second born of 12 children.

Ron, Could you give us a pedigree chart of them? i.e. : fathers and mothers names (and maybe b. & d. dates) of each generation? I'm assuming this concerns Mary Withers, ca 1604-1667 who married John Pyle in Bishop's Canning, Eng.? Doris

Ron, I would be interested, might link up someday! Sara Ron Pyle wrote: > > For some unknown reason have, 13 generations of the Thomas Withers family > in my files. Would some one like that file?

Ron I would also be interested in this if it includes ancestors Carol

Yup, Ron, I am aware of all of this. The book, the history, etc. My BROUGHTON ancestors are descended from the deVernon who was with William. Have always been interested in history and enjoy studying Celtic migration patterns as well. My comments about these Greek folks were concerning their more immediate genealogy research rather than the ancient. <BG> Sara Plano, Texas Ron Pyle wrote: > > Sara; > Were you aware of this portion of my forthcoming book in the next > millenium, "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch?" of Hastings in 1066 and occupied "Old Sarum" or Salisbury until the year > 1087. > Coming from the North, the North Men or Norman's were actually Vikings > that originally settled in Scotland and then in Normandy on the coast of > France.

Sara; Were you aware of this portion of my forthcoming book in the next millenium, "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch?" Anton's classical dictionary defines the term Pylae as a word used in ancient Greece to describe a narrow passage or gate. Thermopylae or "Warm Gates" is a pass between Greece and Persia known for its hot springs. In the year 480 BC. a great battle occurred between the Persians and 300 Spartans and their allies at Thermopylae. The leader Leonidas sent the allies away when he found that a local Greek betrayed him and the battle was doomed. The Persians massacred the Spartans and the allies that went home named themselves Pylae in honor of their friends. Julius Caesar and his Roman armies later invaded Briton and among those armies were descendants of the allies from the battle at Thermopylae. When the Romans left Britain, a number of those who changed their name to Pyle remained in England. The names Pyle/Pile are first found in the 'Domesday Book' by William the Conqueror. William was a Norman King who defeated the Saxons at the battle of Hastings in 1066 and occupied "Old Sarum" or Salisbury until the year 1087. Coming from the North, the North Men or Norman's were actually Vikings that originally settled in Scotland and then in Normandy on the coast of France. They sailed to Britain to engage the Saxon's in 1066 at Hastings. The name Pyle was also found in the "Hundred Roll," a recap of the Battle of Hastings.

I talked to Rita this morning and she is doing fine, maybe taking a bit longer than she predicted to get her strength back. She says to tell everyone HELLO. Her computer is in the basement and she's not able to make it there at this time. She hopes to by next week. Just thought I'd let everyone know. I've had a lot of e-mails asking about her health. Doris

Well, I haven't heard from her either. She is still subscribed to the list and her mail isn't bouncing. Rita, we sure will be glad to hear from you! Sara Plano, Texas

Has anyone heard from Rita? I'm getting worried, it has been nearly a month since her surgery. Concerning the re-publishing of Howard's book, keep in mind that he is 83 years old and may not be 'up' to doing any revising and additions. I understand that he has moved from his long time home in Kokomo into an apartment. It would be great if it could be updated and reprinted into several volumes. It's too large to make acceptable copies as it is now. Guess we will all just have to print our own Family History !!! Mine would probably fill up 10 pages, at most !!! Doris

Hi Roger, The printer on the last (4th edition) was Amundsen Publishing Co.,Decorah, Iowa 52101. Howard told me on the telephone a few weeks ago that the publisher is very much interested in re-printing. There have been many calls and letters. I don't think we would be able to do anything to update the book though. Someone will just have to do another book. Sara previous addition and that could make it worth their while to print an > updated edition. > > Roger
