Let me tell you that since I had my big break on my husband's PYLE line a few weeks ago, I have been swamped in data relating to intermarriages of PYLES/DAVIS/WATKINS/STARRETTS/TETRICKs in Va/WV. It's kind of like that old joke about West Virginia: 5,000,000 people -- 15 surnames! Sara RootsWeb Sponsor PYLE PENNY

Dr John Pile's tenth child (according to Howard Pyle's book) was Susannah Pile born in 1764 and died in 1850. she married Edward Justice and they had 3 daughters ; Martha Justice born in 1808, married Ricahard Freeman and their issue was Dr. Franklin R. Freeman. Sarah Justice married ____Bridges Elizabeth Justice married_____Dunken Just a few tidbits to get the ball rolling! Ron Pyle P.S. to PYLE-L members, I belong to a few of these other lists in order to keep my nose into what others are doing and sometimes some good stuff pops up. As an example: The Bratton list, They came from Wiltshire and I am connected to four families in this line. Even my ex-wifes family (Bristol) is there. Speaking of my ex'es family, they kept such excellent records down through the years that when I did the Bristol's history it took three days to go from the present to 1440. Wuldn't that be nice. The reason it took me three days was that her grandfather was such a cad that the records stopped at him from both directions. I had to contact the person who wrote the book on the family to dig up his b-dates and d-dates. I also found that dear old Grandma Loomis that expected the best of everyone, didn't even know what state she was born in I suspect it could be the traits of one family to be into bookkeeping while others are farmers. The Harvey side of my family has their records back to 1449. That actually takes some of the fun out of genealogy. My children were all very intelligent. My son burnt out in the sixth grade from boredom, my other three stayed with it and do well with their lives, but my neice (a Bristol) graduated from high school at the age of 16 (saved her parent's from buying a car until the last minute) and is now serving a fellowship at the University of Florida, majoring in statistical mathimatics. When we have time, I'll write about cousins marrying and how it affects us . One boring day I e-mailed one of our cousins who is a professor of such things and he explained the effect it has on the gene pool. Very interesting to find out with as many 1st cousin marriages we have in the Pyle family. I guess most families were much the same when they didn't have the bright lights of the city right around the corner. Another boring letter to start your day off. Ron

can some one tell me how to unsubscribe from this list. It is getting to be too much mail. Thanks

Around 1740, Samuel Pyles married Sarah Upham from Charleston, SC. They settled in St. Augustine, FL, and Samuel became a major trader with the Creeks in Georgia. They also acquired some land in Glynn Co, GA, and their children settled there. Some of their descendants settled in Brazil after the Civil War. Anyone have any idea where Samuel Pyles came from? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Ron, I appreciate the info, I am so excited you just added another link to our Pile Family. I had no idea who Benjamin's parents were.

I just recently started to work on the Pile Family, so any help and advise would be appreciated. This is also my first mailing list to join and thanks to you I have already learned new info. Can you tell me if you have info. on Richard and Elmina family. I show they had 8 children. 1.Hanie m. Tom Snow 2.Etta m. Wayne Houseman 3.Willie m. Lucy Houseman 4.Katie m. Andrew McGary 5.Ruth m.

This family goes back to Prince George County MD. with Dr. Richard Piles 1, Willam 2, Richard 3, Benjamin 4 and Joseph Van Meter Pile 5. The Pyle Book by Howard Pyle has much information on this family. If you let me know exactly what information you are seeking, I can do look-ups for you.
