I would be very interested in both GEDCOM files. I would also like to know what GEDCOM means. I'm somewhat of a novice, and it would help to have a glossary explaining some of the alphabet soup terms. Carol

Hi, I wanted to repost my Pyle names in case anyone new would recognize the names. My Pyle family seems to have stayed in Chester Co. PA . John Pyle b.1816 d. 9/18/1890 buried New Garden Meeting, Chester Co. PA m. Eliza (Pyle) I believe her maiden name was also Pyle ? but could be wrong b. 12/15/1813 d. 8/27/1892 buried New Garden Mtg, Chester Co. PA In the 1850 census there was an Elizabeth Pyle who lived with them would have been born around 1780. Children: Eliza A. Pyle Eli Pyle b.1849 d. 1927 ( my gg grandfather) m. Anna Cooper d/o Preston Cooper Naomi Pyle Edwards Amanda Pyle Cooper Jennie Pyle Paxson The children were born in New Garden twp. In a clip of John Pyle's death it said he lived near Jennersville. I have not been able to find either of their parents. If anyone recognizes these names please e-mail me at Masttrim@epix.net. Joanne

Carol, and other PYLE cuzzies. I am searching for Joshua PYLE b. abt. 1790 d. in DE 1872, have copy of his will, his children Hester(Esther) b. abt. 1825 in PA, Priscilla Pyle, Rebecca Pyle b. c. 827 in PA and Robert L. PYLE. Although this ggg grandfather is hiding from me...perhaps you've seen him. For other information, especially Carols line there is a gedcom file I downloaded fron Ancestry that has her line filled in. Would anyone like me to post the complete history, although not documented...since this is not my line. Or would anyone like a gedcom file of all the PYLE linesI have encountered...through EMail and the internet. As for me, I have been doing genealogy for about 10 years off and on. I have taken many courses on genealogy. I have just begun on the line (PYLE and PAYNTER) which is centered in PA and DE. I am a mother 4 children and grandmother of 5. Well cuzzies, lets continue to work together. This is a nice family that Sara has brought together. Thank you Sara for your hard work. Linda (Anyone needing records from Delaware....I would be glad to help)

This book is available in San Francisco University of Calif. at the special library called "The Sutro Library". I have used it and it is a good resoure for all to review. If anyone is planning a trip to San Francisco, this Library is a MUST DO . It was the private genealogical collection of Mr. Sutro and has continue to grow in collections over the years of all genealogy materials. Let me know if anyone needs more info on this Library, Diane

My earliest know PYLE ancestor was William PYLE, born abt 1803 in PA. His wife's name was Mary ?. They had 9 children; Issac M, Peter, Elizabeth, William C, Martha, Nathan, John B, Phebe, and Margaretha. William died in Saline Co Il abt May 1869. His son, Issac M. PYLE, was my GGgrandfather, born abt 1828 in PA. He married Matilda ? abt 1853 in PA. They had 7 children; Mary E, John W, my great grandmother, Sarah Emeline, Elmira B, Pheba J, Alpheus A, and Estella M. All were born between 1854 and 1870. Issac died in Saline Co Il abt Dec 1894. My Great grandmother, Sarah Emeline PYLE married Thomas A. SHAW 21 July 1875 in Saline Co Il. She was my last PYLE ancestor. Any help in developing any of these lines would be appreciated.

I've made a few corrections since the first post, mainly names I omitted. I've also included a paragragh from my family history which shows the brother of my ancestor settling in Illinois. This may be of help to someone. My main interests are in documenting the information I have and in tracing the spousal lines, particularly Baldwin, Owen, Bushell, Musprat and Withers. Other family names I'm working on are: Pritchard, Swails (Swales), FitzGerald and Ward. The Pyle line I'm working with goes back to John Pyle who was born in 1594 in Wiltshire, England and married Mary Withers. Their son, Nicholas N.2 (John1) was born 3-13-1625 in Wiltshire and died there 8-24-1691. He married Edith Musprat and they had 9 children, but I only have the following three names: Jehn Robert, b 1660 in Wiltshire, died 1730 Nicholas b 1666 in Wiltshire These three traveled to Chester County, PA in 1683. Nicholas3 (Nicholas N2, John 1) married in 1688 Abigail Bushell, daughter of John Bushell who died in Concord, PA in 1708. Nicholas and Abigail had 7 children. Again, I only have three names: Nicholas, b 2-26-1697, married Sarah Worrilow, daughter of John Worrilow and Ann Morris. Her sister Mary married Thomas Newlin. Samuel (Dr.), b 12-21-1700, in Concord PA, died 1749 in Kennett, Chester County, PA. Edith, married Nicholas Newlin. Samuel4 (Nicholas3, Nicholas N2, John 1), M.D. Samuel studied medicine in England and married Sarah Owen b 1702/3 in Burlington, NJ, d. after 1-26-1750 in Kennett, PA, daughter of Joshua Owen of Wales. Samuel and Sarah had 10 children: Nicholas, b 8-4-1722, married Mary Baldwin, daughter of John and Hannah B. Baldwin John b 8-4-1723 (or 1721) in Chester Cty, PA, died in Chatham Cty. NC, 1803/4 Edith, b. 2-3-1726 Abigail, b 10-4-1728 Sarah, b 15-1-1730 Mary, b 4-12-1731 Ann, b 13-1-1733 Samuel b 19-11-1736 William by 18-6-1740 Betty, b 23-2-1742 John5 (Samuel4, Nicholas3, Nicholas N2, John1),M.D. He was active in the regulator movement and Col of Loyalist forces attached to Tarleton in NC. For a description of the battle originally known as Pyle's Defeat, but later became known as Pyle's Massacre because of the criticism of Lighthorse Harry Lee's men, see "Oliver Wiswell" by Kenneth Roberts, a fictionalized account from the point of view of one of the Loyalist soldiers, pp 586-589, or for a more historic account, see "The Cowpen-Guilford Courthouse Campaign" by Burke Davis. Dr. Pyle married, in 1744, Sarah Baldwin, daughter of John and Hannah B. Baldwin John and Sarah had nine children: John, b. c. 1746 in Chester Cty, PA, married Sarah Brayshear, died c. 1818 in KY Samuel Susanna (Susan) Mary Edith Nancy Nicholas William, b. c. 1755 in PA, died in NC Jehu (Jehn) b 1766 in NC, died 1-1-1846 in OH Jehu(Jehn)6 (John5, Samuel4, Nicholas3, Nicholas N.2, John1) married Ruth Lindley, b. 1-7-1765 in Orange County, NC and died 12-12-1806 in North Carolina. She was the daughter of William Lindley and Mary Morton who moved to NC from London Grove Township, Chester Cty, PA. Jehu and Ruth had six children: Sarah John William, b 7-11-1788 (1783) in Chatham County, NC and died in Clinton County OH, 7-20-1875 Mary Jehu, b 12-25-1795(4) married Esther Stratton, and they had 11 children Edith William7 (Jehu6, John5, Samuel4, Nicholas3, Nicholas N.2, John1) married 12-19-1811 Mary Hadley, b 7-27-1792, in NC, died 2-7-1848 in Clinton County, OH. She was the daughter of William Hadley and Sarah Clark(e). William and Mary had nine children: Samuel, b 9-22-1812, NC, married Isabella Au(s)tin, daughter of Thomas and Eleanor. Jehu, b 9-8-1814, married Louise Carter, 3 children: Ruth b 8-15-1837 Samuel b 3-22-1840 Meriam b 4-17-1843. Mary, b 11-22-1816, married Thomas Austin Ruth, b 5-16-1819, married Isaac Hawkins John, b 11-21-1822, married Mary Ann Burnet David, b 1-16-1825 Sarah (Sally) b 11-9-1827, d2 dec 1901, married Moses Steddom b 26 Apr 1824, d 8 Aug 1893 William, b 2-3-1830, married Mary Carpenter Anna Maria, b 4-14-1837, Clarksville, Clinton County, OH. died 4-4-1871, Wilmington, OH Anna Maria8 (William7,Jehu6, John5, Samuel4, Nicholas3, Nicholas2, John1) married 11-26-1863/4 Calvin Pritchard, my mother's paternal grandfather. They had four children, all born in Wilmington, OH: William b11-14-1866 Edwin b. 2-27-1869 Carleton and Clifford b 10-17-1870. Most of this information came from unpublished family records, the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy (North Carolina and Ohio editions), and The Newlin Family by Algie Newlin. From the Biography of Calvin Pritchard by Esther Tuttle Pritchard: "Your grandfather (William6 Pyle), at his father's (Jehn/Jehu5) request, paid the latter a visit during his residence at Blue River, and they made a long horseback journey together over to Sangamon County, Illinois to visit Jehn's brother Nicholas(5). This was before either Indiana or Illinois were states." Parenthetical notes are mine. This trip would have taken place between 1814 and 1816. Jehn lived in Blue River from 1814 to 1818 and Indiana became a state in 1816. I don't have a birthdate for Nicholas, but he is always listed immediately before William who was born, in PA, c. 1755, and they were both listed as serving in the Kennett Militia in 1780.

I am searching the following surnames: PYLE-- William and Isaac (brothers) and John (Isaac's son). Arrived in Saline County by way of PA>OHIO>IN>IL.

Hey Ralph!! You are absolutely right! Thank you so much! I believe I'll call and see if his book is still available. This would have to be of interest to our southern lines for sure! Thanks.

As you know, I also have Howard Pyle's book. Do you have Lela This is the first time that I have seen anything on Livingston's Book. Would be interested in it. Bill Livingston's book? Is it still available? I remember some years ago, speaking with a gentleman on the telephone that had also published a book about the Pyles, primarily in the south. For the life of me I can't remember his name. Maybe Bill Pyles, a member of this list, will know. Sara

Dan, What are the names of the books you told me you had acquired several months back? And are they any good? Doris

This book is no longer in print. Mr. Pyle says he wants to sell what he has left in stock 'privately'. I corresponded with him recently and he said, "I can be excentric at 83, can't I ?"
