My line is Joshua PYLE who died in 1872, whos children were born in PA.

I don't know if their is a connection but my mother was a PYLES from Frederick in Schuyler County and we lived in Lewistown, Fulton County from 1930 on. My grandfather was Theodore PYLES from Ohio. His father was Joshua. Les Lee

Ron, This is indeed the family that Brenda Pittman and I are descended from. You said you had more. Please send it. Thanks.

My apologies for typos. The will for Thomas Pyles in Washington County, PA is in volume 6, page 150. I previously wrote that it was in volume 7. And the will for Susan Pyles was probated in 1845, not 1847. Dawn

This is from Brenda at ARoland846@aol.com Does this ring a bell with anyone? Sara I am looking for information on Leonard Pile(s) he was born in 1808 in North Carolina. I beliee his parents to be John and Mary Piles. Mary was born in NC and I think John was born in VA. I found John and Leonard in Tisomingo County, Miss listed on the Miss Territtorial and state Census 1837. I do not have a birth date for John but Mary was born around 1785. I have found Leonard and Mary on the 1845 Census for Mississippi in Tishomingo County, MS so I am assuming John died between 1837 and 1845. I also found a John Pile on the Virginia Tax Payer 1782-87 in Loudan County. Does anyone have any information on this family? Thank you in advance. Brenda.

I do not know if we are working on the same Pile line or not but if I even think someone is close i usually write. I hope you do not mind. I am also looking for a John Pile(s). I have found a John piles on the Virginia Tax Payer of 1782-87 in loudan county. He had four slaves at the time. Do you know anything about this John Piles/ Brenda (also)

Dear List Members: I am Brenda Mason Pittman and I live in Florida. I like Frances Bruce, am a descendant of Michael Pyles and Martha Burley Pyles. Michael was born (April 23, 1814) in Pennsylvania and migrated to Virginia. He married Martha Burley who was born (May 14, 1820) in Virginia. Both Michael and Martha are buried in the Jolliffee Cemetery at Silver Hill, WV. I am a descendant of their son Felix Pyles, d.o.b. 10/26/1835. I am attaching a transcription of Michael's "Last Will and Testament". Perhaps someone will find this of interest. I believe Michael's father to have been John H. Pile, Jr. who married Margaret Knable. Anyone having information on either of these individuals, I could use your help. I believe John Jr.'s father to have been John H. Pile, d.o.b. 8/17/1775 in Hagerstown Maryland. He married Cathorin Dull about 1812 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Again I am accepting any information you are willing to share. I believe John's father to have been Casper Pile(Pfiles) who died about 1808. This is where my research has come to a stop. This seems to be a prolific group and I am sure we are going to be able to help each other. Brenda in Florida

Does anyone have any additional brothers & sisters for David & Zachariah, son of James Pyles in West Virginia. David moved on to Licking Co OH and some of their descendents ended in Fulton Co IL. Bob
