Hello Mary LaSHURE, Yes, I've owned a copy of the PYLE Book for about 12 years. It's an excellent reference, but I'm afraid there's very little information on the Hampshire Co VA PILES families, and some of what is there is wrong. It does not offer any insights regarding your Zachariah and Elizabeth JONES PILES. Do you have any clues as to where Zachariah and Elizabeth were for the 1860 and 1870 census? I'm curious about a 4 AUG 1874 marriage in Logan Co OH between Zachariah PILES and Elizabeth DEER. Logan sits near Miami Co, where your Zachariah PILES may have had some connections (i.e., son Benjamin living there in 1880). I thought this might be a second marriage for your Zachariah (with Arabel of the 1900 Henry Co IN census being the third). But when I found that Zachariah in 1880 Madison Co IN (borders Henry County), he was listed (both in the Soundex and in the actual census) as 38 years old (born VA, and the wife Elizabeth is 27, born OH). Your twin girls, Susannah and Sarah born 1863, are not in this household in 1880 (but I suppose they could have already left due to marriage.) There are a William (age 5 born OH) and a Minnie (age 1 born IN) in the household, so I believe this is the same Zachariah and Elizabeth who married in 1874. But unless there was a major census error, i.e., Zachariah actually being age 58, or something like that, I guess this is a different Zachariah (but likely somehow related due to the name, and the places of birth and residence). I suppose the census taker's original handwritten 58 might have been later transcribed as 38, but that's a stretch. I"d need some more evidence to start truly believing that. And of course the 1865 marriage record of John H. PILES (identified as a son of Zachariah and Elizabeth PILES) says he was a resident of Springfield, Clark Co OH in 1865 when he married Anna DAVIS. Clark County adjoins Miami County. Your Zachariah was presumably around there somewhere in 1860 and 1870, but does not seem to appear in the census indices, so we're stuck. Does any of this ring bells or make sense, relative to your search? I know this is a somewhat confusing posting, but it's a confusing line. Jim Smee Pittsburgh PA
