Vicki; Most of this history is based upon assunption and speculation. A little hope is thrown in for good measure. I'm still looking for a connection between William and Mary Jones Pyle and Leonard, Francis and Richard Piles of Maryland. It would seem that if there was a connection in California, it was preceded by some type of relationship in the East. I'm hoping that time will tell. Thanks for the response.
