Surnames: Pyle / Allen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VVBBAEB/478.1 Message Board Post: George, I have cut and pasted your request below. You said it so well. I am searching for the parents of William Pyle. I believe he was born in North Carolina in 1805. He married Margaret Allen June 16, 1825 in Sumner County, Tennessee. They had 4 children: David Monroe, Fountain Pitcher, Mary Elizabeth and Joseph F. All of the children were born in Sumner County, TN. William and his 4 children were on the 1850 Census in Christian County, Kentucky. Margaret was not listed. Would like to know what happened to William and Margaret. In 1850 they would have been 44/45 years old. I have lots of informations on their descendants. Would appreciate any leads Your sentiment are exactly the thought we have expressed many times. Mary E. Pyle, the daughter of William and Margaret, is my great grandmother. Her daughter, Saral E. McCord is my fathers mother. Margaret and William, of course, is of great interest to me. We have traced William into Sumner County, Tennessee and can find him and his wife and children in the public school census in 2 or 3 different years. Sadly, though, only William's name is shown in these census records--the wife and children appear only as numbers. I would be happy to share our research with you and would appreciate, in turn, seeing what you have done on these lines. --- Ray Hall (The e-mail address given above is incorrect.
