I, too, am interested in the Pyle surname. My connection stems from my Van Meter family, originally of New Jersey, and who spread through VA, PA, and other states. I have a Henry Van Meter marrying both a Hannah Pyle and an Eve Pyle (the latter may have been a widow of that name), while Henry & Hannah's son, Nathan, is said to have married a Mary Ann Pyle. These people are said to have been of the Wheeling, WV area at one time. The only dates I have is that Nathan was b. ca l760, Mary Ann l764. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
