On the file folder JOHN PYLE is typed on the label. Once I got > inside and looked at the handwritten document is was clearly Jehu that > brought the suit. > On paragraph 2 it has printed in Pyle book . " Among his sons: John, > Samuel, Nicholas, William and John, your Orator." If this had been John, > he > wouldn't have named himself twice. > On page 1021, 11th line down it says, "...your Orator, his youngest > son..." > then in the 2nd paragraph, same page, ..."And your Orator sheweth that at > the time of execution of said Deed he was an infant under the age of > twenty-one years, to wit of about sixteen years of age and then living > with > his father..." > > This was obivously not John but Jehu. Also notice he named Samuel before > Nicholas. The Pyle book has Nicholas born 1748 and Samuel 1758. It is > widely written that Nicholas volunteered for the War of 1812 and fought in > the Battle of New Orleans which was Dec, 1814 to Jan 1815. If Nicholas > were > born in 1748 he would have been 66 or 67 at the battle. > If their dob were reversed it would seem more likely Nicholas would have > been born in 1758 and 56-57 at the battle and more credible. > > It has been widely questioned why Col.
