I also have a John C Pyle (my gr-great-grandfather) that was born in Wayne Co., Oh., April 6, 1838 and died Oct 25, 1926. (He also fought in the civil war and got a pension) He also had brothers; Andrew Jackson Pyle, born Mar 8, 1829, Philadelphia, Pa., Robert Pyle, born Aug. 10, 1830, Philadelphia, Pa., George W Pyle, born April 5, 1837,Wayne Co., Oh, and one sister Martha Pyle, born Dec 1833, Oh. They are all buried in Jay, Adams and Wells Co., Indiana. Their father was Robert Pyle, born August 10, 1799 in NJ. He died April 7, 1865. He was married to Mary Ann Leslie born June 14, 1801 in Pa., and died May 14, 1871. Both are buried in Wells Co., In (On Roberts death certificate it states his mother was Mary Ann Sisson!) I have also hit a dead end with Robert! Any help would be appreciated! If fact, there was a dedication to the Pile Building in Geneva, Indiana on January 10, 2004. Here is a brief synopsis of the dedication: THE PYLE BUILDING Built in approximately 1895 following two major fires in downtown Geneva, the Pyle Building was part of the holdings of local entrepreneur George W. Pyle, who owned several plots of land within the small community, commissioned his namesake building in the Romanesque Revival and Italianate tradition of architecture. Over the past century, the Pyle building has served the town in many ways-as the home of several dry-goods stores, a furniture store, a photography studio, a millinery shop, an exercise business, grocery stores, a tavern-and even, for a time, a worm farm. Some of the building's first tenants were the 2Ikes General Store, Hamma Furniture and Undertaking, and the Globe Restaurant and Bakery. Some long-time residents will recall the building as Chew-s Garment Factory from the 1930's - 1940's. In 2000, the Pyle Building, rundown almost beyond repair, was purchased by the Geneva Proud organization with as eye toward renovation. In late 2002, the Town of Geneva obtained an Indiana Department of Commerce Community Focus Grant to renovate the building as a community center and town hall. _______________________________ Gerry Del Rio 4911 Top Royal Lane Jacksonville, FL 32277 904-725-8753 gldelrio@bellsouth.net -----Original Message----- From: Connie Carnes [mailto:ccarnes@horizonview.net] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 3:55 PM To: PYLE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PYLE] Pile/Pyle Family Research in England Hello Fran, I have a John Pyle born abt 1815 in Ross County, OH. He married Elizabeth Dresback born abt 1818 in Ohio, and married 31 December 1835 in Ross Co., OH. I have 8 children born to them. I think Ron Pyle may also have this info. I doubt if it's your John, as I have totally struck out trying to connect to anyone on this Pyle forum. My William came from PA to Ross County, OH, and my husband comes down from him thru: Harrison, Robert Newton, Given Elwood, Beatrice Pyle Carnes, then my husband, Don E. Carnes. Just can't seem to connect to anyone. We do know that my husband Don, is third cousin once removed to Ernie Pyle, the WWII War Correspondent.
