Jodean; Received your query and have found the Elizabeth Piles that you mention, in fact I found Elizabeth who died in 1723 (no birth date) married Anthony Drane (no dates.) She was the dau of Frances Piles 2. This is on page 187 of the Pyle/Pile bluebook. On page 190, I found the granddaughter of Frances Piles 2 and the dau. of Leonard Piles, Elizabeth Piles marrying Thomas Drane (no dates) Leonard Piles will proved 2-21-1774 left part of his estate to Elizabeth Drane. Frances Piles 2 was born in 1660 and his son Leonard was born 1702. Leonard Piles had 9 children, the third was Elizabeth Drane, the ninth was Elizabeth the Younger. This is how our ancestors confused us. On page 9744 of the bluebook, I found the dau of James W. Pyles, Nancy Piles marrying Charles Jackson Drain on 4-3-1898 in Athens, Ohio. The address of the searcher of these marriage records is Mrs. Mary Bookover, 837 1st St., New Martinsville, WV. I'll keep an eye out for more info.
