My name is Sandi Ford. I live in Champaign, Illinois. I am working on the Pyle family from Lawrence and Beaver Co. PA. My great-grandfather was James Pyle, born March 1, 1839. The 1850 census shows a James Pyle age 10 living with Mathias and Mary Shafer of Lawrence Co. I am looking for his parents. He also had a brother Martin Pyle from New Castle, I have found some information on him. He also had a sister Kate Pyle, possibly Victor or Victory that was listed in great=grandfathers obituary being from Indianapolis. My great-grandfather moved to Hancock Co., Indiana and married Elizabeth Miller in 1861 in Hancock Co. In about 1880 they moved to Mattoon Illinois, which is where my grandfather William Arnold Pyle was from and also my father Howard James Pyle. That is where I went to school. My grandfather was born in 1880 and my father in 1920.
