The 1880 census for Buena Vista Twp, Schuyler Co, Ill shows the following: Joshua PILES, born in Ohio in 1831, his Wife Caroline SHUE PILES born in Ohio in 1835, and these children ; William H. born in 1855 in Ohio, Theodore born in 1858 in Ohio, Isabella born in 1861 in Ohio, Jane born in 1866 in Indiana, Harriet born in 1868 in Ind, Rosa born in 1870 in Ind, Emma born 1872 in Ind and Mary born in 1877 in Ind. The 1900 census for DeWitt Co, Ill shows Joshua, Caroline and William H. all there. The 1900 census for Brooklyn Twp, Schuyler Co, Ill, shos Theodore PILES, his wife, Viola LAMBERT PILES atheir children: Charles 12yrs, Stella 9 yrs, Audra 6 yrs and Hila 1 year. I did not know about William H. In 1920 there is an entry about him living with his brother in law John H. WADE. If anyone can shed any light on any of these people please let me know. Les Lee
