Below is an exerpt from Ritas' note about new notes. This is the first time I have seen any mention of Pyles' moving to KY. I am so glad to see that there was a record of it. Thanks Rita. I was searching Nicholas to see if he was Benjamins' father. There may be hope yet!! >Here are a couple of excerpts I found in my grandfather's notes. I don't >know where he got these or how accurate they are. Thought I'd just pass them >along for anyone who might be interested. >1. >"One Nicholas Pyle, whose family came from England, is known to have been >married during the Revolutionary War to Anna Black. They lived in South >Carolina, where some of their children were born. Then they removed (on pack >horses) to Kentucky, where the rest of the children were born. They had >fourteen sons and five daughters. When they were quite old they settled with >their two youngest sons, in Sangamon County, IL."
