Hi, I have hesitated to post anything, because I have just recently gotten info on my Pile ancestors and some of it seems somewhat conflicting. Thanks to Ron Pyle, I at least have lots of info to be confused about. Another recent net "cousin" is Connie Kuykendall(descended from Samuel Pile) and between them and Richard Manion (second cousin) this is what I have to date on the Pile/Piles/Pyle connections. Any information, stray thoughts or help would be appreciated. Rebecca (Pile) Barlow was my gggggrandmother. Generation No. 1 1. DR. RICHARD1 PILES was born Abt. 1678 in England, and died Abt.
