Zachariah Piles is probably the same Zachariah Piles who settled in the South Branch area of Hampshire County. Later took the McCullough Trail west to Monongalia County and to Core, WV. This trail passed through near Kirby (where our family settled and Zachariah was listed in many documents) and on to Old Fields, WV, to the area south of Oakland, MD, to Kingwood, WV and on to Morgantown and Core, WV. This was nothing but a buffalo trail made wider by the wagons and is marked on Rt 219 south of Oakland, MD. I believe I decended from Zachariah. However, there were several Zachariah Piles' in the area about that time. Bill Pyles, Titusville, FL
