Hi Harry, I have saved your query and will work on this. I hope that some of the other list members can join in doing some lookups because if only one person is doing them and posting results it will really be slow here! In the meantime, I would like to see the information you might have on Zachariah and Elijah PYLE(S) of Monongalia. I have some info from the PYLE-PILE Family in America and a few records from other sources. I have suspected for a long time that "my" John might be a descendant of Zachariah. Thanks.
