Hi Bill and other PYLE(S) kin! While I was at the library today I noticed a book called WEST VIRGINIA ESTATE SETTLEMENTS. (1753-1850). Among the entries in Monongalia County, there was one for Zachariah PILES, showing: Will 11-1840. wife-Susannah; sons were Uriah, Joshua, Elijah, John, Elisha, and Zachariah. Dtrs were Hannah Sine, Rebecca Cordray, Nancy Park, Sarah Eddy, and Cath (probably Catherine) Stull. I am hoping the son "John" is the elusive ancestor I have been searching for! Sara > believe I decended from Zachariah. However, there were several Zachariah > Piles' in the area about that time. > > Bill Pyles, Titusville, FL
