Dear List Members: I am Brenda Mason Pittman and I live in Florida. I like Frances Bruce, am a descendant of Michael Pyles and Martha Burley Pyles. Michael was born (April 23, 1814) in Pennsylvania and migrated to Virginia. He married Martha Burley who was born (May 14, 1820) in Virginia. Both Michael and Martha are buried in the Jolliffee Cemetery at Silver Hill, WV. I am a descendant of their son Felix Pyles, d.o.b. 10/26/1835. I am attaching a transcription of Michael's "Last Will and Testament". Perhaps someone will find this of interest. I believe Michael's father to have been John H. Pile, Jr. who married Margaret Knable. Anyone having information on either of these individuals, I could use your help. I believe John Jr.'s father to have been John H. Pile, d.o.b. 8/17/1775 in Hagerstown Maryland. He married Cathorin Dull about 1812 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Again I am accepting any information you are willing to share. I believe John's father to have been Casper Pile(Pfiles) who died about 1808. This is where my research has come to a stop. This seems to be a prolific group and I am sure we are going to be able to help each other. Brenda in Florida
