Stayton - 06 Feb 1832 Joseph Piles to Eliza Bland - 15 Jun 1829 Nancy Pile to Isaac Weathers - 03 Mar 1825 In correspondence with Ron Pyle regarding the search for our William Pyle and Mary Jones, I wrote: The marriage of William Pile and Mary or Polly Jones or Janes in 1801 doesn't line up with the rest of the family date-wise. Look at page 233 of the Pyle book: This article says William, the son of Benjamin b. 1766 & Ruth PARROT, married Polly Janes 20 Jul 1801. This doesn't jive with what Jane and Howard have. The rest of the children's marriages and spouses are exactly the same as Jane's except that they say they think there was a son, John. The next marriage in the family after 1801 is 15 or 16 years later...Jane gives this William a birth date of 1791 - no way was a 10 year old married in 1801! So, I'm back to this: This could be the marriage of our William and Mary, but they have pinpointed the wrong William. Jane doesn't list any children for Benjamin's brothers, William or Thomas, neither does this newspaper article! The article says William (the brother of Benj.) died in November 1807 - and says Thomas was a constable in 1797 and a deputy sheriff in 1800. Okay, okay...I'm looking for the article!
