Notes in poss of Paul Baker. Cella says she remembers Jane Pyles Baker telling her that Jane's father Levi had gone off to the Civil War and never returned, leaving his wife with several children to care for. The 1880 Pulaski County Census lists Ann Piles as head of household living with children George W. and Harriett. Doyle's sources say Levi enlisted in the Union army and was probably detained in a Confederate prison.
