This is the mail I sent in earlier, I'm sorry my welcome letter did not arrive in time to have the effect that I intended. However here I am ready for business and by the way I notified some of our family on the roots surname list, so more mail should be coming in. Cousin Ron. ---------- | From: Ron Pyle <piguy@goldrush.com> | To: PYLE-L@rootsweb.com | Subject: PYLE William; PA., VA. OH. IN. CA. USA; 1775 to present | Date: Sunday, July 13, 1997 6:17 AM | | First of all I would like to thank Sara for starting a list. This may be | what I need to finish a project that I started many years ago. | What a joke! Research is never finished as "Genealogists never die, they | just find another line." | | For those that are just starting and need help, I have much data on the | Pyle and associated families in my notes and have a copy of Howard and | Jane Pyle's book, "The Pyle-Pile Family in America, 1642-1980," I would | love to do look-ups. | | My search concerns the parents of William Pyle, born 1775 in PA. who | married Mary Jones or Janes of Virginia in the latter years of 1790. They | had many children but the most notable were Zachariah, Robert and Thomas | Pyle. They were born in VA, the others born after William and Mary settled | in Ross County, Ohio ca 1808. | | My g-grandmother said my gg-grandfather Robert Pyle was born in 1800 in | PA., rather than VA. | | Gg-grandfather Robert married Martha Malone in 1822 and my g-grandfather | William Pyle was born in Ross county Ohio. The family then moved to Eugene, | Vermillion County IN. | | G-grandfather William came overland to California in the early 1850's, | followed by g-grandmother Mary Mack Pyle, son Darius and dau. Laura Eliza | in 1854 by way of the Isthmus of Panama. The family settled in Solano | County Ca. | | Sorry for making my first posting on the new Pyle list so long, but the | more information we have the more we can help each other! | | Associated names are BRATTON, DOODY, JONES, MACK, MALONE, REA, ROCHE, | | Ron Pyle | Angels Camp, Ca. | |
