Thanks Tom, This is as far back as I have been able to get with the line. I suspect that the Jonathan PYLES (PILES) that was also in what was then part of Harrison Co., now Marion Co., to be the father of these two brothers. Sara John PYLES,b.@1783,probably PA, m Sarah BOOHER, 23 Nov. 1805, Harrison Co.,Va (WV), his brother, Nathan PYLES Barbara, s/o Sarah BOOHER, in Harrison Co. on 2 July 1801. Barbara's name is sometimes shown as Barbary or Basbany. This couple is the one that my husband is directly descended from. These BOOHER sisters were the daus of Henry BOOHER.
