    3. Rena, I show Edith Pyle, b. 1754 in Chester Co., PA. was the daughter of Col. John Pyle and Sarah Baldwin who went to Chatham Co., N.C. ca 1766. Edith married James Steele in 1769. (this from a family chart) Pile/Pyle/Piles/Pyles of America by Howard T. Pyle states: Edith Pyle, b. 1754 in Chatham Co., N.C. d. aft 1820 in St Charles Mo. Edith married James Steele in 1769. He was born ca 1750 and was the son of John and Susan(Armstrong) Steele. He was in N.C. by 1791. James' family records state that he served in N.C. Army with Gen Marion and was wounded in early part of campaign. N.C. Records show he was paid thru the Treasury Office in Hillsborough for supplies he furnished the Militia in N.C., S.C. and VA. Rev. War Accounts Vol. IX, page 82 folio copy of the Original Index Book showing Rev. War Claims filed in S.C. 1783-1786 by James Revill and Documents Relating to History of S.C. During the Rev. War by Samacy, page 81. Also gave as source: Genealogy of Descendants of James Steele ansd wife Mary by Donley M. Stele, page 85 I feel that she was born in Pa before Col. John went to N.C. according to the date he went to N.C. This family goes back to the original John Pyle, b. 1594 in Bishop's Canning, Wiltshire, England. Doris
