J.L.G. - Inre your 10:50 of 18 Oct resent on the maillist 13 Nov. FYI Clarion County, PA was not formed until 1839. The Southern half had been part of Armstrong Co. I suggest you look for your Pyles family in Madison and Redbank twps in Armstrong Co. There is no mention of Daniel or Abraham Pyles in my copy of "The History of Clarion County, Pennsylvania" by A.J. Davis, 1887.
