    3. Linda, From research done by one of my Pyle cousins, she says that according to Job Pyle's will of 1751 he leaves his plantation at Marborough to two sons, Amos and Caleb. To his daughter, Ann, he gives 150 pounds. These are the only children I know of. I don't have the names of the children's spouses except that Caleb Pyle married Sophia House. According to the Quaker records from Kennet MM, Job Pyle was dismissed in 1742 for marriage out of discipline. Elizabeth Bennett Pyle was also dismissed the same year for marriage out of unity. I don't know the reasons behind their dismissal but obviously they were counseled not to be married and did anyway. One possible reason could be that Job's mother was Olive Bennett and Elizabeth and Olive may have been too closely related (this is my theory only and I have no proof that this is the reason, nor do I know whether they were actually related or not but they both were Bennetts). Hope this answers your question. Dawn Myers myers@cobweb.net
