I have a lot of data on Robert Pyle descendants, and some brick walls as well. What are the next couple of generations of Robert Pyle/Ann Stovey line that you are following? The two children of his second wife did not live to adulthood, so we don't have those lines to follow. John had two wives and I have 9 children in my file. What are you seeking?

I have been going hit and miss for years but not really digging deep. Since I am retired I suppose I should get back to serious looking. I know some of his children were quaker. My Line comes up through his son John. Robert Pyle b. 29 Dec 1660 Horton, Parish of Bishops Cannings, Wiltshire, England; d. 17 Jan 1730 Bethel Twp, Chester Co. PA.; m. Ann Stovey 16 Nov 1681 Hilperton, Wiltshire, England. Robert and Ann were in Bethel, PA as early as 1684. They were both Friends and members of the Chichester Meeting, which sometimes met at their home, and in 1706 he was one of a committee to establish a meeting at Nottingham. He was a representative in the Provincial Assembly and a long time Justice of the county Court. May 1, 1683 Robert purchased 150 acres from William Smith of Wiltshire. The property was laid out to Robert in Bethel and he occupied the land soon after the survey was completed. By Aug 1684 he had constructed a home for his family. In 1711 he obtained 170 acres in Concord from Nathan Baker, and in 1715 he deeded the property to his son Jacob, who died unexpectedly in 1717.
