Finally!!! I subscribed to this list some time ago and posted my PYLES connection a couple of times with no new hits, but here we go. I have Michael Elmus PYLES in my records along with his children (fact is I just got that info in the mail today. He is descended from Felix PYLES (his father) and Michael PYLES - his grandfather. Michael owned about $7000 worth of property in Marshall Co in 1870. Felix is my 3G Grandfather! Here's my line: Michael PYLES and Martha BURLEY of Marshall Co/Wetzel Co. Felix PYLES and Evaline Rachel RINEHART of Wetzel Co John PYLES and Lucy BURTON (John and Michael Elmus were brothers - 2 of 10 children) of Wetzel Co. William L. Wilson PYLES and Alta YOCUM of Loudenville (near Cameron) Glenn L. PYLES and Florence Edna CROSSLEY of Jeff. Co, OH Judith L. PYLES and William R. MEYER of Jeff. Co, OH Roberta L. MEYER and Stephen A. MODRANSKI ( ME ) I have additional info on the PYLES line if you're interested and recommend you subscribe to the PYLES list. [email protected] "subscribe" in subject line. You'll find many wonderful cousins and some other Pyles that we aren't connected to. I can connect you with several direct descendants of Michael and Martha if you're interested.
