Hi: You ask, "Is Nila or Nyla a name common in Raleigh County?" Nyla and the spelling Nila are used in Raleigh County. I have the name in my genealogy file about 8 different times. I don't believe its use is enough to say that the name is common in Raleigh County. It is not a name that I see often anywhere. However, we have another subscriber to this list who uses the spelling Nila. Nyla ==================== Ok guys..I have some questions for ya. 1) My mother in laws name is NILA Arthur (maiden). I have only heard of the Nila name a few times before. Is it a name common in the Raliegh Co area? 2) Her grandfathers first wife was Ines/Inez Clay Palmer. Any relation to the Clays you are talking about? If so I have a picture of her and a cousin. 3) I have also have a old picture of the Charles "Frank" Franklin Arthur & Amanda Tredaway Family if anyone is interested. It has them and 9 of the 13 children in it. Janet Lane
