Biography

Moses was a Friend (Quaker)

Moses Pyle was a son of John Pyle and Lydia Thomas,^[1][2]

Moses Pyle and Mary Deulington (Darlington) announced their marriage intentions for the first time at the Concord MM on 1 March 1736 in Delaware, Pennsylvania.^[3]

Moses Pyle married Mary Darlington, his first wife, daughter of Abraham Darlington and Elizabeth Hillborn, at the Birmingham Meeting, Chester Co., Pa, on Feb 29, 1736. {NOTE: Must have been an "intention" of marriage - see actual marriage document dates below.)^[1]

Moses Pyle, child of John Pyle, married Mary Darlington on 29 April 1736 in Delaware, Pennsylvania. [Actual Quaker marriage document]^[4]

Moses Pyle married Mary Darlington on 29 February 1736.^[5]

"Moses and Mary Pyle settled within the limits of Londongrove Meeting, taking a certificate of membership from Concord to New Garden Monthly Meeting, dated 8 mo. 4, 1736".^[1]

"Mary's death probably occurred about 1739, and we find that Moses Pyle, of Newlin township [just West of Philadelphia], was married a second time, at Londongrove Meeting, 10 mo. 9, 1741 (translates to 9 DEC 1741), to Mary Cook, daughter of John and Eleanor Cook, of Londongrove".^[1]

Moses Pyle and Mary Cooke snnounced their marriage intentions for the first time at the New Garden MM on 31 October 1741 in Chester, Pennsylvania.^[6]

Moses Pyle, child of John Pyle, married Mary Cooke on 9 December 1741 in London Grove.^[7]

In 1767 he was living in New Castle County, and was suffering pecuniary embarrassment [financial hardship], but in 1772, sold his mills and plantation to pay his debts. About 1779 he settled in Little Britain township, Lancaster County, where he died in the first month, 1784. ^[1]

Moses had 2 children with Mary Darlington, (names unknown) and the following children with Mary Cook:^[1]

Hannah, Mary, Phoebe, Ruth, Amos [NOTE: In his will, Moses mentions Ruth and Phebe, then Lydia and Hannah and finally, Abraham and Amos as executors. Mary passed on 2 JAN 1784, before Moses died which explains why she wasn't named in the will but might aid in the naming of Moses & Mary (Darlington)'s two missing children who then might be Abraham and Lydia.]

Moses Pyle was noted in Lancaster cty Mennonite Vital Records as being married on 29 February 1736 (to Mary Darlington) and passing in JAN 1784.^[8]

Moses Pyle was in a family history in North America, Family Histories stating his life's events ending with his passing in January 1784 in Little Britain Township, Lancaster County.^[9]
