Biography

Note

Note: Burleigh #254.

 !In 1860 when his will was settled, widow Catherine had 7 children, but the records name only John, Henry, Peter.

 !Speculation that the John Guile who died in Chester Co. PA (will dated 15 Dec.1841, proved 29 May 1845) is the same person as the son John (Burleigh 254) of Abel Guile, (Burleigh #94.)

 !Index to Chester Co. Abstracts of Wills and Administrations - Guile, John.East Nantmeal, 1845. Sent for it 3/25/96 Was it this John?? #25681 In 1800 census AIS for Chester Co. PA, there is a John Giles 00010-10110 -which would give him age 26-45, b. 1755-1774 - that fits. History of Lancaster Co. shows a William Guiles b. 1795 Chester Co. #802 -could be his son.

 !1820 census

 !Name: Jno Guile Township: East Nantmeal County: Chester State: Pennsylvania

 !1820 census AIS Owego, Broome co. NY p. 033, name John Guiles.  ?? Only Owego.If correct, his brother Beriah followed him there in 1828.

 !1840 census lists his brother Beriah (Uriah) Guile in Owego, Tioga Co. NY.Also 1850, 1855. No John.

 !1800 census Index - Giles, John - p. 893 - Chester Co. Penn. 00010-10110.Male 26-45 - with two daughters 1 under 10, 1 10-16. If 10-16 a daughter, then married by 1789. His age 26-45, b. 1755-1774 e.g. 1770 looks possible.

 !1771 Tax Transcript for Chester Co. - no Gile/Giles listings.

 !1790 census - only a listing in Bucks Co. for a William Giles with 1 male over16 and 1 female.

 !Is John a brother to William Guiles b. 1795 Chester Co. - Rin #802?

July 18, 1859, the executor of the will, George Lloyd, petitions theOrphan's Court for discharge from his office of Executor, since "Real estate ofsaid testator at the time of his decease consisted of three lots or pieces ofland, two of them wood or sprout(?) land, and the other improved land on whichthe testator and his family resided at the time of his decease. And hispersonal estate consisted of some very common and plain household furniture and ordinary farming implements and one cow.

As the widow was entitled under the will to the personal estate after the debts, funeral and other expenses were paid and the same having been paid by the widow, the petitioner did not deem it necessary to file an inventory of the personal estate and none was filed."

 !From: (name and email withdrawn)

I am still looking for proof of a connection between my Guiles family in PA (John Guiles d. 1845 E Nantmeal PA) and Abel Guiles of Rennselear Co NY and hence to the Guiles of Haverhill MA. Many years ago I asked my uncle b. 1925 where his Pennsylvania Guiles relations had come from. He said New York. Of course that is a suggestion and not proof.

Replied with commentary from above conclusions, plus comments on Rev War service of older brothers, but none for Abel.

If anyone could look up Dasher in theBrethren Encyclopedia I would be enormously grateful. I would love to find outwho Henry's father is and where he came from.

 !Subject: Re: PML Search Result matching gile From: xxxx I believe Rebecca Dasher m John Gile sometime after 1791 in PA. Any help?

 !From: xxxx

I am afraid I don't have any information on Rebecca marrying a Gile. I mention it in my Dasher book, as a possibility, but I did not say where it came from and I can't remember what happened last week let alone 15 years ago. We might have seen something in a deed transfer, an Orphans Court transaction or in a will that led us to think that was a strong possibility.We do have a Hannah Giles who married a James Dasher (my great-grandfather)on 12/26/1867 in Frankstown, PA. She was born in 1840 and died in 1921. She had a brother Edward Giles.
