1. James¹ Lyle (John, #2) was born between 1763 and 1768 probably in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; in the portion that became Montgomery County in 1784.^1,2,3,4,5 He married (--?--) Crawford reportedly circa 1799 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.⁶

He lived in 1786 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; when listed among the male white inhabitants in the upper part of Upper Merion Township between the ages of 18 and 53 years who were capable of bearing arms in the year 1786.⁷ He may have appeared on the census of 1790 in the household of John Lyle in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, as one of the five males 16 and older.^8,9 He was named in the codicil of the will of John Lyle on 6 Feb 1815 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to receive one Dollar as he had already received all that his father intended as his share of the estate.^10,11 See the web site Descendants of James Lyle and Hannah Crawford for information on the family of what must be this same couple.

2. John² Lyle was born circa 1728 in Ireland.^12,13,14 He married Elizabeth Wayne (see #3), daughter of Francis Wayne and Elizabeth Jackson, before 1760 in Pennsylvania.^{12,15,16,17,18} He died on 1 Nov 1815 presumably in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; in his 87th year.^12,19,14 He was buried in St. David's Episcopal Church graveyard, Radnor, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.²⁰ His estate was probated on 27 Nov 1815 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.^11,21

The Woods genealogy claims John Lyle was born in Ireland, but does not comment on when he immigrated to America. A large wave of Scotch-Irish exodus followed the famine of 1740-41 and might have seen his arrival, but many immigrants came to Pennsylvania throughout the period between his birth and marriage.²² He lived in 1769 in Upper Merion Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; where he paid a proprietary tax of £2 13s. 4p. [pounds, shilling, pence] on two horses and four cattle, but no land or servants.²³ He lived in 1774 in Upper Merion Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; paying a Provincial tax of £13 12s 0d on holdings of 150 acres, 3 horses, 6 cattle but no servants.²⁴ The Lyle farm cannot have been far from Valley Forge in the northwest corner of Upper Merion Township. Gen. Washington's troops left Whitemarsh on 11 Dec 1778, crossed the Schuylkill at Swede's Ford on the 13th, passed through King of Prussia and settled in at Valley Forge from the 18th. The army remained there a full six months causing the area to suffer from marauding expeditions of the British army.²⁵

There were three churches: Episcopal, Presbyterian and a Christian Baptist plus a Union Chapel. Twelve public schools were open during ten months of the year and had 418 pupils.³²

John Lyle was mentioned in a subscription list for repairing and covering a wall of the St. David's Episcopal Church in 1785 in Radnor, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.³³ He appeared on the census of 1790 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; probably as the John Lyle with a household of five males 16 or older, two males under 16 and two females.^8,9 He witnessed the will of George George along with John Elliott and Jacob Wolmer on 13 Sep 1790 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.³⁴ He was widowed by the death of Elizabeth Wayne on 18 Jan 1791 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.^12,18 He left a will on 8 Nov 1814 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, witnessed by Jonathan Cleaver, Mathew Roberts and Nathan Potts and naming as executors his son Francis Lyle and son-in-law Robert Wood.^35,11 He wrote a codicil to his will on 6 Feb 1815 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, witnessed by Jonathan Cleaver, John Elliott and Mathew Roberts.^10,11

  They moved from Chester or Montgomery County westward about 1794. They settled in timber country where Robert Woods could make good use of his surveying ability. Their new home was about three miles from the present town of Port Royal, Juniata County, Pennsylvania.⁵⁹ She and Robert Woods were not far from present Academia where they attended the Lower Tuscarora Presbyterian Church.⁶⁰ These locations in Juniata County were at the time all in Milford Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. Her children were to receive 400 pounds based on her father's estate.¹¹

  He may have appeared on the census of 1790 in the household of John Lyle in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, as one of the five males 16 and older.^8,9 He was also sometimes known as John Lyle Jr. [but John W. Lyle (ca.1796-1863) was someone other than John or John Jr., conceivably John Jr.'s son]. He was deeded, with his brothers Francis and Benjamin, his father's land and home. His father's will directed John to pay from this inheritance $40 a year in quarterly payments to his sister Abi McLellan. He was also to provide for the support of his brother Anthony for the term of his natural life. From his father's personal effects he was to receive his clothing tree.¹¹ He left a will on 10 Apr 1825 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; proven May 16, 1835, executors William and Agnes and Thomas Lyle.

• ix. Anthony Lyle was born circa 1783 in Pennsylvania.⁷¹

  As his father's will requires Anthony to be supported by his brother John for his natural life, it is possible that in 1814 he was either ill or incapable of self support.⁷²
