General Notes: Husband - Robert Lyle


He served in the Revolutionary War.
In 1784 He (with his wife and child), his brother John (with his wife and two children), and his brother Aaron (with his wife and child) came to Washington County, Pennsylvania. They made the journey in covered wagons, passing through Bedford and Somerset counties, and crossing the Monongahela river at Monongahela City, arrived in Washington County about the middle of June, 1784. Their land was a tract which was situated five miles south of Burgettstown, where the brothers passed the remainder of their lives.

He came to Mt. Pleasant township, Washington County, with his wife and one child in 1784, and bought one hundred and forty acres of land of David Decker, and also the eighty acres of John Brown, and on which he settled. Four years later, Oct. 31, 1789, he purchased a tract of one hundred and forty acres adjoining of David Decker, and sold the first tract to his brother, John Lyle. On this last tract he moved and lived till his death. He was an elder at different periods in Cross Creek, Upper Buffalo, and Mount Prospect Churches.
