General Notes: Wife - Nancy Lyle
She married and they went to house-keeping on one of the farms originally settled by the Rankins in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Being an heir-at-law of her bachelor brother John Lyle, who died in 1863, she came into possession of a part of the old John Lyle homestead farm, and in addition to it, she and her husband purchased the farm on which Aaron Lyle had first settled when he came to Washington County in 1784. This farm later became the property of William Rankin, Jr.
