Description:
The aim of this book is to preserve to posterity facts of interest pertaining to the Lyle family. That the book has errors is more than probable, since much of the information received in correspondence was variable in dates and in the spelling of proper names. For such errors as appear, the explanation lies in my “telling the tale as told to me.” It has taken years to gather what the book contains. But a few years of delay would have made almost impossible of discovery many of the facts that are presented. In successful effort, in obliging posterity, and in the appreciation of the existing family, lie my only reward. OSCAR K. LYLE. This history of the Lyle family treats of the ancestors and posterity of four immigrant pioneers from Ireland who became settlers in the Valley of Virginia between the years 1740 and 1750. Their homes in Ireland were near Larne, on the Irish coast, in the County of Antrim; in Virginia, on Timber Ridge, in what is now Rockbridge County. These four settlers of the colonial period were Matthew, John, Daniel and Samuel Lyle. The first three of mention were brothers and paternal uncles of Samuel, who was a son of a Robert Lyle. Samuel Lyle, who was a farmer in Ireland, married, about 1680, Janet Knox, of Knoxtown. The names of his parents have not been ascertained. Janet Knox was a daughter of John Knox, the second husband of Sally Locke. Her first husband was Ephraim Knox, of no kindred to her second. Sally Locke was a daughter of David Locke, whose wife was Mary Wylie, and granddaughter of William Wylie, whose wife was Janet Black. From Samuel Lyle came six children: Mary, Isabella, Janet, James, Robert and one that died young. James Lyle, son of Samuel Lyle of mention, married, about 1700, Margaret Snoddy, of Ballyrickard-beg, a daughter of William Snoddy, whose wife was Jane Adams, of Ballysnodd. The Snoddys were a family from Scotland to Ireland about 1652. James Lyle had seven children: Elizabeth, Jenny, Matthew, John, Robert, Daniel and William. The surname Lyle, varied in orthography, is a territorial one. In its earliest form the ancestors of those now bearing it were denominated “de Insula/’ which means “of the island.” So far back as the eleventh century this “de Insula” attached to families living in the Isle of Wight and Isle of Ely in England and the Isle of Bute in Scotland. That any connection existed between the several families is questionable. |
