Renfrewshire / Re: Lyle - Lyles family from Renfrewshire
« on: Monday 06 October 08 02:27 BST (UK) »
I'm a descendant of William Lyle who came to the USA at Alexandria Virginia with his wife Jeanette and their four sons: William and his brothers John, Thomas, and Robert. In 1816 the family moved to Groton Vermont and worked as stone masons. The younger William married in 1837 one Atlanta Darling who was born in 1810. Her father was Stephen Darling. There are many of the Darling descendent's in Groton Vermont to this day.
The elder William Lyle died in Vermont and after William Jr's marriage the entire family (Jeanette, William, Atlanta and the three Lyle brothers) moved to Wethersfield, Illinois. The brothers settled around Neponset, Osceola and Elmira. William and Atlanta settled southeast of Kewanne, Ill where they had three boys: Stephen (who had Herb, Max, and Charlie); Norris (who had LeRoy, Edith, Vivian and Carrie); and Frank (who had Emma and Lizzie).
I hope this helps. We just returned from a fall foliage trip to Groton Vermont and checked two of the largest cemeteries in town for William Lyle Sr. to no avail. There are plenty of Darlings and we believe we found Stephen Darlings grave, Atalanta's father.
Happy hunting!
