General Notes: Husband - John Lyle
He was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary war, and was at the battle of Long Island.
In 1784 He (with his wife and two children), his brother Robert (with his wife and child), 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 served as county commissioner from 1802 to 1805.
In 1784, he came to Washington County and bought 400 acres of land. The name of the place, in the original land grant, is given as Hollywood Farm, and he found that some squatter had started a few improvements, but the larger part of the clearing was done by himself and sons. He was one of the leading members and supporters of the old Presbyterian Church at Cross Creek, deeming it a privilege to listen to the expounding of doctrine and religious exhortation although he had to ride many miles to attend the services.
He and his wife had seven children.
