| Notes |
- Nicholas Pyle, the emigrant, married, in 1688, Abigail, daughter of Joseph Bushell, and settled first in Bethel, but about 1696 removed to Concord and built a brick house, which was torn down by Benjamin W. Passmore a few years ago. In 1713 he married Ann Webb, of Philadelphia, and died in 1715. He appears to have been a man of good business qualifications, and accumulated a considerable property before his death ; was one of the owners and projectors of the " Concord Mills," and was otherwise useful as a pioneer in developing the resources of the country. He represented Chester County in the Provincial Assembly six years, and served in many other civil employments. In religion he was earnestly devoted to the doctrines and principles of Quakerism.
The children of Nicholas and Abigail Pyle were Mary, b. 6, 23, 1689, m. Joseph Sharp ; Edith, b. 1, 20, 1695, m. Nicholas Newlin ; Nicholas, b. 2, 26, 1697, m. Sarah Worrilow ; Samuel, b. 12, 21, 1700, was a physician, and settled in Kennet, where he died, 1749 ; James, b. 10, 2, 1703; Joseph, b. 2, 15, 1706 ; Sarah, m. to Joseph Way.
