David Lyle, a brother of Samuel Lyle, and nephew of Matthew, John and Daniel Lyle, who were four pioneer settlers of Timber Ridge, in Rockbridge Co., Va., married in Ireland, as shown by the records of the church at Larne, on December 27th, 1735, Mary Blair. She was a sister of Esther Blair, the wife of the Matthew Lyle referred to. It is related of David Lyle that he left Ireland for South Carolina and that some of his posterity lived in Abbeville District of that State. David Lyle never reached America. He died while on passage. His widow, with two children, arrived in 1746. One child, a daughter, died soon after. The son bore the name of Robert Lyle, the name of his grandfather, and was born near 1740. Mary Lyle went to Virginia and later, to South Carolina. It was there, in the Abbeville District, that Robert Lyle appears to have married and made his home. From names, dates, localities, traditions, etc., it is reasonably certain that this Robert Lyle, ancestor to a large posterity, was the son of David Lyle and Mary Blair.
Robert Lyle married about 1765. The name of his wife, or any daughters, not ascertained. The names of seven sons were:
1. James,
2. John,
3. William,
4. Dilmers,
5. Maher,
6. David and
7. Charles.
From Charles, who married Nancy Kirby in 1810, came 11 sons, as follows: James, David, John, Charles, Berryman, Milton, Kirby, Thomas, William, Dilmers and Richard. This family went from South Carolina to Georgia. The William Lyle of the family went to Carroll County, Ga., in 1827, and married there, in 1846, Mary Wells. His nine sons were: Algernon, Allen, Milton, Dilmers, Edward, Oscar, Augustus, Sanford and Claude. The son Allen married in 1870 Anna Avery. From Allen Lyle came sons, Joseph, Charles and William C. William C. Lyle lived in Augusta, Ga. Was a physician and married, in 1894, Cassandra New…
