    Notes 
    • Around 1785, John moved to Union County, South Carolina when he was 16 years old. He married Elizabeth Finley in 1794 in Union Co. SC.

      John P Lyle then moved to Jackson County, Georgia around 1799-1800. He was a farmer and a builder and was in the War of 1812. His militia group was called up during the War of 1812 to fortify "Hog Mountain" in Jackson Co. for the purpose of building a blockade (stockade). The blockade built was called Fort Daniel and today there is a state marker at the site on State Route 124 between Braselton and Lawrenceville. In 1817, John was listed in the Jackson County, GA tax digest and was on the 1820 Census in Jackson Co, GA.

      John was shown on the 1830 census Pg 195 in Campbell Co, GA with 3 sons. He is on the 1840 census in Paulding Co, GA and it is thought that he received land in the 1832 land lottery of the Cherokee lands of original Cherokee Co.

      He appears with his family on the 1850 census of Paulding Co, GA in Dist 839, page 192, dwelling #661, and is noted to have owned $630.00 worth of real estate.
