1568 In the 1860's a similar establishment (a kind of inn at a stagecoach stop) was located out in what we call Yampertown or Twin Road, about five miles east of Guin. A Mr. Franks (Samuel) owned this establishment and it was often frequented by drovers taking their cattle, horses, and sheep to markets down south. An amusing story comes from this stop. It is told that a drove of cattle on the way to market from Tennessee stopped here to spend the night. One of the drovers was a twelve year old boy by the name of Jones who was attracted to one of the pretty daughters of Mr. Franks. Jones went on to the market and returned to Tennessee. A few years later, however, he came back to marry one of the girls - Mrs. Sylvester S. Thompson of Guin being one of their granddaughters. Mr. Jones became a leading citizen of this area as he served as a state representative at one period of time.

1573 In the Bible records for Maher he is called a "Scotchman by birth" but this is assumed to refer to his Scoth ancestry rather than his place of birth for Bible records also say he was born in Ireland. The unusual name, Mahershalalhashbaz, is found in the Old Testament, Book of Isaiah, "Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz," meaning "Spoil Speeds. Prey Hastens", an ominous sign concerning the imminent fall of Damascus (Syria) and Samaria (Israel).

In the Oscar K. Lyle book the name of the son of David Lyle and Mary Blair was given as Robert. However the names and dates of birth for all of his sons were exactly the same as those for Maher Lyle found among numerous Bible records preserved by descendants of Maher and Elizabeth Lyle in Georgia; no names of females were given under Robert Lyle in the book. It was also reported by descendants early in the 20th century that Maher was known to have been a nephew of the three Lyle men who lived at Timber Ridge, Virginia, Matthew, Daniel and John Lyle.

Their home in the section of Bedford County, Virginia, became Campbell County in 1781/82 was very near the Halifax County border area.

In family papers it is said Maher Lyle served as a private during the Revolutionary War; was present when General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington at Yorktown. No record of his actual service has been found and neither he nor Elizabeth lived long enough to apply for a pension offered in 1832 but when Elizabeth, then living in Winn's District, Jackson County, Georgia, was awarded land during the Land Lottery of 1827, the grant reveals that she was the widow of a Revolutionary War Soldier. There is a record in Campbell county, Virginia at a court held September 1782, which records that Maharshalalhazbaz Lyle proved he furnished Christopher Irvine, Commissioner of Provost Law, with 275 Grass Beef. This was when citizens who had rendered service to the Continental Army during the conflict came before the court requesting payment after the war ended. The Irvines were neighbors of the Gibsons.

It is not known how well Maher got along with his wife's family as it appears in this court case Maher had some problems with what appears to be Elizabeth's brothers:

Union County, South Carolina, Minutes of the County Court June 2, 1794
The State vs William Dasefield, Robert Gibson, John Gibson and william Gibson: "Breaking the Peace"
Maher Liles, came into open court and took the necessary oath prescribed by Law and prayed the court for a continuance of the defendant recognizance, whereforce came the said defendants, together with James Lockhead, Thomas Dean, James Maberry, John Beckham, Senr. Their securities and acknowledged themselves indebted to the state in the sum of viz the said defendants in the sum of twenty five pounds and their securities in the sum of ten pounds, to be levied on their certain goods and chattels, for their good behavior towards Maher Liles and his son Delmar Liles for the term of twelve months and one day.

Records show on November 5, 1783 Mahershalalhashbaz Lile and Betty, sold 166 acres on Cheese Creek in Campbell County, Virginia. It was about this time Maher moved to the 96TH District, Union County, South Carolina. On January 2, 1786, Mark Mitchell of Washington County, South Carolina sold to Mahar Lyle, part of a 300 acre grant to Joab Mitchell. There is also a grant February 12, 1793 for Maher Lyle in the 96th district of Union County for 165 acres on a branch of Mill Creek and Jumping Run of Pacolet River.

From traditional accounts and tax records, Dilmus and William, sons of Maher, moved to Jackson county, Georgia before 1800, settling on land on a branch of the Mulberry river, near the Gainesville-Midland Railroad. It was not long after this that Maher and the rest of the family joined them in Georgia.

There is no record of a deed for Maher Lyle in Jackson County, Georgia and he is not taxed for land but does pay for one slave in the Jackson County Tax List for 1809. Family history relates that the slave was named George, that Maher freed him but that he remained with the family continuing to care for Maher. Maher and Elizabeth are believed to have lived with their son William.

Maher and Elizabeth are said to be buried in a family cemetery near the home. One account says they are buried at the forks of the Little Oconee and Mulberry, but there are no markers or headstones to identify their graves as there are with other members. It is said that Dilmus Lyle and his wife, Katherine Reid, moved to Jackson County Georgia soon after their marriage in 1799. While seeking a swift-flowing stream on which to build a mill, Dilmus, instead, found gold. After staking a claim, Dilmus and Katherine set out to inform their families of this find. It is said that Maher and others of his family decided to move to Georgia to share in this discovery of gold, but upon returning, Dilmus could never locate the site of the stream of gold. Mahar and Dilmus with their families settled on the north shore of the Mulberry River on a road that today branches off of State Road 55. The Lyle family cemetery is here, located on part of what was their property. Maher and Elizabeth Lyle are buried in this cemetery. It is believed their graves are located nearer to the house that presently stands on the property for there are no markers or other means to identify the exact spot.

1578 Index to letters of administration for Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, gives 1759 as the date when letters of administration were issued for his estate; the letter itself does not appear to be available Hanna, Andrew (I3950)
 
1579 Information from Letha Wedel and Eileen Green and the Wardlaw Family Book

William is the only child there is a record of coming to America. It is believed that Robert and William probably came to America between 1720 and 1725. Information on son William says they settled in PA about 1725 to 1729. PA Quakers disliked dissenters or Presbyterians and William with others went to Virginia about 1735 to 1740 to Augusta County. Robert and William's children seem to have the same names.

1585 Interview with Dorothy Laubacher, 24 Jun 2000

A poor man known as "Uncle Ferd" lived in Malvern when Aunt Dot was a child. She remembers he had no family and lived in "a hovel" in the town. She believes him to have been her great uncle Ferdinand Stoltz. 
Stoltz, Ferdinand B (I2541)
 
1586 Inventory of husband William Smith's estate on this date notes that she is also deceased Anna (I3451)
 
1587 Investigated the possibility that she was a sister of Franklin (1830-1912) and Lucy Anne (1840-1928) Enos of Somerset Co., Pennsylvania; children of John Enos (-1839) and Sarah Vought. However, estate records for John Enos indicate that he had only the two children (20190505) Ennis, Sarah Anne (I2763)
 
1588 Investigation reveals the William Richardson, Sr. left a will written in 1806, filed 1808 in Wilkes Co., Georgia, in which he names his three sons, William, John, and Thomas. A Thomas Richardson is probated in Maury Co., Tennessee in the 1830s and would be of an age to have been John Wiley Richardson's brother. It is possible but far from proven that William Richardson is the father Richardson, John Wiley (I3267)

1592 Isaac Rainey, born Orange Co., N. C., January, 1763.

He enlisted Jan. 20, 1781, and served three months and ten days under Capt. Wm. Douglass and Col. Moore. Again in 1781 under Camp. John McMillin and Col. Moore from the State of North Carolina. He was engaged in the battle of Guilford Court house and some skirmishes.

At the time of his enlistment he lived in Caswell Co., N. C.

He married Sarah Malone, 6 March 1786, at Caswell Co., North Carolina.

He applied for a pension Nov. 12, 1832, and then was a resident of Bedford Co. Tenn. He moved to Maury County, Tenn. in 1819, thence to Bedford Co., Tenn. about 1824.

He died June 17, 1836 and pension was paid to his widow, Sarah, in 1837, who then resided in Marshall Co. Tenn.

Isaac was buried at Rainey Cemetery, Caney Spring, Marshall, Tennessee.

1593 Isabella was listed as a widow with 4 children in 1860 census. Elliot, Richard Hart (I1162)
 
1594 It is likely she was one of two Sarah Coltons born in Springfield in 1692, however the marriage record to Ebenezer Bliss offers no means of identifying which Colton, Sarah (I1319)
 
1595 It is extremely unusual for half-brothers to have the same given names when the older one was still alive. der Nienporten, Johann Christoph (I4440)
 
1596 It is possible that the year is 1739 due to the new year still, at this time, often being recognized as 25 Mar rather than 01 Jan Stelle, Isaac (I4070)
 
1597 It is very likely she had no children and died prior to husband James T Stone as he mentions neither her nor any children in his will Boyd, Susan (I545)
 
1598 It was tradition at this time to name the children after their same-gendered godparent (e.g. a son would be named for his godfather), with exceptions noted in the record. But in this case the godfather's name is not mentioned in the baptism record, nor is the child's name. The death record does include the name, and this is the only person the record could pertain to. Schirmann, Christoph (I3209)
 
1599 Italy Cemetery Windom, Frances Adeline (I101)
 
1600 Items he brought into New York included "two chests of tools" Henry, Joseph (I3921)
