I'm looking for anyone familiar with central Wiltshire who might also be familiar with these families.
My wife's ancestor emigrated from Wiltshire to Pennsylvania with the Penn fleet in 1682. We're planning a visit to Wiltshire and would like to do some genealogical sightseeing - if we can find anything to see.
The primary family was PYLE, with connections to the Withers, Sloper, Nash and Smith families. The immigrant, Robert Pyle (1660-1730) was from Bishops Cannings. His parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., were from places such as Bourton, Urchfont and Stanton St. Bernard. Those living during the Commonwealth seem to have joined the Quakers, as did Robert Pyle.
A condensed family tree follows.
Robert Pyle, son of Nicholas Pyle (1624-1691) and Edith Musprat (1635-1676).
Nicholas Pyle, son of John Pyle (1594-1652) and Mary Withers (ca. 1604-1666).
Edith Musprat, daughter of Thomas Musprat (b. ca. 1600) and Edith Byffen (b. ca. 1600)
John Pyle, son of John Pyle (1564-1652) and Elizabeth
Mary Withers, daughter of Thomas Withers (1545-1624) and Joan Nash (d. ca. 1630)
Thomas Withers, son of William Withers (b. 1520)) and Isabel Smith (b. 1532)
Joan Nash, daughter of William Nash and Margery Sloper
Isabel Smith, daughter of William Smith of Bourton and Laura
