1. DANIEL LYLE was born near Larne, in County Antrim, Ireland. His parents were a James Lyle who married a Margaret Snoddy and lived near Raloo in the townland of Browndodd. His paternal grandparents were a Samuel Lyle, who married a Janet Knox, and his maternal grandparents, a William Snoddy, who married a Jane Adams. It was about 1745 when Daniel Lyle came to the Colony of Virginia and made his home on Timber Ridge, in Rockbridge County, in the vicinity of his brothers, Matthew and John, who had preceded him to America. He was a farmer and stone-mason and the builder of Timber Ridge church in 1756. Was one of the Elders of that church. His will reads as follows:

"In the name of God, Amen, the 22 day of August in the year 1781, I, Daniel Lyle, of Rockbridge county, and Commonwealth of Virginia, being sick and weak in body but of perfect sense and memory, thanks be given to God therefor, calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing 'tis appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament, that is to say, principally and first, I recommend my soul to God, that gave it, and my body to the earth to be buried in a Christian and decent manner at the discretion of my executors, and, touching my worldly estate, I devise and dispose of it in manner following:
Imprimis, it is my will that all my just debts be paid. Item, I will and bequeathe to my son JAMES the tract of land I now live on, with all appurtenances thereto belonging, to him, and his heirs and assigns forever. It is my will that my son JAMES pay to my sons DAVID, ROBERT AND JOHN, to each of them, the sum of ten pounds in specia, or other property to that value, as it would have sold for in the year 1774, which payments are to be made in three years from my decease, whether specia or other property to be at the option of the payer. Item, I give and bequeathe to my son SAMUEL, ten pounds of the present currency. I give and bequeathe to my daughter ESTHER, my bay horse, my two best cows, two sheep, two beds, bedsteads and furniture, one-half of my pewter, and my large chest. Item, the remainder of my personal estate I give and bequeathe to my son JAMES, and I do hereby constitute and appoint my son JAMES to be my sole executor of this my last will and testament, and I do hereby revoke and disannul all former wills and testaments by me heretofore made and do ratify and confirm this to be my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and DANIEL LYLE (Seal).
seal, the day and year first above written.

Daniel Lyle was younger than his brothers Matthew and John. He acquired lands in Virginia on Timber Ridge and married a Miss Paxton. Just who she was remains in doubt, but she was probably a daughter of "South River Tom" Paxton.

-----
She may be the daughter of Thomas 'of South River' Paxton. However, she was not named in Thomas Paxton's will. None of her children, many of whom were born before Thomas' death, are not mentioned either. She apparently died before her husband, Daniel Lyle, as she is not mentioned in his will. (BJC)
