Notes of Patricia McKinna—A GENEALOGY OF THE PUTMANS. Catherine (Dull), b. <br> 1774, apparently oldest of this family, d. Oct 23, 1860, md. John H. Pile <br> (Pfeil, originally), b. near Hagerstown, Md., to Casper and Catherine Pfeil, on Aug. <br> 17, 1775, d. 1845. He was the oldest son and lived in Milford Twp. on <br> property adjoining the farm of his father-in-law. On Mar. 28, 1815, he sold <br> property to Christian Ankeny. also on June 3, 1837, with his brother George Pile, he <br> sold to John and Josiah Weimer, a tract on Laurel Hill Creek which came to <br> them by Sheriff's sale, Sept. 5, 1832. He made his will on Jan. 25, 1845, by <br> which the widow, Catherine, was to have the 12-acre tract on which he lived, <br> adjoining the property of George Dull, John Bruner, and Widow (Elizabeth) Sipe. <br> This was later sold to Samuel Saylor. Another tract of 10 acres adjoinging <br> John Barkman, John Sweitzer, and Jonathan Sechler. The estate was to be divided <br> equally among his children; George and Absalom Pile, sons, were executors. The <br> will and the report of the executors mentions 10 heirs besides the widow. <br> Names given were: John, Joseph, Henry, Jonathan, Jacob, Elias, Daniel, Absalom, <br> and George. The name Samuel was included but for some reason it was crossed <br> out. The will also mentions "the heirs of Peter and David, deceased." Family <br> accounts include among the children the names of Delilah and Elizabeth, and does <br> not include the names of Henry, Jacob, Peter or David. So the exact number <br> and names of the family is uncertain.<br> <br> Keith A. Dull. Early Families of Somerset and Fayette Counties, Pennsylvania. <br> pp. 15-16.
