Notes from John Terrill Wayland Buried in Lot 28, plot 6. Vicki Maddox has the line two more generations back. John is in the 1880 Lewis Co. Missouri Census as John Giles, b. 1841 PA; Catherine b. 1850 Ind; Jessie b. 1873 MO; Albert b. 1875 MO; Samuel b. 1877 MO; Pleasant 9/12 age MO, and Nancy Wayland b. 1860 Iowa. This information from Vicki Maddox, and apparently she entered years of birth rather than ages.
5 Giles' grave sites in Marks Memorial Cemetery, La Grange, Lewis County, Missouri, Block 6, Lot 28 http://home1.gte.net/jbrandt/lagrange/markscem.html
"Biographical and Portrait CYCLOPEDIA of Fayette County Pennsylvania" says that Samuel was born in 1766 and that his father was killed at Baddock's defeat. Since Braddock's defeat was in 1755 Samuel was born 11 years after his father's death. "Biographical and Portrait CYCLOPEDIA of Fayette County Pennsylvania" says that Samuel came to Fayette county in 1814 and married Dorotha Day. Samuel came to Fayette county and married her Dorotha twelve years after the birth of his daughter Elizabeth, my gg grandmother. Elizabeth was born in 1802. (98 year old "Dolly Jiles" appears on the 1860 census living with 58 year old Elizabeth GILES WHITE.)
I would appreciate any information on Samuel Giles
