Biography
John Pyle was born in 1723 to a doctor in Pennsylvania and trained as a doctor in London. He moved to N.C. with his wife Sarah and their eight children in 1767, to farm and practice in what became northwest Chatham County.1 One historian says Pyle was a member of the anti-corruption protesters called the “Regulators,” but is not known to have fought at the 1771 battle that ended the movement.
