However, there is reference to a Solomon Lyerly (Laryrle) born in 1681 in the same Lake Konstance area that may have been his father.

He was a member of Organ Church. Johann and Christopher Rintleman ( Rendleman) were sent England to solicit aid for church work in the colony. Rev. Theodore S.

On July 19, 1772 they made their way to Charleston, SC bound for Europe. King George and Queen Charlotte added a gift to their purse. In the fall of 1773 Layrle and Rendelman returned to North Carolina with Rev.
