My ggggg grandfather was Mahershallalhashbaz Lyle. Maher for short. Maher, it is believed, was once called Robert Lyle. Supposedly came to VA from County Antrim in Northern Ireland as a child. His father died at sea. He joined the Revolutionary War making supply runs to the soldiers. He was with General Washington in Yorktown for the surrender of General Cornwallis. Need to try and find any name change records in VA and also need to know how he relates to the original Lyle brothers. Would also like to know if he came from Ireland or Scotland. There seems to be some disputes about the name and his origin. Hope to hear back from you soon. You can also reach me at my email of
