Well, this is the right line for sure. Joseph is my 2nd great grand uncle. I thought I had a picture of his headstone, but if I do, it isn't filed in TMG. One of our cousins wrote a book on Jacob's family, that I belive is still available. Write me direct, if you want his contact info. Or check on the Oyler board, in the for sale items.

So far we don't have proof of Jacobs parents, though there is one that looks like a good possibility.
When you scan your Dad's photos, I would very much like to see what our cousins looked like. FYI, my line is from Henry L, Joseph's younger brother.
A number of folks want to tie this Oyler line into Valentine Oyler's line. There is not proof that the two lines are connected, at this time.
Also, do you know that Elizabeth's father served in the army three seperate times during the Rev war?
