The Lyle Family of Virginia and Kentucky
Members of the Lyle family were prominent in the early Scotch-Irish Presbyterian communities of western and central Virginia. The family first appears in the surviving account at Timber Ridge in present-day Rockbridge County, where Daniel, John, and Samuel Lyle supported the congregation served by Rev. John Brown. Later generations and branches were associated with the South Branch of the Potomac in Hampshire County, the Buffalo and Briery congregations in Prince Edward County, Bedford County, and Kentucky.
