NOTES

Thomas MARTINDALE is found 1830 NcNairy Co, TN Census - page 136, next to James K MARTINDALE & Alley KYLE - on page 137 is George MARTINDALE --- Alley KYLE is the mother of Robert E KYLE, husband to Thomas' daughter Elizabeth G in Tippah Co, MS 1835.

~ ~ ~ ~

Census records show Elizabeth's birthplace as three different states, PA, IN & TN.

On the 1880 Panola Co, TX census Elizabeth, age 62, stated she & her father were born in Indiana & her mother was born in Kentucky. Not only did her place of birth differ from census to census, but her age did as well, while Robert KYLE's stayed consistent.

Her family had migrated from PA to SC then to TN, however, some of the Martindale Clan shifted back from SC to Indiana & Ohio. Her parents were married in Union Co, SC & that is where most of their children were born. They later migrated to McNairy Co, TN where, Alley KYLE, mother of Robert E KYLE, was listed on the 1830 census. Five years later Elizabeth & Robert marry in Tippah Co, MS. Elizabeth's parents stayed in TN so it is unclear how she came to end up where Robert was in MS.

Elizabeth's younger brother Solon born in 1821 stated he was born in Indiana & her brother Wm born in 1824 stated he was born in Ohio. It is possible that the family was traveling to relatives during the births of Elizabeth, Solon & Wm.

Oliver P MARTINDALE, son of Wm, served in the Confederacy - pension #21923. His wife filed for a widow's pension #50401. Oliver signed an "Affidavit of Witness" on behalf of his 1st cousin, Nancy KYLE BRYAN's brother-in-law, Allen Bonnell BRYAN, for his "Soldier's Pension Application". Nancy was the wife of John Henry BRYAN, and the daughter of Elizabeth MARTINDALE & Robert E KYLE.

Also, filing for a "Widow Pension" was Mrs. M.J. Martindale, widow of John. This was filed in Jasper Co, TX, #07877. I do not know who this John Martindale was, but he was of some relation to my Thomas.

Excerpt from a 1950 Letter from Wm Penn KYLE (1884-1969)
- grandson of Robert E KYLE & Elizabeth G. MARTINDALE -

Teneha, Texas
May 31, 1950

Hon. W. MAYER
Alta Loma, Texas
P.O. Box --

        Dear Mr. Mayer,

        After so long a time I take pleasure in sending you what information on that I have regarding our brand of the KYLE family. I regret it very much, but Mr. E.S. KYLE has been misinformed. I have no records, Bible, or otherwise of our family back 1700. Date-1805 is as far as I have any record.

        Robert Edmondson KYLE - Father's Father - (My Grandfather) was born March 17, 1805. We think somewhere in Tennessee or N.C. (no record) from Tennessee. He must have moved to Mississippi for he married one Elizabeth G. MARTINDALE on Dec 20, 1833 (note: my records show 1835). The MARTINDALE's did move Miss to Texas about the time that my grandfather moved here.

 Now on my grandmother's side, Elizabeth G MARTINDALE KYLE, she appears to have had 4 brothers:

  1. Bill MARTINDALE who settled near here

  2. Henry of Indiana

  3. Solon (NOTE: actually was his brother, Mose) who married an Indian squaw and settled on a league and a half of land in the heart of what is now Fort Worth, Texas

  4. The Martindale's here didn't want me to tell anything about Mose - because he married a squaw- People are curious!

MARTINDALE HISTORY

It is thought that this MARTINDALE line dates back to Northwest England's, Lake District, where there is an extant Martindale Chapel near Lake Ullswater, called "The Old Parish Church of St. Martin's". The church site is over 700 years old. It has a wooden altar table with the date 1647 carved in it and a baptismal font made from a Roman Pillar believed to have been a mile marker on the Roman road of High Street which ran along the fell tops, which dates back from centuries before the church was built. There is also a yew tree believed to be 1300 years old.
