• Notes

  The home of Samuel Lyle is the nest in Ireland of the Lyle family treated in this book (see reference). In it is the cradle in which were rocked three of the four Lyle pioneers to Virginia and the father of the fourth one. This cradle was in service for seven generations. The pre-American home of the Lyles is in the townland of Browndodd, one of the four towns of the parish of Larne. It stands on the north side of the road from Larne to Raloo, and near Raloo. A lane runs from the road to the house. John Snoddy. see 29, was living in it in 1911. About a quarter mile east of the Lyle'home is the townland of Ballyvallagh, wherein was the home of the Blairs of mention in this book, and near by is the home in Ireland of the Houstons that came to the Colony of Virginia about 1740 and settled on Timber Ridge, in what is now Rockbridge County. The Houston home was on high ground. On clear days there is a view of the North Channel and the coast of Scotland. Thomas Houston, who was 95 in 1894, gave the place to his son. This son sold it and it passed out of the family. -- Reference the book, "Lyle family : the ancestry and posterity of Matthew, John, Daniel and Samuel Lyle, pioneer settlers in Virginia / by Oscar K. Lyle." originally published in 1912.
