Their graves in Eldridge, Walker County Alabama have not been found. The Van Wert Baptist Church records in Paulding/Polk County Georgia show John P. and son Jefferson Lyle were in Paulding County, Georgia until 1857. Land Patents were issued to John P. Lyle 1860 - 1886 in Marion and Walker Counties, Alabama. 1860,1870, and 1880 Twp. 13 (Eldridge) Walker County Alabama census give his occupation as carpenter and mechanic.

Lyle was the son of John Pleasant Lyle (born 1769 Virginia; died 1851 Paulding County, Georgia), whose parents were Maher Shallal Hashbaz Lyle, born 1737 in Antrim County Ireland, died 1814 in Jackson County, Georgia and Elizabeth Gibson born 1740 in Virginia, died 1831 in Jackson County, Georgia.

Sarah was born on December 13, 1842 in Pickens County, Alabama to Benjamin and Jane (Blasengame) West, and died on March 8, 1926 in Chattanooga. Jefferson Young Lyle enlisted as a blacksmith in the Pickens County Partisan Rangers in 1862, later Company C of the 24th Alabama Regiment. They fought at Corinth, Farmington, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge (where he fell in love with the Chattanooga area)and was paroled at Augusta, Georgia on May 1, 1865. He had blacksmith shops in Lowndes, Monroe County, and Clay Counties Mississippi. In 1890, leaving his daughters in the care of their mother in West Point, Mississippi, he operated a carriage and blacksmith shop in Birmingham, Alabama "Lyle and Sons". He moved his family to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1893, where he and two sons Henry Claude Lyle and Albert Sidney Lyle worked in a carriage and blacksmith shop on Cherry Street.
