Known Lytle Families

Updated March 18, 1997

Lytles of Randolph County, NC, and Grant County, IN
Thomas and Henry Lytle of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, could be connected to one or more of the other Lytles. We're still hoping something turns up. They migrated to Randolph County, North Carolina, and left families there. Henry's descendants make up most of the Randolph County Johns(t)ons.

Lytles from this group migrated to Grant County, Indiana, then to Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. They now have descendants spread all over the country. This is possibly the largest group of Lytles, and certainly has the most documented descendants, making up about three quarters of the current database. A quarterly newsbulletin is now in its 11th year.

Lytles of Western NC
Another Thomas Lytle, who migrated from Rowan County to western North Carolina.

Ephraim and Nathaniel - Lancaster and Northumberland Counties, Pennsylvania

Thomas Lytle and Polly Wilson - Pennsylvania
This Thomas is a descendant of the oldest Ephraim.

Archibald Lytle - Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Another family based in old Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Robert Lytle was a judge in Orange County, North Carolina, and his son William founded Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
