The following was passed to me from the research of Ted Pylant of Arlington Texas;
Michael Lawrence Piland was the third of thirteen children born to George W. and Harriett (Lawrence) Piland. George was born 1835, died 1885
George W. Piland's father was William born 1790, died 1860,
William's father was Edward Piland born 1805, Edward's father was George born 1796, George's father was Thomas born 1690, died 1753, Thomas' father was Richard b.c. 1645, d.c. 1692,
Richard's father was James b.c. 1604, d.c. 1662, James' father was Edward b 1570, died 1616.
From a compilation by Jacqulyn J. Davis Tuttle and Irene J. Serpa Wright (1995), the progenetor of this family is Edward Pyland born about 1570 probably Bristol or Gloucester County England.
Try to find a copy of that book.
