Julia,
This is what I found at the CP Church Archives web site, copied, and am pasting here for you:
Pylant Family Information
John Pylant
[son of Robert Pylant and Caroline Bell]
born: 1772 - Edgecombe County, North Carolina
died: 18 June 1854 - Coosa County, Alabama
buried: Old Poplar Springs Baptist Church Cemetery - Hanover, Coosa County, Alabama
1st marriage: c1795 - North Carolina
1st wife: Zilphy Jones
[daughter of ? Jones and ? ?]
born: c1774
died: before 1818 - North Carolina
From this it looks like John is NOT listed as the husband of Caroline Bell but instead is listed as the son of Robert Pylant/Pyland and Caroline Bell.
Here is also an excerpt from Margaret "Peggy" Pylant's widow's pension application for her husband Pinkney Pylant's service in the War of 1812 and their marriage bond from Cumberland Co., NC:
