The Kyle-Work connection has been in existence since revolutionary times. My great grandmother (Joanna Kyle, dau of Joseph Addison Kyle and Sarah Mooney) married her third cousin David Chalmers Kyle (son of Samuel Kyle, Jr. who married Jane Allan Chalmers), so her last name never changed when she married.Samuel Kyle Jr., was the sixth and last child of the union between (Judge)Samuel Kyle and his first wife, Ruth Mitchell, daughter of David and Margaret Mitchell. She died about a month after Samuel Jr's birth, and her six children were raised by his second wife, Rachel Jackson - along with fifteen others of their own. Most were born, and many buried at Massie's Creek Cemetery in Green County, Ohio, where they removed to after leaving Kentucky. Originally from Franklin, and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania, they went to Kentucky after the Rev War, but when Kentucky entered the union as a slave state, they left and went to Onio, because it was going in as a free state, and they were staunch abolitionists due to their Scotch Covenenter faith. I'm sure these intermarriages with people of the same nameshas kept many genealogists awake nights! Add to that the Scottish practice of naming the first son after the paternal grandfather, second after the maternal grandfather etc., and you have the same names in the different lines of all of the descendants. A family history researchers nightmare!Both of my great grandparents were descendants of Joseph Kyle the revolutionary patriot and his wife Catherine Chambers. Joanna from Joseph Jr., and David from his brother Samuel. Joseph Sr. and his six brothers were sons of Samuel Kyle of Clifton Hall in Mercersburg, PA who married Jean Bell (died 1777 - who wouldn't with seven sons in the war at the same time?) Samuel Kyle of Clifton Hall (born 1715/Ireland) was the son of John Kyle (died 1759 buried Quarryville)and Ann Kyle )also buried at Quarryville) Samuel removed from Lancaster County to Franklin County evidently shortly after their deaths. John Kyle of Lancaster County was the son of James Kyle the immigrant who is supposed to be buried at Oxford. No one is quite sure how John and his wife Ann were related, but available history says John and Ann were also cousins of some sort, we just can't figure out the connection. Andrew Work lived and was connected to the Kyles in many documents, and I believe was married to one of the Kyle women. The good Rev Cuthbertson of fame mentions their names in his famous 40 year diary, and you will find them involved in many civic activities of their time. Hope this helps a little bit.
