Benjamin Pile, Jr. was born October 25, 1801 in Washington County, KY. He married first to Rhoda Weathers, 1805-1851, in Washington Co., KY on March 2, 1825. Rhoda was the daughter of James & Margaret (Curtsinger) Weathers and married in a double ceremony with her brother Isaac Weathers and Ben's sister Nancy Pile, who were my ancestors. Benjamin, Jr.'s eight known children were all born of his first union. Ben married secondly to Mary B. Wirt, 1811-1875. I have not been able to locate the record for this second marriage. Ben married thirdly to Anna C. (Grant) Jones, 1821-1897, widow of John R. Jones, on May 10, 1877 in Louisville, Jefferson County, KY.
