WYLIE.
1 ROBERT and MARTHA WYLIE were probably the first settlers at West Harbor. They evidently preceded the Reeds by a few years. It is thought that all their children were b. in Townsend, and if so they were here before 1740. Three of the daus. m. three of the sons of Andrew Reed, one m. Joseph Lewis and one Thomas Boyd, which, together with their own descent in name, places them as one of the very largest inter-related families in the three towns. Several of their children had families before our town records began, so that the family of Robert and Martha can only be made up from miscellaneous sources. They had at least twelve chil. His est. was prob. Sept. 26, 1770; Martha, his wid., was admix. It amounted to £307 8s. 9d. A division of the est. did not occur until Oct. 21, 1794, and the heirs then named were: "Robert, son of Neal Wylie; Easter, wife of Abijah Kenney; Jane, wife of Joseph Lewis; Robert Wylie, the heirs of Samuel Wylie, Mary Reed, the children of Joseph Reed; Martha, wife of David Reed; the heirs of William Wylie, Alexander Wylie, John Wylie; Catherine, wife of Thomas Boyd." The place of settlement was undoubtedly where the old stone house stood. He d. Feb. 2, 1770, a. 67; she d. June 15, 1799, a. 92. Chil .:
