I'm a descendant of Henry Biles. Our family tradition holds that the Biles were Scots.
Bryan Biles (How Green Was Our Valley) records that the name Biles is pictish, and that it shows up in Scottish, Irish and English histories. The earliest reference anyone has found for the name Biles is in 685 AD.
