He was born in 1710 near Lake Konstance(Constance), Germany which is in the southern part of the duchy of Wurttemberg. His parents name are not known for certain. However, there is a reference to a Solomon Layrle(Lyerly) who was born in 1681 in the same Lake Konstance area. This may have been his father.
