The last name is shown as Lisle on the Corrected State Muster Roll and as Lyle on the final State Muster Roll.

On Confedrate records the name is also listed as J.N. Lile, Lile N. Newton and J. N. Lyles (see below). Present on the 1861 and 1862 Muster Rolls only. No further records, except mixed with J. N. Lyles. The author has separated them, since it appears to be two men.
