    My guess would be James Kyle or it could be Myles. Although the M in Moore is different. Maybe Hyles but the H in other names are different.

    Jos (Joseph) Hyle or Jos Hyde.

    There is a similar H in the full census view but the "le" looks like Es, but I also see fading in the middle.

    I'll try
    Jas. Hyle (or maybe Hyles)
    To me the "H" is very similar to that in the names "Hayfield" and the second "Hartsock" among others.

    Jas Kyle, is what you are expecting, I am sure !!
    Perhaps the census enumerator used the same shape for K and H [ grin !! ]

    By doing a comparison of the a's and o's in other names I came to the conclusion that the first name could only be Jas. Jas. was the abbreviation for James. The last name could be several different names and would likely lead me to searching both earlier and later census records for confirmation.

    Jas (the s is a superscriptP Hyler; Jas this way is usually an abbreviation for James

    so James Hyler
