Isaac BROYLES

Son of Adam BROYLES and Elizabeth SPECK?

BIRTH: 24 Jun 1779, NC, Randolph
DEATH: 15 Feb 1842, TN, Lincoln

MARRIAGE: Abt 1802, [22]
To Mary Ann WHITTENBURG

Notes

Isaac was a pioneer of Lincoln Co., TN, and appears to have lived most of his life there. He settled at Mulberry, TN, and is buried there in Broyles Cemetery with his wife Mary Ann.

His son Ira's biographical sketch describes his father Isaac as a farmer and "volunteer soldier (who) fought with General Jackson in the Seminole war." His mother is given as "Mary (Whittenberg)". The sketch also includes the following - "While his father and mother were residents of Tennessee, living a pioneer life in a little old log cabin, one day a huge rattlesnake came into the house, drove his mother out and held possession until killed by a large dog, ever afterward a great favorite with the family." [111]

There is no record of Isaac's marriage to Mary Ann Whittenberg, though it is likely that it took place in Greene Co., TN, around the year 1801 or 1802. There were many Whittenberg marriages in that county. It may have also taken place in Blount Co., TN, where his father seems to have moved the family c. 1800.

Isaac and his brother Jacob were twins. It's interesting that they lived in different locations, yet died within three months of each other at the age of 62.

The record on Isaac is quite clear as far as the Lincoln Co., TN, records are concerned. The uncertainty involves his placement in the family. His tombstone gives his birthdate as July 25 or 28, 1779, which is very close to the Jun 24, 1779 date given in [1]. However, that account refers to Isaac, son of Adam, as marrying Kisgar Blackmore?, and having children Nicholas, Alexander, and Phebe. Widow Keziah, 55, and children are found in Cherokee Co., AL, in 1850.

There are two main possibilites, both of which suggest that there were two Isaacs:

1. Isaac of Lincoln Co. is the son of Adam The evidence in support of this is the closeness of the birthdate, the fact that he died at the same age as his twin brother, that his first child was named for his twin brother, that there are no other known Isaacs of his age. Also, Keziah was 16 years his junior; he would have been in his fifties when having children. This means that Keziah Broyles of Alabama married someone else, possibly an unknown Isaac, and probably of the fifth generation. The names of her children suggest a connection to the line of Nicholas Broyles. 2. Isaac of Lincoln Co. is the son of someone else, possibly Jacob. The evidence in support of this is the account in [1] which is based on tradition, Keziah being found in Alabama near his brothers, his appearance in Lincoln Co. with (brother?) Jeremiah, that his first child was named for his father?.

However, if his father was Jacob, then his father didn't mention him in his will.

In this account we are assuming that the Isaac Broyles of Lincoln Co., TN, is identical with the Isaac Broyles, son of Adam.

Isaac's children are given in deeds detailing the division of his estate.

c. 1788 - He would have been just a lad when his father moved the family from Randolph Co., NC, to Washington Co., TN.

c. 1800 - His father and siblings move to Blount Co., TN.

1806 - He is in Blount Co., TN. [1]

- Isaac moves to Lincoln Co., TN. Note that his twin brother Jacob went to Madison Co., AL, around the year 1806.

District #7's boundaries are as follows: "Beginning at where the Fayetteville road crosses west Mulberry Creek at Isaac Broiles's the same being the south east corner of No. 6 running southwardly with the west boundary of No. 5 to the mouth of Mulberry creek..." [108]:110

9 Jun 1838 - Isaac Broils is present at the quarterly meeting of the Ball Fork Baptist Church at Mulberry. [109]6

Broyles. Isaac had over 500 acres in five tracts, plus slaves and personal property. [110]O-1:626

7 May 1849 - The final settlement of Isaac's estate takes place. It is very complicated. The estate includes seven slaves, 246 acres of land, notes, and so on. [110]R-1:319
