Notes

Generation 3, Keith #6

The identity of Adam's wife is a mystery. Prof. Keith had posited in [2] that she was Mary Wilhoit, daughter of Tobias. (Tobias Wilhoit made reference to his daughter Mary Broyles in his will.) It is now generally agreed that Mary Wilhoit married Cyrus Broyles, and that they named their son Tobias after Mary's father. Keith corrected his error in [1].

Judging from the land records in Virginia, and his estate inventory in Washington Co., TN, Adam would appear to have been the most financially secure of Jacob's sons.

Along with several of his brothers, Adam made the move from Virginia to Tennessee around the year 1780. Like them he also patented land in Kentucky, though he never took up the claim. His dreams were cut short by his untimely death at the age of 54 or so.

Eldest son Moses chose to stay in Virginia, but the rest of the children made the journey to Tennessee. After Adam's death, most of the children and their families moved to Pendleton District, SC (later Anderson Co.). Son Aaron achieved prominence there.

Note that there were several men by the name of Adam Broyles in East Tennessee at the same time. This Adam generally spelled his name without an 's' and the end.

10 Mar 1753 - Adam Broyle, assignee of George Moyer, patents 375a on Island Run, now called White Oak Run, adjacent to: Moyer's patent of 24 Jun 1726, Adam Yeager, Michael Kaifer, Christoper Moyer. (This looks like the area Harnsbarge and Motz patented.)

6 Aug 1754 - George Moyer sells to Adam Broyl 150 acres. This may mark his marriage. [1] Though, see next.

6 Aug 1754 - George Moyer, with "indenture of feofment" transfers 375a to Adam Broyle. Adam apparently sued Moyer and won the case.

1754 - The estate of William Nash, dec'd "to Adam Broile Ł6.10.6 ..." [57]A This deserves some investigation. Perhaps Adam's wife was William Nash's daughter, though this may be nothing more than a note.

17 Jun 1756 - Adam Broyl and wife Mary sell 150 acres to Nicholas Broyl. This was the land bought in 1754. [1]

21 Oct 1756 - George Moyer, Jr. sells to Jacob Broyles, Jr., land joining Adam Broyl.

19 Aug 1762 - John Wayland buys 64 acres from Adam and Mary Broil on White Oak Run. He signs his name, she makes her mark. [1]

30 Mar 1763 - Adam Broil and Nicholas Broil are appointed executors of Adam Wilhoit's will. [57]A

19 May 1763 - Adam is mentioned as an heir in his father's will.

21 Jul 1763 - Adam Broyle presents the will of Adam Wilhoit as executor, with Nicholas Broil. He was named executor 30 May 1763. [57]A

1763 - "Adam Broyle v. Christopher Moyer. Cont'd", "Adam Broyle v. Christopher Moyer. Dismissed agreed, "Adam Broyle v. John Clore. Dismissed" [59]:405, "John Clore v. Adam Broyle. Dismissed" [59]:405.

18 Nov 1771 - Mary Catherine Broils (Adam's mother), Adam Broile, Matthias and Eva Broile sell to John Glassell 166 acres on the Robinson River. [1] This was probably the 156 acres that Jacob Broyles had willed his son Matthias. The reason so many people were required to sell it was that Mary Catherine was still alive, Matthias and Eva had to renounce their rights to it, and Adam was involved since he was administrator.

21 Jan 1772 - Adam Broile bought 1340 acres from James Barbour, Jr. for 504 pounds sterling and 4 shillings. Barbour got it from Thomas Smith who got it from Lord Fairfax. [1],[58]:51

21 Jan 1772 - Adam Broile and wife Mary sell 283 acres on Robinson Fork to John Yager. [1]

21 Jan 1772 - They sell 116 acres to Michael Broile. [1]

22 Jan 1772 - Adam Broyle witnessed the sale of 200 acres to Adam Yager, from John and Catherine (Broyles) Wayland. {WM242}

15 Mar 1772 - They sell 139 acres to Connard Wilhoit. [1]

1772 - Sponsor at baptism of Solomon Breil, son of Peter.

15 Feb 1773 - They sell 235 acres to Matthias Broile. [1]

18 May 1773 - They sell 290 acres to Robert Fleshman. [1]

20 Mar 1775 - Adam Broyle & Mary Catherine Broyle, John Broyle & wife Margaret, Mathis Broyle sell 70 acres to John Glassell of Culpeper Co.

1776 - Adam is listed as a trustee of Hebron Church. [1]

- Adam moves to Washington Co., Tenn.

5 Jun 1780 - Adam Broyl and wife Mary sell 200 acres, for Ł1000, to Thomas Porter. This probably marks their move to Tenn. [1]

1780 - Adam patents 1500 acres in Jefferson Co., Ky. on the Rockcastle River, and 1500 acres on the Licking River. [48]:178 pparently they never took up the claim.

21 May 1781 - The first of the two above patents was surveyed for Adam. [1]

19 Apr 1782 - Soon after their arrival in Tennessee, Adam makes his will. wit: Conrad Willhight, Mathias Broyles, John Waddle. Exec: Joseph Brown, Moses Broyles, and William Moore. See [3]1:33 for the will.

May 1782 - The will is probated, Washington Co., Tenn. There is no mention of his wife, which indicates that she has already died. He does mention Kentucky lands.

1782 - Adam's inventory is returned by William Moore, executor of the will. His estate included 23 head of cattle, 4 horses, 48 hogs, 14 negroes, and one silver watch. Bonds due him, and paper money amounted to more than 1982 pounds!

22 May 1789 - Moses Broyles (Adam's son) transfers execution of his father's will to "trusty friend John Shields." [3]5:104 Though Moses was named an executor, he was living in Virginia, and would have thus been unable to complete his duties. (This date certainly looks suspicious; probably an error for 1782)

23 Jul 1796 - In a notice regarding a land claim, in "The Kentucky Gazette", William Tremble mentions Adam Broyl. [61]

Apr 1800 - At a Chancery Court held in Fleming Co., KY, the heirs of Adam Bryles, deceased, bring suit agains William Wilson and Michael Cassidy. The suit mentions the 1500 acres of land that was entered by Adam Broyles in 1780. The named heirs are Joshua Broyles, William Goucher and wife Mary, Aaron Broyles, Adam Panther and wife Milley, Hugh Brown and wife Jemima. [60]
