WILLIAM BROYLES (140) [son of Moses Broyles (28)] (b. 1765-84;d. 1823-26) He married Elizabeth Wilhoit (118) (b. Sept 5, 1783;d. > 1850) in Madison Co., VA on Jan 26, 1800. In the same county on July 29, 1802, William Broyles signed as surety the marriage bond of James P. Ford and Elizabeth Broyles.
On Oct 16, 1805, William Broyle and wife Elizabeth of Madison Co., Va., sold to Manson Seamons 45½ acres, joining George Sims and James Broyles and the widow's third. Deed was witnessed by Daniel Field, William Taylor, and Thomas Hill. The widow referred to was undoubtedly Barbara Carpenter, wife of Moses Broyles (28), who had recently died, and the deed is one of the steps in the distribution of the estate. William Broyles appears on the Jefferson Co., Ky., tax lists 1807/1809/1810. On Jan 1, 1819, he is described in the Jefferson Co., Ky. records as one of the heirs of John Wilhoit. In the same county on July 15, 1811, he bought 95½ acres on Harrod's Creek of Jenkin Phillips. William Briles was taxed for 90 acres on Harrod's Creek, Jefferson Co., KY 1821, and for 91 acres, 1823. Elizabeth Briles was taxed for 90 acres on Harrod's Creek. 1826. Evidently William Broyles died between 1823 and 1826. His wife, Elizabeth, was still
living in 1842.

514. iii. Washington Broyles
MOSES (William?) BROYLES (28) [son of Adam Broyles (5)] He was named as the eldest son in his father's will. He died in Madison Co., VA prior to April 26, 1804, at which time John A. Yager and Francis Ford give bond for returning the inventory of Moses Broyles, dec'd. He did not accompany his father to Tennessee, or, if he did so, he did not long remain though he was named as one of the executors of his father's will. On May 22, 1789, Moses Broyles of Culpeper
Co., VA. "lately appointed executor of Adam Broyles, late of Washington County, together with Joseph Brown and William Moore, appoint my trusty friend John
Shields of Green County (Greene county had been a part of North Carolina for several years) to serve for me as executor of sd Adam Broyles. John Shields to call upon Mr. William Moore if necessary." This paper is found in the Washington Co., TN records. Moses Broyles was confirmed in the Hebron Lutheran Church on Easter Sunday (April 7) 1776. Other confirmants same day were Daniel Broyle and Elizabeth Broyl. Moses appears on a communion roll in 1777 but
not again until 1799 (with wife Barbara). In 1780 he entered 800 acres in Kentucky on Green River. He seems to have been the only one of several Broyleses who entered who attempted to follow up on the claim later. On February 6, 1794, Moses Broyles of Madison Co., VA appointed Stephen Fisher of Mercer Co., KY as his attorney concerning 800 acres entered by Joseph Early in Moses Broyles's name on Green River. He probably was never able to maintain his claim.
On October 16, 1786, Moses Broyles and wife Barbary sold 59 acres to James Sims. On same date, Capt. Moses Broyles and wife Barbary sell land to Michael Snyder, Culpeper Co., Va. Moses Broyles married Barbara Carpenter (107) who was born February 25, 1757 in Madison Co., VA. She was taxed for 117 acres in 1810 and for 117 and 118 acres in 1812, the latter tract having been brought of W. Carpenter. In 1814, this land is described as being six miles northeast of Madison County Courthouse and on Crooked Run. She appears in the 1830 census of Madison Co., VA. In this county on December 17, 1836, (her last appearance in the records) she sold land to James Broyles (her son). In the distribution of the estate of Moses Broyles on September 26, 1805, mention is made of shares paid to the widow, to James Broyles, to Patsy and Elizabeth Ford, children of James Ford, dec'd (he had married Moses's daughter, Elizabeth) and to Nancy Broyles. Moses Broyles was taxed for 299 acres in Madison Co., Va. from 1793 until his death. By the 1805 distribution, his widow received 117 acres and the balance of 182 acres was divided into 4 shares of 45½ acres each. While William Broyles must have been one of the distributees, his name is omitted
although we know he was still alive at that date. This distribution indicates that Anna Broyles, daughter of Moses, died before 1805. {SLB} BC Holtzclaw The Carpenter Family cites Moses Broyles as "Capt."

140. i. William Broyles
ADAM BROYLES (5) [son of Jacob Broyles (2) and Mary Catherine Fleishman] He was probably born c. 1728 in present day Madison Co., VA and died in Washington Co., TN April/May, 1782. He married a Mary whom I no longer regard as the probable daughter of Tobias Wilhoit whose will (Sept. 1, 1761) mentions daughter Mary Broil. I shall show later that this Mary Broile was the wife of Cyrus Broyles. Adam Broyles's name appears frequently in the land records of Culpeper Co. as he was apparently a large landowner. On Aug. 6, 1754, Adam Broyl bought 150 acres of George Moyer (which may mark the approximate time of his marriage) which with wife Mary he sold to Nicholas Broyl on June 17, 1756. On Aug. 19, 1762, Adam Broil and wife Mary sold to John Wayland 64 acres on White Oak Run. He signs name and she makes mark. On Nov 18, 1771, Mary Catherine Broile (the widow of Jacob Broyles (2), Adam Broile (probably in his capacity as executor of his father's will), Matthias Broile and Eva Broile (his wife), sold to John Glassell 156 acres on the Robinson River. Adam and Matthias sign names but Mary Catherine and Eva make marks (it is strange that Eva would make her mark as she was the daughter of the Rev. George Samuel Klug - would he not teach his daughter to write?). Although the number of acres is given as 166, this evidently was the tract of 156 acres which Jacob Broil had willed to his son Matthias. On Jan.21, 1772, Adam Broils bought 1340 acres of James Barbour, Jr., for 504 £ sterling and 4 schillings. On the same day, Adam Broile and his wife Mary sold 283 acres lying on Robinson Fork to John Yager; on the same day, they sold to Michael Broil 116 acres; on Mar.15, 1772, they sold 139 acres to Connard (Conrad?) Willhoite; on Feb.15, 1773, they sold 235 acres to Matthias Broile; on May 18, 1773, they sold 290 acres to Robert Fleshman. By these transfers, Adam Broyles retained only 81 acres of the 1340 acres which he bought of James Barbour. On June 5, 1780, Adam Broyle and wife Mary sold 200 acres to Thomas Porter for 1000 £s. This date probably marks his departure to East Tennessee. Though in 1776 he was one of the trustees of Hebron Church, his name rarely appears in the Birth Register. He was sponsor at the baptism of Solomon Breil, son of Peter Breil, who was born July 7, 1772. It is curious that of Adam's seven children, the birth of but one is recorded in the register. In 1780 Adam Broyles entered 1500 acres in Jefferson Co., Ky., on Rockcastle River, and another tract of 1500 acres on the Licking River. The first tract was surveyed for Adam Broyle May 21, 1781, on the waters of the Rockcastle about three fourths of a mile above trace to Boonesborough. Though he seems to have intended to go to Kentucky, he probably never did but instead, about this time, he went to East Tenn. to what is now Washington Co. The first and only record of Adam Broyles found in Tenn. records is his will and proceedings relative to settlement of his estate. This will (See Appendix) shows that he had resided in Washington Co. long enough to have acquired land. Dated Apr. 19, 1782 and witnessed by John Waddell, Conrad Willhight, and Matthias Broyles, the will was probated in May, 1782 with Joseph Brown, Moses Broyles, and William Moore named as executors. No wife is mentioned thus it can be inferred that she died between June 5, 1780 (when she joined in deed in Va.) and Apr. 19, 1782, the date of the will. To the oldest son, Moses, was left 200 acres from the land the testator had purchased from Joseph Ballard on the south side of the Little Limestone Creek. To sons Aaron and Joshua, he left the land on which he was living at his death, an exact amount not being stated but evidently the same as that mentioned in the deed of January 3, 1784 [Washington Co., Tenn.] whereby Samuel Sherrill sold to Aaron and Joshua Broils, sons and heirs of Adam Broiles, dec'd, 312 acres on the north side of the Nollichuckie River at the corner of John Waddle which land had been paid for by Adam Broils, dec'd in the amount of 400 pounds). To daughter Milla Parther, he left 200 acres which he had bought of George Doherty. No record of these purchases by Adam Broyles appears in the Washington Co. records.
Testator mentions land in Kentucky of which nothing more is heard of in later years. He also mentions daughters Mima Broyles, Mary Broyles, and Anne Brown. He directs that the family live on the plantation while unmarried and that the residue of the estate be equally divided in 1790 at the discretion of the executors. Adam's inventory was returned in 1782 by William Moore, executor. Among the various items were 32 head of cattle, 4 horse creators, 48 hogs, 14 negroes, and one silver watch. Bonds due to him and paper money amount to more than 1982 £s. If the personal property described above and the value of his land is added to this, it would appear that he had been unusually prosperous, in fact, the most prosperous of Jacob's Broyles's nine sons. His remains undoubtedly lie on the banks of the Nolachucky River in present Washington Co., Tenn. It is not known whether his wife died in Va. just before his departure for Tenn.; her family name is not known and probably never will be. The marriage of his daughters Milla and Anne to men named Parther (Prather) and Brown probably occurred in Tenn. in the years 1780-82 since these families did not seem to have lived in Madison Co., Va.
