Adam belonged to the North Carolina branch of the family, but
chose to join his cousins in East Tennessee. His descendants
therefore carry the name Broyles. What is unusual as well is
that we know his profession, variously given as blacksmith or
saddler.
Note that there were several men named Adam Broyles in East
Tennessee at the same time. One help in separating them is that
this Adam regularly spelled his name as ending in 's'.
The assignment of the children is entirely from [1], where no
indication of sources is given. One error in [1] has been
corrected -- Mary Broyles, given as Adam's daughter, was in fact
a daughter of Cyrus Broyles.
1779 - Adam Brile is on the tax list of Randolph Co., NC.
[4]3:12
30 Sep 1783 - Adam was named in his father's will. He inherits
100 acres plus a part of the estate. He must pay 21 pounds to
the executors for the 100 acres. Randolph Co., NC. [3]1:32
14 Oct 1785 - Adam Bryles patents 1500 acres in Fayette Co., KY.
on the north watercourse. [48]
18 Aug 1787 - Adam Broils receives a grant from NC. [1]
3 Oct 1787 - Adam Broiles and wife Elizabeth sell 110 acres to
Benjamin Rush in Randolph Co., NC. [1]
4 Nov 1788 - Adam Broiles and wife sell 100 acres more to
Benjamin Rush in Randolph Co., NC. Could this be his
inheritance? [1]
- Adam moves to Washington Co., TN.
5 Dec 1788 - Adam Broyls, blacksmith, buys 200 acres from Joseph
Brown at the head of Gibson's Branch. Washington Co., TN. [1]
5 Dec 1788 - Adam Broyls, sadler, buys 100 acres from William
Brown adjoining the above. [1]
1790...1796 - Adam Broiles, blacksmith, is taxed for 300 acres in
Washington Co., TN. [56]
17 Aug 1797 - An "Adam Broil" patents 1500 acres, surveyed this
date, on the Rockcastle River, Madison Co., KY. [48] Note name
spelling is different, i.e. it doesn't end in "s", and he seems
to have regularly spelled it with an "s", so this may be another
Adam.
- It appears that at about this time Adam left
Washington County. Since several of his children marry in Blount
Co., TN, in the years 1796-1800, it would seem likely that he was
with them at that time. He could still have held his lands in
Washington Co., until he sold them in 1799. He may have then
gone on to Kentucky to take up his claim.
1797...1799 - An Adam Broyles is taxed for 270 acres in
Washington Co., TN. He does not appear on the list for 1801.
[56] It isn't clear if this is the same person, but it is likely
to be him. The following records show why.
27 Apr 1799 - Adam Broyles, blacksmith, sells 200 acres (Joseph
Brown's) to Daniel Moore. [3]5:110
27 Apr 1799 - Adam sells Wm. Brown's 100 acres to Daniel Moore.
[1] With this sale he seems to have sold all his 300 acres.
1810 - An Adam Briles is listed in the Washington Co., KY,
census. He is single, and born before 1765. It seems rather
strange that he is off by himself.
