1830 Broyles, Aaron       VA, Monroe      ----1-1        ----1---1--1 
 
Aaron married at the very late age of 55!  This improbable 
occurrence is supported by  the evidence:  He is not listed on 
his own in the census until 1830, and appears to be living with 
his brothers in earlier years.

His wife Liddy's name is given as Spalding and Spadling by other 
sources.


       1775 - Zacharias Broyles was a sponsor at the baptism of 
Aaron. [3]3:95

    c. 1809 - Aaron's father moved the family to Monroe Co., Va.  
[3]1:123

1810...1836 - Aaron is listed on the tax rolls of Monroe Co., Va.  
He was excluded from taxes in the years 1821-26 and 1831-36.  
[51]  This last exclusion was probably given because he had 
reached the age of 55, after which taxpayers were exempted on 
account of age.  The earlier exclusion may have been caused by an 
inability to pay.  

11 Oct 1823 - Aaron is named in his father's will.  Monroe Co., 
Va.  [52]

       1830 - He is listed on the census rolls in Monroe Co., VA. 
At least it is probably him, despite an error in his birthdate as 
1780-1790.  Note that this is an unusual listing in that he has 
two old women (one aged 90 to 100 years who could be his mother) 
and one young man (who might be Allen Broyles) living with him 
and his new wife.  

16 Jan 1837 - The will of Aaron Broyles is proven in court by 
Joel Stodghill and Thomas Biggs.  No executor was named in the 
will, and Aaron's wife does not want to be executrix, so the 
court names Robert Coalter.  William Stodghill and James M. 
Coalter are appointed to appraise the estate.  The will mentions 
wife Liddy, son John, daugther Lucy, and Absalom Broyles (Aaron's 
brother).  Monroe Co., Va.  [52]

   Jan 1838 - The inventory of Aaron's estate is returned.  [52]

            - Aaron's widow Liddy does not appear to have 
remarried under the name Broyles.  [6]

       1850 - The children are living with the family of Thomas 
Crawford, in Monroe Co., Va.  [5]961:415
