There is no indication in [1] as to sources for assigning the
above children to Benjamin. However, many of the assignments can
be made on the basis of deduction. His was the largest Broyles
household in Madison Co. in the early 1800's.
Benjamin's wife was named Susan, as proved by the death record of
daughter Jemima.
11 Jan 1790 - Benjamin Bruill (Broill?) is on the tax list of
Fayette Co., Ky. [71] It isn't certain that this is him, but we
note that his brother Zacharias and cousin John moved to Kentucky
c. 1798.
1802 - He is taxed for two polls. This means that he had
a 16 year old son! This implies that Benjamin must have married
at 17 or 18. This is unusually early for a man to marry.
26 May 1802
27 Jan 1803 - Benjamin is executor of his father's will, but for
some reason was not named in it. [3]1:35
11 Nov 1835 - Benjamin Broyles in a deed of trust. [3]2:21
18 May 1839 - Benjamin Broyles, Sr. as executor of his father's
estate, sells 94 acres to Thomas Tanner (husband of Benjamin's
sister Judith). [3]2:21 This was Dilly Broyles' (his mother)
acreage. She had passed away in 1836.
1840 - Benjamin is listed on the census rolls of Madison
Co., Va. He appears to have a son or daughter and their family
living with him. In fact, the listing may actually be for
Benjamin, Jr., and Benjamin, Sr. is living with them.
1793...1836 - Benjamin is taxed in Madison Co., Va. [70] He is
"levy free" after 1823, on account of his reaching the age of 55.
