Like several of his brothers, Jacob seems to have made the move
to Tennessee around the year 1780. He is also the only one of
his father's sons to have married a woman of English ancestry.
It is even possible he was the only grandson of Johannes Broyle
to have done this.
His birthdate of 1735/36 is calculated from his placement in his
father's will and the fact that he purchased land in 1756. His
wife and children are listed by name in his will.
21 Oct 1756 - George Moyer Jr. sells to Jacob Broyl Jr., 100
acres adjoining Adam Broyl. This may mark Jacob's marriage.
Sep 1758 - Jacob Broil is paid 9 shillings for service in the
Culpeper Co., militia. The county paid a total of £415 for the
militia. According to [1] this was for service in the French and
Indian War.

Culpeper Co., Va. [57]

Zacharias, son of Peter Breil. [1]
19 Nov 1770 - James Barbour Jr. and wife Frances, Jacob Broyles,
and Martin Rouse and wife Frances sell to John Wilson land on
both sides of White Oak Run. [1] This would appear to be the
sale of inherited land, however, there is no known connection of
these people.
1776 - Jacob Breil and wife Elisabetha are listed on the
communion roll of Hebron Church. [113]20:386
21 Apr 1776 - Jacob Breil witnesses the christening of his nephew
Matheus Breil, son of Matthias. [1]
7 Dec 1777 - Jacob Breil is a sponsor at the baptism of
Elizabeth Wilheit, with Matheus Breil, Maria Breilin, Dorothea
Breilin. [3]6:105
1780 - He enters 400 acres on the Licking River in
Kentucky. [1] Several of this brothers also entered land in
Kentucky, but they don't seem to have followed up on these
claims.
- Jacob moves to Horse Creek, Greene Co., Tennessee.
1787/88 - He is on the Greene Co. tax list for 506 acres. [1]
1792 - He is taxed for 316 acres, 2 slaves, and one poll.
[1]

Nov 1792 - "Ordered that Elizabeth Bumpas an orphan of Job
Bumpas, decd., be bound to Jacob Broyles until she attains to the
age of eighteen years to learn to spin, knit, sow, and read.
Said orphan now of the age of eight years in May past. 8 S
paid." On the same date, Lettia Bumpas, orphan of Job, age 4, is
also bound to Jacob. [12]:135
12 Jan 1793 - James Broyles is granted 200 acres on Horse Creek,
adjoining Jacob Broyles, and John Waddle. [87]:438
12 Jul 1794 - By Grant No. 1262, Jacob Broyles receives 200 acres

TN. [12]:233
1797 - He is taxed for 316 acres, and one poll. [1]
1798 - He is taxed for 316 acres, and two polls. [1]
10 Dec 1798 - Jacob's will is written in Greene Co., TN. His
daughter Delilah Prather gets 1/3 of his plantation, her choice
of 2 horses or mares, 2 cows and calves, 2 steers. Daughter
Keziah Williamson gets bed and bed furniture. Sons Ezekial,
Lewis, James, Jeremiah, John are to split the plantation after
the death of wife Elizabeth. Exec: Thomas Prather, James
Broyles. wit: John Bird, Ephraim Broyles, Matthias Broyles.
[115]
Apr 1799 - The will is probated by Ephraim and Matthias
Broyles. [15]:95 However, [1] has evidence of a death date of 7
Jun 1799. This date is therefore in error, but it can certainly
be said that Jacob died in the spring of 1799.
Oct 1799 - Lettia Bumpas is bound to Elizabeth Broyles until
age 18. She is currently 7 years old. [15]:5 This is
interesting. Jacob has died, so Lettia is bound to his widow
Elizabeth, however the child has aged only 3 years in 7 years'
time!
