Jacob made the voyage to America at the age of 12 with his 
father, mother, brother and sister.  It appears that all of his 
children lived to adulthood.  His descendants comprise the 
Broyles family, while his brother Conrad was progenitor of the 
Briles line.

The names of Jacob's sons and daughters are given in birth order 
in his will and we can assign approximate birth years based on 
Michael's birth in June 1740, likely marriage dates for the 
other chldren, and birth years of Jacob's grandchildren.  The
three daughters are worked into the list in similar fashion.


 2 May 1727 - Jacob Bryoll proved his right to take up land and  
was granted 50 acres.  He apparently sold this right to Jacob 
Manspoil (see the entry below dated 3 Oct 1734).  [1]  On the 
same day his father did the same, and patented 200 acres.  Jacob 
would thus appear to be on his own, and probably recently 
married.

28 Sep 1728 - Jacob Broil patented 400 acres in Spotsylvania Co., 
VA, St. George's parish, in the great fork of the Rappahanock 
River on Jacob Crigler's line.  [2]:90

       1734 - Jacob Broill is taxed for 1 tithe, in the precinct 
of John Mikell.

 3 Oct 1734 - Jacob Manspoil receives a patent of 400 acres, 
based on the importation of 3 persons, including Jacob Bryell.  
(see 2 May 1727) [1].  

28 Jul 1737 - Jacob and Mary Catherine Broyle buy 156 acres of 
land "by the river side" from Ziriakus Fleischman.  On same date 
Ziriakus sold 200 acres to Henry Sluchter and wife Sarah.  In 
1743 he sold his remaining lands to Peter Fleshman.  [1]  We know 
from the church records of Neuenbürg in Germany that Ziriakus had 
two surviving children, Peter and Maria Catharina by his wife 
Anna Barbara.  As well, he had a stepson Heinrich (Henry) 
Sluchter by one of Anna's previous husbands.  [4]27:6  These 
transactions show that Jacob's wife Mary Catherine was the 
daughter of Ziriakus Fleischmann.  If additional proof is 
desired, one need only look at their son Cyrus, and anglicized 
version of Ziriakus.

Nonetheless, [1] also speaks of a tradition saying Jacob married 
a Wayland.

    c. 1738 - He is taxed as 1 tithable in the precinct of John 
Mickell.  [112]27:26

       1739 - 1 tithable in the precinct of (      ), Orange Co., 
VA.  [73]2:136

            - Jacob Broyl is mentioned in the suit "Jacob Stover 
vs. George Home".  He and John Landrum received a total of 
£16.15.0

28 Aug 1741 - Jacob Broyles sues John Sutton, claiming that in 
December 1739 he had sold cattle & hogs to a Thomas Botts who was 
to pay for them the following March, April, or market-time, but 
who had sold them to Sutton and run off. [1]

22 Feb 1742 - Jacob Broyl witnesses deed of John Thomas to 
Michael Thomas.  [1]

23 Jan 1743 - Jacob Broyle witnesses sale of land by Ziriakus 
Fleshman to Peter Fleshman.

29 Jan 1743 - Isaac Smith sues Ludwig Fisher.  Jacob Broyle is 
security for the defendent.  [1]

10 Aug 1743 - He witnesses the will of John Nicholas 
Blankenbeeker.  Signed his name "x". Orange Co., VA.  [114]1
The will was probated 22 Sep? 1743, and 'dear friend Jacob Broil 
and eldest son Zacharias are named executors.  [2]:85

11 Aug 1743 - He witnesses a codicil to the above will.

26 Jul 1744 - Jacob and Conrad Broil convey to Adam Wilhite 200 
acres of land patented 24 Jun 1726 by John Broil.  This was their 
inheritance, and would indicate that their mother had died.

25 Mar 1746 - Jacob Brayell reports, as executor, the value of 
Henry Fireback's property.  Orange Co., VA. [114]2

25 Mar 1752 - Jacob Breil is a sponsor at the baptism of 
Zacharias, son of Zacharias Blankenbaker, born this date.  
Catherina Breilin was a sponsor of other of Zacharias' children. 
[1]

16 May 1754 - Jacob buys 200 acres from John Shafer.  Culpeper 
Co., VA.  [1] 

19 Mar 1761 - Jacob sells to his son Cyrus 200 acres for "love 
and affection".  This land is part of a patent to Ciriakus and 
Peter Fleshman.  It had been sold to Jacob by John Shafer on 16 
May 1754.  [1]

 3 Nov 1761 - Jacob's will is written.  Culpeper Co., VA.  [90]
Wife Catherine is to have the "plantation" during her life and it
is then to go to Matthias.  Young sons Peter, Michael, John, and 
Zacharias are to have 100 acres each from the 1728 patent. 
Finally, he lists all of the sons in apparent birth order followed
by the daughters Catherine Wayland, Elizabeth Wilhite, and Mary
Broil.  Sons Adam and Michael are named executors.

17 Jan 1763 - "we the subscribers have met at the plantation of 
Jacob Broiles, dec'd. and have valued and appraised his estate."  
Adam Wayland, Adam Wilhit, Adam Yager.  [57]  The estate 
valuation is listed in [3]1:31.  The date would appear to be in 
error because estate valuations took place after the will was 
proven and the executor or administrator was given power to 
settle the estate.  Generally speaking, the probate (proving a 
will valid) occurred quickly after death, while it often took 
months or years to settle an estate.  A possible explanation, 
given that the entry was for the first court in a new year, is 
that the clerk forgot the year had changed to 1764.

21 Apr 1763 - Jacob Brayell was named executor of the will of 
Matthias Blankenbaker.  The court appointed John Blankenbecker as 
executor, which means that Jacob was either incapacitated or dead 
at this time.  [2]:87

19 May 1763 - Jacob's will is probated.  wit: Samuel Klug, Peter 
Fleshman, Robert Fleshman.  [90]

18 Nov 1771 - Mary Catherine Broyle, Adam Broile, Matthias and 
Eve Broile sell 166 acres to John Glassell.  This appears to 
refer to the 156 acre tract from Jacob's will.  [2]:90

       1776 - On the 17th Sunday after Trinity, Catharina Breilin 
is listed on the communion roll of Hebron Church.  [113]20:386
