John's record is a touch confusing. His wife's name is Patience Parr
according to the burial record of one of his daughters but the marriage
record, as indexed, says the groom is John C. Broyles. It's quite possible
this is an indexing error for John A. The marriage takes place in Etowah
Co. where we do find John Cyrus Broyles Sr. in 1880. John C. Jr. and this
John are in Madison Co. in 1880.
For some reaon, in the 1900 census John's wife is Rena H. and they say
they have been married 25 years. It seems improbable that Rena H. is
a corruption of Patience, but her tombstone gives her name as Patience
A., and she's P.A. in the 1880 census.
John's tombstone is listed twice at FindAGrave.com's entry for Shedd
Cemetery in Cullman Co., Ala. One entry gives his dates as
10 Jun 1885 to 3 Mar 1905, and the other gives 10 Jun 1855 to
3 Mar 1955. We know he was born in June of 1855. But did he die
in 1905 at the age of 49, or in 1955 at the age of 99? His wife's
dates are also doubtful. She can be found as an infant in the census
of 1860.
