1810 - William was taxed (Greene Co.?), indicating he was
at least 21 years old, thus born c. 1789. [1] I believe
Keith to be in error. In the census of 1850 and 1860, William of
Michael gives his birth year as 1793 and 1794, which indicates
good consistency. Meanwhile, Adam of Cyrus had a son William A.
Broyles (5th generation) who was born in Greene Co. in 1790,
according to the census records, and who could easily be the one
taxed in 1810.
1830 - William is listed in the census of Washington Co.,
Tenn. Besides his own family, he appears to have another woman
(a widow?) and her young children living with him. He is living
near his brother Michael. {175:234}
1830 - William S. Broyles is taxed for 150 acres on Horse
Creek, no polls. [14]92. He appears to be living near John of
Michael, and Samuel of Michael.
3 Jul 1837 - Simon W. Broyles sells 25 acres in Washington Co.,
Tenn., formerly belonging to Michael Broyles Senr., dec'd. The
land adjoins "Michael Broyls Junr & Simon William Broyls." (Deed
owned by a Mrs. Shanks, Greene Co., Tenn. The deed was decoupaged
onto the top of a small table. Copied August 1984.)
1840 - He is listed on the census rolls of Washington Co.,
Tenn. Again, he is living near his brother Michael. [5]535:239
1840 - A William S. Broyles is taxed for 20 acres in
Greene Co., Tenn. [1]8:73
- He appears to have moved to Greene Co.
1850 - He and Margaret are listed in the Greene Co., Tenn.
census. His brother Samuel, who is twenty years older than
William, is living with him. They are living next door to
William's brother John. [5]880:199
1860 - William is listed in the Greene Co., Tenn. census.
