Genealogy of Garriot K. Broyles

Broyles, Bruhls, Broils,Broiles originated from northwestern Germany. There are two towns one of which is Bruhl along the west side of the Rhine River. The largest community has an 18th century castle called Augustburg. The archbishop of Cologne had created the town in 1285. The family Brohl had lived in the area as early as the 14th century as in 1332 one Brohl had received a coat of arms.

Some of the Broyles family came to America in 1717 to Culpepper, Virginia. The first was John Broyles who had several sons who were the ancestors for many of the Broyles today.

The Broyles story here begins with the first one who came to Shelby County, Illinois. There has been much difficulty trying to pinpoint the ancestry of Garriot K. Broyles’ parents. His ancestry will be printed in a later volume.

Garriot K. Broyles was born circa 1810 in Madison Coop Virginia. He had one known brother Ephraim and one sister Martha. In later years Garriot stated on his second marriage application that he was the son of Moses and Susannah Broyles, Garriot married Eunice V. Wayman on 22 December 1831 in Madison Co., Virginia. Eunice was the probable daughter of John Henry and Margaret Frances Wayman. Apparently the Broyles family lived near Harrisonburg, Virginia since one of their sons was born there. Sometime in 1858 the family moved to Shelby Co., Illinois. Garriot bought a mortgage from Zee D. Nichols for $150 for ten acres in Sec 4 T 10 R 3 E in Dry Point Township. Garriot and his wife Eunice were still there in 1868 when his personal property was assessed at $233.

Garriot had worked as a cabinetmaker in Virginia and his skills at woodworking were continued by his sons and grandsons. On March 27, 1878 Eunice, his wife, registered in Shelby Co., Illinois as an experienced midwife in Dry Point Township. She had stated that she had practiced for 19 years. Eunice died on 6 February 1889 and was buried In Harmon Cemetery by one of their sons.

Garriot remained single until 1892. He married secondly at the age of 82 in Shelby Co., Illinois to Martha A. Batton who was formerly married to Joel Batton. It was on that marriage application that Garriot named his parents as Moses and Susannah Broyles, Garriot and Martha did not stay in Shelby Co., Illinois but apparently moved to Jay Co., Indiana where Martha had lived preciously. Garriot died sometime between February and June 1895 in Indiana; his widow mortgaged the said property in Shelby Co., Illinois for income. Martha, his widow, died after January, 1896 in Jay Co., Ind.
