Select Families


Charles William EDGERTON married Elizabeth "Lizzie" YOUNG.

Elizabeth "Lizzie" YOUNG [Parents] was born 1854 in Bradshaw, Giles Co., TN. She died Unknown. Elizabeth married Charles William EDGERTON.

The Young Families has the following about Elizabeth:

Elizabeth Young [Y3a12], daughter of William C Young, was born in 1854 at Bradshaw in Giles County, and lived there for many years. She married William W Rea (Rhea?) about 1877. He was born in Alabama in 1851 of Tennessee parents.
Since their marriage record was not found in Giles County, they may have married in Alabama. In 1880 Elizabeth, her husband William, their children, Sara A Finney [Y3a3a] and Elizabeth's mother were living at Bradshaw where William was a farmer. They had two children by 1880-

a. Miron Rea, b 1878
b. Eddie Rea, b. Jan 1880


Edward Fields YOUNG [Parents] was born 14 Aug 1859 in Giles Co., TN. He died 16 Sep 1916 in Giles Co., TN. Edward married Charlie MC LAURINE on 17 Nov 1887 in Giles Co., Tennessee.

The Young Families indicates that an Edward F Young who was the son of William A. Young, was born in August 1859 near Pulaski, Tennessee. In 1870 he was living with his grandparents Spencer Young and Minerva Abernathy.

Obviously, there is a conflict on the information about this Edward. However, the Young Families text does include the same children, some with slightly different dates.

Charlie MC LAURINE was born 27 Aug 1866 in Giles Co., TN. She married Edward Fields YOUNG on 17 Nov 1887 in Giles Co., Tennessee.

From Elaine andersenlainie@juno.com
Regarding the DNA match to the Kennedy Orphans
The DNA is back, and we are a 35/37 match.  According to Family Tree's calculations, there is over an 89% chance that we had a common
ancestor within the last 300 years.  I think we both go back to the John Kennedy who was dead by 1777 in Burke, Co, NC and had the wife Mary,later Mary Armstrong.  It seemed obvious from the beginning, considering your John named his daughter Mary Armstrong Kennedy, and my John Kennedy's history, but it is nice to have official confirmation. Ralph and Jack Kennedy are only off one marker, and their common ancestor was,Hugh Kennedy who married Jane Delaney in 1818, so ours is about what you might expect between 1800 and 1750 or so.

These are just my notes and thoughts at this time. There are many who would disagree with me but I am going on the evidence that I have.

If the Scotish naming order holds true,and Kennedy is from the Scottish origin,  the first born son would be named after John Kennedy's father. The first born son, I believe at this time with the proof of court documents that I have is James.

The second born son would be named for the mother's father and this would be Thomas for Thomas Britton.

The 3rd born son would be named for the father and this would be John, although my dates for John and William are off, this could be due to the inaccuracy of census records.

The 4th born son would be named for the father's oldest brother and this would be William.

The only thing that does not hold true in the naming sequence of the family is the naming of the fifth son, Overton which is supposed to be after the mother's oldest brother. Since her only brother was John and they already had a son named John they may have named him Overton instead. Which could have been after John Overton Eliff, the mother's brother-in-law.

The first born female is named after the mother's mother and this would be Elizabeth for Elizabeth Wilson Britton.

The second born daughter would be named for the father's mother and this would be Mary Armstrong.

Now the question arises, is this the SAME Mary Armstrong mentioned as the mother of William of Sumner Co. in his will of 1809? Are William and John brothers? Many would disagree with me on this, but this is the ONLY logical answer. Mary Armstrong, mother of William may have been William's mothers given name and surname and he may not have mentioned her last name as Kennedy in his will. Why would someone name their daughter Mary Armstrong Kennedy unless the name Mary Armstrong was very significant in the family?

I don't have any answers at the moment of how any of this connects but it gives others a beginning to try to find some answers. At this point I feel like we are looking for a James Kennedy and a Mary Armstrong.

As more proof comes along this may change.

Cyrus BROYLES [Parents] was born 1 about 1734 in Orange, VA. He died 1826 in Washington Co., TN. Cyrus married Mary WILHOIT about 1760 in Culpeper, VA.

Cyrus was named after Ziriakus Fleshman, his grandfather, and his name shows up as Ziriakus in the Hebron Church records in Virginia. His nickname seems to have been 'Caesar'. [1]

Like his brother Michael and sister Catharine, Cyrus lived to a ripe old age. He lived on Limestone Creek in Washington Co., TN, and shared a property line with his brother Nicholas. Cyrus seems to be the original owner of the Broyles mill. There is a mill ('the old Taylor mill') in present day Broylesville on Limestone Creek. It isn't clear whether this is Cyrus's mill, or one that was built later.

It appears that all of his children were by his first wife Mary. They are found in the lawsuit regarding the settlement of his estate. Note that several sources made an error in assigning Cyrus's daughter Mary, wife of John Stout, as a daughter of Adam Broyles, son of Conrad.

19 Mar 1761 - Cyrus buys 200 acres from his father. This land once belonged to his grandfather Fleshman, Madison Co., VA. Part of a patent to Ciriakus and Peter Fleshman. Sold to Jacob Broyles by John Shafer, 16 May 1754. [1] This purchase probably marks his marriage.

1 Sep 1761 - Tobias Wilhoite makes his will, and mentions daughter Mary Broile. {5JKB26},{W & M, 254} Given that Tobias and Mary had a son named Tobias, there can be no doubt that Cyrus's wife was the daughter of Tobias Wilhoit.

6 Sep 1782 - Cyrus Broyles and wife Mary sell 1761 land to William Herndon. Since wife Mary was sick and unable to attend the court, a commission was appointed to examine her privately, which was done 27 Sep 1782, at which time her consent was obtained. [1]

c. 1782 - Cyrus moves to Washington Co., TN. Noting that the above record showed that wife Mary was ill, it is possible that she died before the move to Tennessee, however, no record of his second wife Jean appears until 1797.

5 Aug 1783 - Nicholas Broiles and wife Dorothy sell in 2 deeds to Sirus Broiles, 100 and 320 acres on the north side of the Nolachuckey River, Washington Co., TN. [1]

16 Oct 1786 - Surus Broyles is granted 28 acres on the Little Limestone, "beg. at White tree, etc.", Washington Co., TN, joining Joseph Buller. [1] However, [77] gives this as North Carolina grant #683, and the year is 1784.

1787 - Cyrus Broyls is taxed for 400 acres, 2 polls, no slaves over 12 years old. Washington Co., TN. [54]35:113

6 Aug 1790 - Syrus Broils sells to son Daniel Broils 110 acres on the west side of Little Limestone, part of the grant to Joseph Buller. wit: Abraham Broyls, Solomon Yeager, Samuel Broyles. [1]

6 Aug 1790 - Syrus Broyls, farmer, sells to son Samuel Broyls 240 acres on the west side of Little Limestone. Below Syrus Broil's land to corner of Daniel Broils. wit: Abraham Broyls, Solomon Yeager, Daniel Broyle. [1]

1790...1801 - Cyrus/Syries Broyles is taxed for 100 acres and two black polls in Washington Co., TN. [56]

12 Sep 1797 - Cyrus Broyles sells to son Tobias Broyls, 100 acres on the north side of the Nolachuckey River, on the Little Limestone, with exception that said Cyrus Broyle and wife Jenny Broyls shall have possession of all appurtenances through life excepting so much as is necessary for the support of Tobias Broyles and family. wit: John McAllister, Daniel Broyles. [1]

19 Sep 1797 - Cyrus Broyles sells to Rosanna Broyles, widow of Reuben Broyles, dec'd, one lot of 1/2 acres on Little Limestone, joining Cyrus and to enclose her house. wit: Abraham Broyles, Samuel Broyles. [1]

19 Sep 1797 - Cyrus Broyle sells to Daniel Broyles, Tobias Broyles, and Rosanna Broyles, land on the Little Limestone, beginning on the line between Nicholas and Cyrus, and "including my grist mill." wit: John McAllister, Abraham Broyles. [1]

15 Sep 1806 - Cyrus Broyls sells a negro girl to John Stout. On same date, John Stout sells the negro girl to Samuel Broyl, to be delivered at the death of Syres Broyles. [1]

1 Jul 1809 - Tobias Broyles sells to Adam Broyles 100 acres on the Little Limestone with the reservation that Adam Broyles is not to have possession until after the death of Cyrus Broyles, Senr. and Jean, his wife. [1]

3 Jul 1810 - Daniel Broyles, Tobias Broyle, and Adam Broyle, Junr., sell to Thomas Telford land on the Little Limestone including Broyles mill and a set of sawmill irons. wit: Alexander M. Nelson, William Mitchell, and Ira Green. [1]

19 Oct 1813 - Cyrus Broyles sells to son-in-law Adam Broyles land on the Little Limestone. wit: Daniel Broyels and Samuel Broyles. [1]

1814...1819 - Cyrus is on the tax list of Washington Co., TN. He is taxed for 98 acres.

30 Apr 1818 - Cyrus Broyles sells to Adam Broyles a negro girl, daughter of Esther now in Cyrus's possession, and heretofore sold to John Stout but not to be delivered until the death of Cyrus. wit: Ira Green, Joseph H. Green. [1]

28 Feb 1826 - Cyrus signs a note for $75.00 to Adam Broyles. [1]

- He is said to have died when he was 94. [1] This would place his birth year as 1732.

4 Jul 1826 - Sale of Cyrus' estate. Among the buyers were: James Broyles, Isaac Broyles (grandchildren), Mary Broyles, Joshua Green, George Greenway, Gabriel Walker, Jona Prather, William Wilson, Allen Stout. Cyrus owed a total of $92.58 to Adam Broyles, and was owed $600 (William Vaught, husband of Lean Broyles), $24.50 & $8.00 (Thomas D. Broyles), and $99.70 (Tobias Broyles, then in Indiana.) [1] It is not clear who the Thomas D. Broyles is. Presumably he is a close relative, given that Cyrus seems to have only lent to his children and step-children. He might be either Cyrus's son Daniel, or Daniel's son Thomas.

1828 - Cyrus's estate is settled. [1]

19 May 1829 - Samuel Broyles sues Adam Broyles and wife (Rosannah), Daniel Broyles, William Rush and wife, children of Polly Stout, dec'd, John Lemons and wife (Rachel), Joseph Willet and wife, Tobias Broyles, and William royles (administrator of Adam Broyles, dec'd.) He sued in regard to the settlement of Cyrus's estate. [11]:35

16 May 1832 - The Court finds in favor of Samuel. Cyrus Broyles had divided his land among his children (15 Sep 1806), except Rachel and Rosannah whose husbands received cash. All children received an amount equal to $333.03. Samuel's complaint regarded a slave worth $300 given to Adam Broyles (Rosanna's husband) by Cyrus in 1818. This was not taken into account in the estate settlement. It is noted that sons Tobias and Daniel might not be solvent.
