Jacob (Hans) BROYLES [Parents] was born 1 26 Mar 1705 in Ötisheim, Germany. He died 2 about May 1763 in Culpeper, VA. Jacob married Maria Catharina FLEISCHMANN about 1727 in Spottsylvania, VA.
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.
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, the English form 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

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.

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]

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

Johannes BROYLES [Parents] was born 1 1 May 1679 in Dusslingen, Germany. He died 2 1733 in Spottsylvania, VA. Johannes married 3 Ursula RUOP on 6 Nov 1703 in Ötisheim, Germany.
Johannes and Ursula are the progenitors of the Broyles, Broiles, and Briles families in America.
Though born in the village of Dusslingen in Württemberg, Johannes moved, perhaps around the year 1700, to Ötisheim, a small village approximately 40 miles north as the crow flies. There he met and married Ursula Ruop, daughter of a local gravedigger. And there he and Ursula began raising their family.
Johannes' father Conrad was a farmer, and Johannes was the eldest son, thus entitling him to a good inheritance, but he forsook this to make his living as a weaver in Ötisheim. Perhaps it was this sense of trying the unknown that prompted him and Ursula to join a group of families making the voyage to the New World.
There can be no doubt that Johannes and Ursula Breyhel of Ötisheim are identical to John and Urseley Broyle of Germanna. The names and ages of their children match perfectly with what is known, and they disappeared from the Ötisheim records at just the right time.
1717 - Johannes and family emigrate to America with about 20 other German families, and come to live at Germanna, in Virginia.
24 Jun 1726 - John Prial is granted 400 acres in the "first fork of the Rapidan River." [1]
2 May 1727 - John Bryoll proves his importation. He is granted the right to take up 200 acres. He states that he came to this country about nine years since with Captain Scott, and that he brought with him his wife Urseley, and children Conrad and Elizabeth. On the same day, Jacob Bryoll (John's son) proves his right to take up land, and is granted 50 acres.
7 Mar 1732 - John Broyle makes his will, Spotsylvania Co., Va., Book A, page 209: "I, John Broyles, being willing to setel my affairs, knowing that in this trancitory life we are in ye mids of death. I does after by wife's deceas leve my land, Goods, and catel to be "be" equally divided amongst all my children mail and female as witness hand. This being my last will Testament his John / Broyles mark wit: Michael Holt, Balthasar (Paultus) Blankenbaker, and Nicholas Blankenbaker.
5 Feb 1733 - At a court held for Spotsylvania County: "Urseley Broyle, widow of John Broyle decd Exhibied the above will which was proved by oath of Paultus Blankepaker one of the witnesses thereto and desired the same might be recorded which was granted."
26 Jul 1744 - Jacob and Conrad Broil convey to Adam Wilhite 200 acres of land patented 24 Jun 1726 by John Broil, and bequeathed to them. This was their inheritance, and would indicate that their mother had died. Since it appears that John Broil owned 400 acres at his death, this would also indicate that he had four children who survived him, because the estate was to be divided equally among his heirs.
Ursula RUOP [Parents] married 1 Johannes BROYLES on 6 Nov 1703 in Ötisheim, Germany.
They had the following children:
M i Jacob (Hans) BROYLES was born 26 Mar 1705 and died about May 1763. M ii Conrad BROYLES was born 26 Mar 1705 in Ötisheim, Germany. He died as an infant in Culpeper, VA.

M v Jerg Martin BROYLES was born 1 Aug 1711 in Ötisheim, Germany. He died as an infant. F vi Maria Elisabetha BROYLES was born 5 Jul 1716 in Ötisheim, Germany. She died Unknown. F vii Christley BROYLES was born about 1718 in Spottsylvania, VA. She died Unknown. F viii Catherine BROYLES was born about 1720 in Spottsylvania, VA. She died Unknown.
Conrad BREYEL [Parents] 1 was born 12 Dec 1652 in Dusslingen, Germany. He died 8 Oct 1703 in Dusslingen, Germany. Conrad married Margaretha SCHELLING on 16 Aug 1678 in Dusslingen, Germany.
His death record is most unusual:
8 Oct 1703 - Conrad Breyel, Bürger u. BaürsMan allhier so über einen Holzapfelbaúm herabgefallen u. der Rükgrath abgebroch noch 5. tag gelebet, seines alters 51. Jahr weniger 8. Wochen.
"Conrad Breyel, citizen and farmer of this place, who fell down from atop a crabapple tree and broke his back, yet lived 5 days, his age 51 years less 8 weeks."
This interpretation is not clear cut, with some translators preferring "who fell down over a crabapple tree". This version does not make sense in that it is hard to break one's back by tripping over a tree.
