I have lots of Broyles information in my files as they were closely related in Tenn. My friend Mary Lou Hudson that has researched the Davis family for many years has provided lots of the information I have. If I remember correctly Broyles signed lots of the documents in my files. The Davises and the Broyles lived in Campbell County TN. My grandmother was Nora May ??? (Garren). She was born in Galla Creek AR in 1884 and moved to the Lamar-Spadra (Johnson County) area where she had her family. Then retired to Paris (Logan County). The census shows her first in 1880 in Perry County then the census shows her in 1900 in Pope County. That area is now Yell County. I believe the counties changed names from Perry to Pope and then Yell. Aaron V Davis born in 1832. He was from Campbell County Tenn.
