Google Search: Jewish surnames This is another area. I spent quite a bit of time running out leads. Frances

All Latvia Database (5,821 surnames). 62,000 records from many different sources, including vital records, voter lists, tax lists, recruitment records. An on- going project--continuously updated.Online database I searched through these site's and other site too. I will find them and send them to you. I thought these were German Jew's that didn't come to this country. I wonder why they had our names if they were not relatives. My grandmother Laura Wilhite Drake's family came from Germanna. She died when I was a young child . She cooked all the German food's and never mentioned any jewish heritage. She went to a Baptist church . There were no Luthern churches in our area. Frances

No, the Germanna families were not Jewish. They were recorded in the parish records (baptisms, marriages, deaths) of Protestant German churches in the late 1600's and early 1700's. They also formed a Protestant church on this side of the pond. But that was 10 or more generations ago. Intermarriage since that time means that any modern Germanna descendant is likely to find quite a variety in his or her ethnic ancestry. Where did you find your information?

Yes, William Hays Broyles married Susan Gilreath in 1878. They lived for a time in Whitley Co. but eventually moved west. You can read about their family at the following site: http://users.rcn.com/deeds/broyles/html/d0006/g0000033.htm#I511 In the 1880 census I did not notice any particular relationship of the Stephens children to William or Susan. It's reasonable to assume they are orphans and related, but unfortunately that does not make it so. I checked William's brothers and sisters for a Stephens marriage but came up empty. I'm afraid I don't have any information on Susan's side. By the way, the 1880 census mistakenly lists their birthplace as PA. I've seen cases where they used ditto marks rather than writing in the name of the state, and they got carried away with the ditto marks. Someone earlier in lists was born in PA and they dittoed their way down the page, missing the transition back to another state. Ideas: 1. James Stephens might be found in the 1870 census of Whitley or Campbell Cos. 2. Another thought is to check William's 1880 neighbors for other Stephens children. You might be able to narrow the age of the kids' parents by this method. If James is the eldest you'd expect to be able to find a Stephens marriage c. 1869. Be sure to check the Whitley and Campbell Co. marriages for Stephens marriages. 4. An oddball thought is that Susan's father died and her mom remarried to a Stephens, in which case the kids are her half-siblings. troublzup@aol.co m To: BROYLES-L@rootsweb.com Sent by: cc: gc-gateway@roots Subject: [BROYLES] W.H.

I guess I do not know what Adam owned the Inn. Was the Inn owned by Adam son of Conrad or Adam son of Hans Jacob? Thanks, Susan

George I have some photos of the INN taken 2 years ago inside and out. I will bring them to the reunion in Sept. I thought some may want to see how it looked.

The three Presidents from Tennessee who stayed at the Broylesville Inn were Jackson, Johnson, and Polk. Some sources have said that the fact that these three Presidents actually stayed at the Inn is only conjecture; however, one has only to conduct a study of the road systems of that time period to see that it is almost certain that those notables did, indeed, spend the night there. The Broylesville Inn was on "The Old Stage Road", which ran from Abingdon, VA, to Knoxville, TN. In that time period, there were no "stop-overs" between those two towns except "Broylesville". So, if those Presidents had business anywhere between Washington, D.C. (Federal City), and the south (south of Nashville and west of the Carolinas), they would have almost certainly come down "The Old Stage Road". Given the speed of the stagecoaches at the time, a stopover would certainly have been necessary between Abingdon and Knoxville. Just for information, for the Germanna descendants of this area, the same "Old Stage Road" passed through what is now the Horse Creek area of Greene, County, and went right by the homes and farms of many of our BROYLES/WILHOIT relatives (and by the homes and farms of the families into which they married) in Greene County. In fact, the present road through that area STILL follows the Old Stage Road! It runs right in front of my uncle's (Glenn D. BROYLES') house on the original Jacob (Black Jake) BROYLES farm! Can't you see that old stage, pulled by 6 or 8 horses, bustling down that road, trying to get from Broylesville to Knoxville in one day? And, possibly carrying a President?
