Recently my Baker line did DNA studies that have greatly helped our research. Because of it I met a wonderful cousin who a DNA match but we cannot find out how. To make a very long story short, come to find out we are double cousins, Baker on my mother's side and Broyles on my father's side. Small world. Anyway, does any one know anything about the following Baker - Broyles connection. I think George Baker was a brother of my Robert Baker b 1754 and died 1834. Matthias Broyles was either my direct line or an Uncle of my Matthias Broyles. To make matters worse I have a double Broyles line. If you have any information on any of these people, I would appreciate your help.

Since most subscribers to Mailing Lists pay no attention to the "Welcome Messages" they receive after subscribing, and just delete them without reading, I'm offering this to let you know how to get another copy of it. Everyone needs to keep a copy in the same place they keep their List messages. It really comes in handy when someone needs to unsubscribe but has forgotten how to do it. Yes, as the List Manager, I CAN manually unsubscribe users, and do so more often than you would believe. If the users can unsubscribe themselves it sure saves me a lot of time and trouble. Here's how to get another copy of the "Welcome Message": 1) Send an email to: LISTNAME-L-request@rootsweb.com (if subscribed to Normal Mode) or LISTNAME-D-request@rootsweb.com (if subscribed to Digest Mode) Replace LISTNAME with the actual name of the List, e.g.: GERMANNA_COLONIES BRILES BROYLES WILHITE WILHOIT 2) In the subject line type just one word: archive 3) In the body type the following, exactly: get welcome.txt 4) Make sure you put nothing else in the body and turn off all signatures. List administrators also often customize information contained in the list digest "administrivia." The administrivia is the text that you find in every digest immediately following the index that explains how to unsubscribe from the digests, how to contact the list administrator, and often other helpful information such as a link to a corresponding message board. Mail mode subscribers can benefit by paying attention to the rotating taglines many list administrators place at the bottom of every list message. The taglines may contain such information as instructions for subscribing and unsubscribing, how to contact the administrator, links to the archives for the list, links to helpful webpages where list rules or other pertinent information can be found, information about how the message board gateway works if the list and board are gatewayed and possibly a link to the corresponding message board. List taglines are set by the individual volunteer administrator and are as varied as the interests and knowledge of the individual admin- istrators. Taglines are often changed from time to time . . . so it pays to look and not assume you have read them before. Not all administrators use list taglines, but those who do put the reminders there for a reason -- to keep list members informed of important information they need to know. Savvy list members pay attention to taglines. Don't be an "I didn't know that" or "I can't find it" list subscriber. Pay attention to the list guidelines provided for you in your welcome letters, digest administrivia, and list message rotating taglines. And don't let the snake bite you -- look at what's in plain sight. (The above was posted in the Rootsweb-Review Newsletter on 19 November 2003.) Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman List Manager

Often teething was reported as a cause of death in infants. Perhaps they became susceptible to infections, especially if lancing was performed without antisepsis.

I have Susan Thomas as his wife, but I have no documentation to support it, so please take it with a "grain of salt".

Hello- I ran across this entry searching for someone else. Does anyone know if and how this Briles maybe connected to the Broyles?? He sure was a hero. "WORLD WAR II MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS: BRILES, HERSCHEL F. Rank and organization: Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army, Co. C, 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion. Place and date: Near Scherpenseel, Germany, 20 November 1944. Entered service at: Fort Des Moines, lowa. Birth: Colfax, lowa. G.O. No.: 77, 10 September 1945. Citation: He was leading a platoon of destroyers across an exposed slope near Scherpenseel, Germany, on 20 November 1944, when they came under heavy enemy artillery fire. A direct hit was scored on 1 of the vehicles, killing 1 man, seriously wounding 2 others, and setting the destroyer afire. With a comrade, S/Sgt. Briles left the cover of his own armor and raced across ground raked by artillery and small-arms fire to the rescue of the men in the shattered destroyer. Without hesitation, he lowered himself into the burning turret, removed the wounded and then extinguished the fire. From a position he assumed the next morning, he observed hostile infantrymen advancing. With his machinegun, he poured such deadly fire into the enemy ranks that an entire pocket of 55 Germans surrendered, clearing the way for a junction between American units which had been held up for 2 days. Later that day, when another of his destroyers was hit by a concealed enemy tank, he again left protection to give assistance. With the help of another soldier, he evacuated two wounded under heavy fire and, returning to the burning vehicle, braved death from exploding ammunition to put out the flames. By his heroic initiative and complete disregard for personal safety, S/Sgt. Briles was largely responsible for causing heavy enemy casualties, forcing the surrender of 55 Germans, making possible the salvage of our vehicles, and saving the lives of wounded comrades."

You are right about Benjamine Broyles (1768-1840) not being the son of Jacob Broyles. Sorry, I skipped a generation. Let me restate. Do you know the name of Benjamine Broyles' wife? Benjamine is the son of Zacharias Broyles (1744-1803) & Delilah Clore (1750-1836), Zacharias the son of Jacob Broyles (1705-1763) & Mary Catharine Fleishman (1704-1761), and Jacob the son of Jonah's Broils (1679-1733) & Ursula Rump (1679-1738). Thanks, Joyce Brown
