To the BROYLES list: I received the following from Lisa Whitmore at Ram_On@email.msn.com. She located the connection because her father mentioned an "Uncle Pink" in his BROYLES family...and my great grandfather, William Sylvester BROYLES, B. 1855, (one of 16 children of Lewis S. BROYLES, B. 1829, and Laura Ellen WALLER, B. 1834) had a brother named Pinkney O. BROYLES, b. 1879. I have no further information on the people she is inquiring about (nor more on Uncle Pink) and I am hoping someone on the list knows more. (I do have the complete list of the children of Lewis S. and Laura Ellen Broyles if anyone needs it) She is not a list member, so please reply directly to her in addition to the list. Thanks. Donna Mariner Lisa Whitmore writes: "My grandmother was Girlie Broyles Stallings. Her mother was killed when she was young - I think 8 or 9, but can't swear to it. She was born 3/10/1898 in Benton, Illinois. I think the family moved to Missouri when she was still young - her Mom may have been buried there. Her only brother was Raymond Broyles - the baby of the family. I don't know how many sisters she had total - but I know three of her sisters were Grace Broyles Quinn, Beatrice "Beddie" Broyles Vaughn & Lillian. Uncle Raymond insisted Grandma was born in 1897, but Grandma liked to point out he wasn't there. My grandma always said she never really had a name, her Dad just always called her "girl" so when she went to school, the teachers named her "Girlie". Her mother was killed when "during a thunderstorm, the horses bolted on the wagon. A tree limb came down and struck and killed her Mom who was sitting on the seat." She had a baby in her arms (Raymond) which was not touched. All of the other kids were sitting in the back of the wagon. No I have not joined the Broyles Message Board. I am very new to this and just got serious about this in the past month or so. I was thrilled to find "Uncle Pink" on your listing! I have heard a cousin started the research a few years ago - I am trying to make contact with him to see what he can add. I have another clue which may help out - a cousin found out that my great-grandfather's name was "Martin" & his wife was "Ardie". With the other info - it sounds like it might be Uriah Martin Broyles & his wife Artimissa. I'm going to focus down that path right now. If you find any information on them it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help. Thank you for any help. Lisa Whitmore
