    1. [BROYLES] Mary Broyles, dtr Jacob Broyles & Mary Fleischman
    2. I was looking over some information that was done by Mr. Keith & the will of Jacob Broyles dated 3 Nov 1761. It lists a daughter Mary in Item 6 - I give and bequeath to my beloved daughter Mary Broil a cow and calf and a bed and a pot and pan and SON PEWTOR to her and her heirs forever. I have a couple of questions. 1) does anyone know if this will was written in German & later transcribed? 2) does anyone know anything further on Mary? As I have stated in prior requests, my 4th great grandfather, Lewis Henry Click was residing amongst descendants of these Broyles families in Broylesville and owned land just behind the old mercantile store less than 1/2 mile. The Broyles families out of this line have been constant neighbors in Washington & Greene counties down through the years. There is absolutely no reason for my Lewis Click to be living in this area. We do not know who his wife was as his will has been lost & no one has ever found any marriage records. All we basically have are two deeds in 1818, Washington County that lists the heirs, and no wife is listed. However, Lewis' son, Henry was born abt 1781 in Richmond Co. , Va according to his pension file. In 1830 Greene co. Tenn census two of Lewis' sons, Martin & Malachi are all living on pg 200. Their neighbors are John Broyles, Ephraim Broyles, John Broyles, Jacob Broyles, John Wilhoit is living right next to Martin Click, Sr. I know this doesn't PROVE anything, but these Broyles families are constantly around our families & feel since our family farm in Washington county sits among all these families we must be related. I am speculating that Lewis Click was probably married twice & possible 2nd wife may have been Mary Broyles. Lewis Click had a son Peter Click and as close as can be determined he was born abt 1767, however, with the fact that the will was written 1761, his birth year could be off by a few years. Peter Click is buried at the Cherokee Baptist Church in Washington County, Tenn. The other thing is that we have NO other Peter's in our lines of the Click family. So my speculation is: Could Mary Broyles, if she did marry Lewis Click, have named a son Peter Click, after her brother Peter Broyles? Anyone have any thoughts about this? Carolyn Whitaker
