Gerald, I'm a descendant of Tobias Broyles/Briles also. His daughter Barbara Briles who married Christopher Kesner was my 3rd great-grandmother. Have you found any information on who Tobias' wife was? Marion Brimberry, Jul 2000, gives name of wife as Catherine, maybe last name Lockhart. I don't know what source this came from. ???? If you have found any information on her I would love to see it.
