No official records, no wills, no bible records, etc. So far every person descended from a BROYLES, BRILES, etc., has eventually been able to trace his/her ancestry back to the ONE emigrant, who arrived in America in 1717 from Germany. Your question flies in the face of all genealogy research done to date on this family. IF someone does eventually find a BROYLES line that does NOT "seem" to descend from John, THEN we may raise that question. This family has been so thoroughly researched that IF there HAD been another BROYLES emigrant, he/she would have surely become known by now. George
