Steve can you help me find proof regarding the last name of Daniel Broyles' wife. This Daniel was the son of Cyrus (Michael's brother) and may have left Virginia for the wilds of Tenn after the Rev War. His uncle Michael was out having adventures and my best guess is that Daniel who left home to join the war at 15 and was a wanderlust most of his life, roamed out to see Uncle Michael right after the war. Some sources say his wife was Mary Robinson but where is the record? Daniel did not appear to join his father in the Watauga until 1790, his whereabouts between 1783 and 1790 are unknown. Can you give me any advice where this information might be? Actually several of my lines appear to have been in the wilderness during this period and it is hard to locate records especially when one lives in Washington State. William Compton born about 1790, who ended up in Rhea County is another one I have been searching for with no luck. Can anyone point me toward some early records that might help?
