Dear Ted, Just saw your post (been in Hawaii for two weeks for our 35th wedding anniversary). My 3rd ggf William Alfred GOTCHER, married Mary BROYLES, the dau of Adam BROYLES and Mary??? These are the only BROYLES I have so far. I show the following , which is unproven: Mary BROYLES b. 23 January, 1776 in Culpepper Co., VA. Married William Alfred GOTCHER about 1790. Died after 1850 in Farmersville, Collin Co., TX. Seven known children. Adam BROYLES b. about 1728 in Spotsylvania, PA. Married Mary ??? about 1745 in Culpepper Co., VA. Died April 1782 in Washington Co., TN. CHILDREN: Anne BROYLES b. (???) Moses BROYLES b. (1755) Milla BROYLES b. (1760) Jemima BROYLES b. (1765) Aaron BROYLES b. (1767) Joshua BROYLES b. (1772) Mary BROYLES b. 23 January, 1776. That's all I have. I would like to extend the line and get all parents and children possible. Can you help?
