This is very interesting. There were Broyles/Byerly marriages in Harrison Co., IN, but more importantly, John Briles of Randolph Co. (son of Jacob of George?) was in Shelby Co., IN. It is conceivable that Mary Brals was a daughter of George Briles. Please respond to BROYLES-L@rootsweb.com To: BROYLES-L@rootsweb.com cc: (bcc: Steve Broyles/Bos/Teradyne) Subject: " MARY BRALS " Just curious, can anyone identify the " Mary Brals " in the piece below ?
