Other families that are "glue" include the Heimbach and Otterbach families. Probably the reason they are not embraced by many descendants is that these were female lines and the surname did not descend as widely in America. I think Sarge would agree with me that it's time we start embracing more Germanna women! ;-) On Jun 29, 2010, at 1:28 AM, "George W.

Descendants of Adam and Conrad Reuben include the following families: CARPENTER, CRISLER, UTZ, SNYDER, CLORE, BLANKENBAKER, AYLOR, ROUSE, TANNER, WEAVER, WAYLAND, YOWELL, FISHBACK, MILLER, RACER, CREIGLER, SOUTHER, YAGER, GAAR/GARR, PAINTER, HOLT, FINKS, and others. But no mention is never made about the BROYLES contribution to relationships of all the rest of the Germanna families. If you have a WILHITE/WILHOIT/etc. ancestor, chances are pretty dang good that you also have a BROYLES ancestor. I guess what I'm getting at is that WILHITE/WILHOIT gets top billing but we so very rarely see the BROYLES family referred to as "Second Colony glue". Why?

I think Sarge would agree with me that it's time we start embracing more Germanna women! ;-) So true -- now if I could only identify the first wife of Michael Thomas and the two wives of John Thomas, I would be ONE HAPPY CAMPER. Oh well, it's not going to happen so I'll just be a HAPPY CAMPER anyway. Take care. Marilyn
Absolutely Agree! My Germanna ancestry includes, besides BROYLES: FLEISCHMANN/FLESHMAN, KLUG, SCHÖNE, & ÜHL/YOWELL, plus other German families from the Baden-Württemberg area: BAST/BOST, GEORGE, GESSLER/CASTLER, GOTTSAURIN, MÖHLER, RUOP, SCHNELL, & SIGMAN.
