My memory tells me he may have been a son of Ninevah Rush Briles who traces back to Randolph Co. NC. It is a proven fact that EVERY BRILES is related. They all trace back to 1717 to the second Germana Colony. Decended From Johannes Brohl (as it was Changed by the English) My wife and I have spent a lot of time in every county in Indiana where we could find the name. Hamilton was one we always look in for more, thats why i'm on the List. (Waiting) We made a lot of trips up North but never found links to all the Briles we found. I am trying to find Decendants of all of them. the hard ones are the woemen that Marry. I believe Henry Clay Briles died in Indianapolis and is buried there, I could be wrong I have about 3,500 names (Or more) in my book. About 300 pages of Information (Incl. Index) I am always willing to exchange Info. Hope this helps with your question, Jack E. Briles, Sr. jb502000@aol.com PO Box 444 New Albany, In. 47151-0444 (812)282-6585
