General Notes: Jacob G. was the only one of his father's sons to have married a woman of English ancestry.
November 1792: "Ordered that Elizabeth Bumpas an orphan of John Bumpas, deceased, be bound to Jacob Broyles until she attains to the age of eighteen years to learn to spin, knit, sow (sic), and read. Said orphan now of the age of eight years in May past. 8 shillings paid." On the same date, Lettia Bumpas, orphan of Job, age 4, is also bound to Jacob.
Military: September 1758, paid 9 shillings for service in the French Indian War.
Moved: 1780, from Virginia to Tennessee.
Jacob was the son of Hans Jacob Broyles and Mary Catharine Fleishman of the Germanna Colony of 1717. When Jacob was 25 years old he married Elizabeth Yowell (about 1763) in what is now Madison County, Virginia.
Jacob was born in Orange County, in the part which is now called Madison County. Members of the Broyles' family still live in Madison County today, although most of the Broyles family moved to South Carolina in what is now Tennessee.
It is said Jacob and Elizabeth had seven children: Lewis, Delilah, Jeremiah, James, Keziah, John, and Ezekial. Several are listed below:
- Jeremiah, married Sarah Jones in Green County, Tennessee, in 1796. The Broyles south of Nolachuckey River in Green County are for the most part, descendants of Jeremiah.
- Keziah, married Rev Thomas Williamson on Horse Creek in 1790, and became ancestress of the Horse Creek Williamsons.
- Lewis, b. 1763, Culpeper County (now Madison), VA. Was a Revolutionary soldier. Married Mary McCain 1784 in Green County, Tennessee. He had son, Jacob, know as "Black Jack".
In Sept 1758, Jacob Broil is paid 9 shillings for service in the Culpeper County militia. The county paid a total of £415 for the militia. This was for service in the French and Indian War.
Jacob Broyles owned Horse Creek Farm in 1778, although history indicates it was settled as early as 1765, and previously owned by Emanuel Sandusky. In 1794, two years before Tennessee became a state, son Lewis became the second generation to own the farm. The farm produced tobacco, barley, oats, wheat, cattle, hogs, sheep and horses. In addition to farming, the family built a gristmill on the property. According to the family’s records, a two-room house was built above the mill for a traveling doctor who came to the community.
The farm passed through five more generations and in 1964, the ggggreat granddaughter, Mattie L. Snapp, acquired 32 acres of the original farm owned by her ancestor, Jacob Broyles. The Mattie Lou Broyles Snapp Farm is derived from the Horse Creek Farm that was established by Jacob Broyles in 1778. Latest information states Wayne Brown works the land and raises hay and tobacco.
The Mattie Lou Broyles Snapp Farm is designated as a Pioneer Century Farm as it was founded prior to Tennessee becoming a state in 1796.
NOTES: Locations changed names as more counties were added: Essex County formed in 1692, Spotsylvania came from part of Essex 1721, Orange from part of Spotsylvania 1734, Culpeper from part of Orange 1749, Madison from part of Culpeper in 1749.
"Tracking Andrew Fox", James H Fox, 2012 provides much detail on the Broyles' family and their trip to Tennessee, as Andrew Fox traveled with Broyles family.
