Descendants of Robert A. Broyles

Generation No. 1

1. ROBERT A.¹ BROYLES was born August 1825 in Greenville, SC, and died Unknown. He married MALINDA. She was born Abt. 1835 in South Carolina.

Notes for ROBERT A. BROYLES:
What is the connection with Robert Broyles to a slaveowner in SC Anderson County? "The 1800 Census of Pendleton District, South Carolina" by Stewart shows that Aaron Broyles had slaves on his property. Census shows him with seven white people, one other free person, and three slaves. It's likely that he lived on Rocky River. Interesting to note that Samuel Brown, who never had slaves, lived about 12 names away on this census. In 1810, a man named Aaron Broyles is shown as having 11 whites on his land and nine slaves. Pendleton County later became Anderson County. Not sure if these two Aaron Broyles listings are the same person. Right next to him is Cain Broyles with two whites and one slave. Twenty names away is Reuben Broyles (no slaves) and 24 names away is James Brown with five whites and one slave. [SOURCE: David Goodwin, TBPN51B@prodigy.com]

It is likely that Robert BROYLES was born on the plantation of Aaron Broyles in SC Anderson County (formerly Pendleton County). I need to reseach Slave Schedule Roll #861 for SC Anderson Co. [SOURCE: speculation of Wayne Hicks]

He is listed in the 1870 SC Census as living in Broadway Township in Anderson County. Nine of his children are living at home during the 1870 Census (Adaline, 15; Julia A., 14; Paul, 13; Zacariah, 11; Samuel, 10; Anna, 8; Major, 6; Robert, 4; Ida, 1).

He is listed in the 1880 SC Census living in Broadaway Township in Anderson County. His household consists of wife Malinda, 45 and the following children: Julia, 23; Enoch, 21; Zackriah, 19; Samuel, 16; Anna, 14; Major, 12; Robert, 10; Tallie, 8 [misclassified as a daughter]; Ida, 6; Doctor, 4; Ellah, 3; Minta, 2; Moses, 1]. This census also shows that Robert's parents were born in Virginia.

He is listed in the 1900 AR Census living in Faulkner County with the Collins family. He is shown as being a 'father-in-law'. His birthdate is two years different than the 1880 Census (now shown as Aug'1827).

Notes for SAMUEL BROYLES:
1870 SC Anderson Co Census shows Samuel Broyles as a 10-year old child. A decade later he is listed as a 16-year old. For purposes of the database I'll split the difference until I can verify the date by some other means.

Marcia Davis (DFZY01A@prodigy.com] informs me that there is a Samuel C. Broyles in the 1860 Census (page 379), Izard County, Arkansas. I don't know if these are the same Samuel Broyles or not. Need to research.
