It has come to my attention that there is a Broyles website with excellent images and documentation of the earlier Broyles (Breyhel) family history.  I highly recommend that you check out this well documented Broyles site. I prefer to  refer you to that site rather than copy their records and distract from their great efforts.  Our own research and documentation begins with Generation 2 and will show my husband's lineage from that point forward.  The first generation here was taken from an earlier gedcom record and appears to be less accurate than that found on the Broyles web site at:  http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george

Generation No. 1

  1.  Johannes1 Broyles was born 1680 in Germany, and died 1734 in Madison Co., Germany.  Johannes Breyhel, son of Conrad and Margaretha (Schelling) Breyhel, was christened 1 May 1679, in Dußlingen (Dusslingen), Württemberg (Wuerttemberg), just south of Tübingen (Tuebingen) in present day Germany. He moved about 50 miles away to        Ötisheim (Oetisheim) around 1700. On 6 Nov 1703 he married Ursula RUOP, daughter of a local grave digger. Johannes and family emigrated to Virginia in the summer of 1717, with about twenty other families from nearby villages. Gov. Spotswood of Virginia, who paid their
passage in return for an indenture of seven years, settled them at "Germanna" where
he had located an earlier group of German immigrants in 1714. (Germanna is located
where Virginia Rte. 3 crosses the Rapidan River west of Fredericksburg.)
