Biography

Michael's birth circa 1740 is a rough estimate.

Keith[1] was unaware of Michael's name, but he recognized that the two granddaughters named in the will of Conrad Briles[2] must be children of a deceased son.

20 Jan 1772 - Reverend George Soelle visited Conrad Briles' home:

"On Thursday, the 20th, I came in heavy rain to Curtle Bryel's house. These people are the parents of the one who took his own life late last year because of pangs of conscience and fear...The aged mother took me aside and poured out the distress which she had been feeling for many a year...At the close I baptized the younger Bryle's little son, George, after I had made a statement about baptism." This last phrase appears to refer to Frederick's son George. The first part of the account refers to Michael's suicide in 1771.[3]

5 May 1772 - Michael Broyals is deceased and his widow Susannah qualified as administratrix of the estate, under bond of 300 pounds, with David Smith and Philip Byerly as security. She was bound to return an inventory within the year. Rowan Co., N.C. [4]

6 Aug 1772 - The inventory of the estate of Michael Brile is presented. Valued at £93.15.0[5]

30 Sep 1783 - Conrad Briles makes his will in Randolph Co., N.C. He mentions granddaughters Mary and Margaret. They are to have an equal share with the rest of the heirs.[2] This is the basis for the assignment of the two girls to Michael.
