Biography
Nancy was born about 1775 in Virginia. She married Aaron Broyles in 1797 and they moved to Campbell County, Tennessee, where they raised their family and where they lived out their lives. In 1860 she was a widow living with her son Aaron Jr. in Campbell County.[1]
Nancy's ancestry is unknown. Many genealogies say she was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Stubblefield) Davis but there are no records in support of that claim. John Davis is mistakenly equated with a man of that name, a Revolutionary War veteran who was born in 1758 and died in 1841 in Clinton County, Kentucky.[2] He did have a daughter Nancy but she was born in 1794. Elizabeth Stubblefield is mistakenly equated with the daughter of Robert and Anne (Parker) Stubblefield who was born in 1737 and who married Andrew Womack.
Nancy is commonly said to have had brothers George and Samuel plus other siblings. Nancy and Aaron had a son George and may have also had a son Samuel. A George Davis (1772-1850) is found in Campbell County living in the Elk Fork Valley. He and Aaron Broyles got consecutive land grants there in 1811.[3]
