I took a vacation to Mass researching my mother's family and was amazed at how easy it was to locate many of my ancestors including those buried in the 1600s.? Homes, churches and graveyards could be located but it takes some preliminary research.? Rural Mass, New Hampshire and Vermont had changed very little in the last 100 years and it was like stepping into history to walk along those rural roads some unpaved with the 200 year old churches and homes.? It isn't like that where I live, one has to really search to see what the region was like even 100 years ago.? I h
Does anyone know where Cyrus Broyles born 1734 , son of Jacob Broyles is buried and whether his home is still?there?? He?died in Washington Co Tenn.? I believe his property was? right at the intersection of?the Nolichecky?River and Little Limestone Creek northeast parcel.? He also had a saw mill.?Is the home still there?
Anybody have a picture?
Thanks!
Susan

Rhonda,
In "Historic Culpeper", Culpeper Historical Society, Inc. 1974 there is a bit
about Burnley House located on Rte. 621 east of Jeffersonton.? Quoting "Because
there is a COONS graveyard nearby and Joseph Coons was one of the founders of
Jeffersonton in 1789, it apears likely that he was the builder".? This is NOT
the JOSEPH COONS who was the 1714 immigrant, but his nephew, JOSEPH COONS the
1737 immigrant.? But if you are in the area - thought you might be interested -
if?the house and graveyard?are still there.
