Notes:

In 1850, this family resided in Yancey County, NC. Isaac Broyles' occupation was listed as merchant, and he owned slaves:
one black male, age 6; one black female, age 23; and one black female, age 10.

In 1860, they were in Burnsville, Yancey Co NC, and Isaac's occupation was listed as farmer. Jane was listed with real estate
valued at $3,000 and personal property valued at $4,653. The census listing for the main household included John York,
40, a mulatto farm laborer. The separate slave schedule listed two households comprising one black female, 35; one black
female, 20; one black male, 14; and one mulatto female, age 2. (Curiously, the entry for this two-year-old child is checked
as "fugitive from the state".)

In 1870, they were in Hendersonville, Henderson Co NC, and Isaac's occupation was listed as physician. Daughter Cordelia,
age 24, was employed as a teacher, and Hickman, 23, had occupation listed as "works on farm".

In 1880, they were in Saint Clair, Hawkins Co TN. Isaac was still occupied as a physician.

In 1900, they were in Ward 3 of Tyler, Smith Co TX. The household included daughter Anna, age 42, and daughter Hattie,
age 28, along with her husband Ed Hayth and their two daughters, Edna and Emily. Isaac was still listed as a physician, and
Ed Hayth was listed as a merchant.
