Erasmus R. BROYLES

1843 - 1886  (43 years)

• Name	Erasmus R. BROYLES
  Born	23 Aug 1843	Tennessee, United States   [1]
  	It is not documented where he was born. His parents were married in Tennessee in 1841, and he was born (1843-1845). In the 1860 Census his birthplace is shown as Tennessee, and in the 1910 Census, his children are listed with a father having been born in Tennessee.
  Gender	Male
  Residence	14 Jun 1860	Louisville, Winston, Mississippi, United States   [2]
  	There is an "E. R. Broiles" listed as living with George W. Richardson and his wife, Elizabeth, on 14 June, 1860 in Louisville, Winston, Mississippi. There is no proof that this is "our" Erasmus R. Broyles;" however, George Washington Richardson was his uncle, the younger brother of his mother Martha M. Richardson Broyles; so it seems most likely that this is he. This census says that he was born in Tennessee and that he was born in 1843.

Broyles from the U.S. Hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania to the Union Army prison at Point Lookout, Maryland on October 3, 1863.
