Re: Col. Broyles, 36th GA Infantry regiment

CHARLES EDWARD BROYLES (539) [son of Ozey Robert Broyles (153)] (b. Mar 26, 1826 near Dalton, Whitfield Co., GA;d. Oct 13, 1906 Antonito, Conejos Co., CO).He married 1]Lucy Ann Johnson (b. Mar 19, 1831 Barnwell District, SC;d. Nov 28, 1880 Dalton, GA) June 28, 1848, and 2]Nellie E. Armstrong (b.
Nov 19, 1860 Brooksburg, IN;d. May 14, 1944 Alamosa, CO;bur. Antonito, CA) in Costilla, San Luis Co., CO on Apr 19, 1883.He was appointed with the rank of Colonel to the staff of Joseph Emerson Brown, the Governor of Georgia and his second cousin, in 1858; in that same year, he was elected to the Georgia legislature. He was a colonel in the Georgia 36th Infantry Regiment during the Civil War which surrendered at Vicksburg, Mississippi July 4, 1864; as well, he
was a prominent lawyer and politician in Georgia and later in Colorado where he also engaged in mining and mining claim administration and commerce, having
been appointed Registrar of US Land Claims in his area of southern Colorado.He and his second wife raised a large family in Colorado with many descendants still in the area {slb}.{Keith ascribes a second marriage to an Amanda Vandergriff with issue Charles Edward, Jr., but a Charles Edward Jr was born in 1850 in Georgia and another said-named son was born in 1888 in Colorado (per IGI and descendants) thus each wive bore a Chas. E. Jr. and Vandergriff is likely a
mistake on Dr. Keith's part. It should be noted that Charles Edward had eleven children who lived to maturity, married, and multiplied.* - refer to Appendix XXXI
