James
H. Broyhill
son of John Norman Broyhill
1812?-1859?? |
James is listed on
the 1850 Census of Wilkes County, NC as being 38 years old, thus the
1812 birth date cited above. He married Rhoda Hampton in Wilkes
on March 2, 1835. It is not known if she was related to the Hamptons who married her aunts
Sally and Francis.
Dewey Broyhill IE2-G told me that James
lived most, if not all, of his life in Wilkes and was county officer.
I have found no record of the latter.
Apparently he died before September 5,
1859, because on that date Rhoda married an Emeral Dowell in
Wilkes. Interesting, Roger Broyhill of Peoria recently located a
grave in Illinois of a Hampton woman, who was married to the oldest son
of John Broyhill. If this is Rhoda, what happened to Dowell and how did
she get to Illinois?
The 1850 Wilkes Census lists their children as
Adeline, age 13;, Thomas, 12; Steven, 9; Johnson, 7; Jefferson, 5;
James, 3; and Ekhram?, 1. the 1860 Census lists James 14; William
9; Mary 7, Kattie Jane, age not given; and Melody, 2. Family
records list Mitalda, Martha, Mary, James, Thomas, Johnson and
Steven. Thus there could have been as many as 13 children. |
