Thomas Jefferson Broyhill
son of William Allen Broyhill
1852-1930 |
Thomas Jefferson Broyhill was born in Wilkes County, NC on June
16,
1852. He married Sallie Gilreath on Jan. 12, 1882 in Wilkes.
They had eleven children that included three sets of twins.
He owned a sawmill near Moravian Falls and was
the founder of Harmony Church. His entire family moved to Hopewell,
Virginia during World War I. He died about 1936. He descendents
remember him as a quiet man and deep thinker. During the 1920's, he
predicted television and that his children would live to see a man on
the moon. He was a skilled carpenter and my Dad remembered his
large, powerful hands.
I have extensive biographical information on
Tom and have compiled the genealogy of his wife. His youngest son,
"Pete" had Tom and Sallie's Family Bible and gave it to this
author just a few days prior to his death. |
