William
Irving Broyhill
son of James Broyhill Jr.
1821-1892
In an undated letter provided by Roy
Broyhill, William Irving tells his own story. It appears below.
He was born August 29, 1821 in Monroe County, Tennessee. He
wrote that his father's family and his uncle's family (William) moved
to Illinois in 1830. For many years it was believed that they
moved from Wilkes together around 1820, but the records indicate that
James Jr. moved in 1820 and William several years later. They
must have united in Tennessee prior to the 1830 move to Illinois.
William married Margaret Hutchinson, who was
born in 1823. He died Dec. 14, 1892 and she died Nov. 27,
1910. |

families besides our own imprisoned in that grove. And to the
