Benjamine
Harold Broyhill (1859?-1919+),
son of John E. Broyhill
Vianer Octavia Church (1880??-1919??), wife of Benjamin Broyhill |
Ben is listed as living in the household of his parents on the 1860,
1870, and 1880 Wilkes County Census. The various ages listed for
him suggest he was born around 1859. He married Vienna Octavia
Church in Wilkes County on April 16, 1893. The marriage license
states that both were born in Wilkes.
I have mixed information about their children.
Dewey Broyhill of Moravian Falls said that they had: Mary Hazel, Fred,
John, and another daughter.
Watauga County records show that a Benjamine
Broyhill died on April 13, 1925 at the age of 53. Thus this Ben
would have been born in 1872, not 1859. Thus there may very
well be two Ben Broyhills and the following list reflect both of their
children. Dewey Broyhill said that Ben, son of John E.,
was buried at either Banner Elk, Boone Trail or Valle Cru. |
The 1920 census shows Benajmin Broyhill in Shawneehaw, Watauga
Co. NC. He is 56 years old (b. c.1864). No wife is listed.
In his household are: |
