James Broyhill Jr.
son of  James, the First Broyhill  1798-1849
   James Jr. was born in Wilkes County, NC on July 24, 1798.  He married Clarissa Harlow Johnson there on June 28, 1820.  One family member said that she was related to President Johnson.  They left Wilkes County in the fall of 1820, because James was opposed to slavery.  Clarissa gave birth to their first child, William Irving Broyhill, in Tennessee the following year.  They remained in the blue Grass State until the fall of 1829, because an undated letter of William Irving states that they arrived in Illinois in 1830.  James Jr. died in Tazewell County, Illinois on 
October 7, 1849.
