Grandmother Rebecca’s ancestors have been traced to her great-grandfather John Broyhill, whose ancestors were found in Shropshire, England. He had settled in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and this is where the Broy family resided until Rebecca’s father Daniel moved his family to Lewis Co., MO. John’s brother James fought in the Revolutionary War, but as far as we know, John did not.
John’s son and Rebecca’s grandfather William was a landowner, tax collector, and tanner. He disowned his sons, Daniel Boone Broy and his brother John in his will. The reason is unknown. Daniel, Rebecca’s father, was a manufacturer and inventor. He invented an early form of corn planter but was unable to profit from it, as John Deere Co. stole his patent.
Our grandmother Rebecca was the second oldest of eight children, seven of whom were daughters. Rebecca was married to William Addison Tuley in Lewis Co. on May, 6, 1847, and she bore 13 children, the youngest of whom was my great-grandmother Tresa Tuley.
