  • Martin Byerly (born 1775)
  • Margaret Simms (born 1777)
• Born March 31, 1829 in Rowan County, North Carolina

• Married to Rebecca Smith (b December 5, 1825) with children:
  1. Joseph L Byorley (b March 11 1850)
  2. Mary Byorley (b about 1855)
  3. Nancy E. Byorley (b about 1857)

  5. Ulyssus G. Byorley (b about 1863)
  6. Martha J. Byorley (b about 1865)

He's listed in the 1870 census of Marshall County as William Byorley, farmer (age 40), with wife Rebecca (44), Joseph L (age 20, Farmer), Mary E (14), Nancy E (12), Izora M (8), Ulyssus G (6), and Martha J (4). William and Rebecca were from North Carolina, the rest were born in Kentucky.

Nearby is Rebeckah (58) and Hiliard (31) Byorly, with Rebeckah from North Caroliner and Hiliard from Kentucky. Rebeckah is almost certainly related to William, most likely the widow of one of his brothers.
