This is a quote I was sent several years ago and was in my file. Michael Wilhide patented 280 acres on Sept. 28, 1728. He is mentioned in the accounts in 1733. He proved his importation in 1735. Michael Willheit made his will Jan. 1, 1742-3, probated June 25, 1746. Mentions wife, Mary, sons Tobias, John, Adam, Matthais, and Philip(youngest); and daughter Eve now married to Nicholas Holt. He divides his tract of 289 acres between his sons Matthais and Philip. Friend Michael Holt and eldest son Tobias Willheit are appointed executors. Witnesses are: Balthasa Blankenbaker, John Sneider, and Michael Holt. There definitely is a connection here with Holt and Wilhite(sic). Mary Wilhoit c 1743 married Ziriakus(Crprus) Broyles, b 1732, son of Jacob and Mary Catherine Fleishman Broyles. Cyprus and Mary emigrated to Washington Co, TN(then NC) about 1782. Mary died about 1795 and Cyrus married a Jennie?. All children are by his first wife Mary Wilhoit Broyles. So this makes Wilhite with Broyles.... Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia were some times mixed up in settlers not knowing exactly where they were or thought they were. Another quote: Conrad Wilhite and his family settled in Washington Co., in the Allegheny Mountains with the Watauga River on the northeast side and the Nolichucky River on the southern part of the county. Many others settled in this territory about the same time, among them Conrad's sister Mary and her husband Cyrus Broyles and their family. As I come from several Wilhite Lines and they married each other besides a Mary Wilhite marrying Joel Wilhoite, son of Tobias and Catherine Walke(?), I keep the question by Catherine's name. If you mention Wilhite by yodeling in Owen County, KY the sounds of the name go on forever up and down the hills and over the creeks.
