I'm sure I don't even start to have all of them in my databases, and never counted them; however, I know that I have at least a couple dozen in my main lines !!!!! I'll tell you how bad (or good) it is up in Washington and Greene Counties, TN. Today if a BROYLES and WILHOIT marry, you can be assured they are cousins at least 2 or 3 ways. (GRIN) My mother's brother, a BROYLES from Washington County, married a WILHOIT from Greene County. A couple years ago I did some digging on the Greene County WILHOIT lines and found out that they were indeed related. My uncle's wife, the WILHOIT, was 3rd cousin to my uncle's father (my grandfather). To top it all off, the mother of the WILHOIT wife was a BOWMAN, and that line had also married back and forth with both BROYLES & WILHOIT. I'll look through the databases and see how many I can find. Heck, if you go back to the 1717 immigration and start forward, you will find many such marriages in the 1700's and early 1800's. They didn't wait until they had all migrated to TN, they started it back in Germanna and other VA areas. It is interesting though. Maybe other's on here will search through their files and see how many they have. Actually I think I am my own cousin several times, considering all the "removes".
