Biographical Information

Marvin T. Broyhill was born on 11 November, 1941 in Washington, D.C., the son of Marvin T. Broyhill, Jr. (1918-1969) and Audrey E. Wilson Broyhill (1918-2003). Marvin T. Broyhill III had three younger siblings: Ronald Paige Broyhill (1948-1954), Randall Paige Broyhill (1958-1984), and Deborah A. Broyhill Mundy (b. 1958). After serving in the Air Force, Marvin T. Broyhill III began a career as a real estate developer, which included working on historic preservation projects such as the renovation of the Appomattox Iron Works. Marvin T. Broyhill III's interest in historic preservation led him to become an avid genealogist, and he created several Broyhill family genealogy webpages, in addition to writing a book on his Brewer ancestors, entitled The Brewer Family of Colonial Virginia. Marvin T. Broyhill died in March 2016.
