William & Nancy moved to Troup, Texas, in Smith Co. in 1880 (where Nancy's brother Wiley was living), stayed there a short while before moving to the Tabor Community in Brazos Co. just north of Bryan. Most of their children were reared in that community. William owned and operated the first cotton gin and grist mill in that part of the county. It was located on a 28 ac, tract of land located between Tabor and the Alexander Cem. and was known as the old Broach place. Cotton was carried to the loading ramp by the Broach boys in hand woven cotton baskets. The press was powered by horses and mules. Three bales of cotton ginned per day was a full days work for all the boys.
