William Byars bought Brooke Hall from his cousin James M. Dysart in 1806. He later built a second Brooke Hall across the road. He was one of 14 children of John Byars who died in 1781 in Louisa County, Virginia. John's wife was Elizabeth Thomas. John's parents were Henry Byars and Peggy Gentry. James Dysart was married to Agnes Nancy Beattie whose Brother David was Elizabeth Beattie's Father. The Byars were already related to the Dysart's and Beattie's in Ireland and Scotland. James Dysart and David Beattie fought in the Battle of King's Mountain in the revolution. Can provide some source information if you like.
