William Voyles (also Voiles, Vowells) (1741 – January 1798) was an American Revolutionary War soldier who enlisted in the militia on the same day as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. He fought with the 1st Battalion of the North Carolina militia, and reenlisted in 1779.〔He was paid nine pounds, four shillings in May 1782 for military service; and in May 1783, he was paid nine pounds, two shillings.〕 Voyles served under the command of General Francis Marion (known to his contemporaries as the "Swamp Fox"), as well as General Nathanael Greene and Major General Horatio Gates. He was captured by the British during the Battle of Camden, but was able to escape. He later fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain, and the Battle of Cowpens (the turning point for the Patriots in the Southern Campaign of the war). ==Early life== Originally from Pembrokeshire, Wales, Voyles came to America circa 1755 with his father, Jacob, brother Thomas, and the twins, John and James.
