Walter died in 1658/59 and is buried in Westmoreland Co., VA. Children included Garrard, Walter, and Elizabeth. Anne later married (2) Henry Brett and (3) John Washington. I have a copy of Walter's will. Walter's father was William Broadhurst of Lilleshale, Shropshire. More about him can be found in Social Life of Virginia in 17th Century.
