Do you know where John Broaddus was born? Do you have any approximate birth or death date for him? If he married in 1807 (assuming it was his first marriage) his probable dob was 1785-1789. The two male children should be easier to trace: do you know anything more about James Lafayette Broaddus Robert Henry Broaddus If you have any more information about the Broaddus family I would appreciate it....
