I sent this earlier today but I think I misaddressed it. If not, please forgive. When I joined this several weeks ago, I understood it was a group for Broadhurst and derivations like Broaddus and Broadus. So far, I have seen one message and it is for a late arriving Broadhurst. This was very interesting to read but did not apply to my family. I know of people in Kentucky, Illinois, Virginia, Texas, and now Alaska who are studying Broaddus and one says he might write a book. So somebody is holding out. I am about to make a short trip but I will throw out a teaser: I am descended from and have a modest amount of information about Edward Broaddus who landed on Gwynns Island, VA and moved to Caroline County, VA in 1715. He had two wives, Mary Shipley and Dolly ?, He had seven children and I can trace one, Robin, to the present day. There were a lot of notorious Baptists (you see, I am not one of them), three who kept Salem Church in VA for 106 years, one helped found the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville and was its president. One led a wagon train of 200 people from VA to Texas and founded a new community. So where are you contributors? James Morrison Stone son of Andrew Broaddus Stone
