Hi Jackie, I have been searching, literally, for years for my g-g-grandfather, Charles M. Broadwater. He was born October 10, 1827, possibly in SC. He did reside in Edgefield, SC(Edgefield District) until around 1850 when he is listed in the census for Russell County, Alabama. When he resided in Edgefield, SC, he lived with a Gilchrist family, which has proven very hard to research. As of yet, I have not found a marriage connection to the Gilchrist family and I am going crazy trying to find Charles' parents, siblings, anything. I have information on him after he migrated to Alabama, but nothing prior to 1850. Cant wait to hear from you and thanks so much for offering to help. Take care, Nancy Broadwater Walsh
