Henry is my gg-grandfather and the oldest BROADWATER relative that I can identify. He was born abt 1823 in Virginia, according to the 1850 & 1860 census info. He married Lyvia Ball, born January 13, 1831 in Iowa, on August 15, 1850 in Bloomington, McClean Co., Illinois. He was in the war for several years, but don't know which side. The 1885 Nebraska census shows him as a border with the Theo Wilcox family (Henry left Lyvia and their children after 1880). That census also says that Henry was born in VA, and that his parents were born in VA too. That's all I have to go on. Can anybody help????
