Hi Anna, Great to hear from you. Are you related to the Charles Broadwater who lived in St Charles MO? I had a woman from Montana contact me previously about him. Aghhhh, so many Charles'. Most of the names you mention were repetitive down to the descendants. My Charles lived in Edgefield, SC, but left there and moved to AL around 1850. He was born 10/10/1827 and lived with a Gilchrist family. He just seems to have appeared from out of nowhere. I believe there were two Broadwaters' living in Edgefield at the time, but I cannot connect him to those two men. The brick wall looms taller and taller it seems. Good luck in your searching and let me know if you locate an ancestor or two. Nancy Broadwater Walsh
