I also know there were some had large land holdings in the southwest portion of Morgan County, GA near the Jasper County, Ga line, early. I do not know where they came from or where they went but since they are an early Charleston family, I look at them, closely. John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA Thanks John, This is a strange lot. I have searched and so far all the Broughton's from Sc say they don't connect. Hub Broughton told me that the Russell Co, AL / Jefferson Co,Ga, Bunch has always been a mystery. I will check Charleston and see what I can find. Betty
