Scrolling through Arthur Broadhurst's broadhurst.us site I came across a reference to a Captain John Broadhurst on the 1704 Rent Rolls for Accomack County, owning 1100 acres. The link can be seen HERE.
If you've gone thru this site, you'll find reference to a Captain David John Broadhurst, born 1844, in Wayne County, NC, and his father Jack (John) Broadhurst, born in 1798.
I also found a reference to a will for a John Bradhurst for 1723 for Accomack County, but I don't have a copy as of yet.
A Walter Broadhurst is listed as a member of the House of Burgesses representing Northumberland, Virginia in 1653. Northumberland did not appear as a represented County until 1645.
(The registry number for the Jamestowne Society for Walter Broadhurst is A1110 for those interested in joining)
