Broadhursts in Massachusetts

The earliest New England connection with Broadhurst appears to be Ralph Bradhurst in Roxbury, Massachusetts. We do not know whether Ralph was born in the colony or emigrated from England. The Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England indicates that Ralph Bradhurst married Hannah Gore 13 June 1677 and had daughters Rhoda Bradhurst, b. 17 May 1678; Dorothy Bradhurst, b. 1 March 1680; Hannah Bradhurst, b. 14 December 1682; and Abigail Bradhurst, b. 4 July 1685. His wife Hannah died 10 July 1686 and he then married Martha, last name unknown, who died 6 August 1693. He married a third wife, also named Hannah, who died 16 April 1710. There is no record of children by the second or third wives. Since there were only daughters the geneaology of this line effectively ended.

Pauline (1871-1906) was one of the 7 children (listed in the 1880 census) of David

John Broadhurst and Martha Jane Baker. This would make her my Great Aunt as she was the sister of Jack John Broadhurst born in 1873.

Evidently, she claimed to be in descent from John Smith. I have never run across the actual proof that but my late Aunt Sarah claimed to be a descendant from Needham

Bryan as well. Needham Bryan married John Smith's daughter Nancy in 1748.

History of Cocke County

2010-05-20T01:57:00.000-07:00

Once a part of North Carolina, Called the State of Franklin, then a part of Jefferson County, Tennessee, Cocke came to its own in 1797 and was named after William Cocke, a political figure and very instrumental figure in the forming of this part of East Tennessee. The history of Cocke County really begins soon after the first treaty with the Cherokee Indians and the English in 1721. The stories of virgin forest and great rivers and streams, and rich bottom lands carried back to Pennsylvania, Vermont, the Virginias, and North Carolina by early discoverers, began the movement of adventurers, hunters, and homesteaders looking for fertile farmlands and new settlements.

James Broadhurst and the Liverpool Rebels - 1820s

2010-05-13T11:28:00.000-07:00

The Liverpool rebels by David Harrison

In December 1823, a group of Masonic rebels met at the Shakespeare Tavern in Williamson Square, Liverpool to recreate the Antient Grand Lodge. The group, led by local tailor Michael Alexander Gage, were rebelling against the central control of London, and what they saw as the ‘tyranny’ of the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE).
The Liverpool rebellion was the culmination of discontent within the large Lancashire Province, which seemed to have been simmering since the Union of the Antients and the Moderns Grand Lodges in 1813.
Lodge of Friendship No. 277 in Oldham had witnessed disruption in 1817. Bickering between the brethren split the Lodge in two, and the rift was only healed the following year after the direct intervention of the Provincial Grand Master.
Many of the rebels, who were mainly a collective of Liverpool and Wigan-based tradesmen and merchants, eventually returned to the UGLE, renouncing their initial grievances and apologising. But a hard core remained, and under the leadership of Gage, the rebels created the groundbreaking Magna Charter of Freemasonry and formed the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of England According to the Old Constitutions, later to become the Grand Lodge held at Wigan.
Ironically, many of the Liverpool-based Masonic rebels were originally from outside the city, such as Gage, who was born in Norfolk, John Robert Goepel, a jeweller who originated from London, and James Broadhurst, a watchmaker from Great Sankey near Warrington.
James Broadhurst was baptised on 25th August 1771 at St. Mary’s Church, Great Sankey. He was the son of a watchmaker, and followed in his father’s footsteps, eventually moving to Liverpool, where he set himself up in business and married Christian Litherland at St. Nicholas’ Church in Liverpool in 1794.
Christian was the sister of Liverpool watchmaker Peter Litherland, who had also originated from Warrington, and was famous for inventing the patent lever watch. Litherland had relocated to Liverpool in 1790, and James seemed to have been close to this fellow watchmaking family.
With the outbreak of the French wars, Liverpool was rife with press gangs, and Broadhurst was ‘inrolled’ into the navy in 1795. He served as an able seaman on the Namur, taking part in the decisive Battle of Cape St. Vincent on 14th February 1797, an outstanding victory, revealing the brilliance of Nelson. In December 1800, Broadhurst was transferred to the San Josef, one of the two captured Spanish ships from the battle, which Nelson commanded at the time. It would be another two years before James was released from service, and he returned to Liverpool back to watchmaking, settling in Trowbridge Place.
In 1847 he received the Naval General Service medal, the medal only being presented to the veterans still surviving at the time. In 1817, like many veterans of the Napoleonic Wars, he entered Freemasonry, joining Merchants’ Lodge No. 442, and in 1820 he joined Ancient Union Lodge No.348, where he became Master. Both of these Lodges became involved in the rebellion.
Broadhurst took an active part in Provincial Grand Lodge meetings, and was quick to join his fellow Masonic tradesmen in the rebellion, sharing the same grievances, freely giving his signature to the document which outlined these issues.
The discontent had started a year after Broadhurst had become a Freemason, and quickly gathered pace, Lancashire Province suffering in part due to the neglect of its Provincial Grand Master, Francis Dukinfield Astley, who never took action in Liverpool or Wigan to diffuse the situation.

Perhaps, like his fellow tradesmen, after surviving through the Napoleonic Wars, Broadhurst sought the equality and freedom of speech for which he had fought, which was perhaps the initial attraction to a society which, he felt, held those qualities.
At a Provincial Grand Lodge meeting at Manchester in October 1818, a resolution was passed which declared that any Lodge whose membership was reduced to less than seven, should not be considered ‘regular’ and the Warrant be declared void.
This resolution was used by Gage as a bureaucratic move to complain about the UGLE, and sent shock waves through the Liverpool Lodges, some of whom, such as the Ancient Union Lodge, was an old ‘Antient’ Lodge which had at the time only ten members. The Ancient Union Lodge held an emergency meeting prior to the Provincial Grand Lodge meeting, and sent a brother to attend to keep an eye on proceedings.
Many Lodges at this time had suffered a decline due to the impact of the Combination Acts 1799-1800 – which outlawed associations of workers against employers – and the majority of Liverpool Lodges, some suffering more than others from low attendance, bonded together.
This led to some Freemasons, such as Broadhurst, joining other Lodges, a move which ensured the survival of the struggling Lodge. The decisive meeting at the Castle Inn, Liverpool, in November 1821, set the scene for rebellion.
A document was drafted with 34 signatures, including Gage and Broadhurst, outlining the dissatisfaction felt by the rebels. This move followed the drafting of a letter, which had been addressed to the Duke of Sussex personally almost two years previous. The letter was extremely direct and revealed the anger felt by the rebels, complaining how certain ‘Modern’ practices were being enforced and how new rules concerning the Royal Arch conflicted with traditional practices.
During this period, certain local Lodges had their own slightly different practices, and hampered by the neglect of the Provincial Grand Master within the rebellious areas of Liverpool and Wigan, the rebels grew extremely sensitive to the transition of the Union of the ‘Antient’ and ‘Modern’ practices.
In a letter to the Duke of Sussex, the rebels refer to an incident in Bath, where petitions for Royal Arch Chapters were dismissed by the Grand Chapter because it was “not desirable to make the Number of Chapters in any place equal to the Number of Lodges.”
The rebels seized upon this example, indicating that they saw the Royal Arch as part of Craft Masonry, and the rejection of the petitions was an abuse of power. The Duke of Sussex, however, did not reply to the letter, which intensified the anger of the rebels and culminated in the November 1821 meeting.

Broadhurst was Master of Ancient Union Lodge in 1821, and along with William Walker, John Pilling and Thomas Berry, represented their Lodge in the rebellion, adding their signatures to the Castle Inn document.

The 34 brethren who signed the document were subsequently suspended by the UGLE, and Gage’s Lodge, No. 31, was erased. This action created further isolation for the suspended rebels as they were not allowed to visit any other Lodges, ultimately providing greater bonding between them.
The dissent spread rapidly through Liverpool as certain Lodges began to support their fellow brethren. The Liverpool based Sea Captain’s Lodge No. 140 threatened to separate itself from the UGLE if Lodge No. 31 was not reinstated, and by the middle of 1822 a list of 65 brethren from Liverpool and Wigan were recorded as being suspended.
On 2nd December 1822, a meeting was held at Lodge of Harmony No. 385, at the Magpie and Stump in Key Street, Liverpool. Lodge of Harmony, like Ancient Union Lodge, had belonged to the Antient Grand Lodge before the Union in 1813. This meeting had visitors from The Merchants’, Mariners’ and Ancient Union Lodges, local Liverpool Lodges which had certain members involved in the rebellion.
The meeting revealed a Lodge in crisis as the Master and Wardens were appointed during an emergency meeting, and not elected or installed, as was the custom. The result of this particular gathering was the wish by all the members present to write a letter to the UGLE declaring the present state of the Lodge of Harmony.
It seems that the Lodge decided against the rebellion and kept their distance, giving their support to the UGLE. Despite this show of loyalty, the Master at the time of the meeting was suspended in 1824 for 12 months, and another brother for seven years, for what was described as ‘un-Masonic conduct.’
Broadhurst also opted out of the rebellion, and along with a number of rebels, presented an apology which brought them back into the fold. He rejoined the Merchants’ Lodge in 1824, but his payments ceased two years later, the experience of the rebellion and the subsequent fall-out perhaps affecting the camaraderie of the Lodge.
Of the rebels representing the Ancient Union Lodge, only Thomas Berry remained to become an active member of the Grand Lodge at Wigan, attending its first meeting at the Shakespeare Tavern in 1823 and serving as secretary at the meeting of March 1825.
Having been suspended during the rebellion, James turned his back on the rebels and conformed. He was not present at the Shakespeare Tavern at the formal opening of the rebel Grand Lodge in December 1823, and took no part in the Magna Charter of Freemasonry which outlined Masonic independence and recreated the ‘Antients’. The leader of the rebellion, Michael Gage, was to fall out with his fellow rebels and resigned from Wigan Grand Lodge in 1842.
Although Broadhurst eventually left Masonry, several of his descendants, who also became Liverpool watchmakers, also became Freemasons, continuing a family tradition. He died in October 1851, and was buried at the Wesleyan Brunswick Chapel in Liverpool.

The rebel Grand Lodge met only at Wigan from 1825, and its last remaining Lodge survived until 1913, a legacy as the longest secessionist Grand Lodge resounding into the early 20th century.

William BeHurst's (Broadhurst) Will from 1826

2009-08-29T00:23:00.000-07:00

This is William Broadhurst's will from 1826. It was provided to me by Nancy Foster (Thanks!). Finally, one more piece to the puzzle. As stated earlier in this blog, William married Frankey Harrill in 1787 in Fauquier County, Virginia before moving back to North Carolina. William and Frankey are the parents of John (Jack) Broadhurst, twin brother of Joe, born in 1797, in Wayne County, North Carolina. What was he doing in Fauquier County, Virginia?? The hunt continues...

Tribute to Ed Broadhurst, of Smithfield, NC

2009-07-06T05:30:00.000-07:00

Tribute to Ed Broadhurst, of Smithfield, NC, from Marvin E Taylor Jr., of Raleigh, NC
On graduation from West Point in 1937, Ed Broadhurst, a native of Smithfield, NC, was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant. Turning his attention to flying, he gained entry to flight school and received his wings in January, 1939, just days after the unexpected death of his father. Broadhurst was assigned to the 19th Bomb Group (three squadrons of B-17 Flying Fortresses) as the Group moved to March Field near Los Angeles and Hollywood, California. Just the ticket for a young bachelor fly boy. In letters beginning in late October, 1941, Captain Broadhurst described an island-hopping flight of B-17s crossing the Pacific to the Philippines. The 19th found itself at Clark and Del Monte Fields on December 8, 1941 (December 7th in Hawaii), when the Japanese launched a delayed attack on the Philippines. In an interview in 1945, then 29-year old Colonel Broadhurst described his experiences on America's first day at war. It began with plans for a photo recon mission over Formosa (Taiwan) by three B-17s to be led by Broadhurst. "At the end of the day", Broadhurst had barely escaped injury in the first wave of Japanese air attacks and was handed the keys to his B-17 by the crew chief as he informed the young pilot that the keys were all that was left. He did learn that his crew, one of whom fired at the attacking aircraft from the bomber's turret gun until the last moment, had survived. The 19th moved quickly to Del Monte Field in the southern Philippines. The first aircraft on which Broadhurst was offered a ride to Del Monte was delayed, so he caught a ride on a second aircraft. The first plane, which left without Broadhurst, was never seen again. The 19th left Del Monte and moved to Darwin, Australia and then to Java. In early March, 1942, the Japanese landed on Java, forcing the 19th to flee the island. Broadhurst and eight other flyers flew out of Java on what newspaper accounts described as the "last plane to leave Java". Broadhurst flew twenty combat missions and was awarded the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Air Medal and Purple Heart. In September, 1942, Major Broadhurst returned to the United States. He found time to court and marry Viola Seubert of Cottonwood, Idaho. They raised three children--Ed, Mary Ann and Barbara. Broadhurst remained in the military after the war. At the time of his death, on April 4, 1965, he had attained the rank of Lieutenant General. He is buried in Smithfield's Riverside Cemetery. An excerpt from General Hamilton Howze's eulogy reflects both Broadhurst's character and style of leadership:

"It is hard to say goodbye to a man whose every action is guided by the profoundest sense of honor and duty, who sought only the wisest and strongest and yet somehow the most considerate and gentlest solution in every problem that confronted him."

Last Tribute to Honored Citizen, Capt. Broadhurst

Goldsboro, Aug. 21 - The funeral of Captain J.D. Broadhurst, who died in this
city Sunday morning was held today at 10 o'clock from St. Paul M.E. Church,
was largely attended and marked by every feature of public honor and community
esteem.

The chief of police and his full corps of assistants were active pallbearers,
while the mayor and board of aldermen and city department heads formed an
especial attendance each bearing a beautiful floral design.

Captain Broadhurst has resided in Goldsboro for forty years, in which time he
had been a justice of the peace, county superintendent, mayor of the city,
treasurer of A. and N.C.R.R. Company and for twenty years latterly clerk of
the city.

He was a native of Wayne County, Indian Springs township, of an old line
family running back to Colonial days and heroic deeds in their country's
struggle for liberty, and was 72 years of age on the first day of last March.
His wife, who survives him, being the same age on the 20th day of the same
month and on the third day of last January they celebrated their "Golden
Wedding" the unusual and happy occasion being marked by a family reunion.

At the first outbreak of the war between the States Captain Broadhurst at the
age of 17, volunteered in the nearest company to his home, which was
Company "K" 26th NC of Duplin County, of which he subsequently became captain,
and served with such intrepid bravery that he is especially mentioned by
President Davis himself for gallantry in his book, "The Rise and Fall of the
Confederacy." Captain Broadhurst was with Jackson at Chancellorsville and left
his good right arm in that memorable field.

Coming home, after a crucial hospital experience, armless, he faced the future
fearlessly and determinedly as he had faced the foe in battle. He was a
powerful force in the work of rehabilitating our section and leading his
people out from the ordeal of reconstruction into environment of peace,
prosperity and self government again, and his people accorded him at all times
their confidence, their gratitude and loyalty, being ever proud to honor him
with public place, which they did in whatever capacity his services might be
enlisted.

On January 3, 1866, he married Miss Martha J. Baker, second daughter of the
late Colonel and Mrs. Jessie J. Baker of this city, and to this union ten
children were born, eight of whom, with their mother, survive him. These are
Mrs. John Farrior of Portland, Ore.; R.S. Broadhurst of Americus, Ga.; J.J.
and P.K. Broadhurst of Smithfield; Mrs. Lila B. Winkleman of this city; Edgar
B. Broadhurst of Greensboro; Capt. Hugh H. Broadhurst of the 8th Calvary, Fort
Bliss, and Charles H. Broadhurst of this city. All of the surviving children
except Mrs. Farrior, Captain Hugh and R.S. Broadhurst, who were detained
either by sickness or urgent duty, were with their father when he passed away.

2009-05-05T19:02:00.000-07:00

Lieutenant-General John Maunsell was born in 1724,
the son of Richard Maunsell of Limerick, a member of
Parliament from 1741 to 1761. Commissioned as an en-
sign in 1 741, he was at the sieges of Louisburg, Quebec,
Montreal, Martinique and Havana, during which time
he rose to be Captain and finally in 1761 Major of the
60th or Royal Americans. He was gazetted for gallantry
Lieutenant-Colonel of the 83d Regiment October 31, 1762,
and was thereafter transferred to the 27th Foot (Iniskil-
lings). He had received for his services a grant of land
adjoining Major Skene's at Whitehall (old Skenesbor-
ough). Coming to New York City, he married for his
second wife Elizabeth Still well, widow of Captain Peter
Wraxall, at Trinity Church, June 11, 1763. He lived here
with his wife at Greenwich, in the Ninth Ward, in prop-
erty belonging to Oliver DeLancey, until he sailed for
England with other loyalists in May, 1755, leaving his
wife behind him. Returning for her in 1776, he then
went to Kinsale, in Ireland, where he had received an
appointment which he had requested in order to avoid
serving against the Colonies. October 19, 1781, he was
gazetted Major-General on half pay in the Irish Estab-
lishment. Living in London until 1784 he resided in
New York continuously thereafter, his city house being

tober 12, 1793. He owned a farm of 60 acres on Harlem
Heights, between Morris and Watkins places, the site
now being divided by St. Nicholas Avenue. He died
July Q.'j, 179s, and was buried in the Bradhurst vault in

July 29, 1611 "In the Carew Manuscripts, I603-1624, published by the British Government, may be found a series of reports made by commissioners who were appointed by the king at different periods to visit the various landlords in Ulster to whom allotments had been made, and take account of their progress. The first party to make such an inspection consisted of five commissioners, among whom was the Lord Deputy for Ireland, Sir Arthur Chichester, who had himself been allotted the district now occupied by the city of Belfast. This visit was made in the summer of 1611, and the commissioners' report is as follows: A Relation of Works done by Scottish Undertakers of Land in the Escheated Counties of Ulster certified bv the Governors, Sheriffs and others; and some seen and surveyed by us in one journey into that Province begun the 29th July, 1611

Samuel Bradhurst & Schieffelin & Somerset Co.

2009-04-25T11:07:00.000-07:00

Operating out of New York City, Schieffelin & Somerset Co. (S&S) is a major American importer of premium wines and spirits, maintaining regional centers in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Texas. The S&S portfolio includes such prestigious brands as Hennessy, Dom Perignon, Moët & Chandon, Chandon Estates, Tanqueray, Johnnie Walker, Grand Marnier, J&B, Pinch, Buchanan's, The Classic Malts, Rufino, and Casa Lapostolle. The company is co-owned by Diageo PLC and Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH). S&S is one of the United States' five oldest continuously operating companies.

Tracing Company Roots Back to Colonial America

Although the Somerset portion of S&S is only 40 years old, the Schieffelin side dates back to the foundation of the United States to a man named Jacob Schieffelin, who if given the choice would not have had the republic come into existence at all. Schieffelin was born in 1857, the son of a German immigrant who settled in Philadelphia in 1745. During the Revolutionary War he remained loyal to the Crown of England and served in the loyalist army. Captured in 1779 he was imprisoned in Virginia before escaping to New York--which was held by the British--and then following the English army to Canada. In Montreal he became a merchant and importer, and after the war he returned to the States, settling in New York, where in 1894 he bought out the business of a brother-in-law, Effingham Lawrence, who had been a New York drug merchant since 1781. Schieffelin then took into partnership another brother-in-law, John B. Lawrence, and established Lawrence & Schieffelin, the distant ancestor to today's Schieffelin & Somerset. The pharmaceutical business that Schieffelin entered was in its infancy. At the time, pharmacists had no standing, and most physicians mixed their own medicines and even rolled their own pills. Lawrence & Schieffelin served as a wholesaler to druggist's shops, which did little more than supply raw materials to physicians, and also sold items such as varnish, paint ingredients, and glass. The first college of pharmacy was founded in 1821 in Philadelphia, and it was not until this period that the line between retail and wholesale druggists became blurred, as prescriptions began to be filled by trained pharmacists.

Located on Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, Lawrence & Schieffelin not only bought, sold, and imported drugs and medicines, it also traded fancy goods, perfumes, and other merchandise. Schieffelin dominated the company and was instrumental in the firm becoming involved in lucrative, yet risky, shipping ventures. His first such investment in 1795 netted a princely sum of $25,000. A few years later, as Napoleon entered the world stage and France and England were trying to deny the other's trade with the United States, the shipping business became highly dangerous. Some of Schieffelin's ships were captured, prompting Lawrence in 1799 to strike out on his own, leaving the firm to change its name to Lawrence Schieffelin. In 1805, it would become Jacob Schieffelin & Son when Henry Hamilton Schieffelin was taken into partnership. (The younger Schieffelin was a graduate of Columbia College in 1801 and then studied law with a prominent New York attorney. By all accounts he was something of a renaissance man, versed in most of the arts and sciences, regarded as a "living encyclopedia.") Again, Schieffelin did not limit his activities to drugs and medicines. Old newspaper advertisements indicate that the firm dealt in "Muscovado sugars," "coffee in hogsheads," cotton from Guadaloupe, "double refined saltpeter," brimstone, and even gunpowder. The elder Schieffelin remained the head of the business through the War of 1812. Despite the loss of two ships, one seized by the French in Amsterdam and another by the English in the West Indies, the firm was able to carry on. In 1814 Schieffelin retired (he died in 1835) and son Henry took over the business, which for the next 35 years would be called H.H. Schieffelin & Co.

The first task that Henry Hamilton Schieffelin faced in assuming leadership of the family business was to overcome the effects of a long war, which had a devastating impact on the economy of the young nation. As business conditions improved so did the firm's fortunes. The company moved from Pearl Street to larger accommodations on Maiden Lane. The panic of 1837 did little to hinder growth. In fact, in 1841 the firm moved to an even more spacious property located on John Street. In 1848 the company grew via acquisition, purchasing the stock and adding the business of Hoadley, Phelps & Co. A year later Henry Hamilton Schieffelin retired, leaving four sons--Samuel Bradhurst, Sidney Augustus, James Lawrence, and Bradhurt Schieffelin--to take control of the firm, which was now called Schieffelin Brothers & Co.

Of the four, Samuel was the dominant partner and chiefly responsible for the firm's growth during the next phase of its history. In 1854 a six-story building was constructed to house the business, an expansion that also allowed the opening of a department devoted to druggists' sundries and shop wares such as mortars, percolators, and pill machines--a major area of growth for the company for the next several decades. As had been the case from the start, however, Schieffelin was nimble enough to take advantage of opportunities that arose outside of pharmaceuticals. With the discovery of petroleum in Pennsylvania, the firm established an office in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and became the first company to ship petroleum into New York City for sale. The ability to adapt to conditions was of vital importance during the Civil War, 1861-65, when the conflict suddenly severed Schieffelin's ties to major customers in the South, many of whom had outstanding accounts that would never be paid. Nevertheless, the company was able to find new sources of income that more than made up for lost business.

Following the war, the four Schieffelin brothers retired from active participation in the company, which in 1865 was once again renamed, becoming W.H. Schieffelin & Co. Lead partner was William H. Schieffelin, son of Samuel B. Schieffelin. Other partners, nonfamily members, included William A. Gellatly, Joseph H. Westerfield, and William N. Clark. The company grew through acquisition in 1875 by purchasing A.B. Sands & Co. In 1882, Schieffelin spurred organic growth by establishing one of the finest laboratories of its kind in the United States. By the end of the 1800s, the company had sales offices located in Chicago and San Francisco, and served Europe through its operations in London, England. It also forged an important alliance with The Farbenfabriken (the Bayer Company), acting as the German drugmaker's representative in the United States.

Prohibition Leading to Shift Away from Pharmaceuticals

Schieffelin entered the 20th century as a leading pharmaceutical wholesaler. In 1906 it became the first company in the United States to file proofs of purity to federal regulators, receiving Guaranty Number One. But soon, because of Prohibition, Schieffelin's business would switch from pharmaceuticals to alcohol, albeit at first it was alcohol intended for medicinal purposes. The drive for a legal ban on alcohol grew out of the religious revivals that swept the United States in the 1820s and 1830s. Although local temperance laws were enacted, it was not until the 1900s that the drive for national prohibition gained momentum, leading to the 1917 ratification of a constitutional amendment to outlaw spirits, and the passage in 1919 of the National Prohibition Act, better known as the Volstead Act, to provide enforcement. In truth, the enforcement effort was dependent on local views regarding prohibition, so that in many areas authorities turned a blind eye to the sale and consumption of spirits. The new laws did succeed, however, in making spirits more difficult to acquire, leading to bootleggers and rum runners, who either manufactured their own beverages, sometimes in a bathtub according to popular accounts, or by smuggling through the United States' porous borders. Another way to procure spirits was the result of a loophole in the law that allowed alcohol to be purchased for medicinal purposes. As was to be expected, the number of prescriptions written for medicinal alcohol soared. Two of the most prescribed "curatives" were Hennessy Cognac and Moët & Chandon Champagne, both of which Schieffelin & Co., as the business was now called, imported. It was in this way that the 125-year-old drug wholesaler developed a thriving new wine and spirit business.

Key Dates:
1794: The predecessor to Schieffelin & Co. is established as a drug distributor.
1920: Prohibition begins, taking Schieffelin into the medicinal alcohol business.
1962: Schieffelin closes its Pharmaceutical division.
1963: Canada Dry Corporation forms Somerset Distillers.
1980: Moët-Hennessy acquires Schieffelin.
1986: Guinness acquires Somerset.
1987: Moët-Hennessy and Guinness create Schieffelin & Somerset as a joint venture.
1997: Guinness merges with Grand Metropolitan PLC, creating Diageo PLC.

"EARLY DAYS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD"

The several City Regiments, when out of, as well as
when in, the service, devoted themselves assiduously to
the acquisition of proficiency in the duties of their
positions. It is on record, that the Company, now the
"Fourth," N. C, whilst on duty in the Forts, attained
such superiority in drill, that it was denominated through-
out the Regiment (the old Eleventh), " Bradhurst's Reg-
"ulars," Captain John M. Bradhurst, then commanding
it ; and it is a fact, worthy of notice, that, although its
composition has, of course, been changed, at least a
dozen times over, still the ambition to excel, and be
pre-eminent in all the duties of the soldier —

" Transfused like life, from breast to breast it glows,
" From sire to son by sure succession flows "—

has come down through all "the changes and chances"
of the intervening fifty years, to its successor, in direct
line, the Fourth Company of the present day ; the dis-
tinguishing characteristic of whose Members is so strik-
ingly in keeping with their "illustrious predecessors."
It is not pretended, by any means, that any one Company
is entitled to an undue share of the credit of the advance-
ment of the character and reputation of the Regiment
to its present eminence and renown ; for, in fact, all, — ■

the original Four Companies, have, by the ability of their

for the interest of the whole Corps, displayed at all times
in the acquisition and preservation of its

" Wealth of ancient fame,"

combined to form the character and reputation of our
present Gallant and Glorious National Guard, which
we, and all who have passed through its ranks in earlier
times, look upon with so much, almost paternal, pride ;
and of which each of us is so proud to still claim,
after a lapse of nearly half a century,

If she was found to have shipped excess provisions over and above those stated to be aboard on her application for a commission, she was to be seized. If everything was according to the application, then her commission was to be delivered to Bradhurst.7

And it is the further order of this Cort that Malachy Peale as attorney of y sd Samll Brett pay unto y sd Lawrence Washington fifty pounds of Tob: for a non suite with costs of suite else Execucion.

Col. Joseph Lemuel Chester to R. A. Brock.

24 April, 1880.

"Some years ago, while searching the wills in the Diocesan Registry at Lichfield, I came upon an old document, of which the following is a verbatim copy:

"'A True and perfect Inventory of y goods and chattells of Anne Washington alias Brodhurst late of Washington Parish in ye county of Westmoreland in ye countrey of Virginia as followeth, vizt - A legacy of three pounds given by ye last will and Testament of William Brodhurst late of Lilleshall in the County of Salop Gent, deceased to ye said Anne Washington alias Brodhurst deceased --- iii'"

"To this, under date of 12th April, 1678, was appended, in the usual form, the record that administration of the goods of sd dece'd, within sd diocese, was committed to her son Walter Brodhurst.

"It was some time before I was able to find the will of William Brodhurst, above referred to, but I did at last. It was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on the 19th November, 1658, being dated 28th April, 1656. He described himself as of Lilleshall, co. Salop, Gent. To his son Walter Brodhurst he left L20, 'to be sent over in such commodities he shall please to appoint', 'also L5 per an for life to be sent him over as he shall appoint', 'also to my said son's wife L3, and to each of his children 40s, except Walter', who was made residuary legatee.

"William Brodhurst named several other sons and daughters, but I take it that Walter was the eldest son, and it is clear that he was then abroad somewhere, intending to remain, and that he was married and had then several children. Why this L3 bequeathed to his son Walter's wife, had never been paid until 1678, after her death, it is impossible to say, but that the item in the inventory quoted refers to the bequest, cannot be doubted.

"The son, Walter, evidently came to this country after his mother's death, found that the L3 had not been paid, and so took this course to obtain it. I may say, also, that on the 28th of June, 1659, administration of the estate of Hugh Brodhurst, who died in Virginia, a brother, was granted to his brother John Brodhurst. These were sons of William Brodhurst, who made the will in 1656, and brothers of Walter Brodhurst, then in Virginia.

"Now, unless it can be shown that there were two Anne Washingtons, of Washington parish, Westmoreland county, Va., living contemporaneously, it seems to me that this lady must have been Anne Pope, first married to Walter Brodhurst, who probably died in, or shortly after, 1656, when she shortly after remarried John Washington, and became the grandmother of the President.

"It is precisely these points that want to be decided. Did Walter Brodhurst die in Virginia in or about 1656-1658? If so, there can be little doubt left, for John Washington must have married his second wife about that time.

"Whether Walter Brodhurst married Anne Pope in this country and took her with him, or married her in Virginia, remains to be decided. I am inclined to think the latter, for I can find no trace of the marriage here.

Page 89.

"It is clear from the language of the Lichfield record that the lady was Anne Washington when she died, and that she had previously been the wife of Walter Brodhurst, because her son Walter Brodhurst administered.

"Whether she died before or after her husband Washington, there is nothing to show. She may have been dead in 1678.

"These are all the facts that I can give you, and I hope that you may be able to do something with them. It is clear from the records you give that the elder walter Brodhurst was living 14 Sept., 1655, and was dead 9 dec., 1662. The grant to Anne Pope, alias Washington, is rather puzzling, but she had ceased to have any title to the name Brodhurst, having changed it for Washttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhington. In the Lichfield record the formula 'Washington, als. Brodhurst', was, no doubt, used in order to establish her identity as the person to whom the legacy was left. Of course, after all (for one of my maxims is, that there is nothing impossible in genealogy), there may have been two Anne Washingtons living contemporaneously in Washington parish; but I think that the evidences are against it. The will of Nathaniel Pope might be important".(1).

THE CHESHIRE LANDED GENTRY AND ARISTOCRACY IN 1810

A snapshot of the Cheshire Gentry and Aristocracy in 1810 can be obtained from the Cheshire volume of 'Magna Britannia' by Daniel and Samuel Lysons, published in 1810. The following tables have been assembled from information in this source. Most of the families in the tables can be traced to the 13th century. However, as surnames were not then as permanent as today and younger branches of the family often took surnames from their place of abode, there are frequent difficulties in tracing some of the families to an earlier date. Those families that can be traced to the early 12th century are Davenport, Mainwaring, Grosvenor, Legh of East Hall, Warburton and Massie.

Samuel Broadhurst (Bradhurst) Owned Much of Harlem and Manhattan??

2009-04-13T07:25:00.000-07:00

from "My forefathers, their history from records & traditions"

(note: I added scripting to text)

CHAPTER V

THE MAUNSELL PROPERTY

Indirectly, it seems that Samuel Bradhurst's descendants are more
indebted to Miss Norwood than they are generally aware ; for, how-
ever well-to-do he had previously been, his property had not escaped
the ravages of war ; and it was not until after his inheritance from that
lady that he began to acquire that extent of real estate in and about
New York which was the foundation of his family's well-known
territorial possessions in that city.

In the same year that Miss Norwood died, Samuel Bradhurst
entered into negotiations with Messrs. Ludlow & Goold for the pur-
chase of no acres at Harlem from Mr. George Aitkin, of St. Croix,
the executor of his brother, Charles Aitkin, who had bought this
"Plantation" seventeen years before (in 1770) from General and
Mrs. Maunsell.' This was the beginning of Mr. Bradhurst's acquisi-
tion of the Maunsell estate, the whole of which eventually became his,
partly by purchase and partly by inheritance, and to which he and
his son, John Maunsell Bradhurst, added many of the surrounding
and adjoining lands.

To those who are acquainted with the rapid growth of New York
city, and the consequent development of Harlem, the possession of
no acres of, what are now, streets and avenues, is worthy of note;
and yet this was but one of several of the farms or plantations which
composed the Bradhurst estate, reaching finally across the whole
breadth of Manhattan Island, from river to river. General Maunsell
and his wife possessed a considerable amount of property in this
neighbourhood both before and after the War of Independence ; and
this particular " Plantation " had been sold by them to Mr. Charles
Aitkin, who dying and leaving daughters in minority, his brother

' The title-deed signed by General and Mrs. Maunsell, and witnessed by his
brother-in-law, John Watkins, is now in the possession of A. M. Bradhurst.

46 SAMUEL BRADHURST, OF PINEHURST

George had the power of disposing of it. But as the latter resided in
the West Indies, Messrs. Ludlow & Goold were authorized to act for
him in the matter. In 1787 they wrote to Mr. Bradhurst :

"Sir,

" In consequence of a Power of Attorney, and Letter of Instruc-
tion & advice &ccc, received of Mr. George Aitkin, of St. Croix,
Executor of the Last will of his brother, Mr. Charles Aitkin, deceased,
extracts of his letter relating to that business we deliver to you. In
consequence of the Powers intrusted in us, contained in the above
letter &ccc, to dispose of the houses & land of the late Charles Aitkin
at Harlem, in the outward of this Cit)', we have considered of your
Proposals for the Purchase of the same, and we do close & agree with
your offer for the same, as signed by you. We do therefore Authorize
you to take Possession of the said Premises, and do Promise that
Proper Instruments' for vesting the said Farm &cc in you & your
heirs, shall be by us sent to St. Croix to Mr. George Aitkin, for him to
execute, and when we receive them, they shall be delivered to you on
closing the Agreement.

" Ludlow & Goold."

The " extracts " thus referred to, gave Messrs. Ludlow & Goold
the necessary authority. In May and August, 1787, the "Instru-
ments " referred to were duly signed, and the signatures attested by
William Lowndes, Charles Rodgers, and Andrew Underbill. Now,
after the lapse of a hundred years, the description of this property in
those documents is interesting, and, as time goes on, it will become
more so :

" All that certain Farm or Plantation whereof the said Charles
Aitkin in his Life Time and at the Time of his Death was seized in
Fee, situate lying and being in the Township of New Haarlem, in the
County and State of New York, comprehending five several Pieces
or Parcels of Land as the same was purchased by the said Charles
Aitkin from John Maunsell and Elizabeth his Wife & containing in
the whole one hundred and ten Acres and three Quarters of an Acre
be there more or less ; With all Houses, Outhouses, Buildings,
Edifices, Advantages & Appurtenances thereunto belonging or in any
Wise appertaining."

The five "pieces or parcels of land " are separately described ;
the first, "containing in all twenty Morgen and a half all Dutch

' These " Instruments," and, in fact, all the title-deeds, and the correspondence
relating thereto, including Mr. Bradhurst's copies of his letters, are now in the
possession of his great-grandson, A. M. Bradhurst.

THE MAUNSELL PROPERTY 47

Measure," is said to have been laid out, 23rd December, 1691, for
" Maye Bastijanse by Order of the Patentees of the Township of New
Haarlem out of the Common Land of the said Township " ; the second
piece is said to run along " Hudson's river " ; the third is bounded
" westerly by the Highway from New York to King's Bridge, easterly
by the East River, Northwardly by land formerly belonging to John
Watkins " &cc ; the fourth is also bounded by the same Highway, and
by the lands of John Watkins and of John Maunsell ; and the fifth is
described as "a certain Piece or Parcel of Wood Land" (bounded by
the properties of J. Sickles and P. Waldron).

These details and names are given here not only because they
were familiar to Samuel Bradhurst, but because many of them are
familiar to a later generation — a generation which now is already
fading, and to which some of these names of the past may recall
memories, and revive old tales and anecdotes of sufficient interest to
be preserved a while longer.

In 1788 we find Samuel Bradhurst and Richard Norwood, acting
as Miss Norwood's executors, disposing of property to John de la
Mater, " in the Swamp or Crupel Cush in Montgomerie Ward."
Mr. Bradhurst afterwards bought back this property from Mr. de la
Mater. It had been purchased by Miss Norwood in 1770, and was
then described as being bounded " on the south-west to a new laid
out street, called Ferry Street," and to the north-east by land belong-
ing to " Jacobus Rosevelt," and to the south-east by the property of
John Chambers. The witnesses to the last-mentioned transaction
were Matthew Norwood and Lindley Murray," the well-known gram-
marian, who was a friend of Mr. Bradhurst's.

On the 12th December follovidng Miss Norwood's death (1787),
Mr. Bradhurst's third daughter, Catherine Ann,' was born, and was
baptized by the Rev. John Rogers.

' The documents with their signatures are in the possession of A. M. Bradhurst.
Matthew Norwood was presumbly a relative of Miss Norwood's ; but her brothers'
names were Andrew, Benjamin, and Richard.

^ Her first husband was John McKesson, widower, a lawyer ; her second husband
was H. W. Field, Senior. She had no children by either marriage, but was the step-
mother of the late John McKesson, of New York, and of the late H. W. Field, Junior,
of the Palazzo delle Sette Sale, Rome.

48 SAMUEL BRADHURST, OF PINEHURST

Not content with his Virginian and Harlem estates (to the latter
of which he was continually adding), Dr. Bradhurst began, a few years
later, to buy up houses and property in the city of New York itself.
In 1792-3 he bought what was known as the "Church Farm" (in
Murray Street), it having been sold, some five years previously, by
the Corporation of Trinity Church. The document relating to his
purchase of this land (which was bounded on one side by Chappie
Street) was signed, as witnesses, by two of his most intimate friends
and relatives — by two names held in high honour among their
contemporaries — by Samuel Watkins and Josiah Field.

In 1793, Mr. Bradhurst again added to his estate at Harlem, his
relative, Samuel Watkins, appearing as witness before John Ray,
Master in Chancery. That same year the firm of Bradhurst and
Watkins was formed, at 314 Pearl Street. The latter partner was
Mrs. Bradhurst's cousin, being a son of that Mrs. Watkins who, as
already told, had formerly sought the advice of Colonel Burr, her
niece's — Mrs. Prevost's — second husband, on the recommendation of
General Maunsell. Samuel Watkins had an elder brother, Charles,
and a younger brother, John Maunsell Watkins,' and his sisters were
Mrs. James Beekman and Mrs. Dunkin.'' Several of these, together
with Mrs. Bradhurst, and their cousins, the Moores, and some of
General Maunsell's own family — the Maunsells of Limerick — became
eventually the heirs of their aunt, Mrs. Maunsell.

John Broadhurst of Foston Hall and Henrietta

"Henrietta Mabel FitzGerald-de Ros (d. 22 December 1879), married on 24 October 1828 John Broadhurst of Foston Hall (d. 1861)" from wikipedia:

Lord Henry FitzGerald
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Lord Henry FitzGerald PC (Ire) (30 July 1761 – 9 July 1829) was the fourth son of the 1st Duke of Leinster and the Duchess of Leinster (née Lady Emily Lennox). A younger brother was the revolutionary Lord Edward FitzGerald.

[edit] Life

FitzGerald was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Kildare Borough between 1776 and 1783 and represented then Athy between 1790 and 1791. From 1790 to 1798, he sat in the Irish House of Commons for Dublin City. On 8 July 1806, he was appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland, and from 1807 until 1814, Lord Henry served in the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Kildare. He died on 9 July 1829.

[edit] Family

He married Charlotte Boyle Walsingham on 3 August 1791. In 1806, he became Baron de Ros jure uxoris when its abeyance was settled in her favor.[citation needed] Together they lived at Boyle Farm, Thames Ditton. The couple had twelve children:

Captain John Broadhurst, 1704 Rent Rolls for Accomack, Virginia

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.

BRODHURST OR BROADHURST FAMILY (5 th S.
ix. 8.) The name Broadhurst is a well-known one
at Congleton, in the county of Chester, and has

been so for many years. Congleton is close on the
borders of Staffordshire, but whether the Broad-
hurst family came from that shire to Congleton I
cannot say. I should rather incline to the belief
that it was an old Cheshire family. The name
would be found constantly occurring in the muni-
cipal records of that ancient borough ; and it may
be worth noting additionally that few towns in
England possess such an excellent and entire col-
lection of them as Congleton does. In 1875 Mr.
Earwaker collected and had bound up in nine
large volumes, for the Corporation, the ancient
charters and records of that borough, and it is
needless to say that his care was only equalled by
his zeal. JOHN PICKFORD, M.A.

Picture of the Old Chapel House in Foston

2008-07-08T11:15:00.000-07:00

Sited along the old Liverpool to London road (now A511) in Foston. The (former) chapel was added to the existing house in 1812. An older (17th century?) building was demolished to make room for the chapel.
Foston is recorded in the Doomesday book as Farulveston

Marriage Certificate of William Broadhurst and Sarah Tagg from 1756

2008-07-07T11:54:00.000-07:00

Well, I was able to obtain a copy of the 1756 marriage certificate of William Broadhurst and Sarah Tagg from July 12, 1756. On the top of the document it looks like it says 1736 but that must be simply the script of the documenter. As you can see in this previous post, it in fact took place in 1756. As you can see HERE, it looks as though the words "Bachelor" and "Spinster" were used a lot on marriage certificates and placed in the parish section. The certificate was mailed to me by the City of Westminster archives center from records kept by the St. George, Hanover Square parish register.

Anthony Broadhurst marries in Quorndon in 1611

2008-06-19T14:06:00.000-07:00

The following is from the Quorndon Parish marriage records from 1576-1625.

Anthony Broadhurst & Margaret Rawlin, of Woodhouse June 19, 1611

LINK

Just a note: In a previous post I had found an Anthony Broadhurst who had died on February 10, 1849 at the age of 81, which would put his birth date in either 1768 or 1767.

His father was stated as being William Broadhurst, who died on May 10, 1807 at the age of 74, which would make his birth year 1733 or 1732.

There was also another Anthony Broadhurst who died on April 11, 1851 at the age of 36.

William Broadhurst signs mortgage for 216 acres in Licolnshire in 1821

2008-06-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

This was a listing at one time on ebay for a Deed in Lincolnshire that a William Broadhurst signed for 216 acres on July 9, 1821.

Old English hand written Mortgage deed dated 9th July 1821 (executed in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Fourth - Prime Minister at the time - Robert Banks Jenkinson, Earl of Liverpool) and made between William Hooker, the Mortgagor of the one part and William Broadhurst, the Mortgagee of the other part to secure the sum of £16,000 over some 216 (or more) acres of land situate in Lincolnshire. The Mortgage deed consists of 2 pages and a backsheet. It measures 30" x 25" and its weight is approx. 144 grammes. For its age it is in excellent condition. The back sheet is a little stained due to storage and it is slightly thin on one of its folds. It has been stored in the same Safe for over 20 years. An ideal piece of English history for collectors of old hand written documents. The signature and the wax seal appears to be in the same condition as if it had been signed and sealed only yesterday, not nearly 200 years ago. The 2 original Revenue stamps (sealed and impressed on the front of the 2 pages with the original black stamps on the back) are again near perfect.

The Broadhursts at Rivington circa 1277

2008-06-19T10:15:00.000-07:00

RIVINGTON HALL is said to have been originally a wood and plaster building in the form of a quadrangle, inclosing in its centre a square court and approached by an open gateway. (fn. 63) No part of this timber structure, however, remains, though the quadrangular plan is still retained with an open side on the east. The house seems to have been partly rebuilt in stone at the end of the 17th, or beginning of the 18th century, though it is possible that the timber building did not extend to more than one portion of the whole. The north wing of the present building is of stone and bears on the lower parts of the wall to the courtyard, which has several built up low mullioned windows, a stone with the date 1700 and initials WBM [William Breres and his wife Martha (Gill)], while over a doorway on the west side of the court are the initials W B (William Breres) and the date 1694. The upper parts of both these wings have been rebuilt in stone in later times. The greater part of the house was pulled down in 1774 by Robert Andrews, who built the present west front, a substantial two-story structure, in red brick with a pediment. The date of erection and the initials of Robert Andrews are on the spout heads. The south wing is a later 19th-century addition also in brick. On the stable buildings to the east of the house are two door heads, one dated 1713 with the initials WBMI (William and Martha Breres and their son John), and the other 1732 with the initials IAA (John Andrews and Abigail Crookes his wife).

On the north-east of the hall is a very fine old barn 105 ft. 8 in. in length, divided into seven bays by six pairs of massive crucks standing on stone bases, varying in size from 10 in. to 15 in. by 18 in. to 20 in. The width of the main span is 25 ft. 6 in., but 'aisles' have been added in a recent restoration making the total width of the building at present 57 ft. 6 in. The timbers are now wholly exposed, new exterior stone walls having been erected during the restoration, porches added in the north and south sides, and the whole re-roofed with stone slates. The barn is now used as a place of refreshment in connexion with Lever Park.

The Hospitallers had lands in Rivington. (fn. 64)

Among the families occurring in the early deeds and pleadings are those of Rivington, (fn. 65) Broadhurst, (fn. 66) Knoll, (fn. 67) Gamelsley, (fn. 68) and Unton. (fn. 69) The only freeholder named in 1600 was Robert Pilkington, who was a justice of the peace, (fn. 70) but other names occur in the inquisitions, (fn. 71) and several are described as yeomen in the Protestation List of 1641–2. (fn. 72) From the returns of the hearth tax of 1663 it appears that the hall, the largest house, had only four hearths; there were three houses with three hearths, and seven with two. (fn. 73)

The Broadhurst estate is probably the eighth part of the manor subsequently held by the Shaw family; Irvine, Rivington, 5, 22. Robert de Broadhurst in 1277 claimed common of pasture in Rivington against Robert del Knoll; Assize R. 1238, m. 34d. Roger de Broadhurst in 1279 complained that Richard de Heywood and others had broken into his house at Rivington; De Banco R. 30, m. 84 d. Roger son of Roger de Broadhurst took action in 1301 against Roger de Broadhurst and others, concerning messuages, &c, in Rivington; but the case was deferred through an error in the writ due to a blunder by the scribe; Assize R. 419, m. 9. In the following year Roger de Broadhurst unsuccessfully claimed 80 acres of moor and pasture in Rivington and 13s. 4d. rent against Richard de Pilkington, Adam de Heywood, and others; Assize R. 418, m. 2. Roger was again a plaintiff in 1313, respecting land he had demised to Richard de Hulton for a term; De Banco R. 201, m. 64 d.
William de Broadhurst contributed to the subsidy in 1332; Excb. Lay Subs. (Rec. Soc. Lanes, and Ches.), 31; he was a defendant in 1347; Assize R. 1435, m. 18. It appears that William was a son of Roger de Broadhurst; in 1327 a settlement of his estates was made on William and his wife Ellen, with remainder to Richard de Hulton; Towneley MS. GG, no. 1663. From a document cited in the text it appears that Richard de Hulton was already in possession of an eighth part of the manor. This deed may therefore refer to a part of his estate lying in the Hulton lordship. The surrender of lands to Alexander de Pilkington, already quoted (GG, no. 1704), may have preceded the grant by Pilkington to Hulton. The heir of Roger Broadhurst, however, paid a chief rent of 3d. to the Pilkingtons in 1610.
From a suit in 1506 it appears that a William Broadhurst in 1390 settled his lands on his daughter Ellen and her issue by Robert son of Thomas Bradshaw, their descendants being the plaintiffs Robert Banastre and Hugh Eccleston. Ellen, however, had another husband, Richard Bulhagh, and another settlement was made by her father, in virtue of which John Shaw held the estate in 1506. There had been an arbitration about the succession in 1440; Duchy Plead. (Rec. Soc. Lancs, and Ches.), i, 33–6.

David John Broadhurst as an Eagle Scout circa 1921

2008-06-11T12:06:00.000-07:00

Photo circa 1921 of two Americus, Georgia Eagle Scouts. David John Broadhurst is on the left. The scout on the right is unidentified.

David John Broadhurst, uncle of Carter Broadhurst (Troop 21 Eagle Scout # 64) earned his eagle rank on March 15th, 1921. He is wearing what looks like troop number ‘1’ on his collar. At this time it would have been troop 1 of Nochaway Council based in Albany or even what we believe to have been a council based in Americus in the early 1920s named Aumuckalee. Aumuckalee merged into Nochaway Council in the early 1920s after only a few years of operation.

The unknown scout (right) might be David Carter’s older brother, Roland Sloan Broadhurst Jr., but the National Eagle Scout database does not have that name as an Eagle Scout.

Smithfield, NC Broadhursts & "Holy Blood"?

2007-08-26T13:09:00.000-07:00

Much speculation has abounded in recent years around the so called 'holy blood line' first reported on in the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The line preportedly began with a child born to Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Soon after the crucifixion Mary fled to France where the line was carried by the Frankish King Merovech and the subsequent Merovingian dynasty. Today the most 'sacred' or pure branches of the line (ie those with the most male descendents) are said to survive in Europe under secret society protection.
