| Simeon Broadwell's Children |
To answer your questions-Sangamon is the name of the county.
Moses died at his home out in the country 1 mile east of Pleasant Plains and about what is now 14 miles west of Springfield on Highway 125.
Simeon died and is buried in Ohio. Volume 3SVC 9292 BRO " The Roots in Ohio and New Jersey." Simeon Broadwell was under age 21 when his parents died in early 1774. In August of that year, he selected Jonathan Styles to be his guardian. He was married at Morristown on January 8, 1778 to Rachel Lindsley, the sister of his brother Samuel's wife, Mary. Genealogists state that they had four children: Silas, Ephraim, Josiah and Lewis.
However, the Bill of Mortality for the years 1768 through 1806 shows that there were other children, as was probably the case in most of the Broadwell families, these children were given the names of deceased siblings. Jonathan died of small pox at age three in February, 1782. Mary, age 1, died suddenly in January 1791. Josia (Josiah?) died of dysentery at age 2 in August 1794. The next July (1795) another son was born and named Josiah. 10 yr. old Aron fell from a tree and died in July 1798. The next November, Jonathan died of inflammatory fever at age 16. He would have been born the year after the death of the first Jonathan. In addition to their own children, Simeon and Rachel may have reared Moses Broadwell after Simeon was appointed his guardian on January 13, 1779. Simeon and some of his family may have moved to Butler County, Ohio before 1806 when his name appeared on a tax list there as a land proprietor. However, his son Josiah did not go to Dayton until 1815.
Rachel Broadwell died at Dayton on July 6, 1826. Simeon died there in April or May the following year (1827), and was buried "probably in the old Presbyterian graveyard, and the remains were not removed when the cemetery was abandoned."
I have so much information on Moses - Clayville - family feuds - Lincoln was a family lawyer - inventory of Moses' possessions when he died - pictures of Clayville - the sign the DAR erected. Do you have all this? Are you interested in me sending you copies. Did you know Clayville rural life center is on the Rand McNally travel map - also the "Great Swamp" in New Jersey which Simeon owned at one time. I'm hoping to get to New Jersey this summer and do some more research.
