General Notes: Husband - John Broadfoot


The Broadfoot family came to Pennsylvania early in the 1800s, and they found a home in its northwestern corner. The family name is chiefly known and localized in Wigtonshire, though frequently met with in other parts of Scotland. The Broadfoots were a numerous family that came from a distinguished Scotch ancestry, of which they were very proud.

John Broadfoot came from Oil creek. He was a Scotchman, one of the genuine, honest, God fearing men that are produced in the land of oat meal, amid the mountains and lakes of old Scotia. He came first to build Colonel McDowell's house, then settled down himself as a citizen, and never lacked employment as a carpenter. He became one of the first elders in the Pres­byterian church.
