Mary BRODNAX
(1610 - 10 Apr 1685)
Mary Brodnax
A genealogy of the Brodnax family is in the William and Mary Quarterly XIV, 52-59, 135-137. This genealogy is illustrated by a portrait of Gen. William H. Brodnax and cuts of an armorial seal used by him. The pedigree of Brodnax in Berry's 'Kent', page 126, shows Thomas Brodnax Esq. of Godmersham Kent, who died 1658 (and who was sixth in descent from Robert Brodnax living temp. Henry V) married Elizabeth Taylor and had issue: 1) Thomas of Godmersham, Esq., who died 1667; 2) Robert (died 1673)
comments
April 2014: it appears Mary (Brodnax) Knowles was the daughter of Thomas Brodnax (d 1658) & Elizabeth Taylor. She married John Knowler & their children included Capt John Knowles of Henrico, the father of Bethania Knowles.
