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:
# Thomas of Godmersham, Esq., who died 1667;
# Robert (died 1673)

Still a little perplexed about this line of the family. Thomas (born Godmersham, Kent, ENGL, 1585) graduated from Cambridge in 1615 and suceeded his father as JP of Kent. Now the confusing part, next we see him, he is living in Henrico Co, VA, where he dies in 1658. His daughter, Mary Broadnax, born April 1620 in Henrico Co, VA(died April 1685 in ENGL), married John Knowles. Again, not sure if we have one or two. But, there was a John Knowles, who also graduated Cambridge, and was a minister in MA who came down to VA for a year, then was sent back . Went back to ENGL, and story varies as to when/if he came back to VA. Mary's siblings include Elizabeth, Henry, Martha, Robert, Susan, Thomas, William and John. Would welcome any info!
______________________________________________________________________________________
The ministers referred to were the Reverent William Thompson, a graduate
of Oxford, and the Reverend John Knowles, a graduate of Immanuel College, Cambridge.
However, Reverend John KNowles returned to Virginia some years later and
settled in Henrico County, adjoining Charles City County, and lived on an adjoining
plantation to Richard Ward.
(Valentine Papers, Vol. 2, page 619).
Henrico County records give proof of the fact the death of John Knowles
in Henrico, showing the settlement of his estate. (Vol. 1677-1692, page 4).
John Knowles' wife, named Mary, was the daughter of Thomas Broadnax
and Elizabeth Taylor (his second wife). Their daughter, Mary Knowles, married
Richard Pace, II, and they were the parents of eight children: five sons, Richard,
III, Thomas, John, George and James, and three daughters, Ann, Sarah, and Elizabeth.
As stated above the mother of these eight children was Mary, the daughter
of Thomas Broadnax and the wife of John Knowles. This requires some check on the
"Broadnax Family". Very little information is available.
The William and Mary Quarterly Magazine, Volume 14, pages 52-58, shows
that among the families of County Kent, in England, the Broadnax families held a
respected position. The following pedigree is taken from Berry's Kentish.
1. Robert Broadnax, under Henry V, married Alice Scoppe, and had Robert
of Hyde (Hythe), who died in 1487.
2. Robert Broadnax of Hyde married _______ Julian and had as issues:
John, Cecilius, and Margaret (who married John Horne).
3. John Broadnax married Margaret and had as issue: William of Bermuda,

4. William Broadnax married Agnes ________ and died in 1527. Their
