My GGrandfather was from Central Texas. Rusk. His name was Thomas Broadway, my Grandfather was Jess and my Dad was Charlie. The GGGrandfather spelled his name Braudaway, John and he was from Rusk. I have not been able to go back any further. My Grandfather Jess had a sister named Bessie, she was really his cousin whom his father raised. He raised her, her sister Lorene and brother Marivn.
