I found the following info, however, there was a Mary Broughton (maiden name unknown) that was living in Randolph Co., AL up through the 1850 Census.Her husband's name is unknown, I think he passed prior to the 1830's, but it is believed Mary may have been Isaac Broughton's mother.
Issac Broughton and his wife R. Ann (Hilderbrand) listed in the 1850 census below, moved to LA and are buried at the Providence Cemetery in Lincoln Parish, LA - so I don't think the grave belonged to Issac Broughton (as suggested), altough it could be his mother, father, sibling, or possibly a child????
