Cornelius Broadwater, the ancestor of the Broadwater family of western Maryland, came to America sometime prior to the Revolutionary War. His grandson Amos Broadwater, Sr., wrote of him: "He emigrated from England, but in what town or locality he was born, I do not know. He married and settled in Loudoun County, Va. He married Miss Mary Piper, who emigrated from England likewise. They had eight children ... all whom were born in Loudoun Co. Va., about six miles below Leesburg near Carter's mill."
Cornelius reportedly died in Loudoun County in 1804. Within several years, Mary and six of her children left Virginia and settled in the wilds of western Maryland.
