Moses Broadwell married his cousin, Jane Broadwell. They moved to the Springfield Illinois area, and raised a large family there. One of their sons, John B. Broadwell, developed an Inn which served as a stage-coach stop, just west of Springfield, and a small settlement developed there named Clayville, after Henry Clay. (The Broadwells were heavily involved in the Whig party at the time!)

They are fairly well chronicled in John Carroll Power's "History of Early Settlers of Sangamon County, ILL.", (1876).

They are also the subject of the book "The Broadwells of Clayville and their Roots", which was published by the Clayville Rural Life Center & Museum in 1981. The Clayville Rural Life Center & Museum is no longer in existence. All that is left is a few buildings from the era of the stage-coach stop, and an historical marker noting it's significance.
