  Notes	From Google search "Kidnapped John Broomall" JOHN BROOMHALL was born in England in 1726 and moved with his mother to near Bristol about 1739, where he was allegedly tricked into boarding a ship bound for North America. He was sold as an indentured servant for seven years to a Quaker named Paynter [probably SAMUEL PAINTER of Pennsbury Twp. Chester Co. PA]. He married in 1751 and settled in Chester County PA. The name of his wife is not known. Raised in the Church of England, he continued in that faith, as did two of his children, Thomas and James. His other two sons, John and Enos, became Quakers when they married Quaker girls in Kennett Monthly Meeting. WE have found only one clue as to the name of JOHN's wife. May 13 1775, ANN BROOMHALL was witness to the will of Rachel Pierce, widow, East Marlborough. since. JOHN lived in Pennsbury, then Kennett, and then (1767) East Marlborough Townships. Since a daughter would barely have been old enough in 1775 to be a witness Possible children of JOHN BROOMHALL are: ANN BROOMHALL, May 13 1775 Ann Broomhall, witness to will of Rachel Pierce, widow, East Marlborough- if not a wife could possibly be a daughter of John.-LYDIA BROOMHALL, who was married to WILLIAM KENNEY of Pennsbury on April 17. 1793 by Thomas W. Cheyney Esq. None of the other Broom(h)alls with unknown daughters are the right age to be her father. She was probably born abt. 1773.
