Several Broadwells moved to Ohio late 1700s and early 1800s, some perhaps for land grants in exchange for their service in the Revolutionary War.
Simeon is likely buried in a Presbyterian cemetery that has since been abandoned, but his body was not moved.[1] Another source says he died in Butler County, Ohio. The National Archives list his military tombstone as being shipped to an address in Dayton (Montgomery County), Ohio. Cemetery is Woodland.[2] The current Woodland cemetery was only established in 1841. There are Broadwells buried there, but online search doesn't show anyone before 1841. FindAGrave has a picture of his tombstone.[3]
Simeon is apparently not in the list of patriots used to prove DAR membership, but is for the SAR. However, that information has been put behind a paywall.
