The grandfather, David Braddock, was probably a native of New Jersey, but emigrated to this county about 1842, where he resided a few years; thence removed to Nauvoo, Ill., where he died. Robert was married in the fall of 1843, and located at Crosswicks; thence at Ridgeville; thence back to Crosswicks and here at Waynesville he passed most of the balance of his life. Mr. Braddock was a tailor by trade, which business he followed for several years, but, during the last fifteen years of his life, he gave his attention to farming; he died at Crosswicks in February, 1880, aged 62 years; his wife is still living at the home place at Crosswicks. They had six children, four now surviving—Robert S., Rebecca Jane, Sarah Amanda and Charles.
