"Daniel Brodhead was the ancestor of those who bear the name in
the United States. He was born in Yorkshire, England and member
of Governor Markham's Privy Council. The present Secretary of
the Navy is a descendant in the seventh generation. The
Secretary's father, grandfather, great-grandfather,
great-great-grandfather, great-great-great-grandfather and
great-great-great-great grandfather each in his turn have worn
the judicial ermine, was a captain of grenadiers, and a royalist
in the reighn of King Charles 2nd (Second) by whom he was
ordered to join the expedition under Col. Nichols, which
captured New Netherlands (New York) from the Dutch 1664.
He settled in Ulster County, New York, was commander-in-chief of
the militia forces at Kingstown in 1665 and died in 1670. By his
wife Ann TYE, he had three sons, Daniel, Charles and Richard."

"Daniel Brodhead, the founder of the family in America, was a
captain in the English grenadiers, and came to the new world in
the reign of King Charles II with the expedition of Colonel
Richard Nicolls, which effected the capture of New York (then
called New Amsterdam) from the Dutch, in 1664. The Dutch
dependencies on the Hudson river, including Esopus, Schenectady
and Fort Orange (now Albany), were also surrendered to the
British, and Captain Daniel Brodhead was assigned with his
company of grenadiers to maintain peace and order at Esopus,
with the title of "Captain-General of the Esopus", as the Dutch
inhabitants were then called. He married Ann TYE, but it is not
positively known whether she accompanied him on the expedition
to America, or whether she subsequently joined him in Esopus.
Among their several children were three sons - Daniel, Charles
and Richard.
The first named, Daniel, named for himself, was born in 1661,
and died July 24, 1690. Charles, born in 1663, was probably
named in honor of the King of England, while Richard (born in
1666, died in 1758), was named for the commander of the
expedition, and these names continue in the family to the
present.
Captain Brodhead, it appears, made his headquarters at
Marbletown, a village near the Hudson, where he dispensed
justice with a fair and imparial hand to his Dutch neighbors as
well as his English followers. He died July 14, 1667. His widow,
who survived him for many years, built in 1697 a residence for
herself and children, and it remained in possession of her
descendants until 1890. Owing to the long retention of the
property in the family a large number of deeds and papers were
treasured there, and were recently secured by Lucas Brodhead, of
Spring Station, Kentucky, who has had many of them copied and
photographed and thus distributed among the members of the
family…"

Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia. Article
XVIII.
"Besides visiting the old court-house and Clerk's Office and
jail (the latter without an inmate) of Warwick county, I went to
the ancient seat of the Coles and Digges, at Denbigh, on James
River, just opposite to Nutmeg Quarter, on Mulberry Island, the
island reaching down to this place and only separated from it by
Warwick River. The ancient house at Denbigh is no more, except
one wing of it, which forms a part of the habitation of the
present owner, Mr. Young, a descendant of one of the old
Episcopal families of Denbigh parish. The settlement at Denbigh
was formerly the seat of the Coles and Digges, who intermarried.
The Hon. Edward Digges, no doubt, at one time lived at this
place and owned part of Mulberry Island, which may have received
its name from the trees which furnished food for the worms which
were used in the raising of silk, of which operation Mr. Digges
was the great patron, as appears from history and his tombstone.
There is still handed down, in the family residing there, a ball
of the raw material, made at an early period, a portion of which
was presented to me. Within a few miles of Denbigh farm is one
of the ancient seats of the Cary family, and, at the same
distance, old Denbigh Church. I paid a visit to the latter, and
found it in a much better condition than I could have expected.
It is in the parish called Upper Denbigh, there being formerly
one called Lower Denbigh. The present building was erected one
hundred and ten years since; and the weatherboarding was so well
done, and was of such excellent material, that it is still good.
The foundation of an older one is plainly to be traced a short
distance behind it, in the woods which come up to the present
church, which is only a few yards from the main Warwick road
leading up and down the country. There is only one large
tombstone there, on which is the following inscription:--
"Mary Harrison, daughter of the Honble Cole Digges, of his
Majesty's Council, wife of Nathaniel Harrison, of Prince George
county, died November 12th, 1744, in her 27th year. She so
discharged the several duties of a wife, mother, daughter, and
neighbour, that her relations and acquaintances might justly
esteem their loss insupportable, was it not chastened with the
remembrance that every virtue which adds weight to their loss
augments her reward."
