Identified as Mary Margret Broadwater in death record of daughter Eva Elizabeth, but as Mary Magdalene Broadwater in 
death record of son George Hiram and in her own death record.  Her death record, for which son Geoge was informant, 
states her parents as Peter Broadwater and ___ Taylor.  Her marriage record gives her parents as Peter Broadwater and 
Lovia.  Ages of Peter Broadwater and Hannah Taylor eliminate them.  Unclear if Lovia/Lovisa's maiden name is actually 
Taylor.
