Notes for William Broadway:


William Broadway’s wife was Frances Card of Gillingham, daughter of John
Card, Yeoman, and Mary his wife. Frances was baptised in 1711 and John
died in December 1713, leaving a will proved in 1715. John was the son of
the Thomas Card, a butcher of Gillingham, who left an inventory in 1687,
and brother of Thomas Card who left a will in 1722. The Protestation
Returns of 1641/42 list two Thomas Cards living in Gillingham - possibly
John's Father and Grandfather? The Hearth Tax Returns (1662-64) show a
John Card, a Thomas Card Junior and a Thomas Card Senior (a pauper) were
paying tax. Barbara Kerr writes in a chapter of "Bound to the Soil"
concerning the history of Gillingham that:
"After the Grosvenors and the Matthews family came the lesser Gentry like
the Cards and the Bells whose fortunes were from the land" (pg.187)
