John Broddy was a soldier of the American Revolution and witnessed the Battle of King's Mountain. His service was documented by Dr. Bobby Gilmer Moss in his book, "The Patriots at King's Mountain". Dr. Moss wrote:
"John Broddy, a black servant, was under Col. Campbell in the battle at Kings Mountain. Although he did not bear arms, he rode to within two hundred yards of the fighting to observe the action. Draper, pp.267-68, 583."
The actual burial site for John Broddy has been lost to history. We have placed a Memorial Stone in his honor in the Cantrell Gilliand Memorial Garden. May this memorial serve as an expression of the gratitude we owe John Broddy for helping to build a new country: our America.
