John Broom
The family sailed to America in 1849 on the ship Ashland.
The company records indicate that a John's traveling group consisted of five people. It was likely the five people living in his household in Iowa at the time of the 1850 federal census. Besides himself, these people were his wife, Hester, his two daughters, and his sister-in-law, Anna Maria Dunston.
