Thomas Broadstreet was married to Lieurana (Dunn?) Broadstreet.

From the History of Putnam County:

"Thomas Broadstreet was a pioneer of Washington Township, having settled there soon after the beginning of the present century. He removed to Putnam County about 1825,
settling in Marion Township upon the farm now owned by H. H. Dobbs. ... entered 80 acres of land and located in the wild woods. He first erected his little log cabin then began the work of clearing his land. He was a minister of the Missionary Baptist Church, always taking an active part in matters pertaining to the church".

Notes found on the Internet:

"Rev Thomas & Liuranna were also in Clark Co. & possibly Washington Co. In. as well as Jackson Co. before coming to Putnam Co. in 1826. He was a pioneer Baptist minister in Indiana. He helped form several churches in Putnam & Hendricks Co. He was a member of the White Lick Baptist Assoc. whose records are kept at Franklin College. The tombstones in the pioneer Broadstreet have been broken & the foundations I had the stones sat into while I was Township Trustee, have been lifted out of the ground. I do hope that there will be enough descendants to gather sometime & replace the stones in a proper way. I have a copy of the land record where he left 1/4 acre for a burial ground."
