Born at Cascade Plantation in Rockingham Co. Son of Robert and Nancy Wilson Brodnax. Husband of Susan Mary Ruffin Brodnax, who had died at the home of her father-in-law, Robert. A record has been seen stating that he was buried at Saint Matthews Episcopal Church in Hillsborough, but obviously he was taken to his old family home, Cascade Plantation (aka Willow Oaks) in Rockingham Co., as his obituary states.

He was a Major in Ransom's Brigade (CSA), and had graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1841. He had been a real estate dealer in Orange Co. before his death.
