| Family History: |
William Broderick appears to have lived at Caplin Bay for a number of years in the early decades of the nineteenth century. The first mention of his name was in 1819, in relation to a civil suit initiated by Brien Cashin to recover wages allegedly owed him by Matthew Morry &Co. Mr. Broderick was obviously considered a respected and reliable person since he served as the foreman of a jury, and for a period of time he was a constable. Records suggest that he was an employee of Matthew Morry &Co., likely over several decades. |

It is presumed that William Broderick was Irish, but this presumption is not based on any recorded fact, but on the usual ethnicity of his surname in Newfoundland. It is likely he died between 1836 and 1840, since his name does not appear in the first surviving Voter's List of 1840. The property that he had occupied at Caplin Bay was sold in 1843, by Matthew Morry (II). It is not known if William was ever married. There is no evidence of any sons, nor is there any indication that there may have been any females in his family who could have married into other Caplin Bay families. |
