One Broughton history lists his middle name as Nathaniel but unable to verify.
From Frances Potter Neal's history of the Broughton family:
"Edward was a planter and stock raiser, had vast acres in Santee River Swamp which was subject to overflow. [About] 1830 with slave labor he built a mound in the swamp for cattle when overflow came — was well above flood stage and was never covered with water until 1916. That part of estate was sold to Brooklyn Cooperage Company. Later was taken in the Cooper Santee Resort Project."
