James M. Broom

James Madison Broom (1776 – January 15, 1850) was an American lawyer and politician from Wilmington, in New Castle County, Delaware. He was a member of the Federalist Party, who served as U. S. Representative from Delaware.

Broom's father was Delaware politician Jacob Broom, and his son, also named Jacob Broom, was a Congressman from Pennsylvania. James was born near Wilmington, Delaware in 1776 and graduated from Princeton College in 1794. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1801 and practiced in New Castle, Wilmington, and Baltimore, Maryland.

Broom was elected as a Federalist to the Ninth and Tenth Congresses and served from March 4, 1805, until his resignation in 1807, before the assembling of the Tenth Congress. He moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1819 and resumed the practice of law. He was a member of the Pennsylvania house of representatives in 1824. He died in Philadelphia on January 15, 1850 and was buried in St. Mary’s Churchyard in Hamilton Village (now a part of Philadelphia), Pennsylvania.
