John Brodhead (New Hampshire)

John Brodhead (October 5, 1770 - April 7, 1838) was a U.S. Representative from New Hampshire.

Born in Lower Smithfield, Pennsylvania, Brodhead attended the common schools and Stroudsburg (Pennsylvania) Academy. He studied theology and was ordained a minister. He was active in ministerial service for forty-four years. He moved in 1796 to New England, where he became supervisor of Methodist societies in the Connecticut Valley. He settled in Canaan, New Hampshire, in 1801, then moved to Newfields Village, Newmarket, New Hampshire, in 1809. He served as member of the New Hampshire Senate, 1817-1827, and officiated as chaplain of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1825.

Brodhead was elected as a Jacksonian to the Twenty-first and Twenty-second Congresses (March 4, 1829-March 3, 1833). He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1832 and resumed his ministerial duties. He died in Newfields, April 7, 1838, and was interred in Locust Cemetery.
