Our Story

 

Bob's mother is a Maddox and his 4th great-grandfather is Mathew Maddox, a Revolutionary War soldier. Turns out we've been to the SC Battlefield where Mathew was wounded. The Maddox Cemetery is in Blennerhasset. Calling the number on the internet sign, Bob talked to a trustee who apparently is Bob's cousin! A few phone calls later, we're parked in the drive way of his friend who took us into the woods to the graveyard. Family history is exciting!

January 2021

Pictures are Bob's mother, Bob's grandfather and Bob's great grandmother (all Maddox).

These are pages I made in the early part of the century (before blogging) when we visited the cemeteries where some of the later Maddox relatives are buried:

Emma Chapel Cemetery
(between Liberty and Paradise, WV)
 
 
Grasslick Cemetery
(Jackson County, WV)
