Notes

  • George is always listed as George A Maddox in records.  A couple of genealogies appear to be reflecting family sources when they report his name as George Allen Maddox.

    George first married Hettie (Hester Duncan) Neal in Franklin County, Illinois.

    Illinois, Marriage Index, 1851-1900
    George A Maddox
    Spouse Name Hettie Neal
    Marriage 21 Nov 1877 Franklin County
    This record can be found at the County Court Records, Film # 1005304 - 1005310

    Hettie died in 1887 and is buried in Franklin County, Missouri.  He married Viola Bailey in 1888, and they had one daughter, Lula, in September 1890, born after they moved to Arkanasss.

    Viola died at childbirth or shortly thereafter, or they divorced, because George married Francis (Frances?) P Moore in Sherrill, Jeffrerson County, Arkansas.  This is the county where Pine Bluff is located.

    Marriage 31 Dec 1890 Jefferson County
    Marriage License Date 31 Dec 1890

    George's marriage to Fannie in December 1890 in Arkansas occurred 3 months after Lula's reported birth in Arkansas.  Lula is the only child listed in 1900 that was reported born in Arkansas.  The next three were born in Missouri.  This means that after lula's birth George and Fannie moved to Missiouri, where three more children were born before 1910.

    Maddox, Iva Dau W F  Oct 1896  3 Single MO IL IL

    Note that the oldest child is 20 and the wife is only 32.  This means that Fannie is not the mother of "Oscer" (Oscar), Orley and Okley.  They are sons of Hettie Neal.

    After Fannie's death, George married the widow Mary (Marie) Crow McClane in Stoddard County, Missouri in October 1902.

    The entry of only a number 4 on the number of this marriage must mean this is George's 4th marriage.  With the info in the 1900 census and Mary as the wife in 1910, we can account for three wives.

    The details here indicate the Mary's first married name was McClain, and her first husband was born in Illinois, like G A Maddox.  State of birth data, as well as their age, tells us that Georgia, John and Ollie are Bertha's children.

    We can also tell that both George and Mary were in Missouri when their spouses died and when they married.  George's two daughters Bertha and Iva were born in Missouri, as were Mary's two daughters and their next child together, Gerogia.  Between 1904 and 1907 they moved to Arkansas, where John and later Ollie was born.  George and his previous wife had been living in Arkansas for the birth of their daughter Lula in 1891, then moved to Missouri before the birth of Bertha in 1894.

    With this information I found Mary and her previous husband, James McClain, with their first daughter Cara (Carey in 1910), in Missouri, where they were enumerated in Richland Township of Stoddard County.
