WILLIAM W. MADDOX
William W. Maddox was born in 1787 in Virginia according to the Tremble County Kentucky 1850 Census. . His father was Daniel Maddox but his mother is still unknown. He was listed on the Tax list of Kentucky in 1812 but with no property. He married Betsy (Elizabeth) Moreland about 1815.
William is on the 1830 Oldham County Census. We will add details as we learn them.
Census records of Tremble County 1840 list William Maddox as head of house hold with 1 male < 5, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 1 male 50-60 and 1 female <5, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 40-50. The 1850 census states that William was a farmer 63 years old, born in Virginia, Eliza Maddox age 52 was also born in Virginia, George age19 was born in Kentucky and Mary (Martha?) age11 was born in Kentucky. I don't have the 1820 or 1830 Census records.

There was a family story about how this family floated down the Ohio River with about five children and came ashore at Milton Kentucky. We know William had been raised in this area and the story is not of their migration to Kentucky. It is possible that William went to Indiana with his father and returned after a few years. To get across the Ohio they would have had to "float across the Ohio River".
William died June 18, 1855 in Trimble county, Kentucky.
