JAMES DANIEL MADDOX
b. 1842 SC
With speculated
grandfather and mother
(DNA Kit 10854)
Based on the
censuses of Kershaw Co., SC, 1850 census, James Daniel might have been the
grandson of Samuel & Lucy Maddox 2 houses away. Thomas, 15, and Nancy, 10, were six houses away and may have been
siblings or cousins of James. Four
houses away were Charles & Elizabeth Maddox who may have been James’ uncle
and aunt. The adults and children were
mostly scattered among other families. Were several fathers killed in the Mexican-American War? See below.
James’
descendant’s DNA is a near match to descendant of Elijah Maddox b. 1765 VA
(kits 21694 & 23985). Nine houses
away from James in the 1850 census of Kershaw Co., SC, was Isum Maddox, 50,
with possibly a dtr. and two grandchildren.
Elijah Maddox named a son Isham Fielding D. Maddox. At the other end of the county was Isaac
Maddox with wife Betsy, and dtrs.
Our Family
Bible states that James’ father “ went to the Revolution War and never came
back and nothing was ever learned of him or the family.” His father would have been b.c. 1820. I believe he went to the Mexican-American
War of 1846-48. Over 100,000 American
men served in this war. Was
he a mariner? Charleston Co. where
James was born was right on the ocean.
What does it mean “nothing was ever learned of…the family”? We have been unable to find them after 1850
until James D. was grown.
