Hurley Jr., in "Maddox: A Southern Maryland Family," incorrectly identifies William Maddox's birthplace as St. Marys Co, MD. The correct birthplace, "near Sandy Hook in Culpepper Co VA, probably in what is now Rappahannock Co VA," was provided by Raymond A. Mann , a direct descendant, based on his grandmother's notes and other reliable information. Note (2) "Cemeteries of Grant District," p. 39, reports death date on headstone as Apr 30 1869. Note (3) Marriage date of Dec 26 1811 reported by Hurley in "Maddox: A Southern Maryland Family," p. 105. Note (4) Some researchers (e.g., Edward Couey) have birthdate as Dec 22 1790. Name Index
