Denise if you need anything picked up from the courthouse, I can get, scan it, and send to you. Would be glad to help out. I bother them all the time for records and so far haven't had to pay anything since I live in the county. Just let me know.

Dear Sharon, This name can be found in many spelling variations! I have been so stuck on this line, of my mothers family. While they were in MO, the research was easy, as I live here, and they lived within 4 counties in MO of me, Morgan, Pettis, Cooper, and lastly Johnson where they died. They must have been fairly wealthy as they were very large landowners in Johnson. While they lived in Morgan co. MO, there was another George, too, by ages, may have also been the same George as in your county. *Are you pretty knowledgeable with land records? They get so confusing for me. My John Maddox was on the tax lists, so he must have owned land. I am interested in that. Maybe a copy of the title. Maybe it will tell me where he came from before he settled in Morgan co. KY. I don't know what these might tell you?? MORGAN CO Tax lists 1830 MATTOX JOHN Morgan County KY 069 West Liberty Town 20001-00001 Maddox, Jno Morgan 50 7-23-1834 L-2 l Fk Road Fk Maddox, Jno Morgan 50 7-23-1834 L-2 Ist I Fk Middle Fk Maddox, George Morgan 110 10- 4-1825 T M Fk Licking R Maddox, George Morgan 150 7- 4-1833 E-2 Licking R 1830 MATTOX GEORGE Morgan County KY 074 No Twp 11110001-1101001 1840 MATTOX JAMES Morgan County KY 315 No Township Listed221001-001001 *His wife was Mahalia or Mahala Gillmore. Mahalia and John were married on January 17, 1825 in Morgan county. She was supposed to be born in KY. He was supposed to be born in VA. A copy of their marriage record would be nice. If you reconize a ministers name on the record, and might know what church he ministered, that would help too. *I am curious about the George Maddox. I am curious, because he was old enough, it is possible that he may have been my Johns father. Can you see if there is record of a George Maddox will? If there is, and if he had a son listed as John, may I have a copy of the will? If it looks to you like George may have been his father, and if it isn't too much bother, then maybe *you can look on George's title of his land to see if it says where he may have came from. The only dates that I have that are possible to give you an idea of the time period, is the marriage in 1825, and George and John were both on the 1830 census. I need to look at earlier censuses there, but it isn't indexed, and I have to look page by page. Morgan wasn't established yet, so I have to look in Bath and Floyd counties. I am looking through them right now to see if I find any Maddox listed. I find no Maddox's listed in Bath Co. KY in 1820. But, page 9 in Bloomfield TWP wouldn't load. They could have possibly been on that page. I think I may have found them in 1820, Floyd County, Roll22 Book1 Image7 pg14 It is a George Maddox and has a son listed that would be about John's age, and further down on the same page, I see a William Gilmore and he has a daughter listed about the right age. I didn't get all through Floyd twn, was working on it today, but I think I found something here. John and family were supposed to be in Cooper co. MO by 1837. If they do charge you, make sure you tell me, so I can pay you back. And I can pay you for your bother! Just let me know. Thankyou so very much for your help!!
