Hi Dianna, This might be of interest to you >From State Centennial History of the County of Ross, Ohio. Vol II reprint edition, a limited reprint of the 1902 edition, by Henry Holcomb Bennett, Editor. Compiled by Ross County Genealogical Society, Gateway Press, Inc. Baltimore 1981. This is page 576, your people are right after my Fred C. Mader...<grn> Nelson C. Maddux, veteran of the civil war and long prominent in the agricultural affairs of Deerfield township, is a descendant from one of the early settlers of Ross County. David and Elizabeth Maddux left their native state of Maryland during eh earlier portion of the eighteenth century and were among the first to locate in the vicinity of Clarksburg. Both lived to an advanced age and in the fullness of year's became tenants of the little cemetery near the village where repose the remains of so many pioneers of the past. They had a family of ten children, all now dead, their names being: Benjamin, Collins, Zacharish, william, Mitchell, John, smith, Samuel, Sarah (wife of William Norris), and Mary. Smith, the 7th of these children was born in Maryland8-2-1800, grew to manhood in Ross county and married Eleanor Norris. The latter, who was a daughter of Arnold Norris, a soldier of the Revolution, had recently come from Virginia with her parents. There were six children by this union: Harriet (deceased), William, John, and Angeline (deceased), Nelson C., and Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Bates of new Holland, Ohio. Nelson C. Maddux was born near Clarksburg, Ohio 12-18-1838, and when two years old had the misfortune to lose his father by death. After this event, his mother became an inmate of the home of her brother Zaachariah who assisted in rearing the children, and Nelson C. remained with hs uncle until he became of age. For a while thereafter he was engaged in farming, but this occupation was interrupted by the opening of the civil war and his enlistment in Company K, Eighty-ninth Dianna, this is where they page ends, sorry I don't have the whole article. I was recently at the cemetery they must be referring to near the Meth. church in Clarksburg, took a couple of general pictures which are not yet developed. Would you like copies? I did notice the names of Maddux. Do you have photos of any of the stones? I will be going again and get some if you would like. My aunt and uncle lived around the corner from there, Garrisons. Millie is now gone and Uncle Harold is very bad and in a nursing home. Used to spend lots of time in the summer with them. As a kid though, I didn't even remember the cemetery being there. Have been to that church several times with my cousins, who don't live in the area any longer. I was making my way back from Greenfield on a mission of finding some Mader's graves (no luck on the graves, large cemetery and I didn't have exact location, working on that for another trip), came home the back way, no freeway and went through Clarksburg. It's been years since I was there. Must go for now, Sandy Also I've sent marriages of Maddux, Madock, etc to both Ross & Pickaway, did you get those as well?
