Lee went to Michigan at a early age. On his return to Monroe County, Dr. Maddy bought a tract of land from his brother Wilson Maddy. The Children were places in the homes of neighbors until there was a house erected on the Maddy Farm. Dr. William Maddy later started a nursery in which he grew apple trees.

Maddy & Mary Ann Parker Hello, I need some help with a family I am working on. Mary Ann Parker married William L. Maddy in Monroe county in 1874. I cannot find them after that in any census, although in 1926 I find a death record (WV death certificates online) for a Mary Ann Parker approximately the correct age. Unfortunately the record does not list her parents or a spouse (or deceased spouse). I found a Wilson Maddy and wife Mary with children in Monroe county during some of the censuses but determined this was not my Mary Ann Parker and William Maddy. If anyone out there has info on this Maddy family I would appreciate hearing from you!
