OLLIE WESLEY MADDOX/MATTOX
With previous two
generations with father’s name unknown, earliest
b.c. 1835
This family usually spelled their name Mattox. The 1870 census of Campbell Co, GA,.
(Douglas Co. formed 1870 from Carroll & Campbell Cos.) was Judge Mattox, b.
1809 GA, with a large family. In the
1832 GA land lottery, he obtained land in Morgan Co., GA, not far from Douglas
and it’s parent counties. (Campbell
later merged with Fulton Co.) Was he
perhaps the next earlier generation of this line?
The 1900 census of Pike Co., GA (not far from Douglas
Co.), listed William W. Maddox b. Dec. 1861 GA, with wife Amanda J. b. May 1862
GA, and son Westley b. Apr. 1898 GA. In
1910 and 1920 Amanda said she was b. 1866 GA.
In 1910 and 1920 Ollie was b. 1898, and in 1930 b. 1897 AL. Ollie Wesley’s tombstone says he was b.
March 1897. Was William W. his father?
