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?
