      The following is from the Pioneer Families of Missouri book written in 1876, which is not always accurate:
      MADDOX, Sherwood Maddox, of Fauquier Co., VA., married ELIZABETH FERGUSON, and in 1795 they removed to Scott Co., KY. Their children were James, Jacob M., Sherwood, David, Larkin, Frances and Elizabeth. James and Jacob M. married and remained in KY. Sherwood married AMERICA M. JONES, and settled in Callaway Co., MO., in 1830. His children were Uriah, Wilson, David, Jacob, Irvin, Mary E., Catharine, Henry L., Larkin and Elizabeth. Larkin married JANE POWERS, of KY., and settled in Callaway Co. in 1825. They came to MO. in an ox cart, drawn by a yoke of oxen and a blind horse, and after they settled in Callaway Co. he and his wife used to ride the horse and one of the oxen to church, frequently going a distance of fifteen or twenty miles, and back home the same day. After the death of Mrs. Maddox, her husband married EMELINE BELCHER, of Case Co. He had 12 children by his 2 wives. Mr. Maddox was an outspoken southern sympathizer during the late war, and fearing that the government would confiscate a large body of land which he owned in Johnson county, he deeded it to a friend to hold for him until the troubles were all settled. The next day he was killed by an accident on the cars, and the friend to whom he had entrusted so much, endeavored to keep the land, but had to relinquish it after four years of litigation. Mr. Maddox was killed in the early part of 1865, about the close of the war. David and Elizabeth, brother and sister of Larkin Maddox, remained in KY. Uriah and Wilson died unmarried in Callaway Co. Jacob married LOUISA E. MORRIS. Irvin is a bachelor. Mary E. married SAMUEL HARRISON. Catharine married THOMAS HARRISON. Henry S. married NANCY MCINTIRE.

      There is a headstone in Old Auxvasse with the following:
      Sherwood Maddox, July 31, 1825 - Sept. 17, 1842, aged 17yrs 1mo 17d.
      I am not sure who he was a son of, but is probably part of this Maddox family, perhaps a nephew of this Sherwood? He is buried in same area with these Maddox, but not a son as far as I can tell.
