    John B Maddox 1867

    His wife's name was Laura Little. They were married 1886 in Franklin County Ill. (check out Illinois Marriages, 1851-1900) also 1880 Census Franklin County, Illinois will give you background on both.

    John and Laura Maddox lived in Arkansas County, Arkansas in 1900 and 1910 Census where their numerous Children were born, including your Ernest Maddox.

    Hope this helps. Laura Little was sister to William Franklin Little, my grandfather. The 1880 Federal Census in Franklin County, Illinois will show her living with her mother Francis and step-father last name Reed at age 13.

    Laura's father was Jesse Floyd Little from Franklin County, Illinois. He was a member of the 15th and 10th Illinois Cavalry during the civil war.
