The last to live in the house of Samuel (Madoc) Maddox (a two-story wooden frame house on a stone foundation, since burned).

From the Family Manuscript

• The house that Samuel and his family lived in was a wooden frame style structure, two stories with a shed type porch on the back. The house was built on a stone foundation. The house is no longer there, just the rock foundation, the house burned several years ago. The last to live in the house was George William (Captain Willie) Maddox, born 21 June 1863, died 25 August 1947 and his wife, Lucy Virginia (Lancaster) Maddox, born 25 November 1868, died 22 February 1949. Both are buried in the cemetery at the Christ Church, Chaptico, St. Marys County, Maryland. We feel that Captain Willie was in our Maddox lineage, but to date his lineage is not known and his parents are not known to us. We do know that Thomas J. C. Maddox was Thomas John Claggett Maddox, born 12 December 1852 in St. Marys County, Maryland, he died 19 December 1885 in New Mexico, he was a surgeon in the U. S. Army, his father was James Thomas Notley Maddox, his father was Samuel Maddox, his father was Samuel Maddox and his parents were John Maddox and Mary (Dyson) Maddox. This Thomas J. C. Maddox was one of the names on the stained glass window in the Christ Church.
