From the Family Manuscript

• Samuel died in 1684 in St. Marys County, Maryland and it is believed that he is buried at the Christ Church located in Chaptico, St. Marys County, Maryland. No actual record of his burial has been located and no grave marker or stone has been located. Inside of this church is a very large stained glass leaded window. On this window is the following: To the Glory and Honor of God In Memoriam Samuel Maddox 1666 Samuel Maddox and Lydia Turner his wife 1798 Samuel Maddox and Sarah Fowler his wife 1842 By Thomas Maddox—Samuel Maddox and Thomas J. C. Maddox 1882. The first Samuel Maddox is Samuel (Madoc) Maddox and this window was prepared by Thomas, Samuel and Thomas J. C. Maddox in 1882. So, after seeing the connection to this church we believe that Samuel (Madoc) Maddox is more than likely buried there. During the War of 1812 the British camped in the graveyard next to the church, built their fires on top of the graves, and committed outrages acts to the church, but the British were driven from America once again in failure in their attempt to re-gain control of the American lands they lost after the American Revolutionary War.
