We’re happy to announce that we’ve published the story of Edward Maddox (d. 1694) in the Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Vol. 7, Number 4. The article explains in detail the life of Edward — a planter, justice of the peace, wilderness doctor and sometime bounty hunter in the Maryland and Virginia colonies. The article corrects numerous misinterpretations of the records of his life, unites his previously disconnected records from England, Virginia and Maryland, offers historical context for his decisions, and supplies the best evidence yet for his descendants.
We’re indebted to Barbara Vines Little for her extraordinary effort as editor of the magazine. Her attention to detail guaranteed the accuracy of our article.

Hi Professor Maddox, hoping that you might contact me regarding our shared DNA.
Hi Bob. I’d love to learn more.
I wish to prove that John Wilkes Booth did not kill Abraham Lincoln and that the Maddox story on this site is relevant . Does anyone on this site still have relevant information about Booth
Hi Dennis. We’ve never been able to corroborate the story. It was a family legend, carried forward most recently by John Napoleon Maddox. He spoke of an uncle who held Booth’s horse after the assassination, but there are no details of the uncle’s identity.
