Maddox Cemetery
History
1
Allison Maddox (ca. 1760-1843), a veteran of the Revolutionary War from Charles County, Maryland, purchased this property in 1810 from James E. Heath. The Maddox family cemetery, situated well inside the tract, is typical for a small farmstead of that period. Inscribed headstones date between 1826 and 1857, with the grave of Maddox's brother-in-law, Jesse Scott, being the earliest. The last inscribed tombstone marks Mrs. Ann Maddox's grave. Additional graves are marked with plain field stones. The Maddox family was known to have two or three slaves but their final resting place is uncertain. Robert G. Maddox, son of Allison and Ann, moved to Stafford County after selling this property to George Pitkin in 1859.
