The information on this page was supplied by R & J Alonzo of Riverside, California. They discovered this information in boxes of items that may have come from an estate sale. They are not related to the Maddox Family Tree, however, knowing that this information was vital to a Maddox researcher, they found us on the web and forwarded the information to us. The information is in the possession of the webmaster. It includes handwritten entries from a family Bible, (No bible, just the loose pages) There is also a letter of condolence from the United Spanish War Veterans association, addressed to Amanda E. Maddox, wife of George H. Maddox, who was an honorary member. Also included in this information from the Alozo's are pages from the Sutton Family Bible. It is my belief that this information originally belonged to George Hathaway Maddox, son of Silas. George married Wanda SUTTON.
