Michael Maddox (1789-1838), son of Daniel Maddox (1755 Lunenburg, VA - 1823 Jennings IN) and an unknown mother of Virginia, settled in Trimble County, Kentucky. Many of his relations are buried in the Moffett Cemetery located in Milton, Trimble, Kentucky.
His father, Daniel Maddox (1755-1823) was the son of Wilson Maddox and Jane Gwinn who migrated from Virginia to Kentucky in 1795 purchasing land first in Shelby County, Kentucky on Bullskin Creek. Daniel Maddox remarried in 1798 in Shelby County to Miss Nancy Willis. Daniel Maddox was the first deacon of Burks Branch Baptist Church of Shelby in 1801. By 1813, the Maddox family was living near Corn and Spring Creeks in what was then Gallatin County (later Trimble). Daniel Maddox also purchased land in Jennings County, Indiana but did not immediately move to that area.
The name of Daniel Maddox's first wife from Virginia, mother of Michael Maddox, is unknown though she bore five children for him. Nancy Willis and Daniel Maddox had an additional six children. Daniel passed away in Jennings County, Indiana in 1823 while Nancy Willis Maddox passed away in 1855 at the age of 80 years also buried Indiana.
