MADDISON FAMILY



The Maddison family has proved to be a genealogical puzzle, based primarily on family lore and what little information can be gleaned from records in Massachusetts.  A research expedition is planned for Halifax, but it is feared that records were lost in the explosion at Halifax during the First World War.  A search of the Mormon Database has proved fruitless so far.

The spelling of the surname is a great help ­ ³Maddisons² are fewer and further between than ³Madisons².  As such, I¹ve made note of any genealogical tips that might connect later to the family.  For example, in the Arcadia Record of Saturday, 5 March 1836, were found these two tidbits:  ³Š died in London, Martin Maddison, aged 89.²  and ³Madison, M (Mr) married in 1826².  While it is clear that neither of these specifically apply to currently known members of the family, we may eventually find a link to them!

1. Mark1 MADDISON was born in somewhere in England, probably circa 1820-1825, based on the birth date of his namesake older son[1].  Mark¹s place of origin as England is derived from his son Mark R¹s. death certificate.  His identity as Mark R.¹s father is also confirmed by his son¹s Marriage Record[1,2].

Mark married Martha [surname not known], whose first name is only known from their son Mark¹s Marriage Record[2].

They had the following children:
	2	i.	Mark R.
		ii.	Thomas
