Nancy Maddox
1867 ~ aft.1919

    Nancy Maddox was born in 1867 in Pendleton Co., KY.  Her full name was Nancy America.  She was named after her paternal grandmother, Nancy Brandenburg Maddox, and her maternal grandmother, Anna America Ducker.  They called her Nannie.

     In 1872, her father moved the family to Hamilton Co., IL.  While there, she met James Cook.  Interestingly, in 1881, Nancy's future father-in-law died, and his widow Mary quit-claimed 40 acres to Nancy's father, Sanford, for $1.  I wonder what the situation was.

     Nancy and James Cook married around 1885.  They apparently moved to Stoddard Co., MO, when her two brothers ~ Grant and James Arthur ~ did.  In the 1900 census, they are living either with or next door to Grant on the west end of New Lisbon Township.  All four of her children had been born by then.

     I have been unable to find her after 1919 when her father died.
