John Sledge - I do not believe John Sledge is part of this Maddox line from Maryland nor are the descendants of Samuel Maddox of St Marys MD.

Hello, I'm Byron Maddox a Kentucky descendant of one of the two major Maddox lines that arrived from St Marys and St Charles counties Maryland shortly before 1800. For a time I had widely published this branch ws related to Samuel Maddox b 1638 of Scethrog,Breconshire Wales. There's been a lot of study of this line and it's well researched tho someone has made some changes of mostly opinion that need further validation. Another line more likely is progenitor Cornelius Maddocke b abt 1660 m Mary Smallwood.

Sledge is right out of the blue....and does not carry even the Maddox surname. I don't intend to modify this Geni profile; I would simply invite you to either Ancestry or Family Search and a good place to point first is Hezekiah Maddox b 1777 in St Marys MD. Look forwards and backwards from there. Enjoy It would be great if we could do some DNA validation if you're interested.
