The paragraphs below are from Page 79 of the book "Us Maddys" (1950, by Olive Maddy), but edited to exclude information (shown by 4 dots) that wasn't true or a family legend with no basis. The book doesn't mention that William was a slave owner, or that he came to Greenbrier Co. in 1782 (which is where he married in 1783), and much more.
[Note: Everything is Olive's writing, except the bolded "sic" info and 4 dots.]
WILIAM MADDY, oldest child of James the First and Ann Morris Maddy [sic, first to marry doesn't equate to oldest child!], was born in Orange Co., VA, near the present town of Somerset in 1760 [sic, no proof of when/where he was born]. Married Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and Barbara (Miller) Mann, on Feb. 25, 1783, date also given 1785 [sic, 1785 is a transcription error]. See records at Lewisburg and Union, Greenbrier and Monroe counties in West Virginia. William was much interested in civic affairs, was a Captain in the Virginia Militia [sic, Greenbrier Co. militia only].... After the war he made many real estate deals, owning many large tracts of land. A few of these are on record in Virginia and West Virginia, although it was all Virginia, in that day, for instance, 385 acres on Indian Creek, adjoining Joseph Mayo [sic, that 1786 deed has Joseph Maze; his surname is Mays on some records], 301 acres on Indian Creek bought in 1786 [sic, deed has 321 acres], 421 acres on Laurel Creek, a branch of Indian Creek, in 1791, 380 acres on Indian Creek in 1799, and many others. He is mentioned in committees for various community affairs as of road locations, and settlements of neighborhood disputes, etc.
In 1806, the William Maddy family moved to Tennessee, Claiborne Co. [sic, year likely 1807-1808 since he paid taxes in Monroe Co., VA in 1807 but not in 1808; place could be Roane Co., TN].... He and his wife died in Tennessee [sic, no proof where William died]. A number of his children had moved to southern Illinois, and others made their homes in more distant parts of the U. S., Georgia, Utah, Montana, Idaho, California, and others.
