Maid of Cane Creek Memories – Putnam Co., TN Memoirs of Margaret Arizona Allison Maddux
UCGA (Upper Cumberland Genealogical Association, Inc.) Vol. XVII, No. 3 – Fall, 1992 – pg. 91-96.
Copied by Lela B. Winfree, 28032 Lorraine, Warren, MI 48093 – October 1991. These are some of the records left by Margaret Arizona Allison. They include records written by S.M. McCaleb. She was a lifelong resident of Putnam County residing on Cane Creek, southeast of Baxter, and 1.25 miles due north of Ditty. Around 1900 she wrote several articles for local papers under the pen name “Maid of Cane Creek”. She married July 3, 1904, Louis Dow Maddux, son of Thomas Jefferson Maddux and Texas Vandorn Lowe. Dow and Margaret are buried in the Gentry Cemetery near where they lived on Cane Creek.
My Recollection – April 6, 1952
Pa first married Mary Lowe, called Polly, a daughter of Quinton Lowe, and a sister of Alfred Lowe. She died leaving the following children: Laura Frances; Eliza Ann; George Alexander; James LaFayette, he was called Fate; Joseph Anderson; and Franklin Pierce Allison. He then married Catherine McCaleb a daughter of Capt. S.M. McCaleb, and had a son William Earl who died when about nine months old, and then me, Margaret Arizona Allison, then a boy who was born dead. Laura died when 18 years of age. Eliza married Taylor Maxwell and went to Texas and lived there several years when she took T.B. and they came back and she lived 4 or 5 months. They never had any children. Fate died in 1907. He never married. George married Tennie Crawford, Joe married Avannah Mitchell, Pierce married Ura Gentry. I am the only one of the family living now, October 18, 1962. Ura is the only sister in law living. And the brother in laws have been dead several years ago. Note: I later remember pa had a uncle Byrd Rhea who lied at Nashville....
