Individual Note: Asa Maddox was born about 1803 in KY to Daniel and Nancy Maddox. They were probably still in Shelby County, KY. Soon after settling in Jennings County, IN, Asa married Delilah Butler on 4/27/1823. Their marriage was by Achilles Vawter, JP. Delilah was born 8/22/1806 to Thomas and Sally Butler in Kentucky. In a list of early landowners of Jennings County, IN, Asa listed as owner of 2 parcels of land and also as Maddox Heir. They were on 1830 and 1840 census. 1850 finds them with Wilson Madox in Campbell Twp. #1449. An older woman in household. It may be Delilah's mother as Nancy shows up in a daughter's home in adjoining Ripley County Asa died in July of 1855. His mother had died earlier (2/1855). Both are buried in an overgrown cemetery called Wilsons Creek and Read Cemetery. The stones are still there but Asa's is broken in half. It appears that both Asa and brother Samuel died rather young. Asa and Delilah had 11 children. The 1860 census finds Delilah in Montgomery County, Illinois. 8 of the children were listed with her. The oldest, Preston had his own household. They were living in Walshvile Township. By the time the Civil War started they probably were thinking of new areas. 3 sons of Delilah joined the Union Army. Maddox cousins and Butler cousins joined. In Feb of 1864 son Woodford was home on leave from the army. (The whole unit went home. Probably the only time). In Oct of 1864 Delilah sold her land. She moved to the next county where daughter Mary Emma lived. In early 1865 when John joined the army he gave his address as Macoupin County Just who Delilah moved with is unknown but in 1875 she was living in Kansas with her daughter Martha in Wabaunsee County, Kan. In 1880 she in home of Woodford in Shawnee County,Kan. She must have moved with son Thomas H. or Preston into Okla. She died on 12/4/1893 in Lincoln County, OK. She is buried in Osage Cemetery near Agra, OK. Probably one of the first buried there. A nice stone in well kept cemetery and she is next to Preston and Thomas Maddox.

Note for: Eliza Jane Maddox, 16 SEP 1828 - 29 AUG 1905

Alias: Eliza /Boyes/
Individual Note: Eliza was born in 1828 to Asa and Delilah Maddox in Jennings County, IN. She married David Patterson on 6/25/1850 in Jennings County He was 26 at time of marriage and born in Ireland. Eliza and David are on the 1850 census on a farm near to her brother Preston's. Eliza and David had three children that we know of: Robert A., John Wesley and Margaret Jane.
Eliza Jane Maddox Patterson is alone on the 1860 census in Bigger Township, Jennings County, Indiana with her three children so David may have died before 1860. There is a William N. Rude age 21 listed first, a farmer, but with no real estate -- possibly a hired hand? Eliza is listed next, aged 27 with $600 in real estate, and $200 personal estate. Then there are three children: Robert A. Patterson, age 9, John W. age 7, Margaret J., age 3 all born in Indiana.
In 1864 when Eliza's mother, Delilah Maddox sold her land and the children signed their release, only Eliza signed and not David. Other spouses signed.
Eliza remarried in 1868 to James Boyes, born in Scotland, in Shawnee County, Kansas and was living near some of her Maddox siblings in Kansas. Eliza and James Boyes are in the 1870 census in Grover Township, Johnson County, Missouri (where they are again in 1880) which is near the Kansas/Missouri border. James name was spelled James Boyce. It's difficult to read the writing -- could be either Boyce or Boyes. On one photograph we have, Eliza is identified with her last name spelled Boyce so the pronunciation with James' Scottish accent must have made it sound like that. Two more daughters are in the household, Mattie and Eliza, who didn't survive until the 1880 census, and the enumerator spelled their last name Boyes.
James Boyce age 50, Farmer, real estate $2500, personal estate $1850, born Scotland
Eliza, 42, keeping house, Indiana
Robert (didn't say Patterson, but likely her son), 18, Work on Farm, Indiana
Margaret Patterson, 13, At home, Indiana
Mattie Boyes, 2, b. Kansas
Eliza Boyes, 1, b. Kansas
Eliza's son John Wesley Patterson who would have been about 16 isn't in the household and I haven't found him yet for the 1870 census. He probably was working as a farm hand at another farm.
The 1880 census of Grover Twp, Johnson Co, MO, household #152, p. 18, B Book (next to farm of Lorenzo McGilvry)
James Boyes age 61, born Scotland as were both parents
Eliza age 50 born Indiana, parents born KY
Richard age 8, b. MO
James age 3, b. MO
In the 1900 census, Eliza is living in Lincoln Township, Douglas County, Missouri in the household of her son John W. Patterson and his wife Amanda with her son James Boyes. Their last name this time is spelled Bois John's farm was on the same census page as his sister Margaret and husband Lorenzo McGilvry's farm.

Note for: Aaron Coppock, 25 DEC 1662 - 10 OCT 1726
Index
Individual Note: Aaron's birthday is listed by many as being October 25, 1662. The record that is most commonly referred to as documentation says ye 25 day 10 month 1662. Prior to 1752, the 10th month was December, not October. His baptism was definitely on Feb. 6, 1666.
Susan died Oct. 16, 1684, and was buried at the Church of England in Mobberly. This means at this point they were not Quakers. His first born child was buried at the Church of England graveyard on Feb. 9, 1691. The first indication that he had turned Quaker was in 1695 when he was fined 1 lb. for failure to tithe the Church of England. He paid the fine in corn. Somewhere between these dates Aaron and family must have turned Quaker. [internet]

From Gary Tucker:
Pleasant served in the Union Army during the Civil
War. He was a Private in Company F of the 14th
Missouri Volunteer Cavalry, joining in Springfield,
MO. Later his Regiment was changed to Company L, 8th
Missouri Regiment State Militia Cavalry. He was
discharged in April, 1865. Pleasant was in the Battle
of Ozark, Missouri, January 7, 1863, which was fought
in one day. A detachment of the 14th M. S. M., under
Capt. Birch, went down from Ozark to ascertain if the
reported invasion was a fact. Not far from White river
this detachment came upon a Confederate lieutenant and
two men, who had been left sick in a house
by the roadside. From them it was learned that in
truth, and in dangerous numbers, the Confederates were
on the war path, with such bold leaders as Marmaduke,
Shelby, and the long-haired Emmett McDonald at their
head. Striking northward, Capt. Birch made for the
Federal post at Lawrence Mills, on Beaver creek, in
the northwestern part of Taney county, where Maj.
Turner, of the 73d E. M. M., had about 75 Douglas and
Taney county men in garrison in a little block-house
and fort. Reaching the fort in good time Birch warned
Maj. Turner of his danger and advised him to evacuate
the post and go on to Ozark. Turner was an old man,
had been long in the service, and had heard a great
deal more of the Confederates than he had ever seen of
them, and was incredulous about there being any more
of them then in the country than a squad of
bushwhackers. Scarcely had Maj. Turner delivered
himself of his opinions, when the pistol shots of the
Confederate advance firing on his pickets were heard
A few moments later Emmett McDonald, with 500 cavalry,
dashed up and assaulted the block house and the men in
it and around it, cheering and shouting and making
more noise than a charivari party at a country
wedding The fight was soon over. The 14th M. S. M.
scampered away towards Ozark; Maj. Turner was wounded;
four or five of his men were killed, and very soon
nearly the whole outfit were prisoners of war.
Pleasant was captured that day, but was released two
days later. His horse and tack were not returned.
During the War he contracted Typhoid Fever and
Pneumonia. He was left with paralysis of the left
side of his face from exposure, which he suffered
during the spring of 1862. He received pension No.
629190.
(NOTE)
According to Pleasant's Bible, he did marry Kiziah in
Benton County near The Elkhorn Tavern where The
Pearidge Battle was fought. It goes on to say that he
enlisted in the 90 day service and was at the
Wilson Creek Battle as one of the pioneers. In March
of 1862 Pleasant enlisted in the 3 years service. In
1865 he returned home to his wife. (Source: Pleasant's
