Ohio County Guardianships

 Ohio County Guardianships

          Guardianship proceedings occurred when minor children were orphaned or when the father or "bread winner" died. The mother was allowed to retain guardianship if officials considered her circumstances sufficient to provide for the children. Another person appointed as guardian may have been a relative, a friend of the family, or one who could teach the minor(s) a trade. In some cases guardians or administrators were appointed to handle the affairs of adults who were deemed incompetent.

          County officials (County Court/County Judge) appointed guardians to provide minor children with education or training, making it more likely that the minors would become contributing members of the community rather than wards of the county or state.

          The guardian must file periodic reports with the Court detailing all actions taken by the Guardian, especially when the Guardian is handling money belonging to the child or the incompetent adult (sometimes referred to as the Ward).

          Guardianship records usually give the name of the deceased parent(s) and the names and ages of the minor children. The records have been kept by the clerks of either the county courts or the circuit courts in Kentucky. They are most often intermingled with probate or court records.

          I am unable to search the Ohio County courthouse records for guardianship data but I have searched the online records for the Hartford Herald (1875-1926) and the Hartford Republican (1891-1926) and found ninety-five mentions of guardianships, which (I assume) would be substantially less than the actual total.  It would be a good project for someone to search those records and write a book on this subject. 

          I will post all ninety-five items that I found.  I will highlight the surname of the Ward to help you search.  These are not in chronological order, but as I found them when searching the online site for the newspapers.  It will take several weeks to post all ninety-five items.

Here’s what I found in the Hartford Herald:

William Aston Maddox

          William Aston Maddox, born 31 May 1791, Virginia, son of John Maddox III and Eleanor Aston, died  February, 1866, Ohio County, Kentucky. He is thought to be buried in the Maddox Cemetery, McHenry, Ohio County.

          William married Elizabeth Gray (abt 1797- 1870) on 30 Nov 1815 in Ohio County and they had eight children: John 1820; Thomas 1821; James 1824; Martha E. 1830; William L. 1832; Samuel W. 1834; Daniel A. 1836; and Nancy Jane (Shepherd) 1839. 

          William served with the Confederate Army during the Civil War.  It is thought their home was located near McHenry or Centertown.

          As you can see in his Will, below, he made an agreement with his son Daniel for Daniel to take care of Elizabeth, his wife, until her death, and left his other children only $1.00 each.

MADDOX

AZARIAH PECK MADDOX, Ohio County, was born December 27, 1824, near Rockport, Ohio Co., Ky. , where he was reared to manhood and has always resided (for ancestry, see sketch of Elder Maddox). Mr. Maddox has been twice married; first May 6, 1846, to Berenice, daughter of Ellis and Nancy (Southard) Chapman, of Ohio County; she was born November 23, 1826, and died November 4, 1863. To their union were born the following named children: Robert W., Elijah C., Ephraim E. (deceased), Byram N., Joshua L., Amanda E. (deceased), JudsonT. (deceased), John D., Ellis J., and James P.  May 15, 1864, Mr. Maddox married Mrs. Elizabeth J., widow of William B. Chapman, and daughter of James M. and Seeanna (Borah) Rogers, of Butler county. Mrs. Maddox was born November 6, 1834, and has borne her husband the following children: Seeanna B. (Maddox), Mary E., Nannie J., Azariah L., and Otis P.  By her first husband were born Ora E. (Maddox) and Martha C. (Loney). Mr. Maddox is a farmer, owning 279 acres of fine land in good condition. He is a member of the Baptist Church, and a Democrat.

Note:  Azariah (Azzie) P. Maddox died 1 Nov 1901 in Ohio County and is buried in West Providence Baptist Cemetery, Ohio County.

ELDER DAVID J. K. MADDOX, Ohio county, was born May 10, 1836, on the place where he now resides near Rockport. His father, John Maddox, Sr., was born December 23, 1796, in Woodford County, Ky. He was a licentiate and great revivalist in the Baptist Church, extensively known, and died at this place June 10, 1876; he lost six slaves by the emancipation; he was the son of John Maddox, Sr., of Culpeper County, Va.; who removed to Kentucky when a young man; he was a soldier in the Revolution. He married Eleanor Aston; was an active Baptist, and died in Hamilton, Ky., in 1845, aged about eighty years. John Maddox, Jr., married Amelia B., daughter of Robert and Charlotte (Barnes) Render, of Ohio County; she died in 1875, at the age of seventy-five years. Their union was blessed by the birth of Mary B. (Rowe), Eleanor A. (Taylor), Azariah P., Elizabeth R. (Casebier), Susanna H. (Stroud), Paulina F. (Baker), Joseph L. R., David J. K., Charlotte J. (Tichenor), and Sarah C. (Brown). All were married and all were Baptists. In youth Elder Maddox had only such educational advantages as the schools of the country afforded, but by close application, laboring in the daytime, studying at night, preaching on Sabbath, he has acquired a large fund of information on ecclesiastical and literary subjects. March 9, 1856, he married Sallie A., daughter of Collier and Ann Tichenor, of Ohio County, born November 3, 1834. To their union have been born James E., John B., Anna B., Collier T., David L., Edgar D., Jared M. (deceased), William N., Albert L., Caperton C, Susan A. C., and Martha E. At the age of ten years Elder M. joined the Missionary Baptist Church; was licensed to preach in 1859; ordained to the full work of the ministry in 1860, and has served as pastor of Rochester, West Providence (sixteen years), Pond Run, Paradise, Mt. Carmel, Beaver Dam, Central City, Woodward's Valley, and West Point. He was moderator of the Gasper River Association for seven years, and during the time of his ministry has baptized about 800 and married 300 couples. Elder Maddox owns and cultivates the old family manor, consisting of about 300 acres of productive and well-improved land. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, also of the G. T.; was chaplain of the State Grange, and politically a Democrat.

Passport Application - Otis Pendleton Maddox - 1921

Otis P. Maddox and family, wife Effie May Roe Maddox, and children Cathleen Roe, John R., Paul Judson, Otis P., Jr., Samuel Eaton, Azzie D., applied for a passport to visit Brazil for two months. Otis was born at Rockport, Ohio County, 11 April 1874, the son of Azzarih P. Maddox. Note that sometimes the surname was spelled Mattox. Otis states that his legal domicile is Rockport. His travels to Brazil are for the purpose of missionary work. He further states that he has been living in Brazil since 1906. Mr. Maddox died in Waco, Texas 17 July 1955 and was buried in New Mexico. His death certificate states that his mother was Elizabeth Jane Rogers.

From 1945 newspaper article: Missionary O. P. Maddox and Mrs. Maddox, who were appointed to Brazil forty years ago last June, returned to the United States a few days ago, arriving in Newport News, August 12.  They are now on the emeritus list, but they hope to return to Brazil sometime next year.  They have a very remarkable family of children.  Three of their sons---Colonel Paul Maddox, Commander Otis P. Maddox, Jr., and Captain Samuel E Maddox, all served as chaplains in World War II, Colonel Maddox being Chief Chaplain of the Fifth Army in Italy and the other two sons as chaplains in the Pacific.  Another son, Captain Daniel Maddox, is a surgeon and has served two years with the Armed Forces in Greenland.  All four of these, with the exception of Colonel Maddox, who is now in Brazil on a brief mission in connection with the Brazilian Expedition to Europe, are now in this country.  A fifth son, David C. Maddox is training in the Navy.  Thus they have five sons in the military service.  A sixth son, Rev. John R. Maddox, who graduated from Southwestern Seminary, is pastor of the Azle Avenue Baptist Church, Ft. Worth, Texas.  A daughter, Kathleen (Mrs. Arthur Pinto), who has been serving as secretary to the American Consul in Belo Horizonte, and has also been teaching in our Baptist college in Belo Horizonte, came home with her father and mother, accompanied by her three little children.  She and her parents will be at Carthage, Missouri for a while and then will go to California for the winter.

DAVID JARRELL KELLEY MADDOX

DAVID JARRELL KELLEY MADDOX was the Seventeenth Pastor of the Green River Church. He served in the office from January, 1899, to and including May, 1902 - a period of three years and five months - forty-one months. In that time he saw the Church membership, which had been reduced drastically by roll revision from 222 to 138 in 1896, climb back to 161 in 1901, as a great revival in 1900 added 29 by baptism alone. The Church paid him $100.00 per year for his labors in their midst. 

Brother Maddox was born near the village of Rockport, Ohio County, Kentucky, on May 10th, 1836; and died in the same County, on February 21, 1904. His body was interred in the family Cemetery near West Providence Baptist Church, Ohio County, Kentucky, after four Baptist Ministers had taken an active part in conducting his funeral at the Church. He was the son of John Maddox, Jr., a Licensed Minister, but never an ordained one. His father was a successful revivalist for years. His mother was Amelia B. (Render) Maddox, the daughter of Robert Render and Charlotte (Barnes) Render. He bore the name well of one of the most famous of the pioneer Baptist Ministers of the Green River Country - David Jarrell Kelley (1791-1831) - who was a faithful Minister of the Gospel of Christ himself. He was the eighth child of ten born to his parents, and in his early years had only the educational advantages afforded by his native County; but, by close application, labored in the day and studying at night, and preaching on the Lord's Day, he acquired a large amount of information on ecclesiastical and literary subjects. 

He was married in March, 1856, to Miss Sallie A. Tichenor, the daughter of Collier and Ann Tichenor. To this union twelve children were born. Two of them, Edgar Dowden Maddox and Albert L. Maddox, became useful Baptist Ministers. His first died about 1900. In November, 1902, he married Lou Tichenor, who ministered tenderly to him until his death. At the age of ten, in 1846, Brother Maddox was converted and baptized into the fellowship of the Walton's Creek Church by the writer's maternal great-grandfather - Alfred Taylor - the Pastor. The meeting was conducted in his father's home, and he was among sixteen who were baptized at that time. This was the beginning of the work which later grew into West Providence Church, in July, 1853, the home of the Maddox preachers for four generations. 

He was licensed by the West Providence Church in June, 1859, and ordained on May 7th, 1860, by a Council or Presbytery composed of Baptist Ministers Alfred Taylor and J. F. Austin. In his ministry of forty-four years, he served sixteen Churches. They were: Rochester in Butler County; West Providence, Pond Run, Mt. Carmel, Beaver Dam, Woodward's Valley, West Point, Green River, Cool Spring and Mt. Zion, in Ohio County; Paradise, Central City and Drakesboro, in Muhlenberg County; Buck Creek and Livermore, in McLean County; and South Hampton, in Daviess County. Brother Maddox took a deep interest in Denominational Affairs at large, attending often the general meetings. For thirteen years he served as the Moderator of the Gasper River Association. He assisted in organizing a number of Churches, and in ordaining a number of Baptist Ministers, of which nine had been baptized by him. The work of the Denomination was greatly helped by his life and ministry.

ELLIS JASPER MADDOX

ELLIS JASPER MADDOX: The subject of his sketch, whose parents were A. P. and Remus Maddox, was born in 1859, near Rockport, (Ohio County,) Ky. At the early age of fifteen years he was born again and baptized, the baptizing being done by D. J. K. Maddox, an uncle of the younger Maddox. He was licensed to preach when about twenty-one, at the same time with Bro. H. P. Brown, of West Providence Church, in Ohio County. At the age of twenty-eight, on November 5, 1887, he was ordained to the full work of the Gospel ministry. In June of 1890, he graduated at Bethel College, receiving the A.B. degree in October of the same year, he was married to Ellen Bow, who, with one child, a daughter, survived him. During his stay at Bethel College especially the last three years, in connection with his laborious school work, he began to be quite actively engaged in actual ministerial labors, serving Muddy River Church, of Bethel Association, Mt. Carmel of Gasper River Association, South Carrollton and Sugar Grove of the Daviess County Association. Gradually he was called to other churches near Owensboro, namely: Zion, Southampton and Mt. Carmel. In the meantime he had been called to the care of the Walnut Street Church of Owensboro, which call he declined. At the time of his death he was pastor-elect of Fordsville Church, having previously resigned the care of Mt. Carmel. He departed this life in September, 1895, at the early age of thirty-six, a life short when measured by years, but filled with labors of love for his Master. During his school life his work was a credit to himself as well as to the institution which he attended. His disposition, as shown among his fellow students, was such as to gain their high esteem and love. As a pastor, he endeavored so to fulfill his duties, and did it so well that it was a puzzle to the churches to know whom to secure to succeed him. But he built wisely, and the churches have gone on in the work he was called so early to leave. He was secretary of Daviess County Association in 1893-1895. He served both faithfully and efficiently giving satisfaction to all. The last sermon he preached was one of a series on "The Final Perseverance of the Saints." His last preaching was indicative of his ministerial life. He realized the saving grace of God and felt that he was being kept by that same power. And feeling thus he persevered as a preacher of the gospel. He preached the Annual Sermon before the Association in 1895, the year of his death.
