Thomas Madden reportedly was an Irishman who migrated to the American
Colony of Maryland before the American Revolution.  He is thought to have
been born around 1761 but census data indicates that he may have been
born as early as the 1740s.  According to some of his McClanahan-McGready
descendents, he ended up in America because his family lost their land in
Ireland.  It is not known whether he came to America with his parents when
still a small child or by himself as a young man before 1780.  Most of his
descendents claim he was a Revolutionary War veteran who fought on the
side of the Colonists against the English.

A few months after the Revolutionary War fighting was ended by the Treaty
of Paris, Thomas Madden married Margaret Brown in Baltimore Co. MD in
December of 1783.  Margaret was the daughter of Honour Wells Holmes
Brown (daughter of James Wells) and Honour’s second husband Col. Richard
Brown.  Margaret was born in May of 1765 near Baltimore, Maryland.  She
was raised in Maryland and/or nearby Pennsylvania.  After the War ended,
her parents moved west to the Stony Creek Glades region of what was then
Virginia and is now northeastern West Virginia near the boarders of both
Maryland and Pennsylvania.  There the Browns obtained some 1100 acres of
land and built a large home in which they resided until they died, he in 1811
and she in 1816.

According to author Mary J. Roe in her book titled “Genealogy of Gen. James
Wells and descendents” published in 1892, an unknown traveler who visited
Richard and Honour Brown in 1807 wrote that Richard Brown had given a
farm to his daughter and her Irishman husband “Mr. Maden” and that around
1800 “Mr. Maden” had sold that farm for $1000 and migrated to Ste. Genevieve
on the Mississippi where “Maden” became a surveyor with a $2000 per year
income.  The visitor also wrote that, despite his age, Richard Brown had gone
to visit his daughter and her family in Ste. Genevieve around 1805.  Mrs. Roe
also indicated that Richard Brown’s trip to Missouri was mentioned on the
fly-leaf of the Brown Family Bible.

Another book titled “A history of Missouri from the earliest explorations and
settlements until the admission of the state into the Union” published in 1908
reported that in 1799 Thomas Maddin began to build a mill on the Saline River. 
In the Ste. Genevieve courthouse there are records of a concession by Pre. D.
Deluziere to Richard and Thomas Maddin in 1798, of a concession by Zenon
Trudeau to Thomas Maddin in 1799 and of a concession by Pre. D. Deluziere
to Thomas Maddin in 1800.  Thus, it is likely that two or more years before he
sold the farm his father-in-law had given him, Thomas Maddin and his two
oldest sons Richard and Thomas Jr. went to Missouri to see if the opportunities
were better there.  After obtaining land concessions, Thomas sold his farm
back east and moved his wife and younger children to the western frontier.  
The move proved very profitable for Thomas Madden as he was able to
obtain land grants from the Spanish government and to secure the lucrative
position as a deputy Surveyor under Antoine Soulard, the general surveyor
of Upper Louisiana under Spain, France and the United States during the
period from 1796-1806.

Thomas Madden reportedly lived about three miles outside the town of Ste.
Genevieve around 1800 when the community was visited by the Rev. William
Murphy, a Baptist Minister accompanied by his three sons (Joseph, William
and David) and a friend Silas George.  The English speaking visitors were
dismayed to find they could not communicate with the French speaking
inhabitants of the town.  Fortunately, someone contacted Thomas Madden
and he came into town to invited the visitors to his home.  Madden made
them feel welcome and advised them on where good pieces of land were
available for settlement. Later, Madden moved his family about fifteen to
twenty miles southwest of Ste. Genevieve to his large Spanish land grants
near the present day town of Coffman where he settled.  That area of
Ste. Genevieve County is in the Saline township.  Back then that area was
called the New Tennessee Settlement and it attracted many English
speaking settlers.

Thomas Madden and his wife Margaret were blessed with a large family.
A genealogy chart for Margaret and Thomas Madden’s family was offered
by historian Lucille Basler in a book titled “Pioneers of Old Ste. Genevieve,
MO.”   The chart seems to be consistent with other sources except for the
notable omission of Thomas Maddin, Jr.   The order of Thomas Sr. and
Margaret Madden’s children also seems to be listed in some sort of reverse
age order with the younger children listed first and the older last.  Since
daughter Honora Madden married in 1802 while her sister Margaret married
in 1803, it seems likely they were no younger than 16 when they married,
implying they were probably born between 1784 and 1787.   In January of
1810 Thomas Sr., Richard and Thomas Jr. all signed a Petition to Congress by
Inhabitants of Louisiana-Missouri Territory to establish a State Government. 
This fact would imply that all three men were age 21 or over which means they
were born before Jan. 1789.  Thus, Richard and Thomas Jr. were most likely
born between 1784 and Jan. 1789 with Richard probably being the oldest of
Margaret’s sons since it seems to have been a custom back at that time to
name the first son of a woman for her father (who was Richard Brown). 
Census data indicates that daughter Ann Madden was born about 1793
and son Malachi Madden about 1800.  Since sons James and William Israel
Madden did not sign the petition of 1810, this would imply they were not yet
21 at that time and would have been born after Jan. 1789 and before 1800. 
Thus, the chart from the book shown below is not listing the children in birth
order.  Text in the chart that is in parenthesis has been added for informational
purposes and did not appear in the above mentioned book “Pioneers of Old
Ste. Genevieve, MO.”

One possibility as to why Thomas Jr. was not included in this list of
children born to Margaret Brown and Thomas Madden Sr. might be
that Thomas Sr. was actually born before 1761 and a widower with
son Thomas Jr. at the time he married Margaret.  This would mean
that Thomas Jr. was actually older than Richard which would help
explain why Thomas Jr.’s children were so much older than Richard’s.
If Thomas Sr. had been married previously, possibly he had other
sons, Charles and Phillip, from the first marriage which could explain
why those names were given to so many grandsons of Thomas Sr.

Thomas Madden Sr.’s sons Richard and Malachi both married and
remained in Missouri until their deaths.  Since Richard’s wife
Margaret was born in Tennessee, it is likely that the couple met and
married in Missouri around 1816. Richard and Margaret raised their
family of seven children in Ste. Genevieve Co. and he died there around
January 1844.  Since he died without a will, his son Thomas Madden
and son-in-law Thomas E. Holmes were appointed administrators of
his estate.  However, by December 1849, both of these administrators
had moved away from Ste. Genevieve and the probate judge appointed
Richard’s nephew (and son-in-law) Charles Madden as the new
administrator of Richard’s estate.  Richard’s wife Margaret continued
living in Ste. Genevieve county at least until the time of the 1860 census.

Malachi Madden, the youngest of Thomas Madden Sr.’s children, was
apparently born shortly after his father moved the family to Missouri.
Malachi married Caroline James in Ste. Genevieve in 1826 and one of his
nephews later married Caroline’s sister.  Around the mid to late 1820s,
his father Thomas Sr. decided to homestead land in Washington Co.
Thomas Sr. moved to Washington Co. with a group of sixteen slaves to
work his land and run a mill Thomas Sr. reportedly built in that county.
Thomas’s youngest daughter Ann, her husband Josiah McClanahan and
their children also settled in Washington Co. around the same time and
lived near her father.   Sometime in the 1830s, Malachi and his wife
decided to move their family to Washington Co. probably to be nearer
his old father who died in 1838.  Malachi and Caroline remained in
Washington Co. until their own deaths in the late 1850s.  The 1860
census data for Washington Co. shows Malachi’s sister Ann McClanahan
took in one of his orphaned daughters, Jane, while his other dependent
children went to live with his married son James.

Thomas Madden Jr. and his sons Phillip and Charles moved from Ste.
Genevieve Co. MO to the Pope Co.-Perry Co. area of Arkansas in the
mid-1830s along with Thomas Jr.’s brother James Madden.  Phillip
apparently went there first around 1835 and was soon followed by his
father, uncle and brother.   During the late 1830s and early 1840s,
Phillip, Thomas Jr. and James all received land grants in the area of
Arkansas included by Yell, Johnson and Perry counties.  Thomas Jr.
reportedly operated a water powered mill in Perry county in addition
to farming.   During the 1840s these Maddens were joined in Arkansas
by the families of two of Richard Madden’s daughters, Rachel and
Margaret who had married brothers Thomas E. and William I. Holmes.
These two Holmes brothers were sons of Richard Madden’s friend
William Holmes of Ste. Genevieve Co.

Apparently, Thomas Sr.’s son James Madden and his wife died between
1840 and 1850 because their young children were listed living together
in Pope Co. AR in the 1850 Census without their parents.  In addition,
Thomas Jr. and his son Philip were not listed in the Arkansas census for
1850, possibly indicating they had also died.  Thomas Jr.’s other son
Charles was listed in the 1850 census living back in Ste. Genevieve County
with wife Honore and their children, a few households away from Honore’s
mother Margaret, widow of Richard Madden (Charles’ uncle).   By the time
of the 1860 census, Charles, his uncle Malachi and Malachi’s wife Caroline
had all died but Charles’ widow Honore and her mother Margaret Maddin
were both still living in Missouri at the time of that census. 

The 1850 Arkansas census lists Philip and Thomas Madden (grandsons
of Thomas Sr. and orphaned sons of James Madden) living with their three
younger sisters.  By 1860, the sisters probably had married to persons
unknown and it is not known what happened to them.  Census data
indicates that Philip had apparently married a woman from Texas and
started a family in Perry Co. AR.  A Thomas Madden was also listed in
that census for Perry Co. also married to a woman from Texas and living
next door to Richard Madden’s daughter Margaret Holmes.  Since
Margaret Madden Holmes had a brother named Thomas Madden who
was about the same age as James’ son Thomas and both cousins had
been born in Missouri, it is not clear whether the Thomas Madden listed
in the 1860 Perry Co. Census was the son of James Madden or his
brother Richard. 

Thomas Madden Sr.’s son William Israel married Louisiana, a daughter
of Henry Dodge, around 1822 in Ste. Genevieve Co. MO.  William I. and
his wife moved with the Dodge family to Wisconsin territory around 1826. 
There her father Henry Dodge was appointed the first governor of the
territory of Wisconsin and later, after statehood was granted, he was
elected as a U. S. Senator for the state of Wisconsin.  William I. Madden
and his wife produced at least five sons (Henry D., Charles, Thomas,
William and Augustus) and one daughter Delia before he decided to join
the Gold Rush to California in the late 1840s.  Unfortunately, William died
after reaching California without striking it rich, leaving his wife and
children back in Wisconsin to manage as best they could.  Some twenty-
five to thirty years later William’s wife Louisiana, daughter Delia and son
Charles migrated to Sonoma County California.  Eventually Delia was
committed to a California insane asylum, probably after her mother was
either dead or no longer able to take care of her.

Not a lot is known about what happened to Thomas Madden Sr.’s
daughters after they married.  Daughter Honore married Nathaniel Cook
in 1802 and they settled in what became St. Francois Co. MO in an area
called Cook’s Settlement after her husband Nathaniel.  The Cooks raised
three daughters (Annie Madden, Latetia E. and Sarah Jane Cook) and a
son (Nathaniel, Jr.).  Over the course of their marriage, Nathaniel Sr. was
prominently involved in county and state politics and during the War of
1812 he served as a Major in the Missouri rangers.  Nathaniel Cook’s
younger brother John D. Cook settled in MO like Nathaniel did.  John was
appointed US district attorney for MO during the administration of his
wife’s cousin President Zachary Taylor.  Another of Nathaniel’s brothers
was Daniel P. Cook who became the first representative in Congress for
the state of Illinois and was the man for whom Cook Co. IL was named.

Madden daughter Margaret married Jacob Horine in 1803 and their family
lived in Jefferson Co. MO at the time of Jacob’s death around 1825.  It
seems likely that Margaret was also dead in 1825 when a legal document
filed in Jefferson Co. MO showed that Thomas Maddin was the guardian of
her children Susan Caroline and Thomas Maddin Horine and that their
father Jacob’s estate was valued at over $10,000.  The children’s guardian
Thomas Maddin may have been Margaret’s father Thomas Madden Sr. or
possibly her brother Thomas Madden Jr.

The youngest Madden daughter Ann was born about 1793 on her parents’
farm back east in that part of Virginia that later became West Virginia. 
She married Josiah McClenehan/McClanahan/McClendan around 1818 and
they were living in Washington Co. MO in 1825 when he was referenced
in the legal document mentioned above concerning the children of his
wife’s sister Margaret Horine.  The Thomas Maddin listed in the 1830
Census for the Union township of Washington Co. was Ann’s father and
Josiah and Ann may have settled in the Union township of Washington Co.
to be near her old father or vice versus.   In the 1840 Census for
Washington Co., Jas. or Jos. McClannahan was listed living in the Union
township not far from Ann’s brother “Maliki Maden.”  This J. McClannahan
was listed with a wife 40-50 years old, a daughter 15-20 years old and
three young men 20-30 years old.  By the time of the 1850 census, Josiah
had died and widow Ann was listed with one thirty-seven year old son F. A.
McClanahan, her widowed daughter Ann McGready (age 28) and two
McGready grandchildren.  At that time Ann and her family lived fairly
close to her brother Malachi.  The 1860 Census for Washington Co.
listed only Ann’s daughter and her daughter’s two McGready children
in Ann’s household along with one of Malachi’s orphaned daughters. 
Possibly her son Francis had died or he may have moved elsewhere.  A
mill reportedly originally built by Thomas Madden in Washington Co. was
passed down in Ann’s family to her granddaughter Lucy McGready and
Lucy’s husband Robert Bust. 

NOTE – While Josiah McClanahan and his family were not listed in the
1830 Census for Washington Co., a Josiah McLaughlin was listed a few
households away from 80-90 year old Thomas Madden and McLaughlin’s
wife was in the same age bracket as Ann Madden McClanahan and the
four youngest McLaughlin’s children listed in the 1830 Census match the
ages of Ann and Josiah’s children in the 1840 Census.  Possibly, Josiah
McClanahan’s last name was misspelled in the 1830 Census as McLaughlin.
