Hi just thought I'd drop a note. Wile I'm not in the direct Madden line Michael Madden and Catherine Oxenden had a granddaughter named Sophronia Madden who married one of my Great grand uncles Richard Thomas Smith of Indian Brook, Shelburne. He's a son of Barzilla Smith and Mary Ann Davis. My Great grandfathers name was William Henry Smith. My Grand father James Avard Smith, my mother Marjorie Bernice Smith, and me Dennis Bruce Cutter. I live in Westbrook, Maine.
I've spent the day today going over my Smith family with a fine tooth comb trying to find any clue to Barzilla's father which I'm just guessing at right now. Also there is some question if William is his son though I'm almost 100% sure of it by now. When William got married they put his father's name down as just B. and wife as Mary while other children spelled it out. They all lived together so it's fairly obvious that they are brothers.
Well anyway hope you have a great day.
