| Notes |
- John Maddera was the son, probably the only son born to Zacharias Maddera and his second wife Joanna Hurdle. He was probably born between 1720 and 1730. The Maddera family is said to have lived near Cabin Point in Surry County. Most of what we know about him and his family is gleaned from his will, written in 1782. All of his eight children were still under age when he died. [1]
