from "Joseph West and Jane Owen" by Celeste Terrell Boarnhill, page 50 is a chapter on Henry Maddock.  It states that Henry Maddock was born in Lome or Loom Hall, Cheshire England.  On a recent trip to Cheshire we did a diligent search for Loom Hall and could find no reference to such a place.  Julia Mortensen was able to finally solve the problem when she found Hulme Hall about 15 miles NNE of Nantwich.  We believe this is the unfindable Loom Hall. I could easily envision his father, a joyner working for the owner of Hulme Hall. 

"Henry Maddocks of Nantwich, joyner wed Elizabeth Kennerley of Welsbarley of Middlewich, spinster at Acton or Nantwich"  Chester Marriage License Vol V, 1661-1667. Middlewich is a market town 10 miles north of Nantwich.  Perhaps Welsbarley was the name of a house in that town. Acton is a small village just next to Nantwich, but the term also refers to an ancient parish in Nantwich hundred.

We believe that Henry and Elizabeth Maddock had at least 3 children:  all known in Pennsylvania.
1.  John Maddock, born c1665
2.  Mordecai Maddock, born c 1667
3.  Jane Maddock, born c 1670, wed George Maris 1690 in Chester County PA.

A website which  lists immigrant ships arriving 1683, havea list of people with the name of the villages and towns they came from.  On this list the servants were said to be "servants to Henry Maddock"  Henry arrived on another ship in November of 1683. http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/chester/immig/ships1683.txt  This is a partial registry of arrivals, made between 1682 and 1698.

		Many who arrived came as servants, bound to serve a certain length of time, and it was on this account that a record was
		made(although other names are also listed).  The original of this list is at the PA Historical Soc..

  The timing and general vicinity makes it a reasonable surmise that John was Henry's son. from Chester (UK) Marriage license, vol V, 1661-1667, page 198 Henry Maddocks of Nantwich,"joyner" wed Elizabeth Kennerley of Middlewich, sprinster at Acton or Nantwich.  John and Henry Maddocks were both Joiners, came from the same village, and John was accompanied by Henry's servants.  They also purchased land near each other in Chester County south of Philadelphia near the Delaware River. .

from a History of Delaware County we get a bio of Henry Maddocks.  It states that  Henry Maddocks purchased land in Springfield PA with his brother-in-law, James Kennerley in 1683.  James died within the next few years, and Henry returned to England leaving his land and that inherited from James to his son Mordecai Maddock.  Mordecai was appointed a trustee in the Quaker Meeting in 1687 and again in 1690.  After this Mordecai returned to England also.  His sister, Jane Maddock wed George Maris in 1690.  Perhaps he felt he left her in good hands.

Another source (unknown at this time) said that the Springfield land was inherited by "Henry's son and heir, Mordecai Maddocks"  in 1701.   He came back to PA to take possession of his inheritance in 1701.  Henry may have been ill and that is why Mordecai returned to claim the property, but he did not die until 5 years later.

 John Maddocks purchased land in Nether Providence in 1691, which he sold in 1692 to William Simpson, Chester county Deed book A page 141.  Nether Providence is just next to the land Henry had purchased,  

Henry Maddock is featured on page 50 of Joseph West and Jane Owen by Celeste Terrell Barnhill, which can be read online.  They state that Henry returned to England and died there.  The English Non-conformish Records 1671-1900 on page 15, note that Henry Maddocks of Frandley Society of Friends, Great Budworth, Cheshire died April 18, 1706.  His age was given as 64.  We believe this also means he was buried at Frandley.  The Frandley Quaker cemetery was established in 1657, so this is a reasonable surmise.  The Meeting House still functions but it was rebuilt in the 19th century, from
http://www.themeister.co.uk/hindley/domesticated_animals.htm

We have no evidence that  Elizabeth Kennerley Maddock.every sailed to America.  She lived another 16 years.  The same source, page 35 note that she died on Feb. 5, 1721/22 and was buried at Frandley on Feb. 7th.  at age 82. She had not married again.
