These are pictures of some of the daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren of Orville and Beulah (Eslinger) Maddron. To make it a little easier, we'll refer to everyone as they relate to Orville (Papaw) and Beulah (Mamaw), i.e.: daughter, grandchild, etc.
We want to give a Big Thank You to Beverly for sharing a lot of family photos! If any other Maddron cousins want to get in touch with us, our e-mail is: irishmurr57@yahoo.com.
We'd love to hear from you and add more recent photos of everyone in!

Benjamin Richard Maddron (1879 - 1964) and Alice McMahan Maddron (1880 - 1947) with their two eldest children, Bertha Maddron Shults (1901 - 1992) and Richard Alexander (Alex) Maddron (1904 - 1965).
These were the parents of Orville Lee Maddron, who was born in 1906 -- undoubtedly a couple of years after this photo was taken.

It's thought that Alice's gg grandfather, Archibald Redmond McMahan, was born in County Meath, Ireland. We happened to spend a night in County Meath during one of our trips to Ireland and thought we'd share a couple of the photos from that area. This is a night shot of one of the churches in Navan, County Meath, Ireland.

This was one of the graves in the cemetery of Athlumey House church in Navan, County Meath, Ireland. We didn't find any McMahans, but we did find these Murrays! :-)
We're hoping on our next trip to be able to confirm exactly where in Ireland our McMahan family originated from. Wish us luck!

Here's a nice photo of Alice McMahan Maddron, daughter Harriet Maddron Webb and her daughter Lou Ella Webb.
Orville Lee Maddron and his twin sister, Effie Mae Maddron Hill.
Beulah Eslinger Maddron as a young lady.
Beulah Eslinger Maddron and Orville Maddron in their younger days.
It's not hard to imagine that Mamaw took Papaw's hat off his head, thinking he should look nice for this picture!

Beulah Maddron holding one of her daughters (we think it's either Geneva or Amma), next to Orville's stepmother, Adelaid Davis Maddron, and Orville's two half brothers, Walter and Carl.
Beulah holding daughter Shirley (who was born in January 1949) and grandson Gary (who was born in February 1949). Imagine becoming a mother for the 7th time -- and a grandmother for the 1st time -- all within one month!
