Brenda, just today I read your 9/21/99 info about your father, WILLIAM MADRON. I have been doing research in MADRON genealogy and so far have searched back to WILLIAM H. MADRON born 1838 in Tennessee, married MATILDA BLEDSOE THOMAS, born 1840 in Tennessee; my mother GYVA MADRON (ERICKSON) was a sister to your father and I have met you in Twin Falls, Idaho; I am the person who hosted the MADRON FAMILY REUNION in 1992 on Chinook Pass in Washington State. For you and other who want info on this branch of the Madron Family contact me at e-mail: Paulinenbarney@aol.com I am in Yakima, WA in the summer and in Yuma, AZ in winter so maybe we can get together in this winter; also a Joyce Hayes in Thousand Palms, CA is doing research on the same identical family.
