Maddera Cemetery, Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama

Data collected March 30, 2002 by Rick Wallace

The Maddera Cemetery is located in Madison County on Johns Road, between Old 
Monrovia Road and Oakwood Road.  There is only one known tombstone which
is currently in the yard of the old Brockway Farmhouse.  The stone was plowed
up in a cotton field several years ago.  The stone is that of Archibald T.
Maddera, who was born in Surry County, VA on August 10, 1792.  He is mentioned
in the book "Eary History of Huntsville, Alabama" by Edward Chambers Betts (1804-1870).
Mr. Betts states that: "On the west side of Jefferson Street, just off the square, 
on the site of the old Huntsville Hotel, C. Cheatham owned and operated a tavern, and
just across the street, in the center of the block, Archibald Maddera ran his tavern,
which was headquarters for the delegates to the Territorial Constitutional Convention
held at Huntsville in 1819."

Only known stone though others are most probably buried there:
