They had five children who were leaders in the community and their descendents as well. Two of Addison's sons served in the military during the Civil War. He had extensive land holdings at his death of which he bequethed to family members. His burial plot is described as well as his funeral aboard a train. Newell Creek, Newell Dam, and Newell Reservoir were named after Addison until the reservoir was renamed Loch Lomond later.
