Thomas Maddock: First Settler in Big Basin

This set of documents on the Maddock family is separate into seven sections: the patriarch Thomas, the matriarch Alice, the descendants of their children, their cabin, the floor plan of the cabin, a map of the Big Basin Redwoods State Park they settled on, and recollections on the family (which has been separated into the second file due to length).
