  • Notes 
    • War of 1812 records have Francis as part of Ragan's regiment and McLaughlin's company (part of Ragan's regiment ?). Names appear as Mador, Madone, and Madore. Detailed information on the action of Ragan's unit can be found at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wcarr1/Lossing2/Chap39.html.
      --------
      From "Newspaper abstracts of Alegany and Washington Co 1811-1914": Allegany Freeman newspaper, Oct 21, 1815, Francis Madore gives notice to persons indebted to him for meat, etc.
      --------
      MDLandRec.net Allegany County G p 435: On 1 Aug 1814 John Gebhart constable on orders from John Scott esquire and justice of the peace confiscated and sold at public auction a lot in the town of Cumberland belonging to Francis Madore to satisfy numerous unpaid debts incurred by Francis Madore to four different people . The purchaser at public auction was George M. Houx who was one of the persons owed money.

      MDLandRec.net Allegany County K p 64: On 9 Dec 1818 Thomas Beall of Samuel deeded to Francis Madore for $7 a lot in the town of Cumberland.

      MDLandRec.net Allegany County K p 298: On 9 Dec 1819 Thomas Beall of Samuel deeded to Francis Madore for $? a ? (mostly unreadable).

      MDLandRec.net Allegany County L p 111: On 30 Dec 1820 Francis Madore deeded to William Everstine for $50 a lot on Mechanic St. in the town of Cumberland. Elizabeth Madore wife of Francis Madore personally apeared to acknowledge the transaction. This appears to be the lot bought 9 Dec 1818.

      MDLandRec.net Allegany County L p 194: On 13 Aug 1821 Francis Madore deeded to Lewis Everstine for $50 a lot know as "Walnut Bottom". Elizabeth Madore wife of Francis Madore personally apeared to acknowledge the transaction. This may be the lot bought 9 Dec 1819.
      --------
      Allegany County:
      part of Prince Georges Co 1696 - 1748
      part of Frederick Co 1748-1776
      part of Washington Co 1776-1789
      Allegany Co 1789-up
      --------
      Check ancestry emails from Ron Madore. He seems to think Francis Madore is Francois Madore b 10 Jan 1769, Quebec, Canada. On a quick check I never found anything to verify this.

      On 11/29/15 he wrote:
      I did some digging on Ancestry.com and found your missing link. Francois was married twice. Ist. to Marguerite Lalande in St. Jerome, Quebec Jan 22, 1798. Also found that his father’s surname was Morel. My line goes back to Laplante. Hopefully you will be able to trace it back from there, if not let me know.

      The war of 1812-1814
      "While the President of the United States delayed calling upon the States for military support until July 4th, 1814, Maryland was alert to the impending situation. When the battle of North Point and Fort McHenry came, in September, 1814, Maryland had the situation well in hand, won the day and made the victory so complete that they became crucial turning points in the struggle or American reedom upon the high seas, and that they practically put an end to the war and insured the treaty of peace which so soon followed in their morning wake.

      Allegany county formed a part of the first military district of the State, and furnished two well-drilled and fully equipped companies that marched to Baltimore and gallantly participated in those memorable engagements. One of these companies was made up of Cumberland men, and the other of men from the lower districts of Allegany county.

      As far as the Cumberland branch of the Madore family history is known, it began with Francis Madore, father of Benjamin Francis and grandfather of Lloyd Clark Madore, who lived on the top of Long Hill, on the Baltimore Pike. It is supposed that he was Hueguenot French, for he was called "Frenchy." He was a skilled river boatman of his day in piloting boats to Georgetown, D.C. and must have come to the county along with Thomas Beall of Ninian, for he lived on Thomas Beall's land and died there, and lies buried in the corner of the Elza Nave field by the pike side at its turn where you come in sight of the Robey schoolhouse.
