MADDOCK FAMILY. Among the pioneers in the pottery industry of Trenton, New Jersey, are the Maddocks, who came from England, where members of the family were also engaged in the same business.
(1) John Maddock, of England, was a build- er and cabinet maker of the city of Old Chester. He removed from there to Staffordshire, where he became acquainted with John Davenport, a porcelain manufacturer at Longport, and built the Newport works for him. Two of John Mad- dock's sons, John and Thomas, learned the art of decorating porcelain goods at the Davenport works. John, son of John (I), established the firm of John Maddock & Sons, porcelain mann- facturers at Burslem, which firm is well known in America.
(II) Thomas Maddock, son of John Maddock (I), before mentioned, married Mary Crompton, at Burslem, England. They had eight children. The father died at Burslem in 1836, aged fifty- one years, and his widow and several of his chil- dren came to the United States and settled in and around New York City. The mother died there in 1849, aged sixty years.
(III) Thomas Maddock, second son of Thomas and Mary ( Crompton) Maddock, ac- companied by his wife, Honor ( Bossom) Mad- dock, left England, April, 1847, with William Leigh and wife, for New York City for the purpose of decorating porcelain in that city, and started in business at No. 39 Green street, in 1848, and a year later removed to No. 29 Spruce
street. Subsequently they made an arrangement with Waram & Hawghout, of No. 563 Broadway, to move to that place and decorate for them ex- clusively. A large business was soon established, the public being greatly interested in the new enterprise of decorating in this country.
In 1853 Maddock & Leigh decorated a dinner service for the United States government for use in the White House at the time of President Franklin Pierce's administration ; also decorated a service for the St. Nicholas Hotel of New York City, which was opened in 1853, Mr. and Mrs. Maddock attending the opening reception at the hotel.
In 1854, through over-exertion, Thomas Mad- dock became unable to attend to the business; he sold his interest to his partner and resided on his farm in Somerset county, near Bernardsville, New Jersey. In 1856, his health being restored, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, and purchased the Star hotel at the corner of Cranberry and Hicks streets, and continued to operate it for eight years. In 1859 he joined the Thirteenth regiment of National Guards, and in 1861 his regiment acted as escort to the Prince of Wales during his visit to this country. April 23, 1861, Mr. Maddock went with his regiment, at the opening of the Civil war, to Baltimore, to subdue the riots in that city. During his service he was bodyguard for Major Anderson, of New Jersey, who was detailed to take some government funds from Annapolis to Washington, District of Co- lumbia.
It was in 1866 that Thomas Maddock pur- chased a crockery and glassware business in Jer- sey City, New Jersey. In the early part of 1867 he disposed of the Brooklyn hotel and removed to Jersey City. In 1872 he purchased an interest in the Carroll street pottery at Trenton, New Jer- sey, the firm being styled Millington and Ast- bury. The Carroll street pottery was established in 1859. The firm was subsequently changed to Millington, Astbury & Maddock. They added to their product the manufacture of sanitary earthenware and continued until 1874, when Mr. Millington withdrew. Astbury & Maddock con- tinued the business until 1878, when Mr. Ast- bury died and Mr. Maddock became sole owner. At that date his three sons were interested in business at Jersey City. Mr. Maddock, being ad- vanced in years, requested them to dispose of their business and associate with him at Trenton.

as there appeared to him a large field for the pottery industry. In 1878 his son Archibald came to Trenton and was followed by his young- est brother Harry, who was a minor at that time. His son John came in 1880 and in 1881 Charles. All associated with him until 1882, when the firm of Thomas Maddock & Sons was established.
The business having been increased and in need of more space, the pottery adjoining, known as the City Pottery, was purchased on March 12, 1886. On March 5, 1890, that part of the works between Ewing and Carroll streets was destroyed by fire. The Trenton China Pottery situated in the southern part of the city on Lamberton street, being in the hands of the receiver, was purchased on May II, 1892, by Thomas Maddock & Sons. and therefrom was formed a separate corpora- tion known as the Maddock Pottery Company Lamberton Works. On May 12, 1892, that part of the works known as the City Pottery was de- stroyed by fire.
Thomas Maddock married (first), November 13, 1844, Honor Bossom, of Endon, in the Moor- lands, England, who bore him two sons: Will- iam B., who died in Califorina in 1869 ; and John. Honor (Bossom) Maddock died in 1850. Mr. Maddock married (second), in 1851, Isabella S. Middleton, who bore him four children : Charles S., born 1852; Archibald M., born 1856; Harry S., born 1861 ; Janet C., born 1865. Thomas Maddock (father) died June 16, 1899.
Alexander Henderson Maddock, an active member of the well known pottery firm of John Maddock & Sons, is identified with some of the important undertakings in the city in which he re- sides. He is a son of John and Martha Wayne (Henderson) Maddock, of New York, whose an- cestral history is herein given. Alexander H. was born in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, June 13, 1872. His education was acquired in the public schools and a business college, and he was thus well equipped for the busy career opening before him. Having mastered all the details of the pottery industry, he was admitted to mem- bership in the firm, where his valuable services are doing their full share toward upholding the standing of the firm. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, and financial secretary of the Junior Order of United American Mechan- ics.
He married, November 28, 1894, in Trenton, New Jersey, Susan Wilkes Britton, daughter of Charles and Mary (Lawton) Britton. They have

GEORGE B. HAUSSER, a prosperous and progressive farmer of Dutch Neck, Mercer coun- ty, New Jersey, is a representative of the second generation of his family in the United States.

For the past fifteen years he has resided upon and cultivated what is known as the Rue farm, near Dutch Neck. He is consid- ered one of the most prosperous farmers in the neighborhood, and is highly esteemed for his in- tegrity and many sterling qualities.
