Note: I suspect that Madora wasn't honest about her age throughout her life. The only Madora
McAnally that I have been able to find is 10 years younger, and her family follows James N. Bowden's
family from Lawrence County to Giles County, Tennessee. I'm going to document the Madora McAnally
I've found as the person who became the wife of James Newton Bowden and prove or dispute that
hypothesis.
