This family spent a brief time around Marion and Searcy County, Arkansas before removing to Cooke County, Texas.
In 1895, the youngest sibling, James (Jim) Addison was born and it is believed that his mother died of childbirth complications. About 1896, John Mayfield Addison took his now motherless family of five children to the area of Custer and Washita County, Oklahoma, where other relatives were relocating. In 1900 the family was recorded on the Census for Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory and shortly thereafter were living in Caddo County, Oklahoma.
Family has related that Mayfield was one day down on the floor playing with his baby brother Jim when he suddenly rolled over and died. He was around twenty five years of age. His burial in the Fort Cobb area is unknown.
