Madie was born Mary Virgie Miles. Because her name sounded too much like Mary Virgin, they changed her name to Madie. Her mother, Sally Kate Sullivan, died when she was 12. Her mother wanted the girls to have a mother, so she asked her father Ples to marry her cousin, Ellen New (FAG# 41341940), a widow herself. She had a step-brother, Robert Jackson, from this marriage.
