Addison was called Addy - sometimes incorrectly heard as "Andy", leading some to wrongly conclude that his name was Andrew. Evan with that said, there is a family photo that has "Andie" written on the back. Several variations of his name appear in the federal census records.
Addison was first married 27 Jan 1889, Butler County, KS (near Seltzer Springs, Sedgwick County) to Martha E. Wilson, with whom he had three children: Edna (md 1st Dale Cuvelier and 2nd Richard Flum), George Tope and Ebert Tope. Martha died in 1899.
Addison was married 18 Apr 1907, Oswego, Labette Co, KS to Mary (Cole) Newcom, with whom he had one child: Verna Aureta Tope. This marriage was very brief.
