DAR Ancestor #A073062

Roger Madison was the son of John Madison Jr and Isabella Minor Todd. His exact birth is unknown; some sources say 1710 but this would be after his mother's 1706 death date. His 1801 death date is believed accurate; he signed his will 28 Apr 1789 and it was "proven by oath in court" 25 Jan 1802.

Most researchers I've found show Roger Madison marrying Elizabeth Taliaferro sometime between 1745-1760 in Halifax Co, Virginia. However, Halifax County was not formed until 1752, so if the marriage was prior to then it was probably Caroline County (formed 1727). Their "mini-biography" (http://www.teachergenealogist007.com/2009/12/cox-66-67.html) indicates they were married sometime after 1740 in Caroline County, VA. Thanks to Joe Crouch (Lexington KY) for this clarification.

Roger and Elizabeth had 5 known children:
1 Elizabeth (Madison) Moore; b abt 1734, d ?
2 Ann (Madison) Cox; b abt 1736, d abt 1809
3 Mary (Madison) Collins; b abt 1743, d ?
4 Ambrose Madison; b abt 1745; d 1802
5 Frances (Madison) Collins; b abt 1763; d 1830
