The following information was found in the Orange County, Virginia records:July 1781, Ambrose Madison was Commissioned a Major.December 23, 1793, Mary W. Madison, Admix of Ambrose Madison, bondsman Francis Madison and William Madison.July 27, 1795, Mary Willis Madison, guardian of Nelly Conway Madison, orphan of Ambrose Madison, bondsman James Madison.Mary was the Mother of Nelly.Thus, looks like there is another Ambrose Madison prior to your Ambrose.These families had a terrible habit of naming their children after each other, thus causing much confusion. My family tree connects to the Madison, Powell, Lee, and Taylor's of Virginia, as well as the Posey's of Maryland and the Rush's and Jenkins' of South Carolina.
