Eliza Lewis Madison born 1834 "Woodberry Forest", Orange County, Virginia. She married Col. Thomas Dorsey Taliaferro in 1854 at the "Woodberry Forest" home of her father Ambrose Madison(b. 1796 d.1855)She died 1886 in Cook County, Texas but she and her husband are both buried in Madill. Oklahoma. The cemetery land in Madill was donated by her sons and named "Woodberry Forest" for her home in Virginia.
She is my ggrandmother
Her parents ,Ambrose Madison and Jane Bankhead Willis, were married 1819 in Orange County, Virginia. If he was married before this I am not aware of it.
William Madison and Frances Throckmorton of "Woodberry Forest" were her grandparents.
