My interest is primarily Elizabeth Ann Madison, her presumed brother Ambrose Madison, and their siblings, as they relate to the Taylor and Penn families.As to their parents, I have no documentation. Of the Madison genealogies I've seen, it appears Elizabeth Ann Madison's father and grandfather were named John Madison. John Madison(Maddison) the elder I have as b. abt 1625, and d.4 April 1683, and m. (Maria) Ambrose.Of the four children that I have one was John Madison b. abt. 1663 and d. aft. 1717, and m. Isabella Minor Todd b. 1677. Given the difference in age, I'd say it could have been a second marriage and Isabella's maiden name could have been Minor. A few things make me suspicious that she would be the mother of Elizabeth Ann, Ambrose and the rest...first, there is no daughter named Isabella, second, some accounts I've seen give the wife of John Madison b. 1698 as Eliza Minor - could she be the source of this confusion?
