DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Hi fellow profile managers,

I am not sure THIS John Henry Madison is the right one. Madison-1029 seems to be more accurate as he has a child with the middle name of Strother which is his father's mother's maiden name. Also, the dates are all wrong - Madison-338's wife Elizabeth Hancock was 9 when she was married and 52 when she had Albert.

I am confident that the James Henry Madison who married Elizabeth Hancock in 1797 in Botetourt VA is the correct descendant of Thomas Madison and Susannah Henry. (see the DAR lineage book excerpt attached) The DAR lineage book shows the following – the Madison lineage down through John Robinson Madison which is shown here..

Elizabeth Hancock is the daughter of George Hancock and Margaret Strother - so you can't count on naming conventions as a rationale for this instance.

I also agree that the dates are suspicious which is why they are marked “Uncertain”…There is very little specific information on dates during this time and the census info is never reliable. He would have been at least 18 years old to marry – to that would place his birth in 1778 and I agree that her birth is inconsistent too for a marriage of 1797. This might be a transcription error”?? Her first son was born 1814

There are written histories about the Madison, Hancock, and Strother families. They were very influential families and frequently intermarried. (i.e. money and power). They also named their kids the same name…so it is hard to distinguish.

I would question why we started calling her "Isabelle" Elizabeth Hancock and if the census information provided above is for the right family ?

I would recommend getting the G2G experts involved in this genealogy problem and see if they can help.
