Answer 1

Madison County was not formed until 1785. It was Lincoln County before that so, you may want to search that location too. There is some information about records on FamilySearch for Madison County, Kentucky. You can also look at KY Kinfolk. Counties changed alot back then so I always check the history of the county to see if I should also look in another county.

There is also a RootsSearch on the right side of your ancestors profiles. Sign into it with the same email and password that you sign into WikiTree with. You can find several search links. FamilySearch is a good place to look and it is free.
