Records in Virginia

Thomas Maddison was appointed Sheriff of King & Queen County, VA on 25 April 1715 (H. R. McIlwaine, ed., Executive Journals of the Council of Virginia, Vol. III (May 1, 1705-October 23, 1721), 1979/1986). His estimated date of birth is based on the fact that he probably had to be age 21 (or older) in 1715 when he was appointed Sheriff of King & Queen County, VA.
Thomas Madison received a land patent of 330 acres in St. John's Parish, King William County, VA, on 11 July 1719.
Thomas Madison is mentioned as a Godfather to the baptism of James Madison, son of Ambrose Madison and Frances Taylor, who was born on 27 March 1723 and was baptized on 21 April 1721.
Thomas Madison was listed in the Ambrose Madison Account Book for 1725-1726 (second alphabetical list).
Caroline County, VA, was formed from Essex County, King William County, and King & Queen County, VA in 1727. It is unclear to this author when the first Court was actually held in Caroline County, VA. There are Court Order Books for Caroline County, VA beginning in 1732 that survived destruction by fire during the Civil War. Thomas Madison first appear in the Court Order Book on 9 March 1732/33 in which Thomas Madison, Robert Woolfolk, Robert Farris and Thomas White was ordered to appraise the estate of Benjamin Row. The last entry if on 10 July 1755 when the Inventory of the estate of Thomas Madison is admitted to record. Many references to Thomas Madison appear between these two dates showing that he remained a resident of Caroline County, VA from 1732/33 until his death in 1755. Some of the most relevant references are as follows:
20 June 1733 Lewis Burwell patented 400 acres in St. Johns Parish, Caroline County, VA on a brahcn of the Middle River, adjacent to White Runn, Thomas Madison, Robert Hind, Pigg & Madison and John Martin's upper tract, formerly patented to John Martin on 30 October 1727. [Patent Book 12, page 190]
10 January 1734/35 Robert Farish, Thomas Madisson, George Tripple and Thomas Coleman were ordered to appraise the estates of John May and Benjamin Downer.

August 31, 1741, Duncon Bohannon or Caroline County, VA, deeded 342 acres to John Baylor, Gent., of Caroline County, VA adjacent to line Thomas Madison and land of Roger Madison, line of John Baylor being also John Pickett's corner (in exchange for land from Baylor to Bohannon located in Orange County, VA). [Orange County Deed Book __, 1741-1743, page __] Based on this reference, it is quite possible that John Madison, Roger's father, died by 1741 and Roger Madison inherited the land as the heir at law. Before John Madison's death, he was residing next door to his brother, Thomas Madison. After John Madison's death (if I am right on my assumption), Roger Madison, the nephew of Thomas Madison resided next door Thomas Madison.
