↑ 1850 census: Rowland T Madison age 57 b KY gives est birth year as 1793-4 based on age 57. From death info (found 2008), 1794 may be more likely a year. Using Rowland being 85 y, 2 mo, 5 da would give a birth date of abt Aug 27, 1794. Hancock County History (found 3/2012) has "[Rowland]...was born in 1794, near Bowling Green." Although this history is about Illinois and there is a town of Bowling Green in Illinois (Fayette Co), since Roland T's father Rowland is known to be in Kentucky around 1794 (tax list), reference is likely to Bowling Green, Kentucky as Roland's birth place. In 1794 Bowling Green was part of Logan County rather than Warren county, as it is today.
