The Short Life and Strange Death of Ambrose
Madison
Ambrose Madison (ca. 1696-1732), Grandfather of President James Madison. Born
into a well established Tidewater Virginia family, Ambrose Madison built
a rising career as a planter, merchant, entrepreneur and county official
before moving westward into the fertile soil of the new Piedmont frontier�to
the land that would later become his family�s Montpelier plantation. But
his ordered and ambitious life was cut short by an early and violent death.
Ambrose Madison was just establishing his family at his new plantation
in the summer of 1732 when he was killed by slaves�the first documented
murder victim in the region.
Here, for the first time, the scattered remaining records concerning
Ambrose Madison are brought together to reconstruct not only much of the
life, but also the death of this previously little-known figure�a nearly
three-century-old murder mystery.
