Early life
Ambrose Madison and his mother Frances Taylor (aunt of Richard Taylor) were born in 1723 in Orange County, Virginia, and Madison's parents were planter and politician Ambrose Madison and his partner Frances Taylor (aunt of Richard Taylor). In 1732, when he was nine years old, his family migrated to Mount Pleasant, the country's new plantation. His father used slaves and an executive to clear it, a job that had been ongoing for five years to establish cultivation. His father died at the age of 36 in August after a brief illness in the summer (1732).
The family or the sheriff suspected him of being poisoned by slaves, and three others were charged in the case and found guilty by the Commission of Peace by justices. Only one slave was executed, according to unusually, dido and Turk, who were owned by widow Frances Taylor Madison, were returned to her as slaves after being punished by whipping.
James was educated and trained to be a planterer and slave owner, as well as a member of the landed gentry. His widowed mother never remarried, which was unusual for a woman of a certain age; she had a large Taylor family in the county at the time; she had a long family. As the eldest son, James Madison Sr., inherited Mount Pleasant when he came of age in 1744. He named the plantation Home House. He eventually bought 5,000 acres, making him the county's largest landowner. He had 108 slaves by the time of his death.
