We know that John Mad(d)ison, II, was born about 1655-1660.There is almost universal acceptance of the fact that the John Madison who was involved in the 1706 deed with a wife, Isabella, mentioned above, was this same John Mad(d)ison, II.In the ordinary course of events in the 17th century in VA, this John Mad(d)ison would have married about 1680 and would have named his first or second son "John".Could this "John Madison, Jr.", witness to Isabella's signature on the power of attorney in 1706, have been the son of this John Mad(d)ison, II?Could this "John Madison, Jr." also have married an Isabella?If so, could this "John Madison, Jr." be the person who married Isabella (Minor Todd?) and parented Ambrose Madison (and his established siblings who were born about 1700 and after)?
