Eleanor Ann Roach

ESTHER2 was born circa 1740. She married Reuben Roach Sr. (see #2), son of David Roach and Unknown Madison, before 1759 at Orange Co., VA. She died after 1780 at Rockingham Co., VA.

DAVID3 ROACH was born circa 1700 at England. He married Unknown Madison (see #5), daughter of John Madison II and Isabella Minor, circa 1730 at Spotsylvania Co., VA. He died in 1761 at Orange Co., VA. His estate was probated in 1761 at Orange Co., VA.

In Ambrose Madison's will, probated in 1732, he left land to his heirs, and to four men - James Coleman, Daniel Stodgill, Francis [ ]s, and David Roach - whom some researchers believe to be the husbands of Ambrose's sisters. (Virginia Genealogist. Vol. 26. pp. 286-287.) David Roach was an overseer for Ambrose Madison, apparently on the Brookesby tract, 10,000 acres of land Ambrose Madison owned with several partners. Other historians believe that the mention of David Roach in Ambrose Madison's will was only as payment for his services as overseer. (Letter from Ann Miller. Orange County Historical Society. January 20, 1995.) Until further information can be found, the Madison have been included in this genealogy.
