Narrative

As James Madison, Sr., grew older, he assumed a larger role in the management of the plantation. One of his responsibilities was to carry tobacco to the warehouse of Francis Conway on the Rappahannock River. There he met Conway's daughter, Nelly, and in 1749, they married. Twelve children would be born to them over the next twenty-two years, though five would die in infancy. The first child, James Madison, Jr., was born March 16, 1751, leaving, in order of birth, Francis, Ambrose, Nelly, William, Sarah, and Frances.
