Additional Details:
James Madison, fourth President of the United States, was born at Port Conway, Va., March 16th, 1751. He was graduated from Princeton in 1772. In September, 1794, he married a beautiful young widow, Mrs. Dorothy Payne Todd. About the time of his marriage, he built his home at Montpelier--a large, commodious mansion, designed more for comfort and hospitality than display; one wing was exclusively appropriated to his mother. Madison died here on June 28th, 1836, his widow surviving him thirteen years
