He grew up at Madison Hall in Port Republic, VA, a small village near the start of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Madison was a cousin of U.S. President James Madison, Jr. (1751-1836). He attended the College of William and Mary, graduating with high honors in 1771, and later studied law under George Wythe, although he never practiced. Madison was appointed the eighth president of the College of William and Mary in 1777 and served in that position until his death in 1812. During his college presidency, Madison was also designated the first bishop of the Diocese of Virginia of the Episcopal Church.
