Historical notes

"Montpelier was the lifelong home of James Madison, Jr. "Father of the Constitution," sponsor of the Bill of Rights, and fourth President. But Montpelier also was home to three generations of Madisons—from 1723, when Ambrose Madison, the President's grandfather was deeded the land, until 1844 when the widowed Dolley Madison sold the estate."
