• Notes

  !Source: Jerry Ponder's "Life of Abner Ponder," p ix Jerry notes that James Madison m Charlotte, last name unknown, often written as Chalot. They had at least four children. He spent some time in the Tenn Militia and in 1834 was a Captain in the 36th Regiment. In 1836 he was elected a Magistrate for Hickman County at only 26 or 27 years. He and his family moved to Ripley County, Missouri, about 1842, but he died by 1845, leaving his family to his wife to raise. Their oldest son Archibold Huston Ponder raised a family in Ripley Co, MO, but then moved to Truman, ARK. There is no record of Charlotte and the three younger children in Ripley County aftger the Civil War. There is a possibility that they did not survive the war.
