    • !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.
