    Notes:

    Catherine Madison is identified as a daughter of Humphrey Madison, who died in 1756, in the following Chalkley's record:

    Page 304.--15th May, 1770. John Madison's bond (with Thomas Madison) as guardian to Catherine Madison, orphan of Humphrey Madison.

    Catherine Madison appears to have been married three times: 1st, on 15 May 1770 to Capt. Robert McClanahan, who was killed in the Battle of Point Pleasant in October 1774; 2nd, in abt. 1775, to a Robert Poage (William Poague {posthumus child Wm Poague,Jr.}) {NAMED AS CATHERINE POAGUE FOR MARRIAGE TO WM. ARBUCKLE}; and 3rd, to William Arbuckle on 11 November 1779 in Botetourt County, Virginia [Source: "Early Marriages, Wills and Some Revolutionary War Records, Botetourt County, Virginia", by Anne Lowry Worrell, pg. 4]. In her marriage record in Botetourt County, she is listed as "Katerine Poague", indicating a probable prior marriage to a Poage, but whether it was a Robert Poage or another Poage that was her 2nd husband cannot be determined in Augusta or Botetourt records (perhaps the record is in a neighboring County). Additional research and sources are needed.
