Hi Ray, Madison is not that common of a name in Livingston County. I found only a few references. Here is the only one from the Portage area. He may be a member of the same family. Hope it is useful. Regards, Doug Morgan Livingston County Historical Society Madison, Warren (Minnie A) owns 74a RD# 2 Hunt PO res Twn Portage T H24 1/8 1917 This means that in 1917, Warren & Minnie Madison owned 74 acres in the town of Portage, NY and got their mail from the Hunt Post Office. They also had a telephone. Ray Gross wrote: >Curious if anyone has information on this man. All information is from his Civil War service record. His name is Charles L.
