I can share that with you if you like. James Madison Sr. was the son of John Lewis Jones and Christina Walters. They were married 7-2-1795 in Washington County, VA by Rev. Charles Cummins. I don't know the parents of John Lewis Jones. I have been searching for quit some time for this info. However, the parents of Catherine (Christina) Walters were George Walters and Christina Crewey.
