At five feet four inches, Madison was our smallest President. QUOTES: "All men having power ought to be mistrusted." --James Madison "There is an evil which ought to be guarded against in the indefinite accumulation of property from the capacity of holding it in perpetuity by...corporations. The power of all corporations ought to be limited in this respect. The growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses." --James Madison "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." --James Madison "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." --James Madison "No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." --James Madison "The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." --James Madison "Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other." --James Madison "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." --James Madison "Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians in exclusion of all other sects." --James Madison "The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries." --James Madison MADISON'S PERSONAL RELIGIOUS VIEWS: "Later, when the young man had a chance to talk with the president, he found Madison surprisingly droll but looking serious even as he joked. Their talk turned to religion. During the war, congressmen had requested that Madison issue the usual proclamation setting a day of prayer and fasting for America's success. He had refused. The people, Madison said, could pray on their own if they were disposed to do so. On this night, he confided to the professor that among religions, he favored the Unitarians." --A. J. Langguth, p. 372 FREEMASONRY "The largest and most widely established fraternal order in the world. The masons' guilds were originally restricted to stonecutters, but with the completion of the building of the cathedrals in the 17th century, and especially in England during the Reformation, they began to include as members, men of wealth or social status. The guilds thus became societies devoted to general ideals, such as fraternity, equality, and peace, and their meetings became social rather than business occasions. The Masonic ideals of religious toleration and the basic equality of all people were in keeping with the growing spirit of liberalism during the 18th century. One of the basic tenets of the Masonic orders throughout the English-speaking world has been that religion is the concern solely of the individual. The earliest of the U.S. lodges, founded by authority of the Grand Lodge of England, were the First Lodge of Boston, established in 1733, and one in Philadelphia, established about the same time. By the time of the American Revolution, about 150 lodges existed in colonial America. American Freemasons today make up about three-fourths of the total number of all members throughout the world; world membership exceeds 6 million." -- Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia "Madison is said to have been a Member of Hiram Lodge No. 59, Westmoreland County, Virginia, a Lodge which had only a short existence, and whose records are lost." --Famous Masons from Around the World Notes on this website are authored by Larry Overmire, unless noted otherwise.

The American Link. Since the ‘five daughters and severn sonnes’ produced by Edmund Parker in the early 16th C, the family has dispersed from Lancashire, with each generation, to other parts of Britain and then around the world. Some of those migrations are recorded, while for others the link to the ‘Parkers of Browsholme’ has been lost. However the most significant migration for the family was to the then Colony of Virginia in 1680 and this link to Browsholme is described below: Robert Parker of Browsholme (b.1527) married (1554), Elizabeth Chadderton of Nuthurst, Lancs. They produced four sons, the youngest being William Parker who went to Cornwall about 1580. Robert’s father Edmund (c.1490 –1547) bought a new lease of Nether Browsholme in 1507 and for his wife, Elizabeth, the heiress of John Redmayne, he built the present house. for earlier Parker ancestors). William Parker (1560-1631) now Archdeacon of Cornwall married Joan Panchard (m.1589) and they had a two sons the eldest being James Parker. James Parker (1590-1672) the eldest son of William, married Katherine Buller, of Shillington Cornwall on 12th December 1616; Richard was the 9th child and the 4th son of this marriage that produced 21 children! Richard Parker (1630-1677 the ‘emigrant’) emigrated to the Colony of Virginia, arriving in Nasemond County in 1647 it is said due to a price being put on his head by Oliver Cromwell, for his support of Charles I and the royalist army. I am grateful to Waunita Powell who has carried out detailed research into yhe confusion caused by the coincidence of three Richard Parkers residing in VA. during the mid 17thC. She has determined that Richard Parker (of Browsholme) married Mary Perkins a widow and former Londoner: "Richard, ye 9th, Dr. of Physick went to Virginy, married a Londoner and had issue six children, liveth upon Saint James River, in ye Uplands of Virginy, hath been High Sheriff of sd County." As time permits I would like to produce a family tree of Richards descendants; in the meantime Ican do no better than link to Waunita Powells manuscript. 'The Three Parkers of VA'. hereWilliam Parker
