Madison
County:
Organized: December 14, 1818
Named after: James Madison
County seat: Fredericktown |
Madison County, Missouri was formed in
1818 from Cape Girardeau and St. Genevieve Counties. Birth records are
available from 1883-1900. Marriage records are on file from 1821 and
death records from 1883-1900. Land records from 1819 exist. Probate
records exist from 1821 and court records are on file in the county
courthouse since 1827. A
widely accepted theory is that Fredericktown, the county seat of
Madison County, was named for Captain George Frederick Bollinger, a young active
pioneer and statesmen of the time.
The Village of St. Michael, which later
became Fredericktown, was settled in 1799 by French settlers exploring the
lead mines of Mine La Motte, four miles north of Fredericktown.
Madison County is surrounded by the counties of
Wayne,
Iron,
St. Francois,
Perry, and
Bollinger. |
