André was from an aristocratic French Creole family, with some roots in Grenoble, France.
Madison’s paternal grandfather was James Marx “Jim” Iseman (the son of Isaac Iseman and Mary Cora Cato/Catoe). James was born in South Carolina. Isaac was born in South Carolina, to German Jewish parents, Marx/Mayer Eisenmann Iseman, from Heilbronn, and Emma Swegt/Sweet, from Darmstadt. Mary was the daughter of James Russell Cato and Elizabeth Holly Ann “Lizzy” Threatt.

Charles was the son of Alfred Roman, who was of French descent, and of Sarah Taylor Rhett. Eleanor was the daughter of Edward P. VanBenThuysen and Annie Dorian Moody.
Madison’s maternal grandfather is named Charles R. Gardiner/Gardener (the son of David Gardiner/Gardener and Margaret/Margareta). Charles was born in New Jersey. David was born in Scotland, the son of Charles Gardiner and Maria. Margaret was born in Pennsylvania.
Madison’s maternal grandmother is Phyllis/Phylis Clair Fowner (the daughter of Maurice/Morris W. Fowner and Sarah Moss). Phyllis was born in Pennsylvania. Maurice was the son of William J. Fowner and Bertha Vandergraft. Sarah likely was the daughter of Irish parents, Michael Moss and Mary Maguire.
