President James Madison was a member of the Virginia Executive
Council serving in Williamsburg in 1779 when the acts published
in this volume were ratified. A signature on the title page bearing
his name indicates this book belonged to Madison. While the signature
is not Madison's, the marginalia matches his handwriting. Owners
of legal materials often updated original printed texts with handwritten
notes in the margins.
