 Bishop Madison is interred in the chapel of the College in Williamsburg, Virginia.Although he is not generally regarded as one of the founding fathers of the United States, his role in successfully helping restructure and lead both the College of William and Mary and the Church of England in the United States during and after the American Revolution was a major contribution to the new country.In modern times, the Bishop James Madison Society, a secret society which was founded in 1812 immediately after his death, is named for him.
