John Paul and Lewis Davis purchased the land where the city [Madison] now stands from the government in 1809. Paul, Davis and Jonathan Lyon laid out the town in 1810. The first sale of lots was held the following year."
"At first John Paul called the town Wakefield but soon changed it to Madison... The county, named Jefferson, was organized in 1811 and county records date from that time."
