Madison Walthall Sr. (October 19, 1792 – June 15, 1848)[1][2] was an American politician, civil servant, and soldier. He served in the United States Army during the Mexican–American War, and later held office in the California State Legislature.[3]

Madison was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia to parents John Wathall and Catherine Madison.[2] He had one child with his first wife, Mary Anne Wilson; and two children with his second wife, Elizabeth Frances Burfoot. Walthall had enslaved Edmond Edward Wysinger (c. 1816–1891), and brought him to California.[4][5]
