• Notes

  Also seen as Clarke   Ref: cmac_50@hotmail.com Chrissy Coleman-Chapman Ancestry World Tree REFN# 2590 She states that Susannah is a daugahter of Micajah Clark. This does not work with dates I have for each. one Micajah is too old and one is too young.   Most of my info comes from VP Meador   According to pearceww@rmi.net, she is born about 1728 in Essex Co, or Carolina Co, VA   Franklin Co VA Marriage Bonds 1786-1858 Page 36 Blankenship, Hexekiah and Rhoda Meador, dau of Joel, Feb 28, 1791, Sur.Elijah Blankenship Ellis, Thos M and Susannah Meador, dau Joel Jan 13, 1820 Sur: James Meador Meador, Joel and Arena Arrington, July 6, 1853, Sur: Daniel Arrington, 140   Copy of newspaper article Meador, Joseph Family F552 The Meadors of Smith Co, Tennessee were descendants of Puritan and Quaker pioneers, who came from England about 1636 and settled on the Rappahannock River in Virginia. From there members of family moved mostly south and west until 1860. My family was in Smith Co Tennessee. In the Smith County census of 1840 there were several families of Meadors in Smith County. By 1850 (after the formation of Macon County in 1842) there was only one family listed by that name. The Joseph Meador family (my great-grandfather) consisted of Joseph Meador, 48 yrs old, his wife Nancy Jane Rhoads 37, children Western (Wesley) 19, Moses age 17, Mary Jo 15, Absolom (Abseda) 12, Albert A 1, Sarah F 5, and Ann Elizabeth 10 months old. I have only a few records of most of the children or their descendeants but as was the story of so many families when the Civil War broke out, each man followed his own beliefs and conscience. The elder son Wesley, joined the Confederacy Co E 22nd (Barteau's) Co , 2nd Tennessee Cavalary,. Barteau's cavalry was in....MISSING line....then...and Albert joined the Union Army Co T 9th KY inf on 9-15-1861. They served until November and December 1864. One story I remember was that on a march, one brother found a meat skin. Provisions being so short, he saved it until night when the soldeirs camped. He found his brother and together they toasted the meat skin over a fire and ate the dripping on bread. Such an example of brotherly love. Also on January 2, 1863, at the Battle of Murfeesboro the Confederate 28th Tennessee Inf captured the 9th Kentucky Inf Reg flag. My great grandfather Ridley Robert West was in the 28th Tennessee, so therefore my grandfather and my great grandfather fought on opposite sides in at least one battle of the war. After the war, they retruned to Smith County and resumed their lives. Albert married Mary Ann Mundy and is remembered by many elder residents of Smith County as a most compassionate and honorable man. Uncle Albert and Aunt "Molly" were the grandparents of present Smith County residents Kenneth and Gordon Kirby and Mrs. Nettie Phillips and Mrs. Myrle Holland. Moses Alexander married Fannie Allen Pyron and became the parents of seven children. Three of the children died at an early age. Three of the remaining left Tennessee to live elsewhere. Elmore married Lura Donoho and moved to Tucson Arizona. Robert moved to Winfield Kansas where he married Ida Orr. Henry Jefferson never married and traveled and worked all over the USA. He died in Galveston Texas in 1955. My father William Alton, married Bessie West Massey and died in Smith County in 1928. During their marriage they lived in Texas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. He contracted tuberculosis and spent several months in the Woodman Sanitarium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In those days there was no medication to treat the disease so the treamtnet was to collapse the affected lung by putting air into the plural cavity, with the help of Dr. Boze of Defeated who instered a needle in the correct place, my father continued to keep the lung collapsed until advised to discontinue the treatment. There were three children born to this union. Frances who mow lives in Denver Colorado, Virginia who lives in Galveston Texas and James who graduated from Carthage High School and now lives in Dibell Texas. Bessie West Massey Meador is now 96 yras old and lives in Galveston, Texas. She reads the Carthage Courier every week and is still interested in Smith County. The Meador Heritage Society meets every two years in Pipestorm West Virginia to keep a record of descendents and to study and honor our heritage.   Penny's old notes: Joel witnessed a sale of land in 1806 of Jame Gwin or Givin of Smith Co Tn to Daniel Claborn and 5 Dec 1810 John Givin to James Givin Job Meadow to John Gilvin 130 acres 26 Jan 1819 page 146 Job Meador to Joel Meador 82 1/2 acres 12 Jan 1836 Meador, Jonas Jr Sale 25 May 1815 Buyers: Jonas,Ira, Frances, Susanna, Job, Asa, Asa Admr: July Term 1816 Simmons, Smith, 23 May 1824 Division of property ordered Feb Term 1824 Franky Simmons Meador, Christopher Simmons, Lucy Simmons Meador, Susannah Simmons Woodcock, Levina Simmons, May (Mary) Simmons Recd May 1824   Unknown Source: 4.

Elizabeth b 1790 d.   12 Oct 2002 from "Janet" monkey@getgoin.net> My line is Joel Meadoar (Jonas Meador, JOhn, Thomas "Prphan", Thomas Meades, Fatehr) was born about 1729 in Cumberland Co VA. He died in 1798 in Franklin Co VA. Joel married (1) Susannah Clark, daugther of George Clark and Elizabeth on 25 Nov 1750 in Franklin Co VA. Susannah was born in 1730 in Essex Co VA. She died on 11 Feb 1818 in Franklin Coi VA, Joel also married (2) Mrs. Agnes Meador. Agnes was born about 1742 in VA. Mary (Susannah) Meador was born in 1751/1758 and died before 1818 married John Heard. The Heard family has there as Susannah. The Meador family has her as Mary. What do know she is one of Joel children (as written). I have both Heard and Meador of my webpage www.geocities.com/janet_arciu Janet   According to an old book, found not to be exactly correct via VPM: "Sixth Generation" Meador, Isham b 20 March 1762 Bedford Co VA died 2 March 1840 Smith Co Tenn, fL Meador, Joel Sr m: Clark, Susannah mar 25 March 1782 to Bradshaw, Biddy, Bedford Co VA Children: M. 1. John b 1785 Bedford co VA M. 2. William b 26 April 1786 Bedford Co VA M.3. Eli b ca 1787 Bedford Co VA M. 4. Jessie b 1799 Franklin Co VA or Smith Co Tn M. 5. Ambrose M. 6. Deaton M. 7. Ephraim b 23 May 1787 Franklin Co VA M. 8. Peter F. 9. Elizabeth Those born after Jesse are not in order of birth. It is probably that there were more children. Isham was a RW soldier, see page 7, the Meadaor Family. Is is possible that Deaton and Ephraim came to Illinois, together and Deaton went to Wayne Co, IL in 1830
