Research Notes
From Volume 1 of Meador Families of Virginia and Points West by Victor P Meador (1989) p 34,
"Jesse Meador had been given 200 acres from his large holdings by his father, (5) Joel, in his will. This property lay between Indian Run and Grimes Creek. This land was later sold by some of his children to his sons Jonas and Thomas, and to Thomas's son Ananias. This deed (in Deed Book 12, page 2, dated Oct. 15, 1826) was signed by David, Polly, Moses, Franky, Nancy, and Rhoda (and some of their spouses), thus confirming their parentage. However, NOT named were Barsheba (who was in Tennessee); Amelia (in West Virginia); Agnes (deceased); Ama/Anna (in West Virginia); and the questionable Daniel, who may have been handicapped and incapable of making a deed. Thus, the listing of children given here is quite probably correct"
Children by Frances:
1)Thomas, 2)Barsheba, 3)Amelia "Milly", 4)Agnes "Aggy", 5)Ama or Anna, 6) Daniel, 7)David, 8)Frances "Franky", and 9)Rhoda
Children by Mary:
1)Nancy, 2)Mary "Polly", and 3)Moses Greer
Children by Lucy: 1) Jonas

If that was the intention of this profile, a merge should be proposed for the two with Meador as the correct LNAB
