    NOTE: This file was submitted to the DAR by a woman who became a member in April 1925. She submitted files for 6 Patriots in total, and 3 of those have already been noted by the DAR as having problems. In at least two of the three, she apparently conflated at least one father and son, and appears to have done so with Jason's file (for his death date and place).

  6. Sophia's date of birth, based on Census records, would be between 1781 and 1784. The earlier date would be more reasonable, given her marriage about 1798. She married and lived her early married life in Chesterfield, South Carolina. Jason Meador is the only Meador in South Carolina who has an unmarried daughter in the 1790 Census who could be Sophia, and his wife Sophia would still have been of child-bearing age.
