    1758, MEADOR, FRANCES Married ? Bell, Book: W 11,Page: 129 [no county/state given -- Orange County? Rockingham County?]

  3. ↑ The claim that Francis Meadows wife was Mary Bell and that they married in 1758 in Orange County, Virginia seems to be based on speculation resulting from a possible misreading of a compiled index of early Virginia marriages. There is no record of a marriage for Francis Meadows nor of a Mary Bell in the Orange County, Virginia, Marriage Registers, for 1757-1938, nor in the Virginia Compiled Marriages for 1740-1850, nor in Virginia Compiled Marriages, 1660-1800.

    There is a record -- not a marriage -- dated 1758 for a Frances Meador who married an unknown Bell, based on a Will in Essex County, Virginia, [See: Index to Marriages of Old Rappahannock and essex Countys, Virginia but this is certainly not the record need to establish either Mary's family name nor the date of her marriage to Francis Meadows in Orange county. This is the record for Thomas Meador of Essex County, Virginia whose daughter Frances married William Bell sometime before 1758 when she was named by her father in his will.
