    George W. B. Meadors was born in Whitley County, Ky., in 1830, and is a son of Jacob M. and Jane W. (Harman) Meadors, natives of North Carolina and Tennessee, and born in 1799 and 1803, respectively. They accompanied their parents to Whitley County, Ky., where they afterward married and lived until 1851. They then came to Crawford County, where their respective deaths occurred in 1871 and 1872. For many years they were Missionary Baptists. The grandfather, John Meadors, was born in North Carolina, was a Revolutionary soldier, and in 1811 went to Whitley County, where he died. The great-grandfather came to America from Scotland when a young man, and lived in North Carolina until his death. The maternal grandfather, Valentine Harman, was born in North Carolina, served in the Indian wars and died in Whitley County, Ky. He was of Dutch origin. Mr. Meadors' great-grandfather, Capt. Thomas Baken, came to America from England, served in the Revolution, and afterward settled in South Carolina, and became a wealthy citizen. He was a member of the State Legislature, and met his death while fighting a duel with John Brown, a fellow colleague, friend and neighbor. George W. B. Meadors is the fifth of a family of thirteen children, and passed his boyhood near the Cumberland River among the Kentucky hills. His education was limited, as he attended school but a few months. From 1847 until discharged at Louisville in July, 1848, he served under Gen. Scott, in Company K, Third Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, going from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico. He was run over by a wagon at the last place and severely hurt. In 1848 he married Lucy C., daughter of Nathan Moore, a native of Whitley County, Ky. Her parents came from South Carolina, and were early settlers of Kentucky. To Mr. and Mrs. Meadors seven children have been born, of whom two sons and two daughters are living. In 1851 Mr. Meadors came to this county and homesteaded forty acres, to which he has added until he now has 120 acres of well-improved land, upon which, since 1875, he has operated a good gin and corn-mill, all his property being the result of his own personal effort. He was formerly a Democrat, but since the war has been a Republican, and after 1868 served as deputy sheriff of the county for ten years. For five years after the war he held a captain's commission in the militia. Mr. and Mrs. Meadors are members of the Missionary Baptist Church. There are in this county eighty-three voters directly members of the Meadors family, and of these eighty-one are Republicans.

  7. ↑ His headstone was not government issue and was unmarked until sometime in 1908's. The stone has an incorrect death year of 1927. He was not formally enrolled in the Union Army during the Civil War but may have served as a spy and/or scout for the Union Forces in Van Buren. He did serve in the 3rd Regiment of Kentucky Volunteers during the Mexican War. At the time of his death, he was one of only 13 veterans of that war. <Src: Goodspeed's History of Northwestern Arkansas>
