    MEADOWS
    Jacob came from Rockingham County from the same settlement as John and Christian Peters, who came in 1782. Judge Johnston, in his "New River Settlements," says he filed a claim for a pension in the County Court of Giles County in 1832, and that he therein states that his first enlistment was for three months under Captain Coker, in Colonel Wall's Regiment. During his three months' service he skirmished with the British around Norfolk and Portsmouth. The last three months he served as a substitute for Adam Hansberger, and served in the Battle of Yorktown, in LaFayette's Corps. John Peters swears that he saw him at Yorktown serving as a soldier. He settled on Lower East River.

    [Lengthy analysis citing or referencing Tax Lists, Military Records, Census Records, Court Records, Land Deeds, and previous research "published" on the Meadows List to show that Francis II is the son of Francis I]

    "A similar analysis should apply to the other young men surnamed Meadows who were born between 1754 and 1774 and who resided in the Hawksbill Creek area on the boundary between modern-day Rockingham and Greene Counties, Virginia. Thus, it is my conclusion that Francis Meadows I was the father of
    Francis Meadows II, born in 1754,
    Israel Meadows, born September 17, 1755,
    Arris Preston Meadows, born about 1760,
    James Meadows, born October of 1760,
    Jacob Meadows, born about 1763,
    Jeremiah Isaac Meadows, born about 1764,
    William Meadows, born before 1766,
    Elijah Meadows, born between 1760 and 1770, and,
    probably, Mathias Meadows, born after 1766 and before 1772.

    "Like George Gleghorn, I reserve judgment on the question of who was the father of John Meadows, born about 1775. Chronologically speaking, he could have been a grandson of Francis Meadows I and not a son."
