(Quoted from original in Hill) with father Jason and brother Lewis, implying that they were all living in the same household, and that Jason (Jr.) and Lewis were between the ages of 16 and 21 (giving estimated birth dates of 1729-1734). None of the family is present in 1849, and Jason (Jr.) does not appear on the 1852 list. Several members of the Mobberley family appear on the same lists.

    The Jason Meador who witnessed a deed in Craven County, South Carolina was more likely a son of Job, not this Jason, who was his brother.

    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).

  12. ↑ Based on the tithe (tax records) for Lunenburg County in 1750, both Jason and his brother Lewis were born sometime between 1729 and 1734. In his will, their father Jason refers to Lewis as his eldest son. Therefore, Jason [Jr.] would have been born after 1729/30 but before 1734.

  15.   Boundary Dispute:
    The Carolina Colony was divided into North and South Carolina in 1729, but the actual boundary between the two remained both fuzzy and in dispute until about 1815. For much of the early period, the point of contention was where the boundary crossed the PeeDee River. A survey in the 1760s placed the boundary about eleven miles south of where it is now and was not corrected until another survey made about 1772. As a result, a number of land grants made by North Carolina during this period are now in South Carolina.
