    See p. 68, 1830 US Census, Anson County, North Carolina for possible family members
  9. 9.0 9.1 It is not clear which Mordecai Meador purchased this property -- it could have been Mordecai M Meador. This Mordecai seems slightly more likely because of this Mordecai's documented association in Sumter County with Obediah and John Vines Meador (see 1840 Census). The land in question is also closer to the land for which this Mordecai had a documented grant of land the following year.<ref></ref>
