    Thomas Meador (Meadows) Jr (5Q3R-X0) b. ca 1765-1775, prob. Cheraws, SC; m. Elizabeth Todd (b. 1779, NC); Children:
    Moberly or Thomas Meadors, b. ca. 1796, NC; m. Catherine Matthews, b. ca. 1801, KY; m. Nancy R. Weir, b. ca. 1800, NC

    Note: The 1796 birth date is probably based on the 1850 census, which is not consistent with other census records. There is no evidence that Thomas married a second time, and could only have done so at a very advanced age as his first wife Catherine was still living in 1870.

    It appears that the father of Lewis Meadors was Harrison W.Meadors/Meadows according to the 1850 Census. While visiting Salem, Indiana historical society museum this past July I found a copy of Guardianship papers appointing guardianship of Lewis H., Nancy Jane, Green, Harris minor heirs of Harrison Meadors to Thomas M. Meadors dated 16 April 1855.
