Sure... I don't have much at all on them, but you're welcome to what I have. Elizabeth Jane Meade (1860-4 Feb. 1933) married Ransome Ward. I have yet to find a date. Elizabeth is buried in the Ward family cemetery in Banjo Branch, Kentucky. I have yet to determine which "city" it falls into... I've seen it as River and Offutt and some mail is delievered via the Paintsville post office. Her father was Henry P. Meade. According to Kozee's book, Early Families, he was born in Castlewood, Russell County, VA and died in 1860 in Johnson County, KY. He married Elizabeth Hicks, daughter of Charles Hicks. Henry's father according to Kozee, was Fielden Mead who married a Thacker. Is this your branch of Meades?
