>From Granville County Kinfolks - Deed Book "L" pg. 182 Nicholas METLOCK sold land in Granville Co., to James THOMPSON of Louisa County, VA in which Mary (SHELTON) METLOCK, wife of said Nicholas, relinquished her dower right, October 15, 1777. There also happen to be HUDSPETH, MOORE and HICKS deeds on this same page if anyone needs them... Also, there is a listing for Nicholas as on the Granville 1769 Tax List. The only other MEADLOCK listed is John... For me it all underscores the idea that Nicholas is the father of Richard.... still hunting tho. Jana
