The family trees on Roots Web contain over 300 entries that list the wife of Thomas Meador (c1636-1662) as Sarah HOSKINS, but no documentation is provided for this maiden name. Does anyone know the source for this marriage or if there is proof of Sarah's name? Thanks, BonnieGet more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Surnames: Mader, Madir, Meador, Meder, Meadows, Meders, etc. Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.meador/856/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I was wondering if someone might be able to help me. I have a GG-Grandfather named Michael Meders, from German Catholic Church documents in Cumberland, MD, I was given a grave site with the names John Meder (1799-1877) and 2 named Margaretha Meder (mother and daughter). Although the relationship was never supplied by the church, I believe my Michael was a son of John. When I was young, I had done a grave rubbing on the stone of Michael's wife, Caroline (that church records can no longer identify-yet I know it was in their cemetary)and this listed her as wife of Michael Meders. A 1913 Cumberland, MD Directory gives Caroline as the widow of Michael Meders. Apparently, sometime toward the end of the 1800's an "s" was included. I'm disabled, so I've not been able to afford any paid genealogical sites or even travel back to Cumberland for any additional information. I've been through censuses and stuff, but I'm finding surprisingly little information. There is a suggestion that they may have come from PA. I've contacted a Meder from Scranton, PA but haven't heard anything back yet. Caroline Hodel-Meders was from Philadelphia to Cumberland. Thier daughter, Florence married by G-Grandfather Benjamin N. Ellsworth, who was born in Ohio, according to censuses, and moved to Cumberland by way of Pennsylvania. I also have other family relatives from another branch who moved from Rockingham Co, VA, through Hardy Co, WV and into Cumberland. There's at least 3 different routes into Cumberland from all directions. Also, seeing the varieties of the Meder spellings (Meader, Mader, Meadows, Madore, Meders) I'm really at a loss of hope and now I'm grasping at straws. I was lucky to get what information I have from family members before they all passed away. St Peter & Pauls has been knid enough to send me the documents they can find, which has helped to lead to other sources, but this branch has grown cold. I'm hoping anyone might be able to offer some help or suggestions. Thank you, Terry tacapollo(at)peoplepc(dot)com

My Meadors Family was from Macon Co., TN and ended up in Ellis County, Texas by 1900. Is Ellis County considered "East"? I believe that some of this same family were also in Hardeman County, Texas before coming to California in late 30's-40's. Please forgive my ignorance about the wonderful state of Texas. Thanks!

I copied From These Beginnings - The Ancestry of Doris Ercelle, Beadles, Audit at the LDS library a couple of weeks ago. It was published in 1981 with updates in 1993 and 1995. It has a lot of Meador data back in England as well as our early days in Virginia. It starts with Thomas Meador Sr born about 1610 and dying in 1655. His son is Thomas Jr "The Younger" His son is John Meador Sr born about 1650 who married Elizabeth White. His son is John Meador Jr who died in 1721. His son is Jonas who was born about 1698 and died in 1768. Some of my other Meador books do not have the 2 John Meadors. Do you have any opinions on its correctness???

This came to my administrator address. Mary is probably not a member of the Meador list, so if anyone has information for her, please be sure to write her at macstew8ster@gmail.com Alice Allen Listmom for MEADOR-L ---------------Reply Separator------------------ I am not sure what procedure to follow but I am researching the Meador line. I am a great granddaughter of Illinois Meador married to Stephen Wilson Anderson in l887. There seems to be two Illinois Meadors. One born in1864 and 1865. I believe my ancestor is the one born in 1864. Her father was Martin F. Meador b. abt. 1826 who was married to Sarah Epperson. Any information I could obtain would be appreciated.
