This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Meador, Batson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IM0.2ACEB/550.2 Message Board Post: I am certain there is Indian blood in my Meador family, but I have not been able to document it. My grandfather, showed me pictures and told me countless times that his grandmother, Rebecca Francis Meador, whom he knew well, was half Cherokee. The problem is that we do not know her Indian name nor her mother's Indian name. Her mother was Elizabeth Batson--but tracing that back is an iron wall.
I've heard this same story----but from my mother and she from her father (whose mother was a Meador). I've never found a connection, but isn't it strange that they all have the same story? My line is not the same Meador line as yours----or at least they're from a different descendant of the immigrant. ----- Original Message ----- From: <janeva@carolina.rr.com> To: <MEADOR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 2:08 PM Subject: [MEADOR] Re: Indian blood in Meador family > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Meador, Batson > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IM0.2ACEB/550.2 > > Message Board Post: > > I am certain there is Indian blood in my Meador family, but I have not > been able to document it.
