In my book.... There seems to be 2 Rufus Meadows in the area. at the pont of Cave Ridge on Butler's farm, showing New River in background. (have photo-need to scan) In the same New River West side road cemetery... Jane, wife of Rufus Meador 1856-1921 RUFUS Meador 1855-1909 NOTE: one grave of Rufus is spelled with Meador the other grave of Rufus is spelled Meadows It is unique to have the same name for 2 men born about the same time frame. This probably added to the confusion of these 2 men, need to collect documents, Cousin Robin --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
