Josiah and Judith had alot of kids and the one I am connected to would be Turner Meador. Turner was born in 1790 and married Judith Richardson in 1814. I haven't been able to find very many people in the same line but, I am continually looking. What you say about accents could be true. I think both reasons sound plausible. Thanks for responding :)
