I just happened to see him listed on the same page with my William Deason,and I have always been told he was related to the Meadors but have never found out how. William Deason's parents were John Deason and Susan Guin, I have always believed Susan's mother was a Meador, but have never found a Meador who married a Guin. Hope this is your Mordecai. Karen
