Hi All I just got a copy of a DAR Application for Membership based on Isham Meador submitted back in 1984 by Marguarette Schroeder, the wife of Larvin Schroeder. They lived in the Springfield Illinois area. It has the following lineage: (1) Ivan Lee Meador < (2) George Washington Meador < (3) William Flannery Meador < (4) Ephraim Meador < (5) Isham Meador. For references, the form points to: A. NS DAR # 612194 for generations 4 and 5, B. Genealogical Records of Ephraim Meador and Lydia Flannery by Daniel Burong Meador (1970), C. Genealogical Records of the Meador Family Descendants of Thomas Meador of Virginia by D. B. Meador D. Birth, marriage, and death certificates for generations 1 and 2 Isham's documentation for his service are listed as: A. Pension Number W-25697 B. DAR Patriot's Index, Page 461 under the name of Isham Meadows C. Revolutionary War Records by Brumbaugh, page 208 D. Historical Southern Families, by Bodie Vol IV, pages 133 and 134 E. Indes of Revolutionary War Pension Applications in the National Archives page 379 I have gathered that anyone wishing to join the DAR needs to provide only documentation back to a person that is already documented. So if you tie to one of those generations, all you need to document is your lineage back to that person. Does anyone have any data on the 1970 Daniel Meador Book or know where I can get a copy. I have the 1968 edition - I'm on page 125! WPWP Linda & Warren Pearce Colorado Springs CO 80919-4821
