Allen Meadows was a son of Thomas Meadows who in turn was a son of Francis Meadows (c.1754-1836). There is an ongoing DNA project which is attempting to link all of the sons of this Francis Meadows by means of a Y-DNA test. This requires the testing of a descendant through the male line. We know of at least one son of Allen Meadows and Sarah Rogers - a Joseph T. Meadows. Testing would have to be done on a son or grandson or great-grandson (etc.) of this Joseph, with descent strictly through the male line. Francis Meadows, according to his Revolutionary War records, had twelve sons but they were not named in the records. So far six sons have been proven by paper documentation: Francis, Fielding, Anthony, Thomas, Nathan, and St. Clair. Another, Abraham, has been connected through the comparison of Y-DNA tests done on two of his male descendants and a test conducted on a male descendant (me) of Nathan's. The aim of the project is to test male descendants of all of the six proven sons and male descendants of the other suspected, but not proven, sons in hopes of tying them together genetically. Please reply only if you have information pertaining to my question. I have done no research on the Rogers family and know nothing about them. Thank you.
